Hi Everyone,

I am delighted to join this great forum where everyone is out to help each other.

I travel quite often and being gluten-free is difficult for me. Scheduleing and Bookings take much longer than it used to since I need to do a lot of research on where to buy gluten-free stuff, which hotels, resteraunts cater to my needs,ect.

I hope to be able to obtain helpful information from experienced gluten-free travelers or any member which happens to live close by to the places I'll be visiting.

My next trip is to Los Angeles, CA. Anyone out there familiar with where to shop/eat gluten-free ?

If you like garlic, The Stinking Rose in L.A. was very knowledgeable and took good care of me. I called ahead and talked to a chef, but I got the distinct feeling that if I hadn't done so I still would have been well taken care of.

Disneyland is awesome about taking care of us.

If you want some fast food, In-N-Out is likely your best bet. Just order what you want "protein style" and have them hold the sauce and you're completely safe.

It's late and I'm tired, so I can't think of anything else in this area off-hand, but I'm sure others will join in.

I love to travel, but I rarely eat in restaurants, and I don't eat gluten-free substitutes, so I spend no extra time at all planning my trips.

I LOVE Real Food Daily. There's one in LA and one in Santa Monica. They have gluten-free waffles for brunch on Sunday. If you're also avoiding casein there's a terrific dish called Not-chos, which is made with cashew cheese and tofu sour cream. They have a lot of gluten-free options, and are very knowledgeable. I like their food so much I bought their cookbook :)

in general, celiac restaurant cards can be helpful, you can send them in advance to restaurants if you want to book a table for example so the chef has a bit of time to think about suitable meals.

there're free ones here Open Original Shared Link (basic ones on lots of languages) or you can buy them here Open Original Shared Link (more detailed and like business cards in lots of languages)

there're also websites like Open Original Shared Link and Open Original Shared Link that my be helpful (they are new so don't have so many reviews as yet)

i hope that helps with planning time

      How long does it take to gain weight?

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!
