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?

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      This article does not address migraines at all. Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines...

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems. Everything in moderation. Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Body dysmorphia experience

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self.

With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
