Ok, so I am asking a question that has been asked I million times. I've seen them. But I've put off organizing too long.

I am 4 days away from a trip to San Francisco(my delayed Honeymoon actually).

I used to live there, so I know the layout very well. Just wondering what good restaurants there are. I will be mostly in San Fran, San Jose, and Santa Cruz. Don't really plan on heading to the east bay, Berkley and so on. I've know of places around the east bay area, but I just don't think we will get out there.

Thanks

I was wondering the same thing because I actually LIVE there! I know there are some great sushi restaraunts in San Francisco that are gluten free, and I know of some "natural" or "vegan" restaraunts in Santa Cruz. But I was wondering the same thing...anyone know of the actual names of restaraunts? Or where we could search for those names (websites)?

Some restaurants that I know of that can make a gluten-free meal, but aren't necessarily gluten-free restaurants are PF Changs, Outback and Maggiano's. I've personally never done the gluten-free menu at any of these however so can't comment on any experiences.

I asked the same question when I moved up here and got nothing. I found pizza in the East Bay, but thats it, other than the obvious ones like PF Changs.

I know they are up here, but finding the info is proving difficult.

Digging through the celiacbayarea yahoo group. None of this is personally confirmed.

Betelnut on Union St. has a brief gluten-free menu.

Willow Glen Aqui has gluten-free items (Aqui Cal-Mex)

Evidently Old Spaghetti factory has gluten-free pasta on hand. (San Jose)

Dosa on Valencia in SF

Santa Cruz - Al Boccalino Restaurant

HTH a little.

Cool, thanks much. I totally forgot about hearing the Old Spaghetti Factory has gluten-free pasta. That will definatly be a stop I'd like. I used to eat at the one downtown San Jose all the time.

I was in San Francisco last year, at the Stanford Celiac Conference. Our food was catered by the San Francisco Soup Company. Their food was yummy!

Obviously... I didn't GO there, so I surely can't tell you where it is - but I can tell you that I was very pleasantly surprised. =)

Cafe gratitude is all gluten free and vegan--you just have make sure that they used only tamari, and no soy sauce in their cooking that day.

They are really into the spirtual stuff--but the food is excellent!

I meant to post this while back found a few nice places. We ended up mostly eating out at more expensive places, that I knew there would be reliable Chef that knows about things.

But I had wonderful great server at The Stinking Rose, I used to love eating there when I used to live there. And was happy they were so accomidating.

Went there 3 times, never had a problem. The staff was excellent, knew exactly what I was talking about. And mentioned the Chef did too. Every single item is cooked in a clean pan each time. As the waiter told me quote "We wouldn't want to server a Filet Minon that had the taste of salmon"

Mashed potatoes are made from real potatoes, plus butter and milk. Food was awesome. But.. it was expensive... though, that in part was due to the bottles of wine...

Also had a nice surprise, my wife wanted to stop by a show where a friend of her's was now working. Its a little health food/vitamin shop. When we got there she said there was a surprise for me, they had a bunch of gluten free cookies. I hadn't heard of them before, it was the store's own brand. But, I felt I could trust it, because her father is the owner of the company, and knows that they are made in a facility that is gluten free. I had a chocolate chip cookie, and then later a big peanut butter cookie. They are the "soft" type cookie. There located in Embarcadero Ctr, 1st floor. Right around where there are lots of tourist things, so if your in town, it will probably be close and a fun treat.

Sunshine Health Food.

Located at:

1 Embarcadero Ctr

San Francisco, CA 94111

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
