Gluten Free Store

Ok, I am new to this site, but I am looking into opening a gluten free store here in Austin, and need some ideas. I was diagnosed with Celiacs Disease 2 years ago, and it has been really hard for me, and I seem to accidently eat things with Gluten in it all the time that I didn't know had gluten in it, so I'm looking to try and change that for not only me, but other people too! I know the foods I like, but I want to know the foods you like. Names, #'s and e-mail if it is on your product. I am trying to do some research on how much this will cost, and how to deal with the companies and ordering in bulk. We have some Whole Foods stores here, but I really think it would be great if we could have a fully Gluten Free store. Don't have to go to the grocery store at all! Let me know what you think, and if you have any products you really like let me know, and I will call them and try their product as well.

I really like the kinninick (sp) donuts and knock off oreos. I enjoy the Glutino ice cream cones and lemon wafer cookies.

Anything Kinnikinnick is great

Glutano (not glutino) is great for the most part

Bulk items like flours would probably be good sellers (I usually buy Kinnikinnick)

Chebe mixes seem to be popular, though they're not a fave in my house

LaraBars

The Gluten Free Pantry

Mrs. Leepers

Tinkyada

Namaste

Please consider carrying some gluten free/dairy free selections too as many Celiacs also have dairy intolerances.

Welcome to the board!!! Good luck in your venture!

There is a new company in Vermont called Against the Grain. I have not tried it yet, but there bagels look big and crusty like the real thing. It would be cool to support a small business like this.

Those are my fave lines of gluten-free mixes. Can't do without them and my gluten eating husband loves them as well. Good luck to you!

I just started selling Ener G foods in our store. I have a small selection to start with but it seems to be doing well. We are in the middle of rural Missouri and people seem to like not having to drive to "the city". I do carry some of their egg replacer and Soyquick. Good luck.

Hi

I just wanted to wish you well on this adventure. I too want to do something similar but so far I've been told I need about $100,000 at least to begin.I'm not sure I'm ready for that .

I would say Anna's Bread mix is very popular.Also Celiac specialities makes an awesome glazed donut.

Heartland's mac & cheese.

I also hear alot of good gluten-free foods coming from Grandma Ferdon's in Wisconsin

I think carrying some things from bakeries would have some appeal to gluten-free people... I know I like to try different foods from different places..

Good Luck & I wish you the very best.

123 gluten free are very very good! I really like the mixes and such!

I also like ener-g flours not their products except their pretzals.

Kinikinick is really good but i dont know how to spell it

fresh food that is naturally gluten free is the best to have!

They are in Marlboro Vermont near the Vermont/Mass. line. They are going to be opening a bakery locally in Brattleboro. I have already seen their bagels in Mass at a co-op. They must have a web sight.

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      I've been reflecting on this further. The lowest TTG I've ever managed was 4.5 (normal lab reading under 10). Since then it has gone up to 10. I am not happy with that. I can only explain this by the fact that I am eating out more these days and that's where I'm being 'glutened', but such small amounts that I only occasionally react. I...

      Low iron and vitamin d

      Hi, I posted before about my son's legs shaking after gluten. I did end up starting him on vit b and happily he actually started sleeping better and longer. Back to my 4 year old. She had gone back to meltdowns, early wakes, and exhaustion. We tested everything again and her ferritin was lowish again (16) and vit d was low. After a couple weeks...

      Cristiana, that sounds like a great approach and I will be looking forward to the results. I am in the same boat as you. I don't experience overt symptoms with minor, cross contamination level exposures so I sometimes will indulge in those "processed on equipment that also processes wheat . . ." or items that don't specifically claim to be gluten free but do not list gluten containing grains in their ingredient list. But I always wonder if I am still experiencing sub acute inflammatory reactions. I haven't had any celiac antibody blood work done since my diagnosis almost 25 years ago so I don't really have any data to go by.

I know some of it is also to do with eating products labelled 'may contain gluten' by mistake - which in the UK means it probably does! It stands to reason that as I am a coeliac any trace of gluten will cause a response in the gut.  My villi are healed and look healthy, but those lymphocytes are present because of the occasional trace amounts of gluten sneaking into my diet.   I am going to try not to eat out now until my next blood test in the autumn and read labels properly to avoid the may contain gluten products, and will then report back to see if it has helped!

      Low iron and vitamin d

      By lizzie42 · Posted

      Hi, I posted before about my son's legs shaking after gluten. I did end up starting him on vit b and happily he actually started sleeping better and longer.  Back to my 4 year old. She had gone back to meltdowns, early wakes, and exhaustion. We tested everything again and her ferritin was lowish again (16) and vit d was low. After a couple weeks on supplements she is cheerful, sleeping better and looks better. The red rimmed eyes and dark circles are much better.   AND her Ttg was a 3!!!!!! So, we are crushing the gluten-free diet which is great. But WHY are her iron and vit d low if she's not getting any gluten????  She's on 30mg of iron per day and also a multivitamin and vit d supplement (per her dr). That helped her feel better quickly. But will she need supplements her whole life?? Or is there some other reason she's not absorbing iron? We eat very healthy with minimal processed food. Beef maybe 1x per week but plenty of other protein including eggs daily.  She also says her tummy hurts every single morning. That was before the iron (do not likely a side effect). Is that common with celiac?
