The gluten-free Gourmet by Betty Hagman has a recipe for it. It's way too long to post, but any book store or even healthfood store should have it. Good luck!

Hi Lisa, I get the cheese ravioli from the Dietary Shoppe which is in Philadelphia.

The web is http/www.dietaryshoppe.com . They also have stuffed shells and lasagna, all frozen. I am pretty sure they ship the frozen foods but since it is local I have never tried. I have also discovered that a company called Nuovo pasta make gluten-free potato gnocchi that is available at WHole Foods but not in my area. They can be ordered by the case and the phone is 203-380-4090 ext. 111.

Good Luck,

KathyB

Hi Guys, Thank you for the info. Hey, Kathy B. I live in Collegeville, Pa. I never heard about the Dietary Shoppe. I'm headed to the web site now. It takes about 40 minutes for me to drive into Philly so I see a road trip in the very near future. Thank you, thank you, thank you, This forum is AWESOME! I can't wait for a Ravioli again, Bye for now, and truthfully, thank you, Lisa :P

Lisa and Sara, I do believe the ravioli is from the company Dietary Specialties but I don't have any in right now. Lisa, The Dietary SHoppe is a must trip. The store is almost entirely gluten free except for a few speciality foods for PKU? and diabetics.

They have both frozen and dry goods and the shopowner is Celiac and can give you lots of help. Try the Bi-Aglut dry pasta. It is like no other gluten-free PASTA. They also carry ready made frozen pizza fromFoods By George which are pretty good. My daughter is going to Gwynedd-Mercy College and I know it is not far from Collegeville since I grew up in Conshohocken. Can you recommend any shops or restaurants in the area?

Kathy

Hi Kathy, We really don't eat out to often, I have a 4 year old son, and a 8 1/2 month old son, who really don't like to sit still that long. We do order out sushi from Fuji San which is the best sushi around. Its located right off of 422 at the Royersford exit. Were going to the Dietary shoppe on Saturday, I can't wait. Thanks again, Lisa:)

Thanks Lisa - maybe by the time the kids get a little older their will be more restaurant choices for you. I gave the dietician at Gwynedd the business card from the Dietary Shoppe and she is going to order some of my daughter's favorites. Good luck on Saturday.

Hi Everyone, the family and I took the short trip to the Dietary Shoppe on Saturday, WOW the place is fantastic. I finnally got my ravioli's they were amazing. I also got chocolate dounuts, cinnamon bunns, onion bagels, mushroom soup mix, and some other goodies. The owner was a dietician at a hospital and decide to open her own store. She has been in this location for two months. Previously she was in Chestnut Hill. Everything I've tasted so far was excellent, not chewy or gross. I really love the dounuts......Well if you have never been there, it is a must or check out the web site. Thanks everyone for all the info, YOU"RE THE BEST!!!!!!! :D

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better. Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor. PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12. Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the...

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1. There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine. In Thiamine deficiency, the body...

      In the study linked above, the little girl switched to a gluten free diet and gained enough weight that that fat pad was replenished and surgery was not needed.   Here's the full article link...

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
