We are going on a quickie family vacation in a couple of weeks. Staying about a mile from the white house and we won't have a car. Any restaurant suggestions? Looking mostly for bar & grill, burgers, pizza type of food. All suggestions welcome - thanks!

Here are a few in the metro area:

Most large cities, I have found are pretty well versed in serving gluten free. Have fun...it's a great city.

And the subway/metro can get you to anywhere you may want to go. Museum of Natural History and the National Zoo are a must. And take the metro to Dullas Airport to see the newly displayed Endeavor.

Thanks so much for your response.

Just by chance, my daughter and I recently went on a high school choir trip to NYC, and we were waiting for the Ellis island ferry when we got to see the Endeavor fly right over us! Got some pretty cool pictures!

My son will be excited to hear about all his choices! My DD is in DC for three weeks dancing and will also be happy to hear the suggestions. I ate at Ella's Pizza last summer and it was excellent!

Does anyone know if Safeway carries a variety of gluten-free products? The dancers grocery shop there.

Safeway does have gluten-free choices. But you may have to ask the store manager for a pointer. The stores seem to have different ideas of where to put gluten-free items depending on the manager in charge. If you are going to be near a certain Safeway I'd suggest calling the store and ask them about their gluten-free sections. Some of the Giants have good gluten-free sections. There are also Whole Foods and Yes Organic Market and Harris Teeter and Bloom. Wegmans and MOM ( My Organic Market) as well.

Thanks so much for the suggestions. There's a Trader Joe's right by the hotel she is staying at and there is a small Whole Foods 1/4 mile away. Her biggest needs are Udi's bread and Van's waffles/french toast sticks. She eats lots of rice, potatoes, fruits and vegetables. We have also found we like the Lunderberg products. I will give the Safeway a call. She'll be in NC before then and I need to call the Harris Teeter near her also.

MOM ( My Organic Market)

OMG! Love love love MOM's. I cannot wait to move back to Alexandria at the end of the summer where I will have ready access to the wonderful world of shopping at MOM's. I'll stop squeeing now... :)

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system
