I don't get up to San Francisco much, but in the South Bay Area we have PF Changs and Outback. I'm so new all all this that I haven't really ventured out to eat much yet...but I understand PF Changs and Outback each have gluten free items/menus. There is a health food store in Cupertino called Cupertino Nutrition which stock a lot of gluten-free stuff like Kinnickinnick breads, donuts, etc. We also have Whole Foods stores which carry some good gluten-free items.

I had some great gluten free pasta at Maggiano's (Santana Row) in San Jose. The chef was very nice, made a ton of it for me so I could take some home.

I live in the area but get stuck going to the same old places, Outback and PF Changs. However, most higher end restaurants in the area are good about making accomodations.

If you're up for a nice trip down the coast, I had a fabulous (albeit expensive) dinner at the Pacific's Edge Restaurant in Carmel. The chef told me to order whatever I wanted and he would modify it.

There's a nice lunch/coffee place in downtown Mountain View that has gluten free sandwiches. It's called Global Blends.

Hi Rachel,

I just found out that the Bay Area Celiac support group is having a lunch at Maggiano's in March.

See the following web site: Open Original Shared Link.

Wish I could go, but I am already tied up on that day. :(

For those who may stumble on this post for a trip to downtown San Jose, I had excellent experiences at PF Chang's, E&O Trading Company as well as The Grill on the Alley. I was out in San Jose on business and it turns out there's a Safeway grocery store with some fresh and basic gluten-free items for breakfast (rice chex, soy milk, produce). Lunch was had at PF Chang's from a gluten-free menu. For dinner E&O Trading explained the option for each course, and The Grill on the Alley had a Gluten Free menu. Both very accommodating, especially if you call ahead.

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By larc · Posted

      Thanks for your thoughts on this. My reactions to gluten are complex and involve more than just my heart and arteries. The problems with what It does to my cardiovascular system do present me with a bit of a conundrum at times. For instance, I had cardio bypass surgery in 2002 (at age 53) and then again had angina and artery issues in 2006. At the same time, I was also suffering symptoms of early onset dementia while also experiencing symptoms of psychosis. That was when I discovered I had celiac and went on a. gluten-free diet. On that diet, my psychosis disappeared, my chest pain stopped and my cognitive issues also cleared up. Subsequently I began running and exercising again with no cardio problems. And my stress tests and cardio exams since then showed no evidence of artery problems. Plus, my lipid panels showed significant changes. My arteriosclerosis had started in 1992. At that time, my HDL cholesterol had always been measured in the 20s even though I exercised religiously, ate what was supposed to be a heart-healthy diet and was never overweight. After going on a gluten-free diet in 2006, my HDLs have been in the 60s and 70s. Since then, my usual symptoms of ingesting gluten are a temporary increase in blood pressure and certain intense types of hypnogogic hallucinations. The Afib stuff is a recent development. I will be discussing all of this again with my cardiologist in May. I discuss some of this in my substack (no paywall) at https://diaryofapreviouslydementedpoet.substack.com/

      Help Interpreting My Lab Results? (updated)

      By trents · Posted

      Migraines are a recognized symptom of celiac disease. The incidence of it is higher in the celiac community than in the general population. It is one of mine. Well, keep us posted. Do you have a follow up appointment scheduled yet? Again, let me stress that it is important to not begin the gluten free diet or even a reduced gluten diet until all testing related to celiac diagnosis is complete.

      No other testing has been done at this point, though I wonder if my diagnosis will prompt that. My main symptoms have been bowel related and I’ve had severe migraines for several years now but I’ve been seeing a neurologist for that and have it under control, though I now wonder if the migraines have been a symptom of Celiac all along.
