Anyone Familiar With The Dc Area?

I'm traveling there for the first time in June - am SO excited but nervous because this will be the first vacation since being gluten free.

Anybody familiar with the area? Any good restaurants or health food stores around?

My hotel room does not have a toaster, microwave, or refrigerator, so I'm planning on bringing lots of rice cakes, peanut butter, corn muffins, fruit, lara bars, etc. But I'm worried about actual meals!

Thanks!

I used to live there, but it was before going gluten-free, so I'm not too sure. I can tell you that there's a Whole Foods at P and 14th NW near Dupont Circle, and another in upper Georgetown, on Wisconsin, I guess. Where are you staying? Neither of these is near the tourist stuff, but might be close to where you're staying.

DC is also the land of steak houses, and I would think that would be a fairly navigable choice. My favorite was always District Chophouse near Chinatown, for both food and atmosphere. Not as stuffy and political as some of the others.

Lots of good sushi, too -- My favorite was always Sushi Taro at 17th and P.

Good luck and report back on where you find success -- I still visit DC a couple times a year and would love your tips!

      Less than 10 parts per billion issues

      By trents · Posted

      I have no specific recommendations but I would suggest looking for products that are advertised as produced in a dedicated gluten-free facility. That should eliminate one possible route of cross contamination. It doesn't guarantee that none of the ingredients going into the product are totally gluten free but is should eliminate adding more CC to the mix via processing machinery.  One of the issues you may be experiencing is that testing has shown that a significant percentage of "Certified Gluten Free" products can test far in excess of 10ppm. There was an article appearing in this forum back last summer outlining the results of testing that showed this to be true. So, it may be somewhat of a pig in a poke when you buy this stuff, regardless of how it is billed. It may be safe for you if it actually fits within the stated requirements of it's billing.

      I can still have a reaction from “certified gluten free” products I don’t like having to use the eat and see what my body does approach are there really any purely gluten free products or do I just have to make all of my own food?

      Hi I just wanted to update you all and let you know that I finally have my diagnosis. 2 weeks ago I had my third gastroscopy and the biopsy confirmed the damage. Thank you for giving me the information I needed to advocate for myself when I a was a feeling so lost!
