Well,

The gluten-free and I have officially planned the trip. I am looking forward to seeing the Space Needle, Peugot Sound, Pikes Fish Market and hiking in Snoqualmmie Falls.

I have heard that a lady has reopened a new gluten-free restaurant in Seattle called DaVinci's, so I will likley go there for a couple of meals.

Any other recommendations?

What about hotel recommendations? I am supposed to get the lodging taken care of by Friday...

Let me know

There used tobe a diner called Kalli's kitchen I think.When I was there last summer I called her and she about bit my head off !!! I heard she moved but I don't know if she changed her name. I do know that Lisa Shaw is in Woodinville, Wa. and she has the best pancake mix . Her company is online and she has alot of mixes . Mona's mixes. ANd she is a great friendly person. You could e-mail her to get alot of info....

Loved the market with the flying fish....It gets really crowded , we were there on a Sunday morning by noon it was like 30,000 people ! I like people but I felt like I was smothering.....................................

hope you have a great trip, weren't you in Denver just a while back?????????? All I can say it must be nice to travel alot..... I'm jealous....

Last summer was our big trip for the summer to the Yukon & all of ALaska except the inside passage..... GOing back in 2009 for longer. I'll suggest everyone should do that at least once in their life.........

I assume Lynne and I are still meeting you for dinner on the 24th?

It is called Puget Sound. When you go to Pike Street, get a cooked crab and then go to one of the old bars that are below the market. Then just sit and feast on the crab. I assume the bars are still there. Ask at the market as they should know. As far as the Space Needle, do not go when it is windy unless swaying does not bother you. I was an elevator operator on the Space Needle during the Seattle World's Fair - boy am I old - he he.

I don't have any dining recommendations as I have not been back since my diagnosis.

Kali's Kitchen (I too have had experience with the owner being somewhat... interesting), Flying Apron Bakery (and their stuff is available at the Elliot Bookstore as well), and the Sunlight Cafe all pop to mind first. Search the site for the other relatively recent Seattle thread for a few more hits, besides the normal PF Changs, Z'Tehas, and Outback. There's a Maggiano's in Bellevue that I think has gluten-free stuff.

And let me know if you want any info on any other hikes. Snoqualmie Falls is ok... but it's over-rated, touristy, a short trip, and ... eh. I could have found better places to go on that day. :)

Hey- I'm here right now (or I guess there if you're outside Seattle) and so far, a week into my trip and it has been relatively FLAWLESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The weather has been GORGEOUS!!!! Stocked up at Whole Foods on east foods (and Jamba Juice smoothies- yum!). Ate at Vern's (?) on Orcas- not very gluten free friendly so I just had mussels and was OK. We rented a cottage at the Deer harbor Inn- beautiful!!!!!!!

Just spent three days in Vancouver. Vancouver is gluten-free HEAVEN. I found a list of gluten-free friendly places at Open Original Shared Link

Open Original Shared Link

Looking forward to checking out more of the places in Seattle. Will definitely find Flying Apron Bakery!!! I'll let you know if I find any other gems. Broncobux- did you find a place to stay? I found a really good deal to Vancouver on Hotwire so you might want to try them. We're leaving on the 23rd- it would have been cool to meet you and you gluten-free here! But you'll love it!

Thanks for the advice guys...

Apparently, the people who used to own Kaili's Kitchen now own Da Vinci's and it is 100% gluten free.

I would love to go to Vancouver very soon. My mother was recently there and fell in love with the city.

Tiff, my gluten-free and I are not the most expereinced hikers/climbers, so I probably need something easy! :)

MTN, thanks for the advice as well -- I plan on just going to Pikes and Da Vinci's while I am there...Keep it safe and delicious!

I ate at the Bonefish Grill tonight (down by lake union). It's owned by the same co. as the Outback and has a gluten free menu. It was EXCELLENT!!!!

Just wanted to add that I hit DaVinci's today and it was GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had banana rosemary something coffee cake, a ham, egg and cheese b-fast sandwich (hubby even liked all this) and picked up some potatoes au gratin, hamburger buns, choc chip cookies, a turkey panini, and some kind of lavendar ganache cake for later. Just ate the turkey panini- YUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And a decaf iced Manet (lavender and ganache iced latte). Hubby had a Shakespeare latte- this woman can make coffee drinks!

Kaili (pronounced Kiley) is quite a hot ticket too. I can totally see her chewing someone out on the phone as she doesn't want to be known for good gluten-free food- just good food that happens to be gluten-free. And it's damn good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi,

I was just back visiting my home town, Seattle, and I had a great dining experience at the Pink Door on Post Alley in the Pike Place market.

Our waitress was very well informed about celiac disease and helped me find what I could eat on the menu AND the chef came out and talked to me. He also seemed to know what he was talking about. It was great!

I have been living in Poland for the last two years where I can't eat out at all, so this was a special treat.

The Pink Door has always been one of my favorite places, so I am glad I can still go there!

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
