My husband and I are driving from San Diego to Napa at the end of the month. Does anyone have any gluten-free restaurants recommendations along the route for me?

Sorry, I wasn't gluten-free when I lived out there, I just wanted to say, enjoy the drive, it's beautiful!! I took the train from San Diego to Orange County. It was one of the prettiest trips I've ever been on!

ohhhhhhhhhhhh.....lucky you! We have an ancient family cabin near Big Sur, and also I lived in Monterey for seven years, so drove from there to the Sur all the time..........I miss it so much! :(

In the Big Sur/Carmel/Monterey area, you can find many places. Just let me know if you plan to stop there and what you'd like to do. I strongly recommend that you go to Ventana (Big Sur) which is paradise here on this very earth, and sit on the patio on a sunny day. The view is unbelievable. Even if you don't eat, at least stop for a beverage. I think they'd easily be able to accommodate a gluten-free diet, however. Also, a little tiny place called Big Sur Bakery is a fabulous locals' spot - - name's misleading, it's a cozy bistro with a fireplace - wonderful, organic and healthy food - I'm quite sure they could accommodate there as well.

I have tons of suggestions for the area but those are two to get you started. :)

oh, in Half Moon Bay - - stop at the Ritz Carlton - I've never actually been but have friends who have - it's fabulous, I hear.

After visiting with my sister in Carlsbad we are staying in Morro Bay one night, Carmel one night, two nights up in Napa and one in SF. I am excited, but of course weary of the gluten-free diet while on the road. I just got glutened at PF Changs this weekend and they have a gluten free menu! Part of me wants to exist on power bars and bottled water all week :unsure: We want to do a little shopping (of course) but we both have 35mm digital cameras and are looking forward to putting them to some good use, so scenic stops are most important to us. Any suggestions are welcome and appreciated!

Hi!

Lucky you :)

I live off highway one in San Luis Obispo, I go to Cal Poly. It is absolutely a gorgeous area, I will be sad when I graduate! I'm studying abroad in London right now and I was only diagnosed in June so I was really only in SLO for a few months with celiac but I still have a few suggestions....

I belong to a group called Central Coast Celiacs here is the website:

Open Original Shared Link It is a new website so it isn't very detailed but it does list a few restaurants.

The best place I can recommend for you to reload on snacks (perfect because its 1/2 way up the coast) is a great healthy/gourmet grocery store called New Frontiers. They have everything you could imagine gluten-free and a gluten-free section! They are located in a shopping center literally on highway one so it is very accessible. I don't believe they have a website but here is their information:

Phone (805) 785-0194

Fax (805) 785-0837 Address 896 E Foothill Blvd # 896c

San Luis Obispo, CA 93405

If you are looking for a casual lunch place in SLO try "The Natural Cafe," it is a cute organic/healthy cafe that has items that are gluten free- just explain to them, they are very sweet. Last time i was there I got vegetable and bean soft tacos with corn tortillas, chips and salsa.

Also I have had an Omelet without getting sick at The Apple Farm restaurant. They are known for their breakfasts (muffins and baked goods) - not that you can eat them but it might be a good way to bribe your husband into taking you :)

Like I said I didn't live in SLO very long with celiac so that

Below is the link to the restaurant page of the San Diego Celiac Group. It only lists the San Diego addresses. Since many of them are chains you can check the restaruants website for other locations outside San Diego. There is also a link called "On the way to LA".

Open Original Shared Link

Have a nice trip. The views are spectacular from Hwy 1.

Wow, thanks for all the great info CurlyBurly! I'll just copy and paste your post and stick it my folder. Everyone keeps saying we should stop in San Luis Obispo. We have so many stops we'd like to make I know we're going to wish we had more time. I have decided not to over pack the snacks and buy some while out there too, so I will defintely stop at New Frontiers. I haven't had pumpkin pie in years :( I keep thinking I'll bake myself onebut I host Thanksgiving and I'm too pooped cooking that I never have the energy to any special gluten-free things for myself. I also miss stuffing! Oh well...

If you need a good restaurant in Carlsbad, everything at Cilantro Live is gluten-free.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I take both Benfotiamine and TTFD. You might want to start with the Benfotiamine for a few days and then add in the TTFD. You can look for NeuroMag (Magnesium Threonate). A magnesium glycinate is fine, too. Doctor's Best is a good brand. Don't take more than 300mg total per day of magnesium or it may have a laxative effect. Be sure...

      Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine has 100MG of Ben and 25 of Thia..... Do you think this is the one I should take or Objective Nutrients Thiamax (TTFD) which has 100MG Thiamine. How much magnesium should I look for? I take the womens 50+ multivitamin since consumerlabs stated and tested that it has the right amount of vitamins and not too much for...

      Glutened

      Hi all I’ve been celiac for 4 years now, I’ve done pretty well to avoid it thus far. Last night I took the wrong pizza out of the freezer and ate the whole lot!! The non gluten and gluten pizza boxes are both very similar. 2 hours later I was throwing up violently on my hands and knees over the loo. .horrendous stomach pains, My hair was wet fro...

      Yes, do take your B Complex with Benfotiamine or Thiamax. Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the B Complex to make energy and enzymes, so best to take them together earlier in your day. Taking them too close to bedtime can keep you too energetic to go to sleep. The Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine is Benfotiamine and...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I looked further into Thiamax Vitamin B1 by objective nutrients and read all the great reviews. I think I will give this a try. I noticed only possible side affect is possibly the first week so body adjusts. Life Extensions carries Benfotiamine with Thiamine and the mega one you mentioned. Not sure if both in one is better or seperate. some reviews state...

How much magnesium should I look for? I take the womens 50+ multivitamin since consumerlabs stated and tested that it has the right amount of vitamins and not too much for men and doesn't have BHT which has shown to cause liver cancer in animals. I was never big with multivitamins as well as doctors I just read when I was first going gluten free to take a multi but I think I will stop them and work on trying the super B Thia and Ben, Mag.

      Hi all I’ve been celiac for 4 years now, I’ve done pretty well to avoid it thus far. Last night I took the wrong pizza out of the freezer and ate the whole lot!! The non gluten and gluten pizza boxes are both very similar.   2 hours later I was throwing up violently on my hands and knees over the loo.  .horrendous stomach pains,  My hair was wet from sweat every part of my body was wet. What an awful experience, just had a bad headache today  fortunately.    Is their any products/pills anyone takes if they have realised they have just been glutened to make the symptoms a little less worse.  thanks

      Yes, do take your B Complex with Benfotiamine or Thiamax.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the B Complex to make energy and enzymes, so best to take them together earlier in your day.  Taking them too close to bedtime can keep you too energetic to go to sleep.   The Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine is Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride, another form of thiamine the body likes.  The Thiamine HCl just helps the Benfotiamine work better.   Read the label for how many milligrams are in them.  The Mega Benfotiamine is 250 mgs.  Another Benfothiamine has 100 mgs.  You might want to start with the 100 mg.    I like to take Thiamax in the morning with a B Complex at breakfast.  I take the Benfotiamine with another meal.  You can take your multivitamin with Benfotiamine at lunch.   Add a magnesium supplement, too.  Thiamine needs magnesium to make some important enzymes.  Life Extension makes Neuro-Mag, Magnesium Threonate, which is really beneficial.  (Don't take Magnesium Oxide.  It's not absorbed well, instead it pulls water into the digestive tract and is used to relieve constipation.)  I'm not a big fan of multivitamins because they don't always dissolve well in our intestines, and give people a false sense of security.  (There's videos on how to test how well your multivitamin dissolves.).  Multivitamins don't prevent deficiencies and aren't strong enough to correct deficiencies.   I'm happy you are trying Thiamax and Benfotiamine!  Keep us posted on your progress!  I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.

Not sure if both in one is better or seperate. some reviews state a laxative affect as side affect. SHould I take with my super B complex or just these 2 and multivitamin? I will do further research but I appreciate the wonderful explanation you provided on Thiamine.
