On Line Shopping

Which on line shopping sites do you recommend for your gluten-free needs? I've found I have to shop at three sites in order to get all my son's favorite items. The on line shopping I do is to suppliment the THREE stores I have to actually go into on foot. It can really get to a person after awhile. Each store I visit whether on line or outdoors, has something essential to my son's pantry. Is this how every Celiac goes about stocking their shelves? Does anyone know of a fabulous on line site for gluten-free products? One stop shopping.....ahhh that will be a magical day.

Good question!! I have one to add: Where do you get the best value on gluten-free products? (Read: where is stuff the cheapest??) I'm thinking of ordering some "staples" and would like some input on where to shop.

Thanks :)

I buy all my bread (I get the egg bread, terrific), baked goodies (the cinnamon rolls and donuts are to die for) and steak pasties from www.grandmaferdons.com. If you live outside the midwest the shipping terms are less favorable, but if you decide to order the food is excellent. Everything is totally made from scratch and there is zero chance of contamination. I buy very little pre-made food apart from this stuff.

I finally got it down to mostly one retail grocery (Kroger). Many of their store brand items are gluten-free and they have great dieticians available by phone. If I have to go to another one for something specific, I try to purchase a lot at a time. I go to Sam's club once a month for meats, cheeses, etc. since I cannot afford them at Kroger.

I use only a handful of mail order places since I cook almost entirely from scratch. I try to order larger amounts to save on time and s/h. If I need to order something from a specific vendor in order to get the appropriate amount, I try to order as many other items from that vendor at the same time as possible. Even if it costs me a dollar or two more, I still save on the s/h over time.

My primary sites are:

Authentic Foods

Bob's Red Mill

Breadbeckers

Gluten free mall

I have used the Gluten Free Trading Company. They have a lot of products and carry a lot of different brands. They are based in WI. I thought their shipping costs were very reasonable, they only charge what it actually costs them to ship your order. I placed 2 orders of about $80 each, one going to OH, one to NC. The shipping was $7-8. I thought their overall pricing was comparable to other online sources.

Does anyone know of a good online company that's from the West Coast? I'm guessing the shipping costs wouldn't be so obscene if they were closer to me! (I'm in Utah!)

Thanks :)

      I'm also a nurse, but one who has worked in chronic care, and to some extent, it is more satisfying to see patients through to a diagnosis (as opposed to working in the ED), but an accurate diagnosis does not occur not as often as it should! Your posting presents a lot of information. But a couple of things I can respond to. One, celiac disease is diagnosed by endoscopy and biopsy of the duodenum. So, pathology will need to weigh in. It's not diagnosed on gastroscopy. (At least, not as far as I know). Two, did you get blood tests for celiac disease? You will need to be eating gluten in order for those to be accurate. Three, where was the CT angiogram (of what)? I could go on and on, but thought I'd start there.

      Was a biopsy done when you had your gastroscopy? Concerning your anemia, are you B12 deficient? It's nearly impossible to get sufficient B12 if you are a vegetarian unless you take supplements.

      And I’m anaemic, however I’m also female and vegetarian. I had an iron trans a couple of years ago however it’s starting to dwindle and taking supplements doesn’t seem to work. I can’t seem to absorb it.

      Hi, I attended a neurologist appt last Tuesday, which I nearly cancelled, due to ongoing numbness and tingling in toes to mid foot. One of the first things he asked was ‘are you celiac’. I’m not. He thought all reflexes were ok but at the last minute decided on nerve conduction tests which were low normal. He was a little confused as he felt they should be better and tried a new set of probs, all the time, giving me multiple shocks which were not enjoyable lol. Anyway, he’s now ordered tests for myeloma, and all the vitaminy things that so many of you mention on here, also tests looking for autoimmune responses. I already have Hashimotos. Interestingly, to me, but maybe someone out there can relate or knows more than i do, although I was a nurse, but ED not ‘weird symptoms’  nurse. Anyway back to the interesting thing, I took duramine in 2013 to lose weight which caused a massive panic attack when I stopped taking it and half my hair fell out. I only took it for a week but it was horrible and I regret it. It triggered ongoing panic attacks which are horrendous. So I feel like I’m a bit crazy. Then in 2020 I had this sudden onset of horrible pain when trying to eat a cinnamon roll. It continued and I lost around 20 kgs. I had two gastroscopes and a colonoscopy and they were all normal. I scored a barium swallow and CT angiogram. All normal. The pain subsided a little but I was left with reflux and an awful feeling that I couldn’t get air when I ate some foods. This was not anxiety.  The anxiety was separate and I still maintain this. This was something to do with eating. It was like the air was thick but I wasn’t short of breath. I just had the sensation I was, then it triggered anxiety. Anyway, I had other weird things- couldn’t bend knees to shave legs in shower lol. Knees felt stiff and swollen but they weren’t. Knee WOUld swell up randomly but mri showed minimal issues. A bit of a meniscus degeneration but insignificant. Then the buzzing sensations in my head, the feeling like someone was stabbing me with something sharp. So now, I pre empted his tests, although I don’t think I’m celiac because it should have come up on gastroscopy, I’ve gone off gluten. Since Tuesday last week so 9 days. Since then I don’t appear to be as constipated, I realised I got through today without a nap and I’m not tired, maybe it’s just today and not related but I get very tired normally and sleep straight after work often, I can bend my knees and shave my legs lol, the buzzing vibrating has gone from my head, I had to call and ambulance as my heart decided we were off on a run, but we weren’t running and I’ve been a bit twitchy at bed time when trying to sleep, reflux is improving, I did get the weird suffocating feeling a bit when eating today but not as bad normall. Tingling and numbness still present and I felt like it moved up my legs a bit today but I’m a bit jittery. So I don’t know if it’s celiac disease or a gluten intolerance but I think, and it may be wishful thinking because my symptoms do make life a bit challenging, but maybe I’m feeling better. I don’t feel as cloudy. My thinking feels crisper. Like there’s no buzzing and I’m not fighting to break through the cloudiness now. I hope so much that this may help me feel a bit better moving forward. It would be a miracle as I really have struggled to work and parent and keep the house clean and I’m always anxious and exhausted.  If you get this far, please tell me if you you can relate to any of the above. Oh and tonsils out 5 years ago but before that antibiotics multiple times a year, sometimes intramuscular because they were so bad.  Op was meant to take 30 mins, it took 1.5 hours due to size of them.
