i had an appt. in boise yesterday (2 1/2 hours away) while there, we checked out a new store that has been opened up by a mother of celiac twins that goes to the same ped gi we do. EVERTHING in her store was gluten free----no label reading required. even though the store was small, i have never seen so many different gluten free products in one place. i am so excited about this place----i just wish it wasn't so far away for us. this is also the first time i have talked to anyone else that has twins with celiac. (her husband also has celiac) they are also having a kids celiac support group meeting tonight, but it is too far for us to drive on a school night---i really wish we could go. maybe they will have some this summer that we can attend.

On State Street and Glenwood in Boise Idaho there is a place that makes gluten free pizza called pizzalchik. Usually they like you to call in advance to make sure they have gluten free dough ready to go. They are very careful about cross contamination and make a good healthy gluten free pizza. They also make gluten free cheesecakes.

I too will be visiting family in Boise this summer, so if I get the info correctly, it is Jake's Place in Meidian Idhao......? Any possibility of more definitive address? Also, is there a bakery in Boise area or someplace to buy ready made baked goods, ie bread so I don't have to haul stuff with me or buy ingredients and have to bake there. Thanx.

I would be heading to Cedar City Utah, but unfortunatley we had to cancel the trip. But I did get to go to a gluten free store in Vancouver, WA. It was fantastic!

This is an old post but I recently found the store too. Its still there right next to the big red barn. Uncle Ron, sorry I can't answer your Q???. There is a store in downtown Nampa for some gluten free foods but I have never been there. Do you ever go to the Boise Co-Op? It has some things. Do you know of any other places in Treasure Valley?? I wish we had a Traders and a Whole Foods. :(

Christine if you are still around lets chat. I have a daughter 17 today :) and a daughter in Boise thats almost 20 and Christina is her name B) . Pizzalchik is in the phone book, 7330 W. State. Thanks for the info, I will be sure to tell my daughter :D She will love the cheesecake and a new place to eat with her college friends! I will for sure take my 17 yr old too!

Something else. I just called them and Pizzalchik has roasted chicken too. A 12" cheese gluten-free pizza is 10 bucks. Call several hours ahead of time to preorder the pizza. Not "fast food" ;) They still have cheesecake.

Wow, another Idahoan on the forum! Thats great, I'm mostly a lurker but have been to Jakes Place numerous times. Its great to have a store that you know everything is safe to eat in. Did you also know that just down the road (going west) is a restaurant that serves gluten free pizza and pasta? Its Louie's Italian Restaurant and its *really* good. They don't have a gluten free kitchen, but they are well aware of cross contamination issues and my mother and I have never had a problem there, they are very careful. Its not exactly cheap, but its yummy and you don't have to call ahead of time.

Wow, that's great. I will tell my daughter. She is only mildly allergic so that's perfect. Thanks :D My husband used to eat at Louie's years ago. I think there is one in Sun Valley but I have never been there. Where are you from?

I live in Emmett, its a small town so I have to do most of my shopping in Meridian/Boise. I guess you could say I'm pretty much asymptomatic when it comes to gluten so unless I eat it every day all day I can't tell I've gotten into something. My mom is very sensitive though and has eaten at Louie's a lot and has never had a problem. They even brought her out a new dessert on the house to try out for them so I know they are trying to enhance their gluten-free menu. Its really good food too, and its right on the menu that they can make almost anything gluten free. Louie's is one of the only places my whole family is able to eat at because we have some picky eaters! Red Robin is the other place we can all go since they make their fries gluten-free. Yum!

Where are you from? Its rare that I see/hear about anyone from Idaho with Celiac.

Born and raised in Caldwell and moved to Garden Valley 7 yrs ago. Been thru Emmett many times. Great info THANKS! I get my gluten-free stuff at the Boise Co-op. Have you ever been there? It is a bit cheaper than Jakes. But you have to look for it where as Jakes its all there right in front of you. My daughter usually eats at Chapala's but its not gluten-free. She just orders carefully. I called Pizzalchik. There web is Pizzalchik.com. They don't list gluten-free items on it though.

I do shop at the Co-Op once in awhile. I haven't lately just because we haven't been down in that area for awhile. Its such a toss up because Jake's is all gluten free but more expensive and the Co-Op is a bit cheaper and I get a discount there with my BSU Student card but the parking is horrible and its always packed inside. I'm not going to complain though, I'm just glad we have a few places to shop around here!

      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.
