We are going on a quickie family vacation in a couple of weeks. Staying about a mile from the white house and we won't have a car. Any restaurant suggestions? Looking mostly for bar & grill, burgers, pizza type of food. All suggestions welcome - thanks!

Here are a few in the metro area:

Most large cities, I have found are pretty well versed in serving gluten free. Have fun...it's a great city.

And the subway/metro can get you to anywhere you may want to go. Museum of Natural History and the National Zoo are a must. And take the metro to Dullas Airport to see the newly displayed Endeavor.

Thanks so much for your response.

Just by chance, my daughter and I recently went on a high school choir trip to NYC, and we were waiting for the Ellis island ferry when we got to see the Endeavor fly right over us! Got some pretty cool pictures!

My son will be excited to hear about all his choices! My DD is in DC for three weeks dancing and will also be happy to hear the suggestions. I ate at Ella's Pizza last summer and it was excellent!

Does anyone know if Safeway carries a variety of gluten-free products? The dancers grocery shop there.

Safeway does have gluten-free choices. But you may have to ask the store manager for a pointer. The stores seem to have different ideas of where to put gluten-free items depending on the manager in charge. If you are going to be near a certain Safeway I'd suggest calling the store and ask them about their gluten-free sections. Some of the Giants have good gluten-free sections. There are also Whole Foods and Yes Organic Market and Harris Teeter and Bloom. Wegmans and MOM ( My Organic Market) as well.

Thanks so much for the suggestions. There's a Trader Joe's right by the hotel she is staying at and there is a small Whole Foods 1/4 mile away. Her biggest needs are Udi's bread and Van's waffles/french toast sticks. She eats lots of rice, potatoes, fruits and vegetables. We have also found we like the Lunderberg products. I will give the Safeway a call. She'll be in NC before then and I need to call the Harris Teeter near her also.

MOM ( My Organic Market)

OMG! Love love love MOM's. I cannot wait to move back to Alexandria at the end of the summer where I will have ready access to the wonderful world of shopping at MOM's. I'll stop squeeing now... :)

      Anyone Else Experiencing These Symptoms?

      How to keep water down?

      I'm a minor under my parents roof, and they absolutely refuse to take me to the ER for anything celiac related, and I do not trust myself to drive at the moment. I'll try to convince them once more, though, thank you for replying

      How to keep water down?

      Get someone to take you to the local ER and get some IV fluids on board. You already are or are at risk for serious dehydration. If you have no one who can transport you or you are too weak to make the trip in a car, call 911.

      How to keep water down?

      Hi, I don't know if this is the right topic, but I've been glutened and I'm having a horrible time trying to keep even a sip of water -or any liquid- down. I've gotten to the point of which I'm having dry-heaving episodes because there's nothing left to vomit, and it's incredibly painful and I'm so weak and lightheaded as a result. If I try even taking the...

      Anyone Else Experiencing These Symptoms?

      Hi everyone, I’m currently in the process of figuring out if celiac disease might be the cause of some persistent symptoms I’ve been dealing with, and I’d love to hear from others who’ve had similar experiences. I’m not diagnosed yet, but these are the symptoms I’ve been struggling with: Diarrhea Constipation (sometimes alternating between the two) Elevated Liver Enzymes - (dont know why) Visual Snow syndrome (static vision) Sandy stools or really skinny - (sorry for the TMI) Muscle cramps and general soreness Tingling in my hands and feet Bloating that can feel really uncomfortable Tiredness and extreme fatigue SI joint pain and stiffness Herniated disk and degenerative disk disease + stenosis.  Ive been trying to figure out whats causing these symptoms for 8+ years and I believe its caused by Celiac. Ive had a blood test come back negative so my doctor immediatly writes it off now. Ive seen every type of specialist under the sun and no one can help me. Im currently on a gluten-free diet but have recently learned about reactive foods that can cause the same symptoms as well so im consistenly changing my diet to accomidate. Did anyone else have these symptoms before getting a diagnosis?  Thank-you!

I've gotten to the point of which I'm having dry-heaving episodes because there's nothing left to vomit, and it's incredibly painful and I'm so weak and lightheaded as a result. If I try even taking the tiniest sip of water, doesn't matter how long after I vomit, I start feeling nauseous and I no longer have the energy to try fighting keeping it down. Is there anything I can do to try keeping it down? I've taken prescribed zofran and dicyclomine already.
