Okaaaay. Um, can anybody recommend which grocery and/or health food stores I can go to to buy gluten-free ingredients?

There are several Whole Food Markets in and around San Jose/Los Gatos, etc. which carry gluten-free stuff as well as their own line of Gluten-Free Bakery items. Also Trader Joe's.

Beehive is a healthfood store near Oakridge mall and they carry Kninnicknick stuff and other gluten-free stuff.

As far as restaurants, I don't eat out at restaurants a lot, but I just ate at Outback this week and my waitress was very knowledgeable about gluten (that was the one at Pruneyard). They have a gluten-free menu.

PF Chang's also has a gluten-free menu, but I have not eaten at any of them. :(

Maggiano's will prepare your dish with gluten-free pasta--not sure if you need to let them know in advance, but I guess it wouldn't hurt. I haven't eaten there either though.

Sorry I couldn't be of much help. :(

I went to a Thai restaurant in San Jose on a street off of Market (either Hedding or 2nd). I'm sorry that I can't remember the name, but there were two Thai restaurants on that street. There was one on the corner of a business building, and they looked totally oblivious when I asked them about gluten, so we left. But then I went to the other Thai restaurant (that had a pergola built within the restaurant), and spoke with the waitress about my intolerances and showed her a restaurant card and they made me a delicious meal from which I had no side effects whatsoever. It's really just hit or miss, but I'd definitely go back to that place in the future.

There is a place called "The Soka Kitchen" Socca? Anyway I don't quite remember, but though it has a limited menu it is completely 100% gluten free, soy free, dairy free, and free of a lot of other things as well. Made while you wait. Great food! Good luck. I imagine the Bay Area is one of the easiest places to find gluten-free food in.

      Yeah, that one is always hard, especially since life seems to revolve around food. That happened to me 2 weeks ago with hibachi and with Hungarian hot dogs. I used to be more picky, but now I would love to try all the things if I could. On the bright side, my husband is absolutely wonderful with it, and his mom often brings a few certified gluten-free things to family get-togethers just for me (and tries to make sure main dishes are safe too). Having the people closest to you be supportive can make a huge difference.

      I hear you. My extended family is very good about factoring in my celiac disease safety needs when making family celebration meal plans but sometimes it breaks down in the spur of the moment decisions to "Oh, let's go out and get some teriyaki" or the like. Especially when my brother in law comes into town 'cause he's pretty particular about what he likes to eat. So, sometimes I just say, "You guys go ahead without me. I'll find some leftovers." But, still, I admit to feeling a little left out at such times and a little like a 5th wheel.

      Same, and I appreciate your comments. I just needed to get it off my chest. Sometimes, even when its a genuine mistake, it can feel all too hurtful and I didn't want to go back to work tomorrow still in my feelings.

      Yes, probably slipped his mind. Grace is in order here is my thought.

      I should have added that, while I dont have access during the meetings, I do as soon as I leave them (same for him) so I would have seen before I even left work. He has my number since we've needed to coordinate by cell a few times for work and other stuff. I usually have a protein bar or two in my desk for emergencies so I could have grabbed one of those and gone to meet them at the right restaurant.  Someone else decided on the change of restaurant and it must have slipped his mind that I wasn't coming back to my desk.
