gluten-free In Portland, Oregon

Hiya

I wanted to relate some recent experiences...

Just went to Picazzo's in Sellwood for my birthday - to die for!!! Holy cow, have I missed pizza, with yummy melty cheeeeeeeese. My BF said he thought my gluten-free crust was better than his wheated one. Ha! I asked our waiter to marry me, and he said no. :( So for all you single gals out there, there's a single waiter who understands your gluten-free concerns, still available.

Also went to Lingonberries in Vancouver for the first time, and was pretty jazzed by all their gluten-free stuff. Please patronize them, they're a tiny store in an ugly strip mall, and could probably use your business. Lots of fun freezer things - cookies, and scones, and more.

Also, last month my BF and I went to Vindalho, an upscale Indian restaurant on SE Clinton and 21st. They do interesting things with lots of alternative flours, and assured us that many of the appetizers (including the onion rings) and the entrees were gluten-free. We'd just gotten back from central Wisconsin and were starved for a good meal - I was bummed out beyond belief to be really sick within about 30 minutes of eating those onion rings. I suspect that CC was to blame... I wrote a long email and never heard back from them, so they're off our list, and the recipients of some bad karma.

Enjoy!

Do they have gluten-free pizza with dairy free cheese too? They sound wonderful. Thanks for the info.

Have you found A Piece of Cake bakery on 17th, just south of Tacoma? They have gluten free stuff--expensive, but nice for an occasional treat if you are in the neighborhood. And the Corbett Fish House has gluten free food.

I agree. I love those places! Ever since we found LingonBerries I have never had to order anything online again. They have great products. Picazzo's is also great. We are regulars there and my son has never gotten sick. The staff is also very friendly.

Where is this piece of cake place? If you are talking about the city of Tacoma 17th is in Tacoma and will be looking for it.

Thanks, gluten-free Avenger! The pizza sounds wonderful - I'll have to go soon. I visited Lingonberries Market a couple of weeks ago. TONS of stuff. They seem to carry everything! It's about 30-40 minutes from my house, but worth the drive. I will be back.

They are heavy on the bean four though, if you don't mind the taste...I'm not a fan.

Tacoma is a street in/near Sellwood, OR (basically Portland)

Hello again!

Picazzo's had an extensive list of possible ingredients, if you wanted to build your own pizza. My BF is cow-dairy free, and had chevre on his pizza. Their full menu is available on their website...

I don't see any dairy-free cheese, sorry, Frec.

It's been quite a while, but the last time I was at Piece of Cake they were selling a spelt cake as wheat-free ARGH! Is that no longer the case?

We tried the piece of cake bakery and my son got sick (and he didn't eat much because he didn't really like it). They have ONE kitchen that they use to bake wheat and gluten free products. They only address cross contamination by using different colored bowls and different shaped baking pans. Needless to say we never went back!

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
