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.

gfnfoods.com (gluten free natural foods)

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.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Is there a digestive enzyme that helps build a healthier gut? I see people taking them but not sure what really works

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong. yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped". Your Serum IGA 01 (aka, "total IGA") at 245 mg/dl is within normal range, indicating you are not IGA deficient. But I also think it would be wise to take your doctor's advice about the sucraid diet and avoiding dairy . . . at least until you experience healing and your gut has had a chance to heal, which can take around two years. After that, you can experiment with adding dairy back in and monitor symptoms. By the way, if you want the protein afforded by dairy but need to avoid casein, you can do so with whey protein powder. Whey is the other major protein in dairy.
