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.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      A friend of mine is in the bar trade most of his life and has never heard of lines being mixed for different type of beers and ciders. Better to stick with cans.

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Thanks very much for confirming my suspicion @Scott Adams! That helps a lot because I'm really trying to track down and get rid of these sources of cross-contact and so I'm going to just rule out the draft ciders and hope that helps. Also @Rogol72 its nice to hear you haven't had a problem on that side of the pond - draft cider lines being used for cider only certainly sounds like the right way to do it, but I think that must not always be practiced over here!

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.
