So, a few days ago i posted a recipe that i got from the flyer of a store in midtown manhattan. Well everyone loved the recipe so i decided to email the store and thank them, b/c i find that they always have lots of gluten-free products and I like to reward stores that make the extra effort. Well, this is the response i got IMMEDIATELY, i seriously love this store!!!

Thanks for the kind words. We do try to carry alot of gluten free items and if they sell we will keep them in the store. The ones that do not sell, we try to replace with other gluten free products. I wish we had a bigger store so we could create a section for gluten free products, but i personally think it is good how we have all the products mixed in with the categories they belong to ( like gluten-free cookies with cookies, etc) because that will make people read ingredients more closely, as certain people who have gluten allergies or sensitivities can not eat certain non gluten producing grains. I think knowledge is so much more important than convenience.

We just got a new line of gluten free cookies and granola in today as well. The company is Kate's Baked Goods and we got 4 different packages of cookies and one granola in to try. They are in aisle 3 right past the juices.

Thanks for your patronage of our store and your feedback!

It is a lovely letter and good business sense to make sure that people with special dietary concerns are not excluded.

      Multivitamins are generally not potent enough to effective address significant deficiencies.

      Try a multivitamin maybe it will cover what you are deficient in.

      Refractory Celiac disease - what to do

      By cristiana · Posted

      Agreed, and I can't remember exactly and haven't got time to check, but I think my blood didn't normalise for eight years! For years I read this forum thinking why can't I get my numbers down - everyone else manages to.   But my gastroenterologist didn't seem to worry about it, which makes me think he either thought I wasn't complying to the diet, or he'd seen similar cases.

      Celiac Disease Comprehensive Panel

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, being off gluten for 3 months would likely yield negative results. To get accurate testing redone you would need to restart gluten consumption for several weeks (the "gluten challenge") to the tune of at least 10g of gluten daily (about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread).
