Celiacs In Seattle

Hi, I'm new to this whole celiac business. I was recently diagnosed. I was curious if there were any more people like me in the seattle area (west seattle perhaps).

We do have a number of members in Seattle. (I happen to be on the east side.)

Seattle's a pretty gluten-free-friendly place.

Welcome :)

I spend time in Seattle frequently during the two months of the year I am in the USA; my official address is in Lakewood.

I'll be staying in Kirkland for awhile very soon, can anyone tell me where to go for gluten-free items, and also which restaurants (preferably not the most expensive please)?

Thanks much!

Yes there are a few of us around here. Since you are new, I thought I would tell you about a store in Montlake Terrace (just North of Seattle). Most of the stuff they carry is gluten free. I make a trip there about once a month. They carry doughnuts, noodles, cookies, pizza crusts, etc. They are a bit spendy, but it's nice to know you have options for gluten free food.

I wish I would have known about this place when I lived in Seattle, but I guess its a little late now, since I am across the country.

Hi,

I'm not from Seattle but I'll be traveling there for a conference in May and could really use some suggestions on where I can get safe food. I doubt my hotel will have much... I'm staying at the Westin Seattle, 1900 5th Avenue so close to that would be preferable but any options are good. Thank you!

Most of the better restaraunts are good with gluten-free. There's also a Red Robin on the waterfront, and the cafe at the Elliot Bay bookstores sells gluten-free baked goods.

I'm definitely bookmarking this thread as I grew up in the Seattle area (Des Moines) and have been known to go "home" once in a while! :P

Welcome, gluten free guy! I'm in U-District.

Some of my favorite places:

Chaco Canyon Cafe (they specialize in raw food, but they have cooked food too. Always various gluten-free options. If you sign up for their e-newsletter you get announcements about their seasonal "special" dinners, which are pre-fixe course menus which are often mostly gluten-free, from appetizer to dessert.)

Flying Apron Bakery (now they got a bigger place in Fremont, lunches and salads available! Yum)

Cafe Flora (seriously good vegetarian food that doesn't seem vegetarian; they always have gluten-free options)

And last but not least, Impromptu Art & Wine Bar in Madison Park, where Daniel, "gluten free girl" Shauna's husband is the exec chef. They don't say on the menu, but pretty much everything he cooks there is gluten-free! GREAT food and wine. You can see their passion for good food from Shauna's blog, glutenfreegirl.com. The food at the restaurant is awesome.

For MN_Newbie, right across the street from Westin is Westlake Center (a mall), and in there, there is P.F. Chang's, which has a pretty good gluten-free menu. And in an earlier thread, there was a list of restaurants distributed at a GIG meeting:

Open Original Shared Link

I've been to Da Vinci's too, and that's a good place to go if you're craving for a sandwich or a carrot cake ;-)

Good luck!

Whole Foods market at 2210 Westlake Ave is pretty close to there, they have a lot of gluten-free stuff, the fresh bakery items are pretty good, a good variety, etc.

Hope that helps

I found out last week that I have to be gluten free and know that I am in a good city for this, but don't know all of the hot spots yet. What is the name of the place in Montlake Terrace?

Thanks for your help! :D

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      Welcome to the forum. Is the nausea associated with eating certain foods, or anything else in particular?  Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months.

      Absolutely my point with Kerrigan, the owner. She stood to secure many years of faithful patronage by simply inviting us in for a pastry or lunch. Or by simply producing another $50 e-card based on trust. We would have been highly satisfied. We are limited to a few restaurants in the area, and that would have been one. It was very disappointing, esp to my wife, to realize we can't patronize the place anymore.
