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.

YES, ISN'T IT WONDERFUL

Do you live in New Zeland like your profile says or where do you live Carson City NV?

Hum........befuddled :blink:

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!

      Thanks for the thoughtful reply and links, Wheatwacked. Definitely some food for thought. However, I would point out that your linked articles refer to gliadin in human breast milk, not cow's milk. And although it might seem reasonable to conclude it would work the same way in cows, that is not necessarily the case. Studies seem to indicate otherwise. Studies...

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      I'd be very cautious about accepting these claims without robust evidence. The hypothesis requires a chain of biologically unlikely events: Gluten/gliadin survives the cow's rumen and entire digestive system intact. It is then absorbed whole into the cow's bloodstream. It bypasses the cow's immune system and liver. It is then secreted...

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      I don't know of a connection. Lots of people who don't have celiac disease/gluten issues get shingles.

And although it might seem reasonable to conclude it would work the same way in cows, that is not necessarily the case. Studies seem to indicate otherwise. Studies also indicate the amount of gliadin in human breast milk is miniscule and unlikely to cause reactions:  https://www.glutenfreewatchdog.org/news/gluten-peptides-in-human-breast-milk-implications-for-cows-milk/ I would also point out that Dr. Peter Osborne's doctorate is in chiropractic medicine, though he also has studied and, I believe, holds some sort of certifications in nutritional science. To put it plainly, he is considered by many qualified medical and nutritional professionals to be on the fringe of quackery. But he has a dedicated and rabid following, nonetheless.

      I'd be very cautious about accepting these claims without robust evidence. The hypothesis requires a chain of biologically unlikely events: Gluten/gliadin survives the cow's rumen and entire digestive system intact. It is then absorbed whole into the cow's bloodstream. It bypasses the cow's immune system and liver. It is then secreted, still intact and immunogenic, into the milk. The cow's digestive system is designed to break down proteins, not transfer them whole into milk. This is not a recognized pathway in veterinary science. The provided backup shifts from cow's milk to human breastmilk, which is a classic bait-and-switch. While the transfer of food proteins in human breastmilk is a valid area of study, it doesn't validate the initial claim about commercial dairy. The use of a Dr. Osborne video is a major red flag. His entire platform is based on the idea that all grains are toxic, a view that far exceeds the established science on Celiac Disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and a YouTube video from a known ideological source is not that evidence."

The portion of gluten that passes through to breastmilk is called gliadin. It is the component of gluten that causes celiac disease or gluten intolerance. What are the Effects of Gluten in Breastmilk? Gliaden, a component of gluten which is typically responsible for the intestinal reaction of gluten, DOES pass through breast milk.  This is because gliaden (as one of many food proteins) passes through the lining of your small intestine into your blood. Can gluten transmit through breast milk?

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      I’m 43, just newly diagnosed with a horrible case of shingles last week . They are all over my face , around my eye, ear , all in my scalp. Lymph nodes are a mess. Ear is a mess. My eye is hurting and sensitive. Pain has been a 10/10+ daily. Taking Motrin and Tylenol around the clock. I AM MISERABLE. The pain is unrelenting. I just want to cry.   But Developing shingles has me a bit concerned about my immune system which also has me wondering about celiac and if there’s a connection to celiac / gluten and shingles; particularly since I haven't been 💯 gluten free because of all the confusing test results and doctors advice etc., is there a connection here? I’ve never had shingles and the gluten/ celiac  roller coaster has been ongoing for a while but I’ve had gluten off and on the last year bc of all the confusion
