So, Weird Fish on 18th and Mission has a soy based batter and dedicated fryers. I know I'm excited, since Fish and Chips is something I've bemoaned the loss of. Had to share the news :)

I've bemoaned the loss of just about anything breaded and fried. My favorite was fish and chips in Tobago where they used flying fish. Absolutely delicious.

I'm too late for Weird Fish though. Soy is on my prohibited list now.

Ugh! I was sooo excited after I saw your post that I hunted down this restaurant with some friends last night. Unfortunately, I learned that they have dedicated fryers, but the dedication is between vegetarian foods and non-veggie foods. They have two different batters for the fish - one beer-battered, and one soy-based - but they fry them in the same fryers. I did manage to find something else to eat (cornmeal crusted trout and green beans, cooked in a skillet), but it just wasn't the same! Sorry to break the news, but didn't want you to go out of your way to try this place (not sure where you live, Elonwy).

Whoops, forgot I had posted this on this board as well. Yeah, about a week and a half after I posted this, they changed chefs, who changed the way the fryers were segregated. So it WAS gluten-free, but is no longer. Very sad.

I'm in the East Bay, and made a special trip as well, but missed the window by about two days. I had Celiac friends who ate their before the change, they are upset as well.

I don't eat fried things because oils and butters make me really sick, but for some reason this post made me really happy. LoL. Probably because I rarely see any restaraunts here in the bay area talk about having "gluten free" things. Does anyone know of anymore bay area restaraunts that do? Any chains? Any healthy restaraunts around here? ANYTHING? lol...I just haven't eaten out in, well, probably 2 years.

Cafe Rustica in Oakland has gluten free pizza ;) You should call ahead to make sure they have the dough in stock. Thats the only one other than PF Changs and Outback that I know of specifically, but I'm new to the area. I'll let you know if I find anything else.

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
