I eat at Mixt Greens everyday, but I'm not sure if that qualifies as not $$$$$. Bistro burger is pretty good about burgers with no buns, but beware the fries. They are CC, no matter how many times the stoner at the register tells you they are ok. The Indian place in Embarcadero 2 is pretty good, I haven't gotten sick ordering simple "safe" dishes and I am super sensitive. SF soup company is good about labeling stuff gluten-free or not, but its good to check ingredients just in case.

Everything else that comes to mind is super expensive, like Kokkari and the places in the Ferry Building. I don't get over to Sausalito much, sorry, I work downtown but I live in the East Bay (Been to Mariposa Bakery yet?)

I go to Mixt green about 4 days a week, but I run out early to buy it before the rush and then eat it at my desk later. They are really good about CC if you tell them you are gluten intolerant (especially the one on Sansome, they know me by name). They will even go get fresh stuff from the back if someone accidentally dropped a crouton in something. Grabbing the bread to put on the salad is ingrained though, so you may have to catch them at the end. Also, they will change their gloves if prompted.

Would love to know where you're eating in the area now, would hate to think I was missing something nummy.

I don't get up to Sausalito much anymore, but they have a Molly Stone's grocery store.

When I worked on Fremont St. downtown, my gluten-free coworker and I used to go to Open Original Shared Link a lot. I don't remember if he emailed them first or called ahead, but they do know what is in their stuff. I'd double check the ingredients, but several months ago he always got the chili. They have yummy salads with meat on them.

Beware Soup Freaks, they just had the audacity to tell me that their Matzo balls are gluten-free. San Francisco Soup company states gluten-free or not right on the daily soup menu though.

      i have been gluten free for about 2 yrs i had a ttg recently done my blood test was .7 higher then last time. i must be doing something wrong im still not in the normal range. What advice would anyone give?

      He should definitely have his vitamin D and Vitamin B12 checked.  I have celiac and i always felt tired, sometimes i described it as dopy.My vitamin D is always low at times extremely low which can affect you. But  I also did some research and contacted my doctor to see if she checked my Vitamin B12 and She said she didn’t check my vitamin B-12 because a wasn’t Anemic and the normal protocol is , if you are not Anemic they don’t test for B-12.  She had no problem doing the test for me and it came back super super deficient . So I was given a shot of B12 once a week for 4 weeks and I give myself 1 shot intramuscular once a month now for 18 years. Once your B12 is low it can take a long time to bring it back up and sustain it. I think it took about 6 months to get a decent number and about a year to get it right. I do get my Vitamin D checked but not yearly more like every other year because it is a more expensive test and I tend to always be low. I do take a vitamin D supplement but I would talk to your doctor before taking a supplement to make sure you don’t take too much especially if you are already taking a multivitamin. Because too much D can also have some bad side effects.  Celiacs tend to be able to take a higher dose due to our digestive and malabsorption issues but always talk to your doctor before taking. Other things could be making him feel extremely tired  like new allergies like pollens, animals, molds etc.. sleep apnea is a huge one( cause extreme fatigue) and some medications. Just other things he can have checked! Good luck

      I suggest you eliminate dairy from your son's diet next.  Cow's milk protein, Casein, can trigger tTg IgA antibody production, the same as gluten, because casein contains segments of proteins that resemble gluten protein segments.   Mucosal reactivity to cow's milk protein in coeliac disease https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1810502/ I cannot consume dairy products.  Some people find they can tolerate A2 dairy without a reaction. Corn is another frequently hard to tolerate food because the protein zein in corn also resembles the protein structure of gluten.   Do research in Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and TTFD thiamine.  Taking TTFD really can make a dramatic difference, speaking from personal experience. https://hormonesmatter.com/energy-deficiency-asd/ Keep us posted on your progress!

      It sounds like you're doing everything right with your gluten-free diet, yet still experiencing significant discomfort, which must be frustrating. Since your stool sample came back normal but symptoms persist, pushing for further investigation—like a colonoscopy or biopsy—is a reasonable next step. You might also want to discuss the possibility of additional conditions, such as IBS, microscopic colitis, or other inflammatory issues, with your doctor. Tracking your symptoms, diet, and triggers in detail could help identify patterns. Don’t hesitate to advocate for yourself—if your current doctor isn’t addressing your concerns, seeking a second opinion or a referral to a gastroenterologist could be beneficial. You’re right to seek answers, and I hope you find relief soon. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.

      Hi all, I was diagnosed with coeliac in August 2020. This was via a blood test, as it was during COVID, so I’ve never had a biopsy or colonoscopy or anything like that.    I have been following a gluten-free diet since and would expect to feel much better, however, I am still experiencing issues with my bowels. Very strict, so I know there’s no cross contamination etc.    It usually seems to be after I have had a bowel movement, my bowels feel on fire, cramping, sore and very uncomfortable. I know it isn’t normal, and isn’t right and I have saw a doctor before, I provided a stool sample and apparently everything was fine- but I know it isn’t.    I am just wondering if anyone else experiences this? What would you advise I do in regards to seeing a doctor, I was thinking of asking for a colonoscopy or biopsy, I just want to know what is going on and why I’m still experiencing this. Any advice is welcome and appreciated.. thank you.
