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.

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.

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      @catnapt, I'm sorry you're having such a rough time. How much wheat germ and how much gluten were you eating? Lectins in beans can be broken down by pressure cooking them. Do you pressure cook your beans? Were you pressure cooking your wheat germ? What drugs are you taking? Some immunosuppressive drugs affect IgA production. Do...

      oops my gluten challenge was only 12 days It started Jan 21s and ended Feb 1st worst 12 days of my life Does not help that I also started on a thiazide-like drug for rule in/out renal calcium leak at the exact same time No clue if that could have been symptoms worse 🤔

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Welcome to the forum @Known1, What reaction were you expecting?

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I don't know if I am getting sufficient Omega Threes. I read about phosphotidyl choline may cause heart issues. I will have o do further research on heathy Omega 3 supplements or from foods. Is there a blood test that can tell you everything level in your system such as Thiamine, Benfotiamine levels etc? Thanks

      @catnapt,  I'm sorry you're having such a rough time.   How much wheat germ and how much gluten were you eating? Lectins in beans can be broken down by pressure cooking them.  Do you pressure cook your beans?  Were you pressure cooking your wheat germ? What drugs are you taking?  Some immunosuppressive drugs affect IgA production.  Do you have anemia?

      Welcome to the forum @Known1, What reaction were you expecting? Pipingrock.com High Potency Vitamin D3, 2000 IU, 250 Quick Release Softgels $6.89 I've have been taking the 10,000 IU for close to 10 years. When I started with vitamin D I worked my way up to 10000 over several weeks.  Even at 8000 I felt no noticeable difference.  Then after a few days at 10000 it hit Whoa, sunshine in a bottle.  celiac disease causes malabsorption of dietary D and you've poor UV access.  It took me from 2015 to 2019 to get my 25(OH)D just to 47 ng/ml.  Another two years to get to 80.  70 to 100 ng/ml seems to be the body's natural upper homeostasis  based on lifeguard studies.  Dr. Holick has observed the average lifeguard population usually has a vitamin D 3 level of around 100 ng/ml. Could it be that our normal range is too low given the fact that ¾ or more of the American population is vitamin D deficient? Your Calcium will increase with the vitamin D so don't supplement calcium unless you really need it.  Monitor with PTH  and 25(OH)D tests. Because of your Marsh 3 damage you need to ingest way more than the RDA of any supplement to undo your specific deficiencies. I believe you are in the goiter belt.  Unless you have reason not to, I recommend pipingrock's Liquid Iodine for price and quality.  The RDA is 150 to 1100 mcg.  In Japan the safe upper level is set at 3000 mcg.  Start with one drop 50 mcg to test for adverse response and build up.  I found 600 mcg (12 drops) a day is helping repair my body.  Iodine is necessary to healing.  90% of daily iodine intake is excreted in urine.  A Urine Iodine Concentration (UIC) can tell how much Iodine you got that day.  The thyroid TSH test will not show iodine deficiency unless it is really bad.

      If lectins were my problem, I would react to wheat germ (the highest source of wheat lectins) and beans. I don't. I only react to bread and pasta, which are the highest sources of gluten. Therefore, my issue is wheat-specific (Gluten/ATIs), not a general lectin issue.   I have eaten a supposedly high lectin diet (I say supposedly because lectin content in these foods is greatly reduced by proper cooking and I eat very few of those foods raw, and even then, rarely!!) for years. My health has improved greatly on my whole foods plant forward diet. I have asked all my drs and a registered dietician about my diet, asked if eating such a high amnt of fiber might interfere with the digestion of any other nutrients and the answer has always been NO.     while doing the gluten challenge I did not eat ANY wheat germ (since it doesn't have hardly any gluten, and I was too sick from the bread and pasta to want to eat much anyway) I will NOT put that poison in my body again. That was a horrific experience and if this is what most celiac patients have to deal with, I am very sorry for them I don't care if I have celiac or NCGS I won't intentionally cause myself that much pain and suffering it's not worth it.
