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

The Gluten Free Pantry

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.

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.

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
