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

Pastini--over 30 entrees and gluten-free tiramisu!!

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.

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse. But it is important not to stop the treatment. Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency. I didn't know...

      still struggling with cravings

      I totally get this. It's absolutely a grieving process, and it's okay to feel gutted about the loss of those simple joys, especially at 18. Your feelings are completely valid—it's not about being ungrateful for your amazing boyfriend, it's about mourning the life you thought you'd have. That "tortured by the smell" feeling is so real.

      Oh my goodness medication causing pain !!!!

      Many of us with celiac find that the fillers in medications can cause a reaction, and sometimes our bodies just process things weirdly. That "rebound muscle pain" and "burning feet" you described sounds awful and is a huge red flag. It's frustrating enough managing the diet without medication causing setbacks. So sorry you're dealing with this, but you're...

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse.  But it is important not to stop the treatment.  Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency.   I didn't know what anxiety was until it hit me like a train several months before gastrointestinal issues began, so I can certainly relate.   Two books which helped me hugely were At Last A Life by Paul David (there is a website you can look up) and The Depression Cure: The Six-Step Programme to Beat Depression Without Drugs by Dr Steve Llardi.  Although his book is aimed at people who have depression, following the principals he sets out was so helpful in lessening my anxiety.  Llardi suggests we need to focus on getting enough: - physical exercise - omega-3 fatty acids - natural sunlight exposure - restorative sleep - social connectedness - meaningful, engaging activity   ... and we should feel a lot better. That is not to stay you must stop taking medication for depression or anxiety if you have been prescribed it, but adopting the changes Dr Llardi sets out in the book should really help. Can I just ask two more questions:  1) you say that you are B12 deficient, did they test your iron levels too?  If not, you really ought to be checked for deficiency and, 2) did they check your thyroid function, as an overactive thyroid can be cause rapid heartbeat and a lot of coeliacs have thyroid issues?

Im angery because the "celiac specialist " basically lightly dismissed me.Im extremely angery and fighting for a new primary care physician which is hard to do in Northern Cali.So currently without and looking.Im angery that its lightly taken when its extremely serious to the one who has it.My only evidence is a brochure back in the days when I got news letters when I lived at my parents.It was published in 1998.I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet. Angery doctors don't take seriously when Im clearly speaking.I did write to the medicine of congress and have case number.

Your feelings are completely valid—it's not about being ungrateful for your amazing boyfriend, it's about mourning the life you thought you'd have. That "tortured by the smell" feeling is so real. It does get easier, I promise, but it's okay to sit in the sadness and just vent about how much it stings right now. Thanks for sharing that. Celiac.com has published a book on our site by Jean Duane PhD called Gluten-Centric Culture, which covers many of the social aspects of having celiac disease: This chapter in particular covers issues around eating with family and others - Gluten-Centric Culture: Chapter 5 - Grabbing A Bite Together:

That "rebound muscle pain" and "burning feet" you described sounds awful and is a huge red flag. It's frustrating enough managing the diet without medication causing setbacks. So sorry you're dealing with this, but you're definitely on the right track by connecting the dots. You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
