Well, soon Im gonna be going to LA and I was wondering what places are gluten free (dairy free to).

ok, lets just say "safe" places, any safe places where I don't have to worry about contamination???

Im gonna be staying in a raddison hotel next to LAX. I'd be sooo happy and grateful if someone could give me a list or tell me some nice places to eat. Thanks everyone :)

There is a PF Changs in the Beverly Center.

The Stinking Rose on LA Cienaga, they don't have gluten-free menu, but if you call in advance, they will accomodate and even let you bring your own bread to enjoy with the roasted garlic appetizer (YUM)

Solar Harvest 242 S Beverly Drive Has Gluten Free items on the menu and can make any sandwich gluten-free, they keep Food for Life Bread handy. Only open til 9pm though. Super Yummy.

Ruth Chris Steakhouse on S Beverly Drive, super accomodating, has a gluten free chocolate cake.

La Fe 1525 West Sunset, fresh mexican food, fresh fruit drinks. Only one owner speaks english, I recommend having a spanish dining card.

A Votre Sante 13016 San Vincente Blvd @26th Fabu Risottos. some of thier desserts are only "wheat free" not gluten-free.

For IN and Out. Order your burger "protien style" do not order with sauce or grilled onions. Ask them to cook it on a seperate grill away from the buns. They keep a clean grill open for this. French Fries and Shakes are safe.

Baja Fresh will be friendly (helps if you have a card) I usually talk to a manager and they make something special for me.

elonwy.......

we checked out the Solar Harvest 242 S Beverly Drive , it was really good , thanks :P , the owner came out and helped us order, she was very knowledgable about celiac. She said her friend has celiac and helped her when she was making up her business plan and menu. It was very good, and we felt very safe eating there.

Another great find was Julianos Raw, I am dairy free also and there is no dairy, soy gluten. He was very nice and came out and talked to me and my mom, after I explained to the waitress that I had celiac disease. I am very picky and would have preferred cooked meat in and out burger, but this was really different and good. His philosphy is that my body was just smarter at an earlier age to reject the gluten and dairy, and that eventually everybody has problems (health) because of it. He suggested that i stick with the all raw, I would if I could have somebody cook me his gourmet meals everyday, otherwise it would be pretty hard to stick to it.

I'm glad you had good eats! A Votre Sante is great. I can't do raw foods, they just go through my system like gluten. Its great when people are freindly though :)

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.

      Anyone experimented with Taurine supplementation either via electrolyte powders or otherwise? Thanks
