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?

That would be so great if Felix has some gluten free. I LOVE their food :D

      The previous post did not come through right. I wonder if tingling burning feet are part of it.. I'm not sure if it's the med reaction that people with gluten intolerance get or the food we ate  It's frustrating because a person who did not want to admit to himself I had this condition wanted me to eat this chicken sandwich and now I'm stuck with a variety of symptoms plus now I'm hungry on top of it..  I'm new to this so I forget that "one bite" of the wrong thing can hurt us.😔. Do we stop eating if someone exposed us to gluten ??  My stomach is rumbling but my joints hurt ...  It's weird because I can feel the anxiety coming on.  I get joint problems ,  I don't know if anyone ever got hot flashes?? I suppose if it affects people head to toes you can get that too.   It's weird...hard to decipher what is what.   Also how long do I have to deal with this attack??  Makes me feel like not getting up out of bed.  I get too many symptoms which  horrible.  Thank you for your response..

      as my last post stated, i was diagnosed via endoscopy on the 14th of june. i have been eating amazing home cooked meals, luckily, mainly cooked by my boyfriend who is extremely careful about contamination (and is an incredible cook at that). however, i find myself in a mental rut still. being 18, this is the time in my life where i should be exploring things, going out, having fun. yet every corner i turn i'm tortured by the amazing smell of something i can't have anymore. the wonderful sight of such yummy foods. it's near torture. if my boyfriend and his friend who lives with us buy something i can't have, they'll usually eat it outside of the house or the car or wherever we are - which is greatly appreciated - but even seeing a burger or chips or a sausage roll in their hands guts me almost beyond repair. i just wanna have it again too. i miss it. i feel left out and it makes me very sad all the time. it's not their fault. they are allowed to eat whatever they want to, whatever their intestines will allow. it just stings, bad. and i feel so ungrateful given i basically have a private chef who is doubly the love of my life. but it's just so hard. i know i'll adapt. i haven't given up hope.i just wanted to vent. thank you for reading

      Thank you. I must have misinterpreted a study or something. Thank you for the clarification. Much appreciated. Almost three years into my celiac diagnosis and I'm still learning new things.

      I wasn’t clear, glucagon and gadolinium were intravenous. I drank about 5 cups of the prep during 45 minutes. I feel very tired now, probably partly because I was nervous, and partly because I had to fast for 6 hours beforehand and wasn’t very hungry when I got home.
