Gf Stores Around Chicago

Will be traveling to the West and Northwest areas of Chicago in about a week, and thought while I was there, I might like to do some gluten-free shopping. Any good health food stores in the Palatine, Elgin, Aurora area that anyone knows of? I won't have a lot of time, so I can't stray too far off course! Thanks!

Trader Joes or Whole Foods would probably have the most stuff. Whole Foods in Wheaton, I believe it is, is a big supporter of the gluten-free Group up there.

I love Trader Joes. Miss it a lot.

There's several of both of these stores scattered all around up there.

Hi!

There is a store called the Gluten Free Market that is in Buffalo Grove, IL. It is about 10-15 minutes away from Palatine. The entire store is Gluten Free food. That would probably be the easiest for you. Their website is Open Original Shared Link.

There is also a decent health food store called Fruitful Yield, their website is Open Original Shared Link. There is one in Wheeling, Schaumburg, Aurora, and South Elgin, but I know the one in Schaumburg is changing locations this upcoming week and is a mess. Other than that, there are Trader Joe's in the area and their is Whole Foods in Palatine.

Good luck! Let me know if you have questions or need directions. I am pretty familiar with the Northwest suburbs.

Try a Woodman's if you will be around one. They have a pretty good selection, but the biggest bonus is that they are cheap. (At least when compared to the health food stores.)

There is a great store in North Aurora on butterfield Road just east of Route 31. Special Order Market has it's own bakery on premises and has a website - specialordermarket.com

You can see what they have in stock as well as stop in to see what has been baked. You can place an order through e-mail and just pick it up. They are great.

      Trying to read my lab results

      By trents · Posted

      You have three celiac disease specific antibody tests that are positive: Endomysial  Antibody IGA (aka, EMA), tTG-IGA, and tTG_IGG. Furthermore, your Immunoglobulin A at 55 is low, meaning you are IGA deficient. This one is not an antibody test for celaic disease per se but a measure of "total IGA" levels and if low (yours is low) it can suppress the individual antibody scores and even cause false negatives. So, yes, it definitely looks like you have celiac disease.   Do not yet begin a gluten free diet as your physician may refer you to a GI doc for an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining for confirmation of the antibody testing. This may help:

      Trying to read my lab results

      By Bayb · Posted

      Hi, I received my labs via email yesterday and have not heard back from my doctor yet. Can anyone tell me if these results indicate I have Celiac?      Endomysial Antibody IgAPositive  Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA6  H0-3 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 3 - Weak Positive 4 - 10 - Positive >10 - Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten-sensitive enteropathy. FImmunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum55  L87-352 (mg/dL) Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgG183  H0-5 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 5 - Weak Positive 6 - 9 - Positive >9

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      Mine is definitely triggered by inflammation and stress! I do also have arthritis in my spine, but the pain is more in my pelvic area. Im sure i have other food intolerances or other autoimmune isues but the more I focus on it and see doctor after doctor, it just gets worse.  Best thing is get of Gluten! (I also avoid lactose). Try to limit stress and anything that causes inflammation in your body.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By ButWhatCanIEat · Posted

      Good morning,   I got an email about replies to this post. Some of my doctors had blamed a slipped disc for the pain I had and that contributes, but after meeting with a gastroenterologist AGAIN and trying some lifestyle modifications, I found out I have IBS and can't tolerate corn or excessive fructose to any degree. Cutting out corn AFTER having cut out all gluten containing products was a real pain but I feel much better now!

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.
