I like the Hyvee's off of Barry Road up north. They have a section of gluten free foods I can't find anywhere else. They even started carrying Bards gluten free beer.

Whole Foods off of Metcalf (97th I think). Wild Oats on 119th. and also most of the Hyvee's in the area have a great gluten free section.

The Wild Oats on 119th Street is much larger and has a much larger selection.

I also shop at the Whole Foods on Metcalf... and the Hy-Vee in Mission. You can only find the gluten-free foods in their "health food" area though. They aren't out in the main grocery area.

Jessica - I swear one of these days we are going to walk right by each other in the store! =)

My new favorite thing is the gluten-free chocolate chip muffins made by Bread of Life bakery. Only Whole Foods has them, and they are in a really small display over by the bakery case. Yum-O!

haha you just never know who you will see at the store :P

As for the Bread of Life bakery.........watch out. I went to a support group meeting where the owners of the bakery came to talk to the group. They were wanting to get into gluten-free baking and were wanting to find out more about it. They had no clue about cross contamination or really anything about baking gluten-free. They also bake TONS of wheatey products. So picture flour flying everywhere while baking gluten-free products. I know when the group met with them they were hesitant to set up another gluten free baking area.....sooooo just a warning .

I would hope that if they are marketing their products now that they have it a little more under control and have researched it a bit more. You might even give them a call and see if they have a more dedicated facility that they are baking in. I would hate for you all to be getting sick!!

Wow! I'm so glad I found this site! I have a question! I work for the Hilton KCI during the day and am desperately in search of a bakery in the Kansas City (or surrounding) area that will make a gluten-free birthday cake for a client that I have coming in next weekend! I tried the HyVee on Barry Road and they don't make them. Any suggestions??! Thank you!!

I shop at Walmart. Their Great Value line of food will say weather they are gluten free or not.

Very affordable. ;)

      Anyone Here Sensitive To Fillers Such As Cellulose?

      So happy to have found this Post. ive been struggling with cellulose fillers in meds for years. When I found out, I looked for meds that do not contain cellulose filler or have had to get compounded meds made with sucrose filler. My reactions are: severe migraines and liquid diarrhea ( not fun when you suffer from Ulcerative Colitis). not sure...

      If you replace the gluten products you normally ate with gluten-free versions, and I mean the breads, be careful, as many gluten-free products can be high in calories and low in nutrients (high carb).

      Thanks for the information. I get not using a biopsy to diagnosis. In fact, when we had the original biopsy done, my husband and I were very hesitant and didn't understand the need for it. The doctor kept telling us it was the only way to diagnosis Celiac, yet also said there's no other diagnosis that would have given her positive EMA-IgA and tTG-IgA results...

My reactions are:  severe migraines and liquid diarrhea ( not fun when you suffer from Ulcerative Colitis). not sure what percentage of the population suffer from such allergy. you'd have to be a pretty good sleuth to find this and make the connections. Bravo for you!   anyone know what percentage of population suffers from cellulose intolerance? thanks?

If her symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, this is another indicator that she likely has celiac disease.

      Thanks for the information.  I get not using a biopsy to diagnosis.  In fact, when we had the original biopsy done, my husband and I were very hesitant and didn't understand the need for it.  The doctor kept telling us it was the only way to diagnosis Celiac, yet also said there's no other diagnosis that would have given her positive EMA-IgA and tTG-IgA results.  So, we didn't understand.  Her biopsy came back negative, but because she wasn't even 3 at the time, the dr said she didn't want to go too far down into her system, and it was possible the damage was there and just not biopsied.  So, still no clear answer, which was frustrating. I'm confused now though with these results.  Why did her EMA-IgA results suddenly come back negative after the first 3 tests all showed positive?  And why is her tTG-IgA going down?  Could it be as simple as lab error?  Does the actual number matter, or the fact that it is so positive tell us everything we need to know?  I don't want to scope her again.  She has no symptoms that we can pin point to Celiac, but also aren't sure of what we don't know.  Is her tiredness a symptom that we just aren't paying enough attention to?  If we decide these results are enough, and start taking away all gluten products, how will we know if it is truly Celiac?  Another bloodtest in 6 months with lower tTG-IgA numbers could mean the diet is working, but couldn't they also decrease on their own like they did this time?
