Recent Business Trip To San Francisco

I had a week long stay in San Francisco last month and was pleasantly surprised at how well everything went. When I was researching initially I didn't see many restaurants that had gluten free menus online so I felt a little nervous about going on this trip, but I had to think with San Francisco being such a large city with tons of restaurants they would have some choices for me which they did. Here are some of the restaurants where I ate and had a a great experience.

Michael Mina's Bourbon Street: I had a delicious meal and they even had some gluten free bread for me which was really good. They do not have a gluten-free menu, but were very well trained on gluten-free and CC.

Scoma's: Wonderful seafood and very well trained on gluten-free and CC. They do not have a gluten free menu, but had numerous gluten free options.

Out the Door: Vietnamese casual restaurant with gluten free menu.

Amber India: No gluten free menu, but many items were naturally gluten free and they were aware of cc issues.

Roy's Hawaiian: Really good gluten-free menu and a great meal.

Zadin: Vietnamese restaurant in the Castro and have a great gluten-free menu. They even had fried calamari on the gluten-free menu and when I questioned the owner about cc he told me that they have a whole separate area of the kitchen for gluten-free items and nothing fried in their fryers contain gluten. Heaven!! :)

Awesome!! I'm happy that you had such a great experience. My husband and I are toying with the idea of returning to SF. We love their restaurants and chefs (including Michael Mina). Higher end restaurants seem to be more knowledgable and far better trained. Many things on menus are naturally gluten-free anyway - the best pan sauces, etc. aren't made with flour but often reductions.

Thanks for the report - will keep this in mind.

The next time you visit S.F., another great spot to eat is a little diner called Pica Pica at Valencia and 15th. What's especially outstanding about it (besides the great-tasting food) is that it is an entirely gluten-free establishment, including gluten-free beers. I've eaten there several times, and it's a very safe feeling to know that there will be no cross-contamination during the preparation of my meal. Our gluten-free Meetup group sometimes meets there.

Man, I live in a foodie wasteland here - absolutely no restaurants I can eat at. My husband and I drive three hours when we want to eat out.

This diner sounds very good. Another one to add to my list! :)

Thanks!! I will have to try Pica Pica next time I go there. I was with a group most of the time for my meals so I was a little limited on where we went.

      Welcome to the forum, @SuzanneL! Which tTG was that? tTG-IGA? tTG-IGG? Were there other celiac antibody tests run from that blood draw? Was total IGA measured? By some chance were you already cutting back on gluten by the time the blood draw was taken or just not eating much? For the celiac antibody tests to be accurate a person needs to be eating about 10g of gluten daily which is about 4-6 pieces of bread.

      I've recently received a weak positive tTG, 6. For about six years, I've been sick almost everyday. I was told it was just my IBS. I have constant nausea. Sometimes after I eat, I have sharp, upper pain in my abdomen. I sometimes feel or vomit (bile) after eating. The doctor wanted me to try a stronger anti acid before doing an endoscopy. I'm just curious if these symptoms are pointing towards Celiac Disease?

      I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through. It must be really frustrating and uncomfortable. Have you talked to your healthcare provider about these sudden sweating episodes? It might be helpful to discuss this with them to rule out any other underlying issues or to see if there are specific strategies or treatments that can help manage this symptom. Additionally, staying hydrated and wearing breathable clothing may provide some relief.

      I am not sure where you are going, but we have articles in this section which may be helpful: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-travel/

      There are supplements available that can help breakdown minor amounts of gluten such as you might experience with cross contamination when dining out and you order gluten free items from a menu. But they will not help when larger amounts of gluten are consumed. One such product that many on this forum attest to as having helped them in this regard is GliadinX. The inventor of GlidinX is one our forum sponsors so you should know that.
