Help
Over the past year my local A &P has been stocking some gluten-free items such as Gluten Free Pantry mixes and cookies; so I wrote the headquarters in Montvale NJ a nice letter thanking them and asking for more stuff like Erewhon gluten-free and Glutino, etc. But thanking them profusely for adding gluten-free to their store.
Just last week mhy local A & P re-arranged their store and removed the entire gluten-free section! Removed as in no longer going to have gluten-free section! I spoke to someone there about it and they said that they'd find another spot for it but that was a week ago and it's still gone.
A & P (and I've been though other service issues with them over past few years) does not care about their customers and providing what their customers need; nor do they care when told. I guess I'll have to do my shopping at Shop Rite now as they have just isolated a section of their store with gluten-free foods.

Husband has Celiac Disease and
Husband misdiagnosed for 27 yrs -
The misdiagnosis was: IBS or colitis
Mis-diagnosed from 1977 to 2003 by various gastros including one of the largest,
most prestigious medical groups in northern NJ which constantly advertises themselves as
being the "best." This GI told him it was "all in his head."
Serious Depressive state ensued
Finally Diagnosed with celiac disease in 2003
Other food sensitivities: almost all fruits, vegetables, spices, eggs, nuts, yeast, fried foods, roughage, soy.
Needs to gain back at least 25 lbs. of the 40 lbs pounds he lost - lost a great amout of body fat and muscle
Developed neuropathy in 2005
Now has lymphadema 2006It is my opinion that his subsequent disorders could have been avoided had he been diagnosed sooner by any of the dozen or so doctors he saw between 1977 to 2003

I hear ya! My local Acme did the exact same thing. When they remodeled the store just before the holidays, the gluten free items just dissapeared.
I'm lucky that I have other stores around that carry lots of gluten-free foods--but they are still a bit of a drive. The Acme is right here in my town.

I know...I love that store, but it's a 20 minute drive. (and worth it!)
But, it was nice to have Gluten Free Pantry items at the Acme since it is so close. I guess I can't really complain though--I'm going to Wegman's later
Deb--Our Shoprite has a small gluten-free aisle, too. Not the greatest selection--but it actually saved me at the holidays. I had been to Wegman's, Whole Foods and the health food store and they were all out of the GFP pie crust mix. I stopped at Shoprite, not really expecting to find it, and they had several! It was funny because they only carry about 5 or 6 GFP products.

Patti:
by the way, is the Kenny Chesney song about "Alcohol" on any album?

I'm not sure which song you mean...Kenny Chesney does a lot of songs that deal with alcohol, but none that I know of with that title.
There is a song called "Alcohol"--it's by Brad Paisley. It's on the album called "Time Well Wasted".
