Will be traveling to the West and Northwest areas of Chicago in about a week, and thought while I was there, I might like to do some gluten-free shopping. Any good health food stores in the Palatine, Elgin, Aurora area that anyone knows of? I won't have a lot of time, so I can't stray too far off course! Thanks!

Trader Joes or Whole Foods would probably have the most stuff. Whole Foods in Wheaton, I believe it is, is a big supporter of the gluten-free Group up there.

I love Trader Joes. Miss it a lot.

There's several of both of these stores scattered all around up there.

Hi!

There is a store called the Gluten Free Market that is in Buffalo Grove, IL. It is about 10-15 minutes away from Palatine. The entire store is Gluten Free food. That would probably be the easiest for you. Their website is Open Original Shared Link.

There is also a decent health food store called Fruitful Yield, their website is Open Original Shared Link. There is one in Wheeling, Schaumburg, Aurora, and South Elgin, but I know the one in Schaumburg is changing locations this upcoming week and is a mess. Other than that, there are Trader Joe's in the area and their is Whole Foods in Palatine.

Good luck! Let me know if you have questions or need directions. I am pretty familiar with the Northwest suburbs.

Try a Woodman's if you will be around one. They have a pretty good selection, but the biggest bonus is that they are cheap. (At least when compared to the health food stores.)

There is a great store in North Aurora on butterfield Road just east of Route 31. Special Order Market has it's own bakery on premises and has a website - specialordermarket.com

You can see what they have in stock as well as stop in to see what has been baked. You can place an order through e-mail and just pick it up. They are great.

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
