I've shopped at Flying Apron since I was diagnosed with celiac disease over 2 years ago. NOT ALL OF THEIR PRODUCTS ARE GLUTEN FREE. Some pastries have spelt or oats or barley. Some workers are very careful not to cross contaminate pastries, by letting them touch or spilling crumbs in their display. However other workers are CLUELESS college kids who believe that spelt is 'not wheat' and know zip about celiac disease. FA also does not accurately describe ingredients in all their products. For example, their chocolate chips have soy lecithin (I have soy allergy) and their peanut butter contains soy oil. I've gotten sick so many times after eating FA pastries that I finally stopped buying there. HOWEVER, if you're careful about requesting noncontaminated items and only have gluten and dairy sensitivities, their products are delicious.

If you live in North Seattle (or are willing to drive there), DA VINCI'S on 10003 Greenwood Avenue North features gluten-free breads and pastries. Their phone number is 206-782-5735. I especially like their EDS (egg/dairy/soy free) line of breads and pastries. They make a sweet potato pecan EDS bread which is fantastic. I also love their pizza crusts, which don't get hard when you reheat old pizza in the microwave. You can eat breakfasts and lunch items there or you can just buy take out pastries baked fresh daily.

If you live in the South Seattle area, I would recommend ENER-G FOODS bakery which is located on First Avenue South, just before you reach the First Avenue bridge. You can try samples and purchase anything they feature in their catalog or online in that store. I often find great bargains when shopping at their store.

Are Ener-G's prices better at their store than online? Their online prices are more expensive than buying their stuff at the regular store, quite often. I love some of their stuff and want to try their new pretzels that are soy-free. Would it be worth a trip next time I'm heading into Seattle?

You will DEFINITELY save shipping costs by buying in-store. Local stores raise the basic catalog prices. Best of all there are usually lower priced items in the 'bargain' bin as well as free samples in the store. My husband who is not celiac, but gluten free to prevent arthritis symptoms, picks up my NRG orders and inhales all the free cookies, etc. LOL

I was in North Seattle for an event last weekend and went by Da Vincis. They make bakery items and some entree type things plus a full coffee service with milk alternatives. Fantastic stuff and very nice staff. They make a bunch of different pizzas and have some salads including a chicken one that was great. The desserts are wonderful too, and no problems with anything. Worth going out of the way for - it's at N 100th and Greenwood. Prices were reasonable too, no more than any good quality local bakery.

I had wondered about the chocolate at Flying Apron. Daughter likes the icing on their chocolate cupcakes. Doesn't even eat all of it and never seems to get to the cupcake itself. It does list soy lecithin, and she does have a soy allergy. But she eats so little of it and so infrequently and she hasn't seemed to react.

The reason why I wondered was that I ordered her a birthday cake there for the past two years and it doesn't list soy in the indredients. The cake two years ago was a big hit. This past year, not so much so. It was supposed to be plain chocolate but we got chocolate mint. The cake seemed very dry and crumbly.

Daughter hates their muffins and whatever that little chocolate triangle is. She does like the espresso brownies and also the berry tea cakes or scones. She prefers the round ones but doesn't like the berries so much. She tends to eat around the berries.

I always buy from Central Market. They sell some of their things there. My parents have picked up the birthday cakes from the U Dist. location.

I'd like to try some of the bread but am not going to go to the U Dist. to get it.

I've been wondering where the Ener-G store was. That's a bit too far for me to go. I live in Bothell. I usually just order online for their stuff. I can get some of it in the local stores here and most of it at Manna Mills in Mountlake Terrace, but I don't get out there too often.

I have also gotten some things from Wheatless in Seattle. Not sure where she went after she left the Firdale Village location. Daughter loved their food, but I couldn't be sure it was allergen safe. She once sold us a brownie and told me it was egg free. Daughter became ill after eating it and I later learned it had eggs in it. She also let me down after telling me she could make us a birthday cake then then told me she couldn't when I went back to get it.

"Wheatless In Seattle" is now "Da Vinci's" in Greenwood on Aurora Ave/ old HWY 99. It is now more or less a glorified yuppie-ish espresso cafe. With "lavender cake", foccocia breads, and other baked goods that are a bit "different" She still has pizza, but it's pre-made and usually something bizarre like eggplant with pepperoni and green peppers. I know some people would love that sort of thing, but me personally I like it pretty plain.

I tried some cinnamon rolls (to go) and they were horribly dry. If I ate them there I would have asked for my money back. I was very disappointed that she doesn't have a regular type restaurant any more. I haven't been back in about a year, so things may have changed, but it doesn't appear so from the website.

Well, maybe it's a good thing she has pre-made pizza. We once tried to get some and it took over 2 hours to get our order right. We had to keep sending it back. Wouldn't be a big deal except we have additional food allergies. She used to offer two kinds of crust. They kept putting the wrong toppings on the wrong crust.

Well as you know she is a little "out there" and I would go as far as to say a flake. I remember one time I had eaten at the old location and I was trying to pay the bill. Her granddaughter (i believe) kept smacking her on the butt really hard, when she was trying to ring it up. She totally lost it and started screaming at her and telling her what a brat she was etc. I mean she beyond flipped out. It was like watching the exorcist. It made me extremely uncomfortable. I think she could have handled it a bit different.

I have heard some horror stories from people about her and her lack of proper business management skills. Like someone ordered some cinnamon rolls for their anniversary. They never showed and when she was called, she said she just didn't get around to it, and sent her gift certificate in exchange for it.

Um not cool! She ordered them over the phone and explained how important they were etc. and she promised it wouldn't be an issue.

Don't get me wrong I love that she is trying to offer a gluten-free/other free menu but get your self together or have someone else do the business end of things.

As soon as I realized I was going gluten-free I looked up bakeries. This is the place I went the first weekend. It was so relaxing to eat and not worry.

I'm glad she wasn't there when I went since it was my first week going gluten-free.

      Covid caused reoccurrence of DH without eating gluten

      By Jacki Espo · Posted

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      My only proof

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
