Can anyone who is familiar with the area recommend some good restaurants with gluten free options? My husband is there this weekend with our young celiac son. We know about the bigger chains like In-n-Out, Chik-Fil-A, Chipotle, Subway just wondering if there are some other good places as well. They'll be around La Habra Heights, Hacienda Heights, Chino, Huntington Beach.

Also, kind of a totally different subject, but anything in particular he should pick up at Trader Joe's. Do they have gluten-free sunscreen?

I am not a fan of Trader Joe's. Too much of their stuff is processed on shared lines. I don't know about sunscreen. I don't use it.

The Trader Joe's over there always had this fudgy, brownie-like chocolate cookie that was wheat/gluten free. It was amazing. I don't know if they still have them. They came in a brown paper bag. You'd have to check to make sure they didn't change the ingredients. They have good baked Salt & Pepper chips there, too.

As far as restaurants, In N Out burger, Melting Pot, Crabby Joe's, El Pollo Loco, and others I've blogged about when I lived in CA.

The FIND ME GLUTEN FREE app has gotten much better, with many more places near your geo-location.

There should be tons of searchable pizza places on regular search engines, as well as BJ's Brewery & Grille which has a gluten free fried pizookie now, I hear.

We have El Pollo Loco here in AZ, I wouldn't recommend that to anybody.

Their gluten information on their website is poor, and they didn't answer an email I sent to them regarding gluten free items. Not even with a "thank you for your inquiry".

Theoretically they could have a great gluten-free menu, but they aren't yet approaching it that way in Arizona.

      Testing for celiac

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Bebee, Yes, Celiac Disease has genetic commonalities with MS, hypothyroidism, arthritis, Reynaud, and rosacea.   Usually a gluten challenge is done before endoscopy with biopsies taken,  however I would not recommend a gluten challenge before endoscopy with biopsies for you since you have been gluten free for so long and have so many concurrent autoimmune diseases.   You can still have the endoscopy with biopsy samples taken now.  After several months with dietary changes, you can have another to compare results and check that intestinal health has improved.   You can get a genetic test for Celiac disease which shares genetics with other autoimmune diseases that you have.  Eating gluten is unnecessary for genetic tests. For the rosacea, get checked for SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) that could be causing gastrointestinal symptoms as well as causing skin issues.  Our skin is a reflection of our gastrointestinal health.     Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet has been helpful in keeping my own rosecea, eczema, and dermatitis herpetiformis and other autoimmune diseases in check.   Be sure to be checked for nutritional deficiencies that occur easily in gluten free and dairy free diets. Keep us posted on your progress! References: Clustering of autoimmune diseases in patients with rosacea https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26830864/ And...

      I am new here, I have been diagnosed with Microscopic Colitis (Lymphatic) years ago and have been gluten-free, DF since, but I still can have occasional bouts of diarrhea (still trying to figure that out).  I also have MS, Hypothyroid, Arthritis, Reynaud's and my rosacea has been acting up lately.  What treatment is suggested to help with rosacea?  I would like to know too if there is a test for celiac if you have been gluten-free?   Thank you, Barb

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      Well, that's interesting. I am lactose intolerant and have been managing that for years. I'd be interested in seeing if that changes once I feel better from not eating gluten (one thing at a time for now, though). Helpful to hear about the avenin. I will do some digging and pose that to the dietitian. Grateful for your feedback.
