Spending The Holiday In Seattle!


eleep

Recommended Posts

eleep Enthusiast

I'm going to be visiting my brother in Seattle from the 18th to the 27th -- I just confirmed my airline reservations.

I'm going to do a search on this board for restaurant recommendations and such, but I was also wondering whether anyone knew of stuff I should just plain do in Seattle while I'm there for the holidays -- I know it's going to be cold, but I'd be particularly interested in anything that might involve _hiking_ and _mountains_. My brother's a big hiker/kayaker and will definitely have some ideas, but I'd love to hear what anyone else has to say.

Yea!!!

Hike the Ho rainforest. Walk the Dungeness Spit. Kayak from Bainbridge to one of the nearby islands.

Go to <www.rei.com> and check their calendar. Sometimes they have some cool stuff (like guided snow shoe trips) around Christmas.

Gluten-free Girl's chef-fiance's restaurant is in Seattle. He makes almost everything safe for people with celiac, so that she can eat there. It's called Impromptu Wine Bar and you can find posts about it on her blog: Open Original Shared Link

I can't vouch for it personally, but the way she talks about the food makes me want to go to Seattle just for dinner!

Check out: www.pacificcoastrestaurants.com for some good grub!

Some very high class restaurants in the NW. Stanford is great, as is the grill, and Newport Bay.

Good luck! Try and stay dry :P

do you subscribe to "living without"...they just had a huge list of gluten-free restaurants (both chain and local, separated by state). you might want to pick it up if you can!

Wow -- this is great, everyone. I'm definitely going to Impromptu and the hiking ideas sound great -- although my brother seems to have his own mysterious plans about what kinds of outdoor activities we'll be doing (all I know is that he asked me to be sure I've packed my rainpants as well as my regular shell)! He's also been talking up some kind of Seattle underground tour...

Edit: Uh -- now that I'm looking at the weather, I realize that those rainpants may just be an everyday precaution! Wow -- looks like the Pacific NW is getting hit hard!

The Underground Tour is great - ask him to sign you up for the 'adults' tour; it's better. :P

Yeah, the weather has been... interesting. Snow the day after Thankgiving, massive rainstorms earlier this month, and the windstorm last night.... 700,000 customers without power, said one of the main power companies around here. (Seattle proper wasn't too bad, but we didn't have power for ~24 hours, and we're one of the ones back on early.) Lots of snow over the pass (got to learn how to put on tire cables today!), and trees down all over the place, including one in our back yard (so now we own a chainsaw!).

I'm sure you'll enjoy it, but I am curious what sort of hiking he's thinking of. I swear I'm going to need snowshoes. (If you have skipants for that sort of thing... Might be good.... :) )

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen1Nc7EtAlJyJbU8EhB89ElCGFPRavEQkTFHv9V2Zh1EMAPRno7UajBpLCQ-1JfC5jKUyzfgsf7jN5L6yfZSgjhnwEbg6KKwWrKeghga8W_CAhEEw9N0.eDBrhYWsjgEFud6ZE03iun0-AEaGfNS1q4ILLjZz7Fs&dib_tag=se&keywords=buckwheat%2Bgroats&qid=1769980587&s=grocery&sprefix=buchwheat%2Bgroats%2Cgrocery%2C249&sr=1-4&th=1 Takes about 10 minutes to cook. Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
