ellenaterMemberHi there WS peoples :)
My little guy is gluten free and also primarily dairy free . I searched on here but didn’t see a post devoted to this…
I know PCC Market has his bread and some other basics. Whole Foods over here has quite a bit too, but isn’t there some delay with the one over there?
Does anyone know of anything else over there? Even if it’s a cafe’ that sells one type of cookie, it’s good to know.
Over here, we have Davinci’s which is AWESOME. That is the one thing I will really miss.
Any other GF/Celiacs on here?
Thanks!

SueParticipantHi ellenator – I’ve recently had to eliminate wheat, dairy, coffee and sugar, so I can relate. I’ve been relying on PCC and Whole Foods for much of what I need. Admittedly, I’m doing it for inflammatory reasons not celiac/IBS, so it’s not like I get sick if I eat any of it, so I do go out to eat a lot and not worry about what’s in my food down to miniscule ingredients – I do have other allergies though, so I know what it’s like to have to analyze stuff.
As for the WS Whole Foods, they are breaking ground for the construction later this month. So I don’t expect we’ll see it here for quite some time.
I did find this link for gluten-free dining in Seattle, although I don’t think any are specifically in WS: http://www.innatehealthfoundation.org/5_d.htm
And this link of reviews on Yelp re: gluten-free Seattle: http://www.yelp.com/search?find_desc=gluten+free&find_loc=Seattle+WA

JenVMemberthe little health food store next to Pagliacci has a big “gluten and wheat free” sign in the window. Amazon Fresh is also a good resource for wheat and gluten free items.
mt stepmom is wheat and gluten allergic. I will pick her brain too to see where she goes.

rs261MemberMy wife just recently discovered her wheat gluten allergy, so I’ll make her come on here and post, sometime…
Sundays at the market is the flying apron bakery, gluten free, vegan, lots of good tasty stuff.
Other then that, PCC, and even thriftway carry some items. PCC is labeled much nicer though, as they say gluten free on most of the price tags.

SueParticipantI forgot about Flying Apron at the farmers market – their stuff is amazing! I just bought a loaf of their house bread that’s made with rice and garbanzo flour and pumpkin. Their store is in Fremont, but they’re at the market in WS each weekend. http://www.flyingapron.net/
June 4, 2008 at 6:45 pm #626209
ellenaterMemberthanks. I figured there has to be some stuff.
JenV, is that on California above the Alaska junction? I’ve never seen that! Have you used Amazon Fresh?
I’ve been to Flying Apron, too. The owner if SUPER nice and went out of her way to make us a pizza crust to bake at home. Really good person. Glad to know the farmer’s market has their stuff. Good news for the kiddo. Those honeys ticks they have there are also yummy.

JenVMemberellenater- yes it is. on the NW corner of California and Alaska streets next to an insurance office, Pagliacci and some really cool shoe store…I don’t know what it is called, though.
Amazon Fresh is great. If you do a search on the WSB, we have discussed many times. What is great about AF, you can narrow your search to wheat/gluten free and it will only show those items…

GenHillOneParticipantWe were recently at Morgan/WS Thriftway (thread here reminded me that I hadn’t been there for awhile) and I noticed a pretty substantial gluten-free dry pasta section. Since it’s not an issue for me, I don’t know that I would usually notice, but I was intrigued by the idea of a corn pasta. Made a note to return after I make a better dent in the pasta supply I already have!
June 4, 2008 at 8:54 pm #626212
JenVMemberurg. NW corner of California and OREGON streets. sorry ’bout that.
June 4, 2008 at 8:55 pm #626213
SueParticipantActually, that health food store next to Pagliacci is near the NW corner of California and Oregon (not Alaska). That’s one block north of Alaska.
June 5, 2008 at 1:50 am #626214
seattlesueMemberNot sure, but I think someone said Coffee to Tea on California had some allergy friendly baked goods. Not sure if it is gluten or something else, but it might be worth a look.
June 5, 2008 at 2:07 am #626215
ellenaterMemberThanks!
There was an article in Seattle Woman last month that was all about gluten free. I’ll try to find the info. and post it. Very good article and the author has also written a book called, “Gluten Free Girl”. It contains advice on living with celiac disease…
June 5, 2008 at 2:41 am #626216
TammiWSMemberHeres her blog – my friend saw her speak and loved her!
http://glutenfreegirlabout.blogspot.com/
Also, her hubby is a chef at Impromtu Wine Bar – off Madison. They will prepare gluten free meals on request.

alkivikingParticipantAlthough it is not is WS Cafe Flora is Gluten/Dairy free is very yummy!
June 5, 2008 at 3:31 am #626218
mhogfossMemberHere is a great gluten free bakery in Seattle. They have an entire gluten free menu.
June 5, 2008 at 3:43 am #626219
amydunnParticipantBelieve or not the Outback Steakhouse has a gluten-free menu. The closest one I know of is Bellevue, but it might be an option if you’re looking for a night out with the fam.
June 5, 2008 at 4:07 am #626220
SueParticipantAmy, there’s also an Outback near Southcenter Mall.
June 5, 2008 at 6:27 am #626221
ellenaterMemberOK, from the article: “…Gluten-Free Menus or Items” I don’t think any of these are in West Seattle other than goods from Flying Apron.
Bliss Baked Goods
DaVinci Cafe’ and Bakery
The Flying Apron
Sunny Valley Wheat Free
PF Chang’s China Bistro
Outback Steakhouse
Bonefish Grill
Emory’s on Silver Lake
Lucky Palate Meal Delivery Service
The article also mentioned Seattle based Dr. Stephen Wangen, and goes on to say that he is cofounder and medical director of the IBS Treatment Center in Seattle which diagnosis and treats food allergies and gluten intolerance. He has a book out, also:
“The Irritable Bowel Syndrome Solution”
I can say that most insurance companies do not cover this testing. Maybe with the prevalence of celiacs, that will change.

rs261MemberHey all! I’m rs261’s wife Laura! I have a few questions about the little guy’s allergies. Can he tolerate oat, barley or buckwheat? Where is he with dairy?
As far as grocery stores in the area, PCC and Thriftway are the closest w/the largest selections. PCC is great because they have vegan “wheat-free” ready made baked goods!
If you have the time and are willing to drive to Burien, the Trader Joes and Fred Meyers have a good selection of products at better prices than the previous. Our Safeway also has some items but sometimes it can be hit or miss on availability.
If you ever have a hankering for a burger, Zippy’s on 16th & Holden will be more than accommodating to your boy’s needs. They have offered to change their frying oil because they fry onion rings and french fries in the same oil! Really great people there! There are a lot of good places to eat here but as you probably know you have to pick and chose your way through menus!
If you have more questions email me @ rueshouse@ gmail.com
Congratulations on your move and welcome to West Seattle!
June 6, 2008 at 2:20 am #626223
ellenaterMemberWow, thanks Laura. That is really good info. He doesn’t do dairy but can do a little as compared to gluten, none. We do McCann’s oats because they are supposedly processed without gluten. We do wheat-free Barbara’s occasionally during non-allergy season.
We are very excited about Zippy’s! I will miss Trader’s like crazy so will have to find that Burien one!
Somebody needs to open a G/F cafe in West Seattle!
Thanks again! That info. is invaluable to me!

SueParticipantI was at River House Creperie today for the first time, and saw on their printed menu a Gluten Free section that says “We serve a variety of Gluten-Free options, including Gluten-free crepes, brown rice tortilla wraps, cheese and veggie plates, and others. Check in to find out about our other Gluten-Free specials.”
Their website is http://www.riverhousecreations.com – I would call and confirm the gluten-free options since it doesn’t seem to mention it on their website.

FullTiltParticipantHey try Squid and Ink in Gtown. Mostly GF, and Vegan. They are a great group of people running that place.
oh, and we have vegan gluten free ice cream too.
July 17, 2008 at 6:26 pm #626226
ellenaterMemberWhere is Gtown? I suppose I could Google them. That’s funny, my little guy is all about squids.
July 29, 2008 at 5:20 am #626227
SueParticipantI was at Great Harvest bakery in the junction today and saw that they are starting to make gluten free bread. They had 2 varieties today, and they have a list of people interested in it and who are suggesting other variations such as gluten, dairy and/or egg free, all of which they are considering. If you’re interested in gluten/dairy/egg-free bread, get in touch with them to make your preferences known so they’ll know what recipes to work out next.

JanSParticipantellenator..Gtown is Georgetown…just down the road a piece :)
