Great Restaurant Experience In Torrance Ca

I had such a wonderful experience eating out on Friday night; I have to share.

If you live in the south bay, or you are planning to visit the L.A. area, I want to mention the Depot in Torrance. I don’t go out to dinner often, and I haven’t been to the Depot since I started eating gluten-free. On Friday night my family and I tried the Depot. I told the waitress I had some questions about the menu, and that I needed to order a gluten free meal. A few minutes later the owner and chef, Michael Shafer, came over to our table and said “ok, so who has Celiac?” My jaw dropped to the table. It turns out, Chef Shafer has a close friend who has Celiac, and he is extremely knowledgeable about the gluten-free diet. He went over the menu with me, told me what I could eat and what could be modified for me. He was great! I ordered the pumpkin corn soup (yes, gluten-free soup!!) and the herb crusted salmon. Everything was delicious. Chef Shafer also came by several times to check on my meal. He treated us all so well. So – if you live in the area, or visit this area, try the Depot. I suggest calling ahead to check if Chef Shafer is there to help you with the menu. I have no idea if others at the restaurant are as familiar with the gluten-free diet. I’m hoping they are because I will be eating at this restaurant again soon.

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      Oral thrush question

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @JulieRe! You would do well to get checked for a candida infection of the gut. Yeast thrives on carbs so you might also look into a low carb diet. These kinds of things seem to be more common in the celiac community than in the general population. There is a growing body of evidence that the development of celiac disease is rooted in unhealthy gut biome conditions. It's good that you are getting that red spot on your tongue checked out soon. It's likely related to the thrush but I would also not rule out a neoplasm which you would certainly want to catch early.

      Hi there! I have very similar dermatitis herpetiformis responses. The only thing that helps is dissolving a Benadryl pill and rubbing that on the painful itchy spots that arise on my knees, scalp, elbows. I have been working with a nutritionist who also has celiac we narrowed down to me only getting we certified gluten-free products - which I try the best I can. But then I have found products that use guar gum and other additive gums I have reactions as well. It was my plant based milk. I had to switch to Elmhurst it’s just nuts and milk- most of the time.   I hope that’s helpful! I’ll keep following:) we seem to have very similar reactions!

      Oral thrush question

      By JulieRe · Posted

      Hi,  My name is Julie and I am new to the forum.  I have been diagnosed with Celiac disease since 2006.  I follow a strict gluten free diet. In July I was diagnosed with oral thrush.  I had swollen lips, and my tongue was very red towards the front.  I also had a weird taste in my mouth and very dry mouth despite drinking lots of fluids.  I went to Urgent care and was prescribed fluconazole oral tablets for 5 days and it essentially cleared up.  Has anyone else had this happen?  It was so strange.  The doctor thought the thrush was from my mouth guard I wear at night.  Although my cleaning process had not changed. Also today I noticed an abnormal red spot on my tongue.  No other symptoms.  I will be calling my dentist.  But am curious if anyone has had trouble with yeast in their gut. Thanks Julie
