I know that they do not have a specific gluten free menu, but does anyone know of acceptable options off their general menu (or with adjustments)?

I have a lunch date tomorrow and having trouble finding anything online.

Thanks

Did you run across their allergen list in your travels? Open Original Shared Link It's pretty dismal. I wouldn't touch anything there but I think I

Thanks Janet for that post. I did find lots of option that I will take with me. Grilled Vegetable Salad with Shrimp sounds great! :D

I have talked to the manager in the past and he was exceptionally accomodating.

We met friends and family at the Califonia Pizza Kitchen in Eastlake (San Diego) for drinks & dinner tonight. For years (pre-celiac), CPK has been a favorite place for our extended family & friends to meet, and someone tonight suggested we meet there, as they were seen on a gluten free friendly list.

(Open Original Shared Link)

Should have looked them up myself--I could have chosen another place for the group to meet, but we have fond memories meeting there, and food was always great...

When we arrived, we asked the hostess & waitress for a gluten-free menu, or if they could help us select gluten-free menu items. They smiled, but with a blank look. "Sorry, we don't know what gluten is, but we can ask the manager". When the manager came, he was friendly, but wasn't familiar with gluten either. :blink: After explaining concerns with "allergens", he brought us a binder listing possible allergens, but they don't seem to be geared towards serving those with celiac disease. Nothing much to choose from, and no gluten-free pizza or pasta, and no other entrees. I would have ordered an appetizer and a salad with shrimp or grilled chicken, but they weren't familiar with gluten or cc issues.

We had a great time meeting everyone there, but didn't order any food. Just drinks, and enviously watched others enjoy their food. No big deal. We will go elsewhere to meet family and friends. (We are blessed with family/friends who are pretty supportive, and let us choose where to meet) There seem to be many other places in SD that are actually gluten-free friendly (gluten-free informed). ;)

Happy Thanksgiving!

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
