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

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
