We are moving in two weeks to Frederick, MD. I need to know if there are any healthfood stores in the area that have gluten free products. I am spoiled here and have EarthFare, which has all the Kinnikinnick products, etc.

Also, I have kids and I am wondering what there is to do there. Great parks, lakes, camping, etc.

Restaurants that have gluten free, if any?

Thanks alot,

Monica

Hi Monica,

I live in Westminster - which isn't too far far from Frederick. I know someone who shops in a health food store in Frederick, but I don't know the name of it - I will find out for you. Depending on where in town you are moving - if you are anywhere near Route 15, you can head into Gettysburg, PA, which has a nice health food store called The Rose Garden. Gettysburg also has a Celiac Support Group. It's also a fun and educational area for families to spend the day.

You won't be far from Thurmont, where Camp David is located. They have a lake, hiking and camping in the area.

You also won't be too far from West Virgiania and the Washington, DC area. Once you get settled, you will have plenty of places to explore.

Good luck with the move.

Cindy,

I am somewhat familiar with MD. I was born there and my dad was born and raised in Westminster. All his siblings and mom live on the same road in Westminster still. My parents live in Martinsburg, WV and my husbands family lives in Columbia, MD. I haven't spent alot of time in Frederick. Mainly just traveled through, so I don't know much about it. I have been to the mall, but don't remember much about it. So it will be pretty much all knew to me. I am excited about having family near me. We were going to live in Columbia, but at the last minute decided that we wanted to have a descent house with nice yard for our boys and the cost of living in Columbia is outrageous!

Thanks for the ideas about Gettysburg.

Monica

You might want to contact KaitiUSA. I believe that she is in that neck of the woods.

Small world I guess. I grew up in Columbia maryland, moved to Ellicott City maryland, then to arizona. I used to shop at roots in Clarksville but that would be a hike for you. If you are near 270 you can get on that and ride into rockville that has a whole foods.

We will be in Columbia some and I have been to a Whole FOods in Silver Spring when visiting my inlaws. I still like my Earthfare here in Tennessee better. Mainly because they have Kinnikinnick products, which I didn't find at Whole Foods. Maybe I just missed it.

Yeah, it is a small world.

My "hometown" is Gettysburg, went to school in Emmitsburg (20 min from Fred.) and I worked in Howard County (drove through Frederick).

I believe the name of the health food store in Frederick is the Common Market. As far as restaurants, they have Chipotle, Panera, Outback and probably a few other chains that offer a gluten-free meal, but I don't know much else. Frederick is in a good location for being able to get into B-more or D.C. without toooo long...

btw - I totally agree about land prices is Columbia/Howard County. It used the be that Montgomery county was the most expensive, now it's expanded into HoCo. Be glad that you got something in Frederick when you did!

Lauren,

We are excited about the house we are renting. It is bigger then our house now and fairly new. We are only living there for a year for my husband to do fellowship at University of Maryland. He will probably really dislike his commute, but I know alot of other people do it. It is only a year. I like going to the city, but not living in it.

Thanks for the tips of restaurants, etc. I am sure I will find my way.

I totally hear ya on wanting to be "near" the city, but not "in" it. Frederick is growing really quickly though, so it sometimes has that city feel (I know, I've sat in many a traffic jam in Frederick on Rte 15 on my way home from work).

I don't remember the Common Market having Kinnikinnick, but I haven't been there since they moved to the new store. They did have a pretty good selection and decent prices, though, from what I remember. Sorry, if I go home, I usually go to Rose Garden in G-burg.

You definitely have to get hooked up with the G-burg Celiac Support Group - it's the best! (ok, I may be a bit biased...) They're trying to do a lot more activities now, and of course, I'm 3 hours away at school haha.

Let us know how it goes!

I have heard Frederick traffic is bad. My dad travels through there everyday, but he goes on off hours.

I would love to join a good support group. HOw far away is Gettysburg? I know of it, but not where it is.

WHere are you in school at? Are you married yet?

Thanks for your help. I have to find Kinnikinnick products somewhere. I am sure I will. My mom has a store in WV that I think she has gotten some at before for us.

Monica,

G-burg is only about a half hour away from Frederick. I'm pretty sure they would be your closest support group. I know that when I attend meetings, we have people from Frederick and other parts of MD there. The meetings are at the G-burg Hospital, AND the Rose Garden (just around the corner) does have Kinnikinnick products.

I'm in grad school at Drexel University in Philly (living just outside the city in NJ right now). I got my bachelors from Mount St. Mary's (not too far from Frederick!) in Maryland. When I finish up at Drexel, sometime within the next year, I intend to move to Maryland, close to my job in Howard County... if I can afford it! I love the area and still get back there when I have the chance. When people ask where I live, I usually give them 3 answers haha - Philly/Jersey, G-burg, and Howard Co., MD.

And while traffic on Rte 15 through Frederick can be bad, I have to say that I adore downtown Frederick. It is so cute and charming - a really fun town to walk around and window shop!

THanks Lauren,

We like Columbia, but we are used to having a yard for our kids. It came down to last minute and we couldn't find a place there, so we are going to Frederick. I hope I like it. I am sure it will be good. We have family close by, so hopefully I will survive. It is for a year. That part is hard, but hopefully it will be a fun year.

Sounds like you have been all over the place. We have been all over, but we are coming back to Knoxville, TN for a few years. WE like the cost of living, sun and lakes here and hubby's job.

Take care,

Monica

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Heat intolerant... Yikes

      The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium. Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend...

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.

      The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
