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.... :) )

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions to it, so different for everyone.

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      Great advise there I agree with the aniexty part, and the aura migraine has I suffer both, I've also read some great books that have helped I'm going too look the one you mentioned up too thankyou for that, I find a camomile tea just a small one and a gentle wind down before bed has helped me too, I suffer from restless leg syndrome and nerve pain hence I don't always sleep well at the best of times , racing mind catches up I have decorated my whole house in one night in my mind before 🤣 diet changes mindset really help , although I have to say it never just disappears, I find once I came to terms with who I am I managed a lot better  , a misconception is for many to change , that means to heal but that's not always the case , understanding and finding your coping mechanisms are vital tools , it's more productive to find that because there is no failure then no pressure to become something else , it's ok to be sad it's ok to not sleep , it's ok to worry , just try to see it has a journey not a task 🤗
