New Restaurant In Tacoma, Wa

So firstly, a disclaimer: my step-dad is the general manager of the restaurant. However, it's because of that there's gluten free food there. So it's not so bad, I think.

Anyway.

Woody's on the Water recently opened in Tacoma, and they're in the process of becoming celiac friendly. Like I said, my step-dad, Thomas, is the general manager, and he's spent enough time eating with and cooking for me that he should be able to help if you go there and have any questions about anything. They have a gluten free menu, full of tasty food like oyster stew and prime rib. The chef and Thomas are both pretty well educated about food issues, and should be able to easily accommodate any other allergies. They're in the process of ordering gluten free beer to stock, they should have that by February. They're going to stock Green's Discovery, which is an amber beer that's really tasty, much more flavorful than the other gluten-free beers i've tried. Finally, they are also going to have gluten free bread starting soon. Besides all that, it's on the waterfront in Tacoma, right next to the glass museum and the marinas. And it's just a generally cool restaurant.

The website is woodystacoma dot com.

Thanks for the tip. We live just north of Tacoma, so we will check it out.

That is really good news. I doubt I will make the trip to eat there as we are north of Seattle but it is still a good thing. It is always good to hear of people making food gluten free friendly.

Sounds like a wonderful place to go. I also want to check out that beer you mentioned as the redbridge is ok, just ok.

The website doesn't say gluten-free, and I notice they serve sandwiches and stuff. So what's the best way to arrange a meal?

I am gluten-free as well as milk and soy free.

Thomas has gluten free menus, though if you go in the next day or two he may have to print them out first. He's going to train the servers on dealing with dietary restrictions, but at the moment I would just ask to talk to him, because he knows what's in absolutely every dish. I'm milk free as well, so he's used to that. I can email you the gluten free menus, if you'd like.

      Trying to read my lab results

      By trents · Posted

      You have three celiac disease specific antibody tests that are positive: Endomysial  Antibody IGA (aka, EMA), tTG-IGA, and tTG_IGG. Furthermore, your Immunoglobulin A at 55 is low, meaning you are IGA deficient. This one is not an antibody test for celaic disease per se but a measure of "total IGA" levels and if low (yours is low) it can suppress the individual antibody scores and even cause false negatives. So, yes, it definitely looks like you have celiac disease.   Do not yet begin a gluten free diet as your physician may refer you to a GI doc for an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining for confirmation of the antibody testing. This may help:

      Trying to read my lab results

      By Bayb · Posted

      Hi, I received my labs via email yesterday and have not heard back from my doctor yet. Can anyone tell me if these results indicate I have Celiac?      Endomysial Antibody IgAPositive  Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA6  H0-3 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 3 - Weak Positive 4 - 10 - Positive >10 - Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten-sensitive enteropathy. FImmunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum55  L87-352 (mg/dL) Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgG183  H0-5 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 5 - Weak Positive 6 - 9 - Positive >9

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      Mine is definitely triggered by inflammation and stress! I do also have arthritis in my spine, but the pain is more in my pelvic area. Im sure i have other food intolerances or other autoimmune isues but the more I focus on it and see doctor after doctor, it just gets worse.  Best thing is get of Gluten! (I also avoid lactose). Try to limit stress and anything that causes inflammation in your body.

      By ButWhatCanIEat · Posted

      Good morning,   I got an email about replies to this post. Some of my doctors had blamed a slipped disc for the pain I had and that contributes, but after meeting with a gastroenterologist AGAIN and trying some lifestyle modifications, I found out I have IBS and can't tolerate corn or excessive fructose to any degree. Cutting out corn AFTER having cut out all gluten containing products was a real pain but I feel much better now!

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.
