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!

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
