I'd love to know about Happy Underground Sushi. I know sometimes the sushi rice is or is not safe based on the type of vinegar used. Could you please share any ordering tips and what's your favorite on the menu? Thanks

You mustn't forget these:

Cafe Mariposa (Oakland) gluten-free Bakery. -frozen pizzas to take home, bagels, breads, delicious! (Sneak in the wine store next door for gluten-free beer)

Bobby G's Pizzaria (On University in Berkeley)- gluten-free pizza with Still Ridin' Crusts, has a much better take on what's gluten-free in their toppings and CC than Rustica does*

SF Soup Company (All over) Designates gluten-free,DF, etc on the menu, knowledgable staff.

Zadin (Castro) - gluten-free menu, amazing vietnamese food, great wait staff.

Amici's pizza in Dublin and San Jose (not the one in the city yet, but I keep pestering them :P) has gluten-free pizza with dedicated prep and cook areas. Really delicious (Still Riding Crusts) The Fried eggplant and the meatball are the only toppings not gluten-free.

Cafe Gratitude does have a couple things that have gluten, they tried to go completely gluten-free and couldn't quite manage it, but they are all very aware of what's going on.

*I really used to love Rustica, but the wait staff there has changed, no one can give me a clear answer on which toppings are gluten-free, and I don't think they are as good with CC as they used to be, I've gotten sick there the last few times I went.

Don't forget Dosa on Valencia and 21st in SF. They have a whole chart of allergens for each dish on the menu, and they update it as the specials change. I love this place.

I asked them about contamination. They do use the same giant grill, but it's big enough that they can cook the wheat dosas on one side. There are only about 3 things (wheat dosas) on the entire menu that contain wheat anyway.

I've also had really good luck with Taste and Sauce, both on Gough St. in Hayes Valley. They are nicer restaurants. I emailed ahead, and they were very knowledgeable about everything.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      My only proof

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.

      Anyone experimented with Taurine supplementation either via electrolyte powders or otherwise? Thanks
