Hello,

I am completely new to this board, and I am new to the whole Celiac's thing. I am traveling to San Diego the beginning of July (2008) and I am hoping to find some fun local flavor of San Diego that is gluten free (I'm hoping to avoid the chain restaurants like Chili's and fast food). Does anyone have any recommendations on where to eat out and have a great vacation experience, but also maintain my new gluten-free lifestyle? We will be in San Diego quite a bit on our trip, but our hotel is located in the Escondido area. Any suggestions in either of these two areas or in between would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

click here for a Open Original Shared Link, they have some restaurant listings. In my experience there aren't that many non-chains with gluten-free menus in San Diego, but most of the we-make-the-food-here restaurants are able to accommodate gluten-free diners if you self-identify and are willing to educate them a bit.

Also, search on this site for "san diego" there were a few older threads with some ideas.

Have a great trip!

I read a review, and went to, "The better half". Restaurant is excellent, small, nice atmosphere, but pricey! Chef comes out and talks to you about gluten free, seems very knowledgeable.

I like Ranchos in North Park. Cilantros Live also has quite a few options (expensive vegan food - but good). Ki's in Cardiff is also one of my favorites (the veggie burger is made with millet and is gluten-free - I usually get the veggie burger tacos).

      High blood test numbers - with scales. Any advice?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @RMJ, you have multiple positive tests so celiac disease is likely.  This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease.

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By trents · Posted

      One small study found that 50% of celiacs react to the dairy protein "casein" like they do to gluten. It is also common for celiacs to be lactose (the sugar in milk) intolerant, though that often disappears in time as the villi heal. About 10% of celiacs react to the oat protein "avenin" like they do gluten.

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      Thank you so much Trents (Scott?)! I have started working with a dietitian and did a deep research dive as soon as I got the diagnosis. I am aware of what you mentioned in the first two paragraphs, and was not aware of anything in the third, so I am grateful for that information, and will talk to the dietitian about that. I think I was most interested in the withdrawal process - it gives me hope that, although I have felt unwell recently, I just need to be patient (not a strong suit). I have printed the article you sent and will look at it more closely. Thanks again!

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @K6315! Gluten withdrawal typically lasts for a period of a few weeks. But there is a real learning curve involved in actually attaining to a gluten free dietary state. Much more is involved than just cutting out major sources of gluten such as bread and pasta. It's all the places that gluten is hidden in the food supply that is difficult to ferret out, like soy sauce and canned tomato soup, canned chili and canned pork n' beans, some "lite" pancake syrups, potato salad, flavorings, etc., etc. Gluten-containing grain products are hidden through alternate terminology and found in places you would never expect.  There is also "cross contamination" where naturally gluten free foods come into contact with gluten-containing grains during farming, transportation, storage and manufacturing processes. Then there is the issue of "cross reactivity" whereby you may be having gluten-like reaction to food proteins whose structure is similar to gluten. Chief among these are dairy, oats (even gluten-free oats), soy, corn and eggs. I am including this article that you might find helpful:
