I love California, but haven't had a lot of luck with the servers/restaurants. It seems that the servers are too lax or just don't understand how serious the problem is when orering. My friends just moved from Long Beach so I have eaten at a few places in town.

-PF Changs is a staple when I visit. They do a good job at this location, you can eat there with confidence.

-Famous Dave's BBQ across the street from PF's. I had a bad experience there and will not return. The server did not understand and brought out my food on a piece of bread.

-Yard House- Had the Tuna app and did not get sick. The waitress at least understood the allergy.

-Wasabi- Ate sushi here and did not get sick either. They seemed to understand as well.

-Lucille's Smokehouse--Had a great experience here! The waitress and kitchen were knowledgeable and accommodating. I ended up having the pulled pork and ribs, but make sure you check on the sauces first. It was over a year ago and I cannot remember which sauce I ordered.

I will be back next month and will definitely hit up Papacicio's. Thanks for the info! Also, let me know of any gluten-free restaurants in the area.

The Newport Rib Company on 2nd street in Naples has a gluten free menu. All the staff is knowledgable with the diet. They also have a dedicated fryer for fries. They have an extensive gluten-free menu from hamburgers to filet mignon.

If you are up for a little drive, there are two other restaurants that are fabulous for gluten-free dieters. One is called Park Ave on Beach Blvd. between Chapman Ave. and Katella north of the 22 FWY. I spoke with the owner/chef and he said to let the server know that we have special needs. He comes out everytime and asks us what our sensitivities are and what we feel like eating. He prepares a meal specifically with you in mind. Everything is made from scratch right there in the restaurant so he can accomodate any food intolerances. They even make homemade ice cream. We have never had a bad meal at this establishment and you really feel special when the chef comes out to make a special meal for you. This place is a nice place for special occasions but casual attire works as well.

The other restaurant is Skosh Monahans in Costa Mesa just off the 55Fwy. You can google the name and find their site which has an extensive gluten-free menu. We eat there at least once a week. The whole staff is schooled in gluten-free diet restrictions and are very friendly. They don't make you feel like you are putting them out by needing special consideration. All you do is ask for the gluten-free menu and you are well taken care of. The food is fabulous, cooked from scratch and we never have been ill when eating there. They also have gluten free beer. It is a sports bar so the attire and atmosphere is casual.

This is wonderful info

I think i know where both of these towns are.

Actually we were near the one in Coast Mesa.............

you are sooooooooooooooooooooooooo :lol: lucky to be eating out once a week

It's been 4 years June 15th that I've been comfortable eating out.

We'll be driving from PA to CA on our move there and that should prove to be interesting ;)

Jim got me a cooler/heater storage unit we can use to travel and it has helped so much.

Thanks i hope this list keeps growing.

We will be moving to Temecula but have family near Long Beach and will going there alot.

Those things are so great--the ones you plug into the cigarette lighter?? We got one of those for our shopping trips to TJ's and WholeFoods, because it is often 100 degrees down in Carson City or Reno and a long whiles until we can get back up to the lake.

Wow, I first saw this post back in Feb 09 and no one had answered so I thought there was a need for a Meetup group for Long Beach and the surrounding area.

Hence, I just started one now that I have just moved to Long Beach and need to know where to dine out.

Long Beach and surrounding community residents and fellow posters at this board are welcome to join free at

Open Original Shared Link

We will get together and test out area restaurants to find places that we can safely eat. Thanks to everyone who has posted here so far as this gives us places to go as a start so that we can build a good list of gluten-free friendly restaurants in LB and OC!

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @sleuth, Has your son been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  All of those symptoms can be caused by malnutrition.  I had severe malnutrition that went unrecognized by my doctors.  Intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, and gastrointestinal distress are symptoms of deficiencies in the eight essential B vitamins, especially Thiamine B1, which becomes low first because the demand is higher when we're sick.     Celiac Disease causes inflammation and damage of the intestinal lining which inhibits absorption of essential nutrients.  Checking for nutritional deficiencies is part of proper follow up care for people with celiac disease.   Is your son taking any vitamin supplements?  Most supplements contain thiamine mononitrate which in not readily absorbed and utilized by the body.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that is shown to promote intestinal healing.  Benfotiamine is available over the counter.  Benfotiamine is safe and nontoxic.   Is your son eating processed gluten-free foods?  Gluten-free processed foods are not required to be enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.   Is your son following a low histamine diet?  Histamine is released as part of the immune response to gluten and other foods high in histamine.  High levels of histamine in the brain can cause anxiety, insomnia, and depression.  The body needs the B vitamins to make the enzyme Diamine Oxidase (DAO) to break down and clear histamine.  DAO supplements are available over the counter.  Vitamin C helps clear histamine as well.  Some people find over the counter antihistamines helpful as well, but they're not for long term use.   Nicotine has antihistamine-like properties, but can also irritate the gut.  Tobacco, from which nicotine is derived, is a nightshade (like tomatoes, potatoes, peppers and eggplant).  Nightshades contain alkaloids which affect gastrointestinal permeability, causing leaky gut syndrome.  Nicotine can cause gastrointestinal irritation and alter for the worse the microbiome. Safer alternatives to Nicotine that have antihistamine properties include Lemon Balm (Sweet Melissa),  Passion Flower, Chamomile, and Bilberry.  They can be taken as supplements, extracts, or tea.  These will help with the anxiety, insomnia and depression in a much safer way. Oolong tea is also helpful.  Oolong tea contains the amino acid L-Theanine which helps the digestive tract heal.  (L -Theanine supplements are available over the counter, if not a tea drinker.)  Tryptophan, a form of Niacin B3, also helps calm digestive symptoms.  Another amino acid, L-Lysine, can help with anxiety and depression.  I've used these for years without problems.   What ways to cope have you tried in the past?

      In general if it is labelled gluten-free then it should be ok for most celiacs, however, those who are super sensitive (which is most who have dermatitis herpetiformis) may want to eat only certified gluten-free items, which are supposed to test down to 10ppm (but don't always!).

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Have faith, you will survive. I get mine from Pipingrock.com.  500 capsules of 10,000 IU for $22.  That is almost two years worth for me.  250 caps 5000 IU for $6.69 if you only take 5,000 a day.  It's like half the price of Walmart.

      Outgrow celiac?

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.
