Small world, Crown Point here too. Let me know if you find any stores close by that have good gluten-free food!

Oh yes, the "Herb Thyme" health food store has plenty of baking products (like flour, chocolate, etc...) and "Wiseway Grocery Store" has a wonderful health food store inside with lots of pre-made items such as chocolate chipe cookies which are sooooo wonderful and they are EVERYTHING free!! They have everything from soups to pizza crusts!! Where do you normally shop?

We usually shop at Meijer or Stracks. Wiseway on Main is not far at all, I'll have to check that out.

I just found out about my gluten problem last week so I haven't had a chance to find to many products yet.

Thanks for the tip, looks like a Wiseway run tomorrow!

That's funny because i just found out about my gluten problem about 3 weeks ago. Yes, Wiseway has an actual health food "store" inside of the main store...not just a health food "department" inside the store. Good Luck and let me know if you have any questions :)

Thanks, I really need to get there. I have been doing ok for the last week but I cheated really bad today. We went to the zoo and I did fine. We brought a lunch I had a ham and cheese on a corn tortilla with some gluten free cheese curls. On the way home we were all hungry and brought home Culvers. I had a big cheeseburger on a regular bun and fries. I feel really guilty! I'll have to get to Wiseway and try to start over I guess. I hope I don't pay to big of a price for that cheeseburger tomorrow! Right now I feel OK. This is really hard I don't know if I can do it!

It's really hard, but the outcome is sooo worth it. Plus, if you don't mind cooking you can still have pretty much everything you want. Cheseburgers just buy gluten-free buns, pizza just buy gluten-free pizza crust and sauce, tacos use corn tortillas and make your own taco meat seasoning, fry or bake your own french fries, all the gluten-free pasta in the world with homemade meat sauce or meatballs. Steaks, pork chops, chicken (all perdue is gluten-free), etc... If you hate cooking maybe you have a loving family member who can help you out. I will say i completely understand when it comes to going out to eat. My hubby, myself, and the kids went to Outback Steakhouse last week specifically because they have an entire gluten free menu...and it ended up being unavailable at that time!! So, needless to say, i had a plain salad (no croutons) with olive oil, lemons, and salt. Oh well, at least i got out and had a glass of wine :)

morganb,

I am from Indiana, but down south. I am in Evansville. I just started experimenting with diet. It is so much better than relying on tests that are not very accurate. I do not have insurance, so affordability is an issue. I am 23, and have had misery for over ten years! It is difficult having to watch others eat what you cannot, but considering how ill you become, it is really not that worth it! It is better to eat what you tolerate.

Sincerely,

NoGluGirl

I haven't had lunch with your mom yet but the place was my suggestion. We have a tenative date set for the next time she is back in B-town!

NoGluGirl - I did the diet first, refused testing but agreed to a biopsy, which was negative. I actually told my doc that I refused to do a gluten challenge for testing and was happy that I felt better. She was fine with that and now that I have been gluten-free (and all the other stuff is fixed) for a while, really don't miss a positive DX for celiac disease.

Indiana born. Lafayette actually. Had severe seasonal allergies and have been in Seattle since 86. Havent been back there since the late 70's. Headed back to Illinois in Nov to attend a B.B. King concert with my older sister.

Seeking out those with Celiac at our church here in Seattle. Having ideas of a WF/gluten-free community dinner in the future there.

I like the chocolate quote by the way.....mostly because I like chocolate!

Be enocouraged!

Hey--I went to dpu ! Graduated in '01. Do you have a car? You're only an hour from Indy and you could come in to stock up on some things. Where are you living on campus?

PS: I'm in Indy :)

I know another new Celiac in Anderson... She comes down to Indy periodically to do shopping... Says there's not much in town there :( Do you have ingredient lists? These great lists are really helpful in shopping, to see what is safe and what isn't. https://www.celiac.com/st_main.html?p_catid=12 Any specific things you are struggling with?

PS: If any of you would be making a trip to Indy--I think I am going to have a local gluten-free pitch-in this fall. If you'd be interested, send me your e-mail...

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that y...

Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
