I don't really know of many restaurants on the coast. In Nehalem, Oregon the pizza garden has gluten free pizza. In Seaside, Oregon you can eat some of the breakfast foods at Pig & Pancake. If you are passing through Portland there are lots of places to eat. If you give me some more information, I could try to be a little more helpful. :)

Here are a few links that may help:

San Diego area:

CA Central Coast (Pismo Beach, Santa Maria, San Luis Obispo, etc):

And if you wish to search on any city anywhere in the US:

In California here are a few restaurants which have gluten free menus (if they're a national chain they generally have gluten free menus in other states too):

Johnny Carino's

Pei Wei

P.F. Chang

Old Spaghetti Factory

Outback Steak House

Z Pizza

This list is off the top of my head....there are more, I'm sure. Also, El Torito does not have a gluten free menu, but they've been very accommodating!

Have a nice trip!

I'm sorry I don't have much help to offer... the only gluten-free-menu restaurant I know of is Outback. I ate there Sunday with a friend and really enjoyed not having to worry about it. I also like California Wok. If you google them you can find their locales in L.A. area. They don't have a special menu but will make a lot of their dishes w/simple sauce using just corn starch and no soy. There are myriad terrific ethnic restaurants of all kinds, Cuban, Indian, Thai Brazilian etc. that probably have a lot of gluten-free items, but you still have to be specific with the wait staff.

Have a great time on our left coast! The weather is gorgeous right now, not too hot the past couple days.

      There are other Celiac genes. HLA DQ 2 and HLA DQ 8 show up in people from Northern European descent.   People of Mediterranean descent have HLA DQ 7.  People of Asian descent have HLA DQ 9.   There's other Indigenous populations that have other HLA genes that code for Celiac disease.   Are you still having symptoms?   What do you include in your diet?  Are you vegetarian? Are you taking any prescription medication?  Omeprazole?  Metformin?   Do you have anemia?  Thyroid problems? Are you taking any vitamins or herbal supplements?

      There are eight essential B vitamins.  They are all water soluble.  Any excess of B vitamins is easily excreted by the kidneys.   Thiamine is Vitamin B 1.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Benfotiamine and TTFD are forms of Thiamine that the body can utilize very easily.   The form of Thiamine in the supplements you mentioned is Thiamine Mononitrate, a form that the body does not absorb well and does not utilize well.  Only about thirty percent of the amount on the label is actually absorbed in the small intestine.  Less than that can actually be used by the body.  Manufacturers add thiamine mononitrate to their products because it's cheap and shelf-stable.  Thiamine and other B vitamins break down when exposed to light and heat and over time.  Thiamine Mononitrate is a form that does not break down over time sitting on a shelf waiting for someone to buy them.  What makes Thiamine Mononitrate shelf stable makes it difficult for the body to turn into a useable form.  In fact, it takes more thiamine to turn it into a useable form.   Gastrointestinal Beriberi is a localized shortage of Thiamine in the gastrointestinal tract.  High carbohydrate meals can result in gastrointestinal symptoms of Gastric Beriberi.  Fiber is a type of carbohydrate.  So, high fiber/carbohydrate snacks could trigger Gastric Beriberi.   Since blood tests for Thiamine and other B vitamins are so inaccurate, the World Health Organization recommends trying Thiamine and looking for health improvement because it's safe and nontoxic.

      Thanks very interesting I have to see if I should take these 2 vitamins along with my multi and super Vit B complex or if its too much or would hurt me. I don't have any other health issues but would love to see if this improves anything especially to feel stronger build muscle.
