If you live in the Seattle area I was wondering where you liked to eat out. What do you eat when you go there?

I was up there last weekend, and will live there soon, but while there, we went to PF Changs, Z'Tejas, and got some stuff from the Flying Apron Bakery. All are quite celiac friendly. There's also Kalli's Kitchen, but I didn't get a chance to stop there.

I've gotten things from The Flying Apron Bakery, but I have never heard of PF Changs or Z'Tejas. I will be sure to eat at them! :) Thanks for telling me!

Kaili's Kitchen

In Firdale Village

9711 Firdale Ave.

Edmonds WA 98020

206-542-1462

1-877-664-5883

Kaili's Kitchen has moved (as of Oct. 1st, 2003) and is now open for lunch and dinner. Everything in her kitchen is gluten-free and everything tastes great! For a real worry-free, gluten-free dining out experience, visit Kaili's Kitchen and give your taste buds a treat.

This place is great!!! I was in Washington for a few days and dragged my husband, sister, bro-in-law, niece & nephew, to Kaili's for a meal. It was well worth the drive as EVERYTHING on the menu is gluten-free!!! Including the delicious desserts!!!!!!

Both Kaili and her daughter are Celiacs, so they are well versed in what we can and cannot eat!!!

If you can't get to Kaili's contact her for a list of the foods she will overnight to you!!!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!

Another chain restaurant you might try is Thaifoon. I know they're in Salt Lake City and Las Vegas and a few other cities. I haven't seen any in the East.

They have great food and a gluten-free menu!!!

Or she'll decide not to do that because of the cost of gas to drive across town and snail-mail you a late gift certificate instead without telling you.

I kid you not, my MIL ordered a gift certificate and two cinnamon rolls for our anniversary for us, at the beginning of the week. By the end of the week (our anniversary), we'd heard nothing, so while we were travelling (in Seattle) ironically, my MIL finally talked to her, was told she'd decided not to send the cinnamon rolls, and would snail mail a gift certificate - which obviously didn't get to us before we went to Seattle where we could have used it. She made this decision on her own, without confirming it with my MIL, and my MIL had to call *numerous* times to get an answer. I was appalled by that service. I may stop in once we live there, but... that's unexcusable.

I went to Black Angus one time and while they had never heard of celiac disease, they were very accomodating. I had to explain cross contamination and issues with seasonings. The manager looked out for me and let me bring in my own bbq sauce. I've also heard that Claim Jumper is very accomodating.

Tiffany - that would make me mad too!

I don't know how relevant what I am about to right is to the topic, but...

Claim Jumper is very accomodating. I went there a couple days ago and I asked the waitress if they had a gluten-free menu. They do, but its on their website. I looked at it before and remembered what I could have on it, and the waitress was really nice about it and made sure that it was gluten-free! That put me in a good mood! :P

School has started for me and when gluten slips into my diet I get reactions so strong I have to stay home from school.I was sick today and I hated it! :angry: I had eated at a mexian resturaunt the night before and had had a taco. The shell looked to be corn but it must of had gluten in it because I was sick the next day!.

I reccomend eating at Japanese resturaunts. There is a thing called sushi on a converbelt where there is a big converbelt with sushi on it and you talke the rolls you want off it.I tried it and its really fun! :D

One thing you do want to be careful of, is do they make their corn shells themselves. Lots of nice mexican places make their own shells, and then deep fry them to make them crunchy

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium. A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake. With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones. Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 1...

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it. Gluten is the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part. Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein. Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat...

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3. Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C. Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine. Weight...

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free. I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree...

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it.  Gluten is  the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part.  Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate  ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein.   Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat, and bran is the protective covering of the kernel.   Little to no gluten there.   Large amounts of lectins are in wheat germ and can cause digestive upsets, but not enough Gluten to provoke antibody production in the small intestines. Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind

      Insomnia help

      By cristiana · Posted

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep.  One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem.  Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read, do a sudoku or some other small task, and then go back to bed when she felt sleepy again.  I can't think it did her any harm - she lived  well into her nineties. Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.
