Hi everyone. I was just diagnosed on 5/31 and have been planning a trip to San Diego. Is there anyone out there who knows of any gluten-free restaurants in that area? Thanks in advance! ;)

I am also planning a trip to San Diego this month. I believe that there is a PF Changs in town, and also an Outback Steakhouse. I have heard that both of these have gluter-free menus available. I'm hoping to find some places that have good, fresh seafood, that will be gluten free.

I hope you have a great time on your trip!

I have had luck at Cilantros Live (in Hillcrest, Chula Vista and Carlsbad), Le Bambou (in Del Mar), Apertivo (in North Park)....hmmm if you tell me which area you'll be in I might be able to narrow it down more. There's plenty of Mexican food, seafood and good health food/grocery stores (Whole Foods, Henry's, Trader Joes, OB People's Co-op, Jimbos). There's also a thread (maybe a couple) that list many more restaruants.

www.glutenfreeinsd.com might help as well. :)

Yes, that is right about the PF Chang's and Outback...And as luck would have it, I got in the mail today my copy of The Essential Gluten-Free Restaurant Guide and there are several others listed for San Diego:Andre's Restaurant, Buca Di Beppo, Claim Jumper, Corvette Diner, Flemings Steakhouse, Mimi's Cafe, Napa Valley Grille, Roy's, Ruth's Chris Steakhouse and Uno Chicago Grill. Many of them say that they don't have a gluten-free menu but say to either make reservations noting gluten-free and to remind the server upon arrival. If you are interested in knowing specific addresses, now that I have this book, I can let you know. I hope you have a great trip too!!!

I am not too familiar with the San Diego area but I can tell you that we are at the Hilton on Mission Bay. Does that help at all? Thanks for the tips about the Mexican food and the health food stores in the area. I will keep that in mind. Also, thanks for the link to gluten-free in SD and for your suggestions of restaurants where you have had some luck. Since I am recently diagnosed (just last week), this really helps me!

I am also on my way to San Diego in about a week. We are staying in Del Mar. So any other suggestions for the Del Mar area would be great. We will be spending quite a bit of time at the fair and I am at a loss as to how to be at the fair and what to eat. I understand that Jimbo's will can make gluten free sandwiches. So I thought of going there to get some food to take with me to the fair. But I would love suggestions for where to eat in the evenings. My favorite place is the Japanese Cafe. I am hoping they can make me some gluten free sushi. I have soy sauce I am taking with me in packets.

      You might consider asking for a referral to a RD (Registered Dietician) to help with food choices and planning a diet. Even apart from any gluten issues, you will likely find there are some foods you need to avoid because of the shorter bowel but you may also find that your system may make adjustments over time and that symptoms may improve.

      I wish Dr’s would have these discussions with their patients. So frustrating but will continue to do research. Absolutely love this website. I will post any updates on my testing and results. Thank you

      Small Bowel Resection 12 inches

      Losing 12" of your small bowel is going to present challenges for you in nutritional uptake because you are losing a significant amount of nutritional absorption surface area. You will need to focus on consuming foods that are nutritionally dense and also probably look at some good supplements. If indeed you are having issues with gluten you will need to...

      Small Bowel Resection 12 inches

      There are two gluten-related disorders that share many of the same symptoms but differ in nature from each other. One is known as celiac disease or "gluten intolerance". By nature, it is an autoimmune disorder, meaning the ingestion of gluten triggers the body to attack it's own tissues, specifically the lining of the small bowel. This attack causes...

      Losing 12" of your small bowel is going to present challenges for you in nutritional uptake because you are losing a significant amount of nutritional absorption surface area. You will need to focus on consuming foods that are nutritionally dense and also probably look at some good supplements. If indeed you are having issues with gluten you will need to educate yourself as to how gluten is hidden in the food supply. There's more to it than just avoiding the major sources of gluten like bread and pasta. It is hidden in so many things you would never expect to find it in like canned tomato soup and soy sauce just to name a few. It can be in pills and medications.  Also, your "yellow diarrhea, constipation and bloating" though these are classic signs of a gluten disorder, could also be related to the post surgical shorter length of your small bowel causing incomplete processing/digestion of food.

      There are two gluten-related disorders that share many of the same symptoms but differ in nature from each other. One is known as celiac disease or "gluten intolerance". By nature, it is an autoimmune disorder, meaning the ingestion of gluten triggers the body to attack it's own tissues, specifically the lining of the small bowel. This attack causes inflammation and produces antibodies that can be detected in the blood by specific tests like the TTG-IGA test you had. Over time, if gluten is not withheld, this inflammation can cause severe damage to the lining of the small bowel and even result in nutrient deficiency related health issues since the small bowel lining is organ where all the nutrition found in our food is absorbed.  The other is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just "gluten sensitivity") which we know less about and are unsure of the exact mechanism of action. It is not an autoimmune disorder and unlike celiac disease it does not damage the lining of the small bowel, though, like celiac disease, it can cause GI distress and it can also do other kinds of damage to the body. It is thought to be more common than celiac disease. Currently, we cannot test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out to arrive at a diagnosis of NCGS. Both disorders require elimination of gluten from the diet.  Either of these disorders can find their onset at any stage of life. We know that celiac disease has a genetic component but the genes are inactive until awakened by some stress event. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% develop active celiac disease. The incidence of NCGS is thought to be considerably higher. I hope this helps.
