Gotta love a store that does that!!! I was recently in Iowa (lots of family there) and I was looking for Old Wisconsin brand brats (they are marked gluten-free). I was shopping at a Hy-Vee. The butcher said they didn't carry that brand but took me to their section on gluten-free foods and also told me some of their meat was gluten-free. It seems that the local Celiac group meets at the Hy-Vee so she was knowlegeable about the disease. They also label the ingredients in their store brands. If I lived in Iowa, I would shop Hy-Vee. Their rotissereiry (sp) chicken is even labeled!!!! Anyway, I live in Minnesota and shop Cub. I called the corp and was told that if I wanted to know about a specific food, they would be glad to check but I needed the UPC code! I thought...."With label reading, it already takes me a long time to shop...like I am going to spend more time copying down UPC codes, calling up the nice customer service lady, having her check the product, and then waiting for her to call me back to let me know if the product is gluten-free so that I can check the UPC code to see if it changed....." Rainbow Foods here also lists ingredients in store brands (some) though I think Cub has better meat and veggies.... Anyway, I transgress....Hurray for the stores that realize how important it is to know what we are going to be putting in our bodies!!! And if I lived in Iowa, I would shop at Hy-Vee!!!!!

Hey -- I LOVE OMNI FOODS!

I live in Boston & go to one that is right near me on Rte. 9 in Chestnut Hill!

It's wonderful, a little pricey, but it all is -- and they've got a huge selection... They even have gluten-free beer, haven't tried it yet though...

      Thank you so much, everyone. For the moment my doctor just has me taking iron but hopefully we can reconnect soon. I'm going to look into genetic testing, too. Great advice all around and I appreciate it--and you can bet I'm going off the PPIs!

      I walk fast for fitness, 4 to 6 km per day. I am also 74 years old. Apart from the Celiac challenge, my lifestyle is healthy. I had a sciatiac nerve pinching under my one foot, with inflamation in my whole shin. It was almost cured, when the other shin started paining and burning. I do stretches, use a natural cooling gel and rest my feet. Can Celiac cause muscle pains/inflamation, or is it just over-excercising?

      I recently started shopping at a nearby Trader Joe's store. I was surprised at the number and variety of (healthy) gluten-free options sold there. I must admit their low prices are also quite tempting. However, I am curious as to the labeling on all their packages. While none of their products are certified as gluten-free, many are identified as 'GLUTEN FREE' on the packaging. Are these items safe for celiacs? Has anyone tried Trader Joe's products and have there been any adverse reactions?

      HI, my doctor suggested one week of consuming gluten before blood tests.  I have been gluten free for 3 years.  Has anyone been through this and will I get exact results after one week of consuming gluten?  I don't even know if I can do this, if I get sick I am not sure if I can continue, any suggestions??  Thanks in advance.

      I did reach out to them on April 4th and left a message. I will try calling again. Thank you!
