Back From Ca Road Trip!

I survived my CA road trip and the only time I got sick my husband also ended up not feeling well. We had both had a lobster salad and ironically my husband took longer to bounce back than me. He did say several times while he was feeling crummy, "Now I know how you feel." The road trip aspect was hard for me though, I think if we feel the need to travel again we'll rent a condo on a beach somewhere and relax!

Hey, I'm glad you had a nice trip :) Where exactly did you go in California? I live in Northern California but as a senior trip this summer I'm doing the whole "road trip" thing to Southern California and my friends and are are renting a beach house. Like you said, I thought that'd be safer. BUT im sure my friends are going to want to eat out a lot, so I was wondering if you had traveled along the coast in southern California, and if you could reccomend any accomodating restaraunts? Thanks :)

We drove from Carlsbad, to Morro Bay, to Carmel, to Napa, to San Francisco. I tried to scope out restaurants ahead of time, even stressed about it some, but it was hard in the end since we were on the go so much. I just made sure I spoke up, handed out my gluten-free cards, and I brought along lots of gluten-free power bars and salad dressings (Annie's makes them in individual packets). I had my share of bunless hamburgers (no fries of course, they always cook breaded stuff in the oil) and chicken ceasers (with my own dressing). I don't like eggs much so I missed having my toast or english muffins in the mornings. I noticed they are making Gorilla Munch cereal in individual bowls now which would be great for travel. There seemed to be a little more awareness out there about the whole gluten issue than there is here in the midwest. Don't let your gluten-free diet hold you back. Try to go to the known chains that have gluten-free menus, but if you can't, just insist on something other than Italian and you should be fine! B)

You handed out gluten-free cards? What are those?

I was just in Northern Ca!! I went to stay at my relative's house in Portola Valley in/near Palo Alto. My family visited Monterey, Carmel, Pebble Beach (gorgeous), and San Fran(Mostly Lame Advertisementraz). It was pretty cool. I had plenty of bunless hamburgers and we even went to P.F. Changs which has a gluten-free menu.

      Pathology results - coeliac positive?

      By Tazzy11 · Posted

      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!

      By Sergiu2020 · Posted

      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.

      Brasswell marmalade and jellies are gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      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.

      NEED TO READ ALL LABELS (FRONT & BACK)

      I have seen this problem many times. I always get in touch with the company. Most times they tell me if I'm just gluten free it is ok, but do not eat it if you are celiac. Calling the company is the best way when you are not sure. Yesterday I had a different example of products being marked gluten-free.  I love chocolate and have a piece each day. The chocolate bar I like is Chocolove. When I bought one this week it was not marked gluten-free. I called the company to find out why and if it was still gluten-free.  Turns out the manufacturer decided there was too much on the wrapper and took off the gluten-free label. It is made in a dedicated gluten-free facility.
