I went to this store today! While they have just opened and still stocking their shelves I was excited about what they had! The man said they would order things if I wanted them, too. They had different Kinnikinnick products, Bob's Red Mill, Amy's, different frozen breads, dry mixes, noodles, cookies, and such. I usually have to head downtown and sometimes into Atlanta to get some of these products!

very cool... just wondering though, if you usually go downtown for your gluten-free stuff, have you ever gone to Life Grocery in Marietta? They have an awesome gluten-free section that just continues to grow!

If I'm ever in Woodstock I'll have to check this place out!

It's still a drive for us to get to Life Grocery and Harry's Farmers Market, though. Plus, they don't carry everything I want, so, I pick up stuff while I am downtown, too.

Harry's gluten-free selection is pretty slim pickins actually, but Life Grocery's selection is growing by leaps and bounds... Ellen, the grocery manager, goes to all of the trade shows and orders as many of the new products as she can, so if you haven't been there in a while you might be surprised as to what they have. If you want to meet there one day I can show you around the store and all the gluten-free stuff I know about... Ellen also said that for anyone that drives a distance to get there (and they get a lot) to call before you drive down to make sure she is stocked up on a lot of things... like right now they are a little low cos they just had their Life Fest last weekend and sold out of a lot of stuff...

anyway, what all kinds of things are you looking to get? If you can't find certain things, Ellen can usually order them for you (if she can get it through her distributors)...

We have been going to Life grocery about three times a month (three Celiacs in my family) for over three years now and they have been very helpful for us (especially getting the Kinnikinnick stuff). I know I will continue to shop there because of what they stand for and I love going to Harry's, too, but it will be nice to have a ten minute drive to this store as well to get whatever I need rather than heading to Life. Plus, it is practically next to where I work!

      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. I assume you are in Ireland or the UK. If it's any good to you ... 9 White Deer based in Cork brew a range of gluten-free products including a gluten-free Stout. 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.

      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.

      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/

      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 get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant reactions to gluten so can’t try it to see for myself.

      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.
