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.

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

      My only proof

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.
