I trust you guys more than the restaurant-finders online.

Can y'all help me compile a list of places in the Northern Virginia/D.C. area?

From the search I did on this site, I already have:

Legal Seafoods ... Spartan's

Austin Grill ... Maggiano's

Bonefish Grill ... Essential Grille (Rte 7)

Rustico ... Mike's American Grill

Z Pizza ... Silverado

Noodles & Co. ... Carlyle Grand (Shirlington)

Don Pablos ... Coastal Flats

McCormick & Schmick's... Buffalo Wing Factory (dedicated fryer)

WingN ... Ruth's Chris

Clyde's ... Artie's

Blue Iguana(Fair Lakes) ... Sweetwater

Cashions Eat Place ... Bangkok 54 (Columbia Pike)

Jaleo...Oyamel

Zaytinya...Cafe Atlantico

California Tortilla...lilit cafe

The Tombs...Pho 75 (Rosslyn)...Ted's Montana Grill

and obviously there will be the nationwide chains like Outback and Chili's and Olive Garden, etc.

But, out in California, they are all WHOLE GRAIN crazy and so I think the East Coast will have MORE to offer! I'm excited!

I'm in your new part of the country but not close enough to give info. Going by your list, I've been to Maggiano's and Bonefish in our area and I recommend them. I have multiple allergies and Maggianos will go totally off the menu and make whatever I want, within reasons, as long as they have the ingredients on hand. They're well trained. I have been to Don Pablos in our area and I will no longer go there. I had serious problems with product changes and the staff not initially being aware of it until I really grilled the manager and learned more. Plus they make tortillas in the front. I'm just too sensitive and there are too many opportunities for CC IMHO.

pf changs

panera bread

buzz bakery (this is next door to rustico and owned by the same people. their brownie is YUMMY!)

zpizza is decent (they charge an extra $4 for gluten-free and you can only get the small sized pizza...but decent if you're craving pizza)

five guys (no bun obv. and the fries are safe from CC since nothing else is fried)

MOM's organic store on mt vernon ave in alexandria is awesome. they have more and more gluten-free items everytime i go in there.

I don't live in that part of VA, but I'm jealous. DC has TONS of gluten free restaurants. You will also have Whole Foods and Trader Joe's for gluten free grocery shopping.

      This Common Blood Pressure Drug Can Mimic Celiac Disease Symptoms

      Bread has about 8 g of protein per 100 g, so a piece of bread weighing 125 mg contains 10 mg of gluten. Bread has a density of about 0.25 g/ml, so 0.5 ml of bread contains 10 mg of gluten - i.e. a bread ball 1 cm in diameter. I think it would be unlikely to ingest this much from throwing bread out for the birds.

      Sciatica came to mind for me as well. You might want to get some imaging done on your C-spine.

      Maybe this is sciatica? When mine acts up a little, I switch my wallet from one back pocket to the other. this isn't a substitute for more serious medical help, but for me it's a bandaid.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      OK so I just learned something completely new about this for the first time in years, that is REALLY WEIRD. One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the...

One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the hell. I've never seen a direct trigger such as this before that I can recall. The pain was the usual type I get from this problem - I suspect somehow the head movement was interrupting descending inhibition processes, causing the pain to leak through somehow.

      Zaalouk moroccan eggplant salad

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      I've only made this a couple of times but it's really easy and I love the flavor. If you can, use all of the ingredients to get the full palette of flavors. I use fresh or canned tomatoes and I don't worry about peeling them. If you don't have harissa, there are replacement recipes online. If you don't have the greens, I suggest adding a little chopped baby spinach or celery leaves to add a dash of green color to this red dish. Best eaten in first couple days because flavor tends to fade. Leftovers are still good, but not as vibrant. Ingredients 2 medium eggplants, partially peeled and cut into cubes (original recipe says 1 in, but I prefer 1/2 to 3/4 in) 2 tomatoes, peeled and crushed 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped or minced 1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons spicy harissa (I use Mina brand) 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon paprika ½ teaspoon black pepper 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice 1 tablespoon tomato paste (optional) Salt to taste Preparation     • Heat olive oil in skillet or pot over medium heat. Add all ingredients and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cover and cook on low heat for an additional 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.       • Serve warm or cold as a side or with bread for dipping. Enjoy!
