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.

      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/
