I just got the e-mail notice too, and although I've never been there it's definitely sad news.

First "To Life," now "Happy Happy Happy" :(

It is sad , I thought it would do really well. I went there a bunch of times when they first opened but then found a brand of cookie and deserts I actually liked better. I recommend them highly they are called Kates Baked goods. The cookies and brownies are so good. One of the restaurants in the GFRAP Bistango (great food!!!) has even started selling their biscotti for desert. You guys should check them out- the goods do not taste gluten free at all- theya re delicious everyone in my family is addicted to them and I am the only one with celiac.

They sell them at Westerly and Integral Yoga. I asked at Integral and the women there said they were very accomadating and if you email them they will deliver them. The address she gave me was katesgoods@gmail.com. You really have to try them, I have been meaning to eamil them to see what else they selll so if you do let me know what they say about delivering.

Hey all,

I emailed kates Baked goods and placed an order. They sent me a sweet email and apologized for not having their website up and a product list so I was still able to order. I can't wait til it gets here!!!

It's sad that Happy Happy Happy is closing...but I think Open Original Shared Link is actually better. It's not far from where Happy is/was, and everything I've had so far has been delicious.

I'm glad you said that b/c i have been wondering about babycakes for a while now-- do you have any idea what their hours are? I have tried to go there twice now and both times they were closed! I'm dying to try it :P

I'm not entirely sure of their hours; I've only been in the evenings. The phone number is 212 677 5047, and there's a sign on their website that says they're now delivering in Manhattan...so hopefully, you'll be able to try them soon! I liked the carrotcake cupcakes the best, but they also had a tasty-looking chocolate-brownie concoction.

It seems like all gluten friendly places have weird hours. They like to make our lives more difficult. Ok But I just wanted to let you guys know that I got my delivery from Kates Baked Goods today and the stuff is great. My roommate( non celiac) and I split the brownie and both agree its one of the best we've had- gluten free or not. I got a bunch of the cookies too and cannot wait to try them. You guys should really look into them

I have to say, while of course it's sad when we lose any of our few options, I won't miss Happy Happy Happy nearly as much as I would Risotteria, both because I much prefer Risotteria's cookies and because I found the people at Happy Happy Happy a little snotty - I was so excited to be getting gluten-free baked goods (that I didn't have to make myself) and they kind of made me feel uncomfortable.

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      Hey @Butch68, I also have dermatitis herpetiformis but don't suffer from it anymore. I used to drink Guinness too but I drink Cider now when out on social occasions.

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley...

      Gluten Issues and Vitamin D

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease. Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too. is this everyone’s experience? Can I drink it?

I'm not sure if they are certified though. https://www.9whitedeer.ie/ I haven't come across any certified gluten-free stouts this side of the pond.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.
