Hernandez Hideaway, Escondido Ca

We were on vacation in San Diego recently and had an interesting (and eventually gluten-free) experience at Hernandez' Hideaway in Escondido (by Lake Hodges).

The night we were there the bartender was celiac! Our waitress had him come to our table, he said "to be honest there is very little here you can eat".

What a start, right?

*but* I ate cleanly thanks to his advice!

Eye-openers for me were the beer-marinated meats (now I know to ask other places) and the rice prepped in shared fryers (I would not have guessed).

As the bartender suggested, I ordered a cheese quesadilla with shredded plain chicken on a corn tortilla, not cut up, with beans, guacamole and sour cream on the side (I also used the table's salsa), heated in the microwave (not on their grill). He said he often gets olives on his.

Here's what I learned about their menu:

Safe:

Their salsa - house made and gluten-free

guacamole - house made and gluten-free.

beans - house made and gluten-free

the plain shredded chicken

corn tortillas (are 100% corn)

olives

cheese

likely safe (hm, that's a bit risky)

Their tortilla chips are 100% corn, but the bartender wasn't sure if the oil was always 100% gluten-free (he said he himself eats just a few chips at a time).

not safe

all the meats are seasoned with a marinade that includes beer ( *except the plain shredded chicken)

rice (is fried in a shared fryer as part of prep)

anything sliced (shared knives)

anything fried

enchilada sauce

      I don't have symptoms now. But this DGP IgG is high than normal. I read your article. Very nice by the way. Based on it I don't need to do DGP IgG because I don't have IgA deficiency. I did it first time because those days I didn't know the right procedure for blood tests so I did all. What might you do if you was me? Just keep eating gluten and do tests again after some time? Biopsy is not available in my town. I also read somewhere if a person has NCGS he doesn't have any blood tests high. Very confusing situation.

      What can I do next? Just continue getting gluten from food and do the tests again after some time like 6 months while observing symptoms if any? I read somewhere if a person has NCGS he shouldn't have any blood tests high. So I'm worry.

      Wow she was just playing with play dough yesterday and I actually thought i wonder if I have to worry about play dough! But no meltdowns yesterday. Is your daughter celiac or just gluten sensitive/intolerant? Your son still had to go on Ritalin after going gluten free?

      I had the endoscopy with biopsy done. I have gastritis and duodenitis at this point. The biopsy should provide the cause of the inflammation findings. How common are these findings when Celiac is the ultimate culprit?

      Welcome to the forum @cookiesyum, I lasted on staton for about a month before getting so weak I had to stop.   Switched to Nicotinic Acid and I posted the results in a previous post.  Instead of getting sicker and weaker on the statin I feel I am improving day by day.  Nicotinic Acid was first used for cholesterol in 1955.
