Hi all,

My husband and I are planning a vacation to Carmel/Monterey California. I would like info on positive or negative restaurant experiences.

We are driving from San Fran and hope to have lunch in Santa Cruz (any suggestions?), preferably near the ocean.

In the Carmel/Monterey area we'll be interested in fine/upscale dinning for dinner and cute-cafe-deli-type lunches. My hubby really wants to go to the Hog's Breath Inn (Clint Eastwood's reataurant)... any experiences there?

Thanks!

Pam

Hope this isn't too late. The Passionfish in Pacific Grove, CA is an excellent restaurant. The chef's wife has multiple food allergies so he is completely knowledgeable and will substitute sauces or side dishes to accommodate us. Wonderful fresh fish. Great duck. It's good to be able to enjoy sauces that agree with me. Also a great wheat-free chocolate torte.

There's a restaurant in Monterey... on a pier across from Cannery Row... Crap... can't remember the name... At the front of the pier, closest to the road, there's a Tony Roma's... If I think of the name, I'll post it, but if you see a pier near a Lamborgini store, not too far off the freeway, with a Tony Roma's out at the closest spot to land, the restaurant is down the pier and down some stairs so that it's _right_ on top of the water.

I'm looking for gluten-free in San Francisco so if I hear of anything in that area, I'll let you know. San francisco and the bay area in general tend to be very uinderstanding about special dietary needs so I wouldn't be surprised if you had few problems. Enjoy your visit! I lived in SF for three years and i am so excited to go back. Beverly

      Diagnosis confusion

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I think @trents may be correct here, and you've caught celiac disease in its early stages. A gluten-free diet might be the safest approach.

      Kirkland Quinoa allergen information

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Garlic! This kind of question is always a gray area and the answer must be nuanced. Ideally, every celiac should stay away from any potential source of gluten, however small. But we don't live in an ideal world and sometimes it is appropriate to take risks as long as the risks aren't too large and the consequences not too drastic. Realize these companies work hard at covering their butts against possible litigation so they often err on the side of abundant caution to guard against this. And Costco is a very conscientious organization as well. In reality, cross contamination from shared equipment is usually not a significant threat except to those celiacs on the ultra sensitive end of the spectrum. Do you fit that category? Note, we are talking about cross contamination from using shared equipment, not other sources of CC such as happens in cultivation, transportation and storage. I mention that because some types of products are typically heavily cross contaminated in these other ways. A prime example is dried legumes.

      Kirkland Quinoa allergen information

      By Garlic · Posted

      I recently noticed a “warning” on the back of Kirkland Quinoa packages sold in my area. It says in part: “Allergen Information: Processed on equipment that also packages products that may contain. . . wheat, . . . .” I have been buying my quinoa at Costco for years and I believe it used to have gluten free on the label. I don’t know when this warning first appeared. I’m concerned that I might be getting gluten through this source. Any thoughts, experiences? Do you think a thorough rinsing of the quinoa before cooking would help? Thank you in advance for any advice.

      GliadinX/Tolerase G

      By ShariW · Posted

      I recently traveled to Spain and Portugal. I was with a tour group, they knew I needed to be gluten-free and made sure the kitchens preparing the group meals were aware. But just in case, I took Gliadin-X with me and took it for every evening meal - and most other meals. The one time I got glutened was from lunch early in the trip - had to be from cross-contamination. I had not taken Gliadin-X before that meal, which made for a pretty miserable day. Learned my lesson... 😞
