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!

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing...

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that y...

Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.

I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
