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

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
