Hey Guys!

I'm in the process of planning a trip to the USA - and Anaheim/Los Angeles is one of our week long stays :) I've never been there as a coeliac and am quite worried as to wat to eat and where :(

I was wondering if anyone could give me any hints/pointers of food I can buy & where. And also of any restaurants that are safe in Anaheim and LA (and internet links if any)

Would be MUCH appreciated

Thankyou!

Going out to eat:

Disney is very good about gluten free. Contact Disney and ask if gluten free meals are available in "Downtown Disney". This is outside the park.

Other places with gluten free menus are - Outback, Chick-fil-a, Wendy's and Pei Wei. I have found it best to bring along a print out from the restaurant website of the gluten free options.

The best place to buy groceries is WholeFoods Below is the link to WholeFoods:

If you are arriving at Los Angeles there is a WholeFoods in El Segundo that you can stop by on your way to Anaheim.

If you are arriving at Orange County (SNA) the nearest WholeFoods on the way to Anahiem is in Tustin.

If you go shopping after you get to Anahiem the WholeFoods in Tustin is the nearest. The drive time is 20 to 45 minutes depending on the traffic.

Have a super trip.

Your welcome. If you go to customer service and ask most WholeFoods can print you out a list of gluten free products in the store. I know the Tustin WholeFoods does this because I got the list.

I am not sure about the one in El Segundo. You will have to contact them by e-mail to find out.

I hear there are quite a few gluten-free bakeries popping up in LA. One of them is called The Sensitive Baker, and I think it's in Culver City.

You should definitely go to Whole Foods (basically a health food store the size of a large Woolworths - with a huge gluten-free selection).

It isn't uncommon to be on a "weird" special diet in that part of the world. Most nicer restaurants can cater to anything. PF Changs is always an option as well.

I think www.glutenfreegirl.com has a recent post about gluten-free places in LA.

Downtown Disney is a good idea too. Disney in general is very accommodating to the gluten-free diet. Good luck and have a good trip. :)

I have been to the Sensitive Baker in Culver City. The gluten free baked goods are great. If you go there try the Kaiser Rolls. The website is below:

They are open to the public for very limited hours. I believe it is from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm and are closed on Saturday. If you want to go there I would advise you contact them by e-mail.

FYI, This is north of Los Angeles Airport (LAX) by about 15 to 30 minutes depending on traffic. It is also in the opposite direction of Anahiem.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Is there a digestive enzyme that helps build a healthier gut? I see people taking them but not sure what really works

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      By trents · Posted

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped". Your Serum IGA 01 (aka, "total IGA") at 245 mg/dl is within normal range, indicating you are not IGA deficient. But I also think it would be wise to take your doctor's advice about the sucraid diet and avoiding dairy . . . at least until you experience healing and your gut has had a chance to heal, which can take around two years. After that, you can experiment with adding dairy back in and monitor symptoms. By the way, if you want the protein afforded by dairy but need to avoid casein, you can do so with whey protein powder. Whey is the other major protein in dairy.

      hi, i want to say thank you to you and @trents   . after 2 phone calls to my GI, her office called me back to tell me that a blood test was “unnecessary” and that we should “follow the gold standard” and since my biopsy did not indicate celiac, to follow the no dairy and sucraid diet. i luckily have expendable income and made an appt for the labcorp blood test that day. i just got my results back and it indicates celiac disease i think 😭   im honestly happy bc now i KNOW and i can go gluten free. and i am SO MAD at this doctor for dismissing me for a simple blood test that wouldn’t have cost her anything !!!!!!!!!!! im sorry, im so emotional right now, i have been sick my whole life and never knew why, i feel so much better already   my results from labcorp:   Celiac Ab tTG TIgA w/Rflx Test Current Result and Flag Previous Result and Date Units Reference Interval t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 01 28 High U/mL 0-3 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. Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 01 245 mg/dL 87-352

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      By Samanthaeileen1 · Posted

      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong.   yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.
