Hi there,

Is there anyone here from South Orange County (CA) area that can share some good dining/restaurant experiences?

I am newer to this diet and am very scared to eat out. I have heard of a Restaurant in Costa Mesa - Skosh Monnahans, which serves gluten-free, but it isn't very close.

I would also love to find a safe Mexican food restaurant. (I miss El Pollo Loco for the fast food/hurry-up fix)

Thanks to all!

Cin

Here's a link with some places:

Scroll down to the "on the way to LA" section. I ate at Typhoon once with no problems. They were very friendly and accomodating, but if you order something with soy sauce, double verify that it's gluten-free soy sauce.

I can't think of any mexican restaurants in that area off hand, but many of the more authentic places have many gluten-free options, and you should be able to get tacos and what not with corn tortillas instead of flour. Triumph dining cards can sometimes be helpful in that kind of situation. Good luck :)

I believe that there is a Chevy's Fresh Mex restaurant near Orange County (I saw two driving from Redlands to there and back recently). I love Chevy's. I order the fajitas with corn tortillas and I have never had a problem. Besides which, the fajitas are pretty darn good, at least at the one I go to. Happy holidays! I hope you find somewhere nice.

      I did a gluten challenge. I ate bread yesterday. I immediately felt horrid. Depressed, fearful, angry.  I also had the weirdest night terrors and "day terrors" (delusions). They were do awful, that I am still terrified. How do gluten impact your dreams?

      Thanks so much for replying!  No I haven't been limiting gluten prior to this test, I didn't know the Dr even tested for it until I got my results. These were the only celiac related pathology that was tested for. I am seeing my Dr on Monday so hopefully she can shed some more light!

      New here as well lots of things learning I’ve discovered lots of foods have sneaky gluten so be mindful how is it going?? I have issues when I do cocktails 🍸 I don’t know if it is gluten free or not but get horrible side effects and so many others ooh well we are all learning how to cope with this….

      Thanks a lot! I will search that too. I also talked to another doctor and she assured me there is no gluten in this type of antibiotics. Anyway i started the administration of Augmentin on my girl this evening. I hope there will be no problems.

      Good afternoon, I don’t know if anyone here has ever tried Braswell’s products like their marmalades or jellies? Are they gluten-free? On the ingredients says “cane sugar, cherries (cherries, cane sugar), strawberries, corn syrup, pectin and citric acid. That ingredient list is from their berry preserve bottle. Most of them say the same for ingredients, but I’m not sure if it is okay to consume.
