I can't find a recent enough thread on this one - I will be traveling to LA next month and need some ideas of where to eat. We will be staying in Anaheim (I know Disneyland is a good option), but will be really all over the area over few days and am curious about your experiences. I am becoming incredibly food phobic as I just cannot seem to get longer than a few weeks without getting glutened (sometimes it is from eating out, sometimes it is from a thoughtless error at home, and sometimes I can't figure it out) and I fear I will never heal - anyone know of some good options where you feel really safe?

Sorry, I don't have any specific recs (last time I was in the LA are was prior to diagnosis) but places in SoCal are usually good about ordering "off menu" -- and the West Coast in general seems better informed about food allergies and intolerances. The small town where my mother lives in OR has several places with gluten-free menus and they are serious about it?!?! It boggles my mind.

I bet if you do a search for Anaheim and gluten free you'll have several options pop up.

      Still unsure.....

      By badastronaut · Posted

      Quick question, had some blood tests done again and once again my zinc was too low but now ofcourse my B1 was too high and so was my B6. The doc said to  immediately  stop all supplements that contain B6. Can using thiamine raise the levels of B6 too?

      Newly Diagnosed

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @NCalvo822! Ditto to what Scott said. But let me ask you, what method or methods did your physician use to diagnose you as having celiac disease? Normally, it is a two step process. The first step involves a blood test that looks for certain antibodies produced by celiac disease. The second step involves an upper GI scoping and biopsy of the small bowel lining to check for the damage to the lining typically caused by celiac disease. This second step is used as confirmation of the blood work when the antibody testing turns up some positives. Occasionally, positive antibody tests scores can be caused by things besides celiac disease. Which of these were done or did you have both done before the doc declared you to have celiac disease?

      Thanks for sharing this info! Frustrating to see companies who haven't used wheat as an ingredient start to do so! https://blistex.com/product/five-star-lip-protection/

      Frustrated

      I followed the Autoimmune Protocol Diet to get my symptoms calmed down and my nutrients up.   I know what a struggle it is.  You're why I'm here. Smoothing out some rough parts of your journey makes my journey worthwhile. Here's the tests you can get for Celiac antibodies...
