Hi Hacilar - I am from Seattle, WA. Good to know that there are at least two of us in WA that have this problem ;) How long have you been at this and how are you getting along? I've only been "confirmed" since June of this year, so I have some mental adjusting to this to do yet.

We are in South King County just north of Tacoma. There are several from the Evergreen State here. :)

Good 'ol Tri-Cities.

Not much celiac action on this side of the mountain.

As my tag implies, I am indeed a Seattelite in Ballard, WA. Please, please, please contact me with any and all news re: gluten free in this town. The Flying Apron is an abomination in my opinion. Impromptu is wonderful but pricey. PF Changs - good but not for more than once a month. I recently was in Portland and was amazed at the choices available. It's not that I eat out every night, but when we do go out, I want to eat. You had to see the gluten-free menu Red Robin presented to me yesterday. The entire front page was a disclaimer. I left, telling the befuddled waiter that I was going to get sick if I ate in his restaurant. I'd really love to have someone locally who can help me navigate these waters, so message me! I was finally diagnosed in March via a genetic test. I had been sick since childhood, but no-one had ever put all of the pieces together. Hope to hear from you.

Karen - sorry I can't help with the restaurant question. I only eat out at the local health food store deli and Outback (very occasionally). You might want to take a trip to Kent to try out Haley's Corner bakery. I think their stuff is way better than the Flying Apron.

I like the stuff at Flying Apron in Fremont. (The packaged stuff in the store isn't as good, imho. But the fresh stuff, including just going their for lunch, is good.)

There's Open Original Shared Link in the u-district (the soy cheese isn't very good, but the rest of it's fine ;) ).

There's Open Original Shared Link between Fremont and the U-District.

There's DaVinci's bakery (I don't know the neighborhood), which I don't like as much as Flying Apron myself, which mostly demonstrates that you just have to figure out what *you* like, since gluten-free foods can be so different.

There's Sunlight Cafe just west of Ravenna that has a number of options.

I like the sushi options at Rolls & Rolls Sushi Plus in Bellevue.

I haven't been to Cafe Flora, but I hear it's good, if expensive.

There's regularly a few things I get at Thai Ginger, one in Bellevue, Redmond, or Seattle.

There's a Pizza Works in Bothell.

I hear Portage Bay Cafe has gluten-free options as well.

And there's Sunny Valley Wheat Free in Maple Valley, which I haven't been to yet.

Of course, there's often a number of gluten-free options at the Whole Foods hot bar too. ;) (The one in Ravenna is my favorite, the one near REI is good too.)

The stuff at Haley's Corner in Kent is good too.

Z'Tejas has a gluten free menu as well, and I've enjoyed a couple of meals there.

Remember that a lot of places don't necessarily have "gluten free menus" but may still know about gluten and can help you - at least, this can be the case in small places that are picky about their ingredients.

I am newly diagnosed and new to the board of course, :D I live in Mill Creek.

I am only into week three of figuring this all out so any help would be greatly appreciated!

Madame K's in Ballard offers a gluten-free rice tortillia crust pizza and some gluten free pasta. (I haven't been in a long time so you may want to call and confirm they still have it). Garlic Jim's in Mukilteo on Mukilteo Speedway has a gluten free pizza crust. Manna Mills health food store in Montlake Terrace has a huge selection of gluten-free stuff, including rolls, doughnuts, pastas, crackers, cookies, etc.

Hi neighbor! Central Market has a lot of gluten-free stuff. Also Tru Health in Bothell. The owner has celiac. They are very good to special order things if they don't have them in stock.

I like some of the stuff from Flying Apron. And shame on Central Market for no longer carrying their stuff! Daughter liked the triangular scones and the round berry pastries. Also the cupcakes. More recently we went to PCC in Edmonds. I got her some kind of apricot pastry and she liked it all but the apricots on the top. Got 3 other things that were different than what they used to sell at Central Market, but no report back on those yet.

We have ordered birthday cakes from there several times. They are crumbly, but... We do have additional food allergies and they are the only thing that fit our diet. I couldn't make any better myself. I don't normally like or eat cake, but I do like those. We have only ever gotten the chocolate. Once with mint frosting. I think that was a mistake! But it was good.

I have not actually been to the bakery, but my parents have and they brought us back some stuff. A couple of pizzas. I loved them. Daughter hated. Some sort of thing that I thought would be a cookie, but it was thick and hard. Not so good. And a loaf of bread that was like a brick. They have bought the cinnamon rolls and said they were good but very crumbly.

Thank you all so much! This really helps, I am a bit lost.

Hello All,

I live on the Kipsap Peninsula, and have not yet been diagnosed. My mom has had some tests come back positive, and since doing all my follow up work, I am amazed with all the things that could be explained that I have experienced. My local doctors blow! I have had to re-schedule an appt. twice due to thier neglegence. Could anyone recommend a good doctor that I could visit and skip all the back-country practitioners out here in no-man's land? I am sooooo frustrated right now. I have been seen by incompetent doctors starting in 1990! when I was in the Navy. I managed to escape from the Navy with the loss of only one organ! (Appendectomy) Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. My mom did give me the info on the tests I need......... I will rant more if someone out there is interested! no need to bore most of you with the details, just be assured I have been miserable just like many of you.

Thanks in advance

Are you willing to haul your tushy to Seattle? You have the most options in the big city.

G-man Newbie

I would, especially if it means cutting to the chase! I feel like I am wasting alot of my time with the care availible out here. :lol:

      Hello everyone. I am Elena and am 38 years old. I suspect I have a gluten intolerance even if my celiac panel is ok. I have the following symptoms : facial flushing, Red dots not bumps în face, bloating abdominal distension, hair loss, depression anxiety even with meds and even bipolar. Fatigue extreme to the point of not being able to work. All of these after I eat gluten. Could I have non celiac gluten sensitivity? Thanks anyone else with these symptoms?
    • JulieRe
      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:
