I will be visiting the Manhattan Beach, LA area mid August. Can anyone suggest any place that may be a safe place to eat? Thank You! Susie

well, no specific places. There are of course chains like PF Changs around. I live in LA, and while I don't eat out currently (diet more restricted than gluten-free), eating gluten-free is definitely possible at many places. LA is king of funky diets, Atkins, Zone, you name it, so people ordering a sandwich with no bread is commonplace (just be superclear that no bread can touch it, yadda yadda...).

You'll fit right in :)

Ha! :lol: How cool is that? I was just at the GIG conference in Chicago and I ate a few meals with a celiac and her parents from Manhattan Beach...I'll e-mail this thread to them.

Of course, there are always the chains to fall back on: Outback, TGIF, PF Changs, Arbys, etc., etc.

I'm not sure about Manhattan Beach, but here the message (I just copy/pasted it) someone on this board had for Huntington beach (which is pretty close to Manahattan Beach - California).

"While in downtown Huntington Beach, right on the corner of PCH and Main Street try Spark Wood Fire Grill. It's on the second floor overlooking the HB Pier and the beach. Ask your server to have Chris the head chef to come out. HIs wife is celiac and he is very aware of our unique eating needs. He cooked a dish especially for me and it was delicious!

He is in the process of writing a cookbook (he's a master chef) and getting a website. He has pancakes and a brownie recipes to die for! I found him quite by accident after I ordered the special of the day and was surprised when it arrived with wheat noodles artfully placed on top of my main dish. Pretty but deadly. Check him out soon at www.wecanteatbutwelovewheat.com. His company is named Believe In It Products. specializing in high quality gluten free products. "

update he no longer works at that restaurant

Oh, and what's gluten free at Arbys?

Arby's nutritional information is here: Open Original Shared Link Pretty unhelpful, actually...doesn't show next to each product whether it contains gluten, but this is what I found from the SillyYaks Restaurant Guidebook (which I'm still sending to anyone who wants it). It had two columns: one to avoid, one to have...this was on the "have" side:

Pepper Bacon

Pre-cooked Bacon (breakfast)

Bacon Bits

Bacon (raw)

Roast Ham

Roast Beef

Pepperoni (sub set up)

Salami (sub set up)

[pink] fry sauce

Shake Syrups (all flavors)

All Vegetable Liquid Corn Oil Frying

OIL

Bun Toasting Pan & Grill

Bun Toasting Oil

Peppers & Onions

Cream Cheese Roll Icing

TJ Cinnamon Sticky Bun Smear

Arby's Icing

Natural Pecan Pieces

Shake Mix

Turkey Breast

Sausage Patties

Mocha Chill

Potato Cakes

Green Leaf Lettuce

Easy Eggs Deluxe Scrambled Egg Mix

Green Leaf Lettuce

Arby's Sauce

Arby Q (BBQ) sauce

Santa Fe Sauce

Three Pepper Sauce

BBQ Dipping Sauce

Bullseye BBQ Sauce

Tartar Sauce

Tangy SW sauce

Sweet & Sour Sauce

Dijon Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: 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/
