New to the forum, joined primarily for recipes. I've been gluten-free since November 2009. Anyone know any good gluten free resturaunts in SF proper? I've been to Pica Pica and Hot Spud and love them both, but haven't been that many other places.

I'm moving to San Francisco soon. :) It's a great city to be gluten-free! I like The Plant Cafe Organic and Amici's pizza.

Hi, Ben!

I belong to a number of meetup.com gluten-free groups in the S.F. Bay Area. They oftentimes like to meet at gluten-free spots (like Pica Pica and Mariposa Bakery in Oakland) just to chat, socialize, and share information. Everyone I've met through meetup.com has been very nice, and I learn something new every time we meet.

You might want to check them out...

BTW, I live in Martinez.

Welcome to SF Ben! Zadin in the Castro, Dosa on Fillmore, Ike's Place in the Mission and Pica Pica on Valencia are my favourite gluten free eateries here in the city. They are all celiac friendly and know what they are doing in terms of preventing cross contamination, etc. :)

      @nanny marley, Have you been taking any vitamins or mineral supplements besides Vitamin D? What are you eating?  Do you eat processed gluten free foods?   You said your symptoms included fatigue, body hair loss, low vitamin d,  Restless Leg Syndrome, Raynaud's Syndrome, contact dermatitis, rhinitis, body aches, TMJ, heart palpitations, sleep issues, vomiting,  dizziness, frequent bowel movements. There's eight B vitamins and Vitamin C that are water soluble.  When one has diarrhea for extended periods of time, those water soluble essential vitamins are flushed out of the body easily, and there's little time to absorb any more water soluble vitamins or fat soluble vitamins from food moving through that fast.   It's easy to become vitamin deficient with diarrhea.   Deficiency in Vitamin B1, Thiamine, can result in Gastrointestinal BeriBeri which can also cause diarrhea, fatigue, and abdominal pain.  Deficiency in Vitamin B3, Niacin, can cause diarrhea as well as skin rashes, and sleep issues.  Deficiency in Vitamin B12, Cobalamine, can cause diarrhea and Restless Leg Syndrome.  Deficiency in Vitamin C can cause diarrhea and skin rashes. Thiamine deficiency can also cause heart palpitations, sleep issues, and vomiting.  Have you had your thyroid checked?  Hypothyroidism can cause body hair loss, as can iron deficiency.   I've experienced serious nutritional deficiencies which my doctors did not recognize as such and blamed me for making stuff up.  I've experienced these nutritional deficiencies.  I earned a degree in Microbiology after studying nutrition because I wanted to know what vitamins were doing inside the body.  Vitamins are special organic compounds that our bodies cannot make, so we must get them from food or supplements.  Without these vitamins, our bodies cannot function well. Talk to your doctor and nutritionist about supplementing with vitamins and minerals that are lacking on the gluten free diet.  Blood tests for deficiencies in the B vitamins are not accurate.  Taking a B Complex and looking for health improvement is best.   I've got serious vision problems and would really appreciate punctuation.  Thanks P.S.  I take a combination of Thiamine, Cobalamine B12 and Pyridoxine B6 for back pain from crushed vertebrae.  I understand back pain.  These vitamins together relieve pain.

      King Arthur Gluten-free bread flour contains wheat starch, but has had the gluten removed. According to the FDA, it meets the FDA's gluten-free standard of less than 20 parts per million (ppm) of gluten. Has anyone here tried to bake bread from this? If yes, did you have a reaction? Thank you in advance for your time and attention.
