I am planning a trip w/ my mom next month, just to get away for a few days. I have heard of B&B's and resorts that are gluten-free accomodating. Anyone ever been to one? We're thinking of heading to Cali or somewhere on this side of the states. Anyone who has ever had a good experience lemme know! Thanks!!

Last year I stayed at the Ojai Valley Inn and Spa for a work retreat. It was a wonderful place. Ojai is near Santa Barbara.

I have to admit though, that I'm not sure how they would be for gluten-free meals. Because I was there with work, I did not eat in any of the restaurants. All of our meals were buffet style. I did find enough to eat, and I did not get sick. But I know that's not much to go on.

Here's their website: Open Original Shared Link

Depends on what you're looking for. I grew up in Northern California, and am partial to the Montery area. I lived in Southern California for nine years, and am partial to Pasadena (for central-ness). I'm in Seattle now, and am still exploring, but there area lot of options in the area as well. All areas have plenty of options for eating (I'm thinking Seattle is the best, even over LA, but man the two are close.

I lived in Monterey for 7 years.....it's pure magic, esp. Big Sur. Let me know if you plan to go there, I can recommend places to go and stay, and many many restaurants I think would be safe.

And as tiffany said, Seattle is absolutely wonderful also....and Puget Sound, all those islands.....beautiful.

Not quite CA but I went to Scottsdale, AZ and had the best experience. We stayed at the Phoenician and the food they made me was amazing. Their pastry chef got excited about making gluten-free desserts and made me something different for every meal! I was shocked and didn't even as for all that. They served me 4 star quality food and were absolutely wonderful. I haven't eaten anything like that since and I have traveled to several countries and within the US.

I *LOVE* Monterrey! I'd recommend that area for the beauty. But I live in So. CA. :) I'm not up on the spa thing though.

We live in the Central Valley of California near Fresno, and tend to vacation fairly close to home. (It is too expensive to fly with a family of 5!) Some of our favorite places to go are Yosemite National Park, San Diego, Santa Cruz, Monterey, Pismo Beach, Oxnard (one of our best family trips surprisingly wonderful!), and Lake Tahoe (North Shore is the best).

We tend to stay at places with at least a mini kitchen, and only eat out occasionally. But if you are looking for a Bed & Breakfast that serves gluten free, try Open Original Shared Link you can select gluten free meals as one of your search options and their are 14 B&B's listed in California that serve gluten free meals. I haven't tried any of them, so I can't make any personal recommendations.

A few restaurants that are commonly found around CA that serve gluten-free foods are:

Outback Steakhouse

Mimi's Cafe

In-N-Out Burger

Boston Market

Chili's

P.F. Changs

I would love to know where in Seattle you go - we are planning a trip there (well, my husband has a conference and I'm tagging along) in April. Not sure yet where we will be staying but would love recommendations on eating and if there are any specific areas you recommend visiting.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
