I am dating the most wonderful girl who has celiacs. She is coming to town soon and I am looking for any and all restaurants and info that I can treat her to and spoil her with. I know its been extremely hard for her to deal with the issue in the past year and she has mostly resorted to not eating. I want to find as many safe treats and delights as I can. If you know of any good restaurants in the bay area, specifically the san jose, santa clara area, I would greatly appreciate the info, or any simple recipes that a not so talented but trying guy like me can manage. Thank you greatly for the help and all the suggestions.

... .. If you know of any good restaurants in the bay area, specifically the san jose, santa clara area, I would greatly appreciate the info, or any simple recipes that a not so talented but trying guy like me can manage.

I live in San Jose but have too many other food issues to eat out.

What I DO know is that there's a P.F. Chang's in downtown SJ (another somewhere in the south bay I think) w/ a gluten-free menu, and Outback has a gluten-free menu.

But if you're really looking to "spoil her", I'm pretty sure EVERY higher-end restaurant (w/ actual trained chefs) would be happy to accomodate her. I'd probably call a couple days in advance to be certain, and perhaps give them a heads up.

I've heard of many ppl w/ celiac having VERY satisfying experiences at good restaurants.

For recipes, have you looked through the Recipes sub-forum here?

Another option in SJ, tho not for a fancy dinner, is El Pollo Loco. The chicken is gluten-free unless it's put on a flour tortilla, and the pinto beans are gluten-free - I haven't heard any other side orders being gluten-free.

      You did not mention your age, but depending on how old you are it makes a big difference on how important it is to get a flu vaccine.

      Opinions on my test results/symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your situation is not straightforward, so it’s understandable why you’re seeking clarity. Your elevated thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPOs) and thyroglobulin levels suggest autoimmune thyroid involvement, possibly Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, even though your thyroid function currently appears normal. The link between autoimmune thyroid disease and celiac disease is well-documented, but your celiac panel results are inconclusive, with only the deamidated gliadin IgA elevated. As you doctor correctly mentioned, this could indicate non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) rather than celiac disease, especially since you lack classic GI symptoms. However, the absence of improvement after four months gluten-free is notable. While some non-GI symptoms like fatigue and brain fog can take longer to resolve, the lack of progress raises questions about whether gluten is the primary driver of your symptoms. It might be worth revisiting the possibility of a biopsy (after a gluten challenge) to rule out celiac definitively, or exploring other potential contributors, such as nutrient deficiencies, other autoimmune conditions, or even dysautonomia, given your temperature regulation and energy issues. Have you had your thyroid levels retested since going gluten-free? If not, I would do that before resuming a regular gluten diet. It would be interesting to see if there has been any normalization in those levels while on a gluten-free diet.

      Yes no gluten in my diet. I get so sick that I have to go to the ER for fluids and medicine. I was diagnosed in 2017 but was told I probably have had it my whole life. (Went to Mayo in 2019 to confirm diagnoses and address all other autommune issues ect.) Also intolerance to sugar alcohols and chicory root. Try to eat clean and stay away from processes foods.

      Dawn, are you diligent with the gluten free diet? When were you diagnosed with celiac disease?

      I am on Otzela for my psoriasis an psoriasis arthritis.  They tried pretizon and I got sick on it. ( the doctor at urgent care). Need to see my doctor but he seems puzzled by me. My celiac disease is unresponsive and my numbers are off the chart.  ( 2nd testing went higher but Mayo said they might never go down because I have it so bad) Came back home considering going back to Mayo.
