Gluten Free Foods - Portland,OR

If you ask at the info desk at New Season's they'll help you out
too. They know lots of the gotchas. If you cook simple foods with minimal processed things you'll be all right. There are lots of hidden sources so you have to careful of any processed foods. Rice, corn (including corn tortillas), meats (but not processed, other than bacon and ham are usually ok), vegies, cheese (except blue), tofu. Even if you get gluten free bread for toast, you have to not make it in your toaster or you can cross contaminate it. Some people are that sensitive, others aren't. For best results you probably want to go pretty much entirely gluten free while they're at your house. But that's not too terrible, tacos, rice stir fry, roast meat and baked potatoes.

Also, Bob's Red Mill (which is down off hwy 224) has an extensive selection of gluten free baking mixes.

Also, for gluten free restaurants: the Hawthorne Fish house has fabulous gluten free fish and chips. (They batter with rice flour.) They even have gluten free beer, which I tasted recently and it's thoroughly weird, but might appeal to some.

Lifesource and the health food store in the mall. Lifesource is off of commercial where the party depot is. Good Luck!!

The best selection of gluten free foods will be found at New Seasons Market, Whole Foods Market, or Wild Oats. They are usually kept in a section by themselves, but you may find other items in the general product mix. I believe that Fred Meyer also has some gf foods in their natural foods selection.

my favorite places for gf food is whole foods and new seasons. if you want to take the family out to dinner, pf chang's china bistro has a special gluten-free menu. just ask for it when you get there. the chang's spicy chicken and the singapore street noodles are the best gf items on their menu!
