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

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
