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.

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, in Lovely Ballard

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.

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.

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

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.

      @DebJ14, You said "husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation."   I don't think black seed oil is lowering inflammation.  It's lowering blood glucose levels. Black cumin seed lowers blood glucose levels.  There's a connection between high blood glucose levels and Afib.    Has your husband been checked for diabetes?   Must Read: Associations of high-normal blood pressure and impaired fasting glucose with atrial fibrillation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36750354/

      Healthy Omega Three fats.  Olive oil or flaxseed oil, oily fish, fatty cuts of meat.   Our bodies run much better on burning fats as fuel.  Diets based on carbohydrates require an increased amount of thiamine to process the carbs into fuel for the body.  Unfortunately, thiamine mononitrate is used to enrich rice.  Thiamine mononitrate is relatively unusable in the body.  So a high carb diet can further decrease thiamine stores in the body.  Insufficient thiamine in the body causes the body to burn body fat and muscle for fuel, so weight loss and muscle wasting occurs.  Those extra carbohydrates can lead to Candida (often confused with mold toxicity) and SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth).   Losing weight quickly is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  Muscle wasting is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  I lost sixty pounds in a month.   Having difficulty putting weight on and keeping it on is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.   The AIP diet works because it eliminates all grains and grasses, rice, quinoa, all the carbs.  Without the carbs, the Candida and SIBO get starved and die off.  Easy way to change your microbiome is to change what you feed it.  With the rowdy neighbors gone, the intestine can heal and absorb more nutrients.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals is beneficial.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing.  The eight B vitamins are water soluble, so if you don't need them, they can be gotten rid of easily.   Night shades are excluded on the AIP diet.  Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant are not allowed on the AIP diet.  They contain alkaloids that promote "a leaky gut".  Benfotiamine can help here. Sweet potatoes are avoided because they contain thiaminases, chemicals that break thiamine so that the body cannot use it.   The AIP diet has helped me.
