Any of you more experienced gluten free folks want to recommend some restaurants in OC (ideally north OC) that are gluten free friendly?

I'm having some houseguests this weekend and I really don't want to have to cook all the time.

Thanks much!!!

Pei Wei has a gluten free menu. I haven't tried it but I did hear that it's good.

This is a really casual place, but the El Burrito in Seal Beach across from the beach was so great with me in telling me what to eat and they use very little flour in anything, so CC isn't as big of an issue. I've eaten there a few times with no CC problems.

For fast food, In N Out is really accomodating and you can eat their fries. If you tell them you are allergic to the bun and ask that they grill your burger away from the buns they will make sure it's separated for you.

I haven't ventured out all that much yet, so I don't have tons but that's a few places.

There are some place in Long Beach I like on 2nd st which is practically the OC

like Z pizza and Natraj Indian are gluten free friendly

Veggie Grill in Irvine is good

And Disneyland is gluten free friendly, go to the restaurants at the hotels so you don't need to go into Disneyland and I think most will validate your parking (ours was)

Take a look at the following post by Wolicki about a gluten-free restaurant in the Fullerton/Anaheim area: https://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/index.php?showtopic=65566

Rubios is great. Don't eat the chicken or the chips (contaminated fryer and spice blend on chicken). I like their salads with steak, carnitas or blackened fish. Their street tacos are good, as is their salmon tacos.

Chipotle is great. Ask them to change their gloves. Everything is safe except for the flour tortillas.

For a nice restaurant, Mr. Stox is great in Anaheim. No gluten free menu, but gluten free friendly. Also PF Changs in Anaheim Garden Walk, and Outback on Harbor (technically Garden Grove).

I just went to the Original Pancake House in Anaheim this morning expecting to only get scrambled eggs, but they have gluten-free pancakes. It sounds like they have dairy-free, too, since they asked if I wanted milk or soy milk in the batter. They were pretty good -- I had blueberry pancakes and blueberry compote. :)

On Beach Blvd between Katella and Orangewood is a fantastic restaurant named Park Avenue. Fantastic and they speak our language of gluten-free.

At Downtown Disney go to the Storyteller Cafe. The circle in Orange had Cafe Felix.

Felix's has gluten free stuff?? Awesome! I ate there all the time when I was in law school at Chapman. Love their food. What should I look for on the menu there?

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By cristiana · Posted

      I think sometimes the pain described here can be a result of a sort of 'perfect storm' of contributing factors.  Recently I had an appalling bout of lower back pain, lower burning gut pain and what felt like cramps.  I then started to think about what could have caused it and I realised it was several things that had set it off: I'd been carrying heavy luggage (back strain); I had been sitting down in a car for too long and wearing a tight belt (I have pudendal nerve issues and sacroiliac issues and this exacerbates the pain), and I had bloating and burning pain in my colon caused by eating too much soy, latte and caffeine, I guess putting further pressure in the lower abdomen.  I had this same pain prior to my diagnosis and a couple of years post-diagnosis, I'd quite forgotten how unpleasant it was.

      Have this rash forming on the back of my legs. Looking for relief outside of going to the doctor.

      HI @Kirbyqueen That's great news your insurance will be kicking in soon.  Sorry to see that you have been dealing with this for six months now, but I do hope you have managed to find some relief with some of the suggestions in the meantime. Perhaps come back and let us know what the doctor says. Cristiana

      I agree, and hopefully your doctor will contact you soon about the next step, which will likely be an endoscopy to confirm your diagnosis. Do you have celiac disease symptoms?

      By Kirbyqueen · Posted

      Still dealing with this rash on my legs. I've eliminated ringworm (through use of topical ointments). And I also know it's not shingles, as I've never had chickenpox before and I'm still fairly young. Through a lot of online research, I'm leaning more towards dermatitis herpetiformis, eczema, or psoriasis. I've actually got a doctor's appointment in May (finally got some insurance) and I'm going to bring it up then. I'm feeling really hopeful and excited to maybe be getting some relief soon.   Big thanks to everyone for the suggestions and positive thoughts!

      You have three celiac disease specific antibody tests that are positive: Endomysial  Antibody IGA (aka, EMA), tTG-IGA, and tTG_IGG. Furthermore, your Immunoglobulin A at 55 is low, meaning you are IGA deficient. This one is not an antibody test for celaic disease per se but a measure of "total IGA" levels and if low (yours is low) it can suppress the individual antibody scores and even cause false negatives. So, yes, it definitely looks like you have celiac disease.   Do not yet begin a gluten free diet as your physician may refer you to a GI doc for an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining for confirmation of the antibody testing. This may help:
