Last PDX thread was back in 2008 so I figured it's time for a new "Where do you eat in Portland" thread. I'm probably not the best person to start this off since I just transplanted here 2 months ago but that certainly makes me hungry for more ideas.

So far what I've experienced:

Corbett's Fish House/Hawthorne Fish House

Both good places, nice fried fish and tasty sides. Probably going to eat there tomorrow cause of thinking about it now.

Abby's Table

Only open once a week on wednesdays, family style eating with pleasant conversation amongst friendly strangers. Food is gluten-free/dairy-free and vegan options are always available. Food was well prepared, atmosphere was fantastic and the price was super affordable.

Corbett Coffee Plant

Small coffee house with a small selection of gluten-free baked goods. Decent in taste, ok in texture.

New Cascadia Traditional Bakery

Very nice wide selection of baked goods plus some lunch offerings of sandwiches and pizza on gluten-free bread/dough. The bagels are not lye treated so I'm not really a fan but they can do in a pinch. The cupcakes are deliciously sweet and the brownies are decadently rich. They have some new marionberry muffins that I tried yesterday and they are ridiculously tasty, if they have these when you go there, buy the lot.

I know there's a plethora of stuff out here available to us but haven't gotten around to seeking it out yet. What's everyone else's recommendations?

LOVE Corbette's fish house! Also ate at outbacks, the staff was pretty knowledgeable but I wouldn't touch the gluten-free brownies they offered for dessert because I asked the girl and she said there was no flour IN the brownies but the pans were dusted. A plain steak and potato was fine though.

Finally ate at a Whole Bowl last week. Great little deal on a simple meal and turns out it's gluten free!

While I'm at it, does anyone in town know of a good place to buy fresh/frozen seaweed? Been trying to find some non-soaked-in-soysauce seaweed and no place I've gone to has it, couldn't even find it at Fubon.

Andina's in the Pearl District. Spendy but worth every penny!!

PF Chang's in the Pearl bends over backwards for us whenever we go

Deschutes Brew Pub has a gluten-free menu that's pretty good

Open Original Shared Link

BJ's at Jantzen Beach is great, pizza is great

Claim Jumpers in Clackamas was fabulous

PSU Saturday Market-you'll find a ton of stuff there

There's a few more that I'm forgetting. I'll think about it and repost

Beaches in Vancouver on the waterfront. Pretty good sized menu. I like the food

Blossoming Lotus Cafe-vegan, gluten-free, and raw options. Spendy, food's pretty good, service is obscenely slow

Old Spaghetti Factory--my kids like it

Old Wives' Tales-I've not been there but a lot of my friends have and really like it

Red Robin by the airport-fabulous with us every time, never had cc there

There are many more options I've never tried listed at this website:

Portland is my favorite city!! There are so many gluten-free offerings and all restaurants seem so gluten aware! Last year I went w/ my daughter to a Mexican place and asked the owner if everything was gluten-free. He took me to the prep area and showed me the ONE thing to avoid... some meat thing.

The Whole Bowl is my fave!! I've just discovered a copycat recipe for the super-secret Tali Sauce and have been enjoying Whole Bowls at home (hold the cilantro, please!).

I'll find out the name of the place my other daughter took me ... where we had delicious shrimp tacos and an amazing roasted beet salad w/ candied pecans and beer in the bottle!! I could have gone there every day!!

Has anyone tried one of the Ethiopian restaurants or creperies? A number of them claim to have gluten-free injera and crepes, respectively, but I can't figure out if any of them manage to be celiac-safe.

      Your high lactulose test, indicating out of control Small Itenstinal Bacterial O,vergrowth is one symptom.  You likely have low vitamin D, another symptom.  Unless you get lots of sun.   Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption, often leading to subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  A lot of people have these symptoms just before an acute phase of Celiac Disease.  Each of the symptoms can have multiple causes that are not celiac disease,  but when you start having multiple symptoms,  and each symptom is treated as a separate disease,  you have to think, maybe these are all one cause. celiac disease. There is a misconception that Celiac Disease is  a gastrointestinal disease and symptoms are only gastro related.  Wrong.  It is an autoimmune disease and has many symptoms that usually are disregarded.  I made that mistake until 63 y.o.  It can cause a dermatitis herpetiformis rash,  white spots on the brain.  It caused my alcoholism, arthritis, congested sineses, protein spots on my contacts lenses, swollen prostate, symptoms that are "part of aging". You may be tolerating gluten, the damage will happen. Of curiosity though, your age, sex, are you outside a lot without sunscreen?

      It would be interesting to see if you were tested again for blood antibodies after abandoning the gluten free diet for several weeks to a few months what the results would be. Don't misunderstand me. I'm not necessarily suggesting you do this but it is an option to think about. I guess I'm saying there is a question in my mind as to whether you actually ever had celiac disease. As I said above, the blood antibody testing can yield false positives. And it is also true that celiac-like symptoms can be produced by other medical conditions.

      Thank you for the reply In the early 2000's I did not have the endoscopy nor the biopsy I do not have those initial records I have only consulted a GI drs in the USA

      Welcome to the forum, @numike! We sometimes get reports like yours from community members who believe their celiac disease has "gone away." We think there can sometimes be cases of remission but not long term healing and that continued consumption of gluten will eventually result in a relapse. This is the state of our knowledge at this point but there is still a lot we don't know and celiac disease continues to surprise us with new findings on a frequent basis. So, we would not advise you to abandon a strict gluten-free diet. Perhaps you can draw consolation from the fact that at the present time you seem to be able to consume gluten without consequences when in situations where you do not have the option to eat gluten-free. But I would advise you to not generalize your recent experience such that you throw caution to the wind. But I want to go back to what you said about being diagnosed by blood test in the early 2000's. Did you not also have that confirmed with an endoscopy and biopsy of the small bowel lining? Normally, a celiac disease diagnosis is not concluded based on a blood test alone because there can be false positives. What kind of doctor did this testing? Was it done in the U.S. or overseas? In the last few years, it has become common in the U.K. to grant a celiac diagnosis from blood testing alone if the antibody test scores are 10x normal or greater. But that practice has not caught on in the U.S. yet and was not in place internationally in the early 2000's. Do you have a record of the tests that were done, the scores and also the reference ranges for negative vs. positive for the tests?
