Heading to Santa cruz to compete in a kayak contest. I'll be there 4 days.

Any restaurant ideas? Any good celiac friendly places?

I suggest you contact Pam Newbury at the Santa Cruz Celiac Support Group, she would know exactly where it is safe to eat.

I have eaten at a few places in Santa Cruz, mostly upper-end steak houses. I highly recommend the Portola House if you like a classy place that serves steak. My kids and I got a great meal there and although they don't say it's gluten free, the meals we got were gluten-free, and no one felt ill afterwards. It is very hard to eat gluten free at the Beach Boardwalk, I don't recommend trying to eat anywhere at the Boardwalk, except for cotton candy and other junk like that. Many of the seafood places on the Wharf were pretty easy to work with too. You would think with a place like Santa Cruz that they would understand gluten-free, but they seem to focus more on vegan/vegetarian/organic...

If you like health food style, they do have some gluten free options at the Staff of Life health food store deli.

Enjoy your stay there, and have fun kayaking! I grew up in Santa Cruz and have family there, I still love visiting! I miss the ocean now that I have spent the past 10+ years inland!

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
