I have found 4 different grocery stores in my area now that carry gluten free food, no more shopping at the health food store for us!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gluten free waffles for cheaper than the gluten-full counterparts, gluten free cake mixes, even gluten free bread at under $4 a loaf. I am so excited, it seems that gluten free really is going mainstream, at least here anyway.

I found out from one of the managers at one of the stores that if you can get them a name brand and upc that most of the time stores will stock whatever you want. I thought that this was wonderful information that I should pass along, we all know that shopping gluten free can be a hassle, think how much easier it would be if we could all get our favorite gluten free food at the regular grocery store :D

I know that the diet is expensive, I was just thinking since the mark-up doesn't seem to be so high, that maybe some of you could scout out your own local stores and ask for some gluten free stuff, believe me it's worth the time.

I just discovered that Stop & Shop has a good variety of gluten-free items in their health food section.

Isn't it exciting to find gluten-free food in the grocery store!!!

I always have to just "look" at the gluten-free section even if I'm not buying anything. You never know they might be carrying something new. ;)

I'm pretty lucky in that alot of stores around me carry gluten-free foods plus theres one store that is pretty much ALL gluten-free....they have just about everything.

Now if I could just get the grocery store where I work to carry something...anything gluten-free...that would be GREAT. I work for a major grocery chain and they look at me like I have 4 heads when I ask about getting some gluten-free foods. :huh:

You should print out a copy of the following article and bring it into the store you work at:

Maybe that will change their minds.....

      Celiac symptoms

      By Dana0207 · Posted

      Thank you so much for your replies. Luckily the rash went away when I completely swore off gluten. It took several months but I have not had a flare in months. So a biopsy is no longer possible. The itch was terrible and apart from bleaching my skin the steroid lotions and potions did nothing. The Gliadin is for accidents and shall be a part of my travel kit from now on. This past exposure has made a me a little leery about eating anything that was not cooked in my kitchen or a dedicated gluten-free restaurant. As much as I used to love baked goods, I am cured and have become quite the gluten free baker to the point that friends and family forget that my cakes/cookies/and bread are not "real". I guess I will have to wait for the new blood test to come out to get confirmation but I have a suspicion that the rash was dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Nateral remedies

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill

      Celiac symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      Kan-101

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      So just to be cautious, there is a big difference between cured, and responding to their medication. I assume you mean that your daughter responded well while taking KAN-101 during the trial, but the drug would not cure celiac disease, but may manage it while you are taking it. Let me know if I got this right.
