I finally got to the store by me.. called Epicure. He had everything. He carried Everybody Eats stuff.. let us try samples of all this stuff.. french bread, choc chip cookies, blueberry pie, we didnt sample the cakes, but they looked great.

I bought raviolis, the french bread and the cookies. My mom ordered the stuffing for Thanksgiving. I will have to see how that tastes. He had a whole turkey dinner sampling last week, I didnt know then.. shucks!

My mom also wants to order the pies for the holiday. She really hates to bake, nevermind gluten free. She wants to order a pumpkin pie (I know easy to make) so he invited me in next week, he will have both pies defrosted for me to sample which one I like best and add it to my moms order.

I cant wait. He has two freezers and two fridges filled with gluten free goodies. It was amazing. I cant wait to try my gluten free think crust pizza. He makes chicken croquettes too. I am hungry just thinking of it.

Enough babbling.. thanks for listening.. I get so excited with things like this...

Epicure is located in Spring Lake, NJ. Central Jersey shore area. I tried only the french bread, choc chip cookies (which are from Everybody Eats) and these absolutely incredible mini donuts.. they look like munchkins.. and taste like them too. If I didnt know any better I would have sworn they were from Dunkin Donuts! I will give more info on the products as I taste them. I will find out if he will be going online. I know within the next 30 days he will have a web site up and running.

I will let him know of the interest...

Chris Bachetti who owns this store is a great guy. He has several good lines including Everybody Eats & the Grainless Baker.I'm glad to hear his store is taking off as he works hard.... I haven't spoke to him for a few months but I'll have to give him a call.

If you haven't tried Everybody Eats baguettes & crusty rolls you are missing out...... they are the very best out in the gluten-free world.

For a excellent glazed donut try Celiac specialities. Not sure if Chris carries that one yet.

If you look on everybody eats website they have a growing list of stores that are carrying their foods in NJ.You may even find one closer to you. I believe Chris supplies those stores....

For pumpkin pie I never bought one as I alway make my own but if you don't want to bother with a crust just grease the pie plate or dish & make the filling according to the directions on the back of the pumpkin can & bake according. No crust but it still is the filling. We add whipped cream after baking. Most of my family leaves the most of the crust anyway. Less calories too!

ahhh.. I guess you live in the area mamaw! Yes Chris is a great guy. I am going there on Wednesday to sample the two pumpkin pies he carries. I bought the french bread to try.. he gave me a sample at the store that he toasted up a bit.. even my mom loved it and she isnt a celiac!

Have you ever been there for his tastings? He said there is some special gluten free dinner going on in South Amboy in a few weeks. I am dying to go.. its like 20.00 a person. Do you know anything about that? If so, please pass on any info you may have!!

I finally found the answer to my own question mamaw.. the gluten free dinner is in Perth Amboy at a Portugese Restaurant. The RSVP was November 3. I wrote an email to the lady running it asking if it was way too late to stick two more people in.. the worst she can say is no.

Its a benefit to help kids in celiac camp during the summers. I hope I can go. It will be so exciting to meet others with the same thing that I have.

Hi Stephanie

I wished I lived in the area!!!!! I met Chris this pass summer & we became friends.... I actually live near Pittsburgh Pa........I didn't know about the dinner but it sounds like it will be very nice & for a great cause too!!!!That's great that Chris does the samplings so that way one is not buying a pig in the poke .... I hate to waste hard earned cash on foods I can't eat.....

The french bread you tried was it Everybody Eats or the Grainless Baker's??? I know the owners of that too. I have met pretty much all of the vendors at one point or another.Store owners too.I travel around searching for good stuff!!!!!When I know of a good product or a good store to shop I help promote them...such as Chris. He is a hard worker tryin to make a living for his family......

blessings

The french bread is Everybody Eats. I toasted it last nite to eat with my moms pea soup. OMG, it was like normal bread. I didnt even have bread envy for anyone elses bread! I have the grainless baker crackers. They are onion and cheese. They are pretty good.. great consistency.. but very very oniony. I am going to try to call about the dinner later this evening. I emailed and havent heard back yet.. I hope I can go. It is a great cause. If I cant go.. I can still give a donation.. I will do that too.

      Is this celiac?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Marsh 3b is the Gold Standard of diagnosis for Celiac Disease.  Until recently, regardless of antibody tests, positive or negative, you had to have Marsh 3 damage to be awarded the diagnosis of Celiac. As I understand you,  you were having constant symptoms..  Your symptoms improved on GFD, with occassional flare ups. Did your doctor say you do and you are questioning the diagnosis? Regarding your increasing severity when you get glutened it is "normal.  Gluten acts on the Opiod receptors to numb your body.  Some report withdrawal symptoms on GFD.  I was an alcoholic for 30 years, about 1/2 pint of voda a day. Each time I identified a trigger and dealt with it, a new trigger would pop up.  Even a 30 day rehab stint, with a low fat diet (severe pancreatis) during which I rarely had cravings.  Stopped at a Wendys on the way home and the next day I was drinking again.  20 years later, sick as a dog, bedridden on Thanksgiving, after months of reasearch, I realized that gluten free was my Hail Mary.  Back in 1976 my son was diagnosed at weaning with Celiac Disease and his doctor suggested my wife and I should also be gluten free because it is genetic.  At 25 years old I felt no gastro problems and promised if I ever did I would try gluten free.  Well, I forgot that promise until I was 63.  Three days of gluten and alcohol free, I could no longer tolerate alcohol. Eleven years gluten and alcohol free, with no regrets. Improvement was quick, but always two steps forward and one back.  Over time I found nineteen symptoms that I had been living with for my entire life, that doctors had said, "We don't know why, but that is normal for some people". Celiac Disease causes multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  It is an autoimmune disease, meaning your immune system B and T cells create antibodies against ttg(2) the small intestin in Celiac Disease and sometimes ttg(3) in skin in Dermatitis Herpetiformus.  Why is poorly understood.  In fact, it wasn't even know that wheat, barley and rye gluten was the cause.  Celiac Disease was also called Infantilism, because it was deadly, and believed to only be a childhood disease. So as part of your symptoms you must deal with those deficiencies.  Especially vitamin D because it contols your immune system.  Virtually all newly diagnosed Celiacs have vitamin D deficiency.  There are about 30 vitamin and minerals that are absorbed in the small intestine.  With Marsh 3 damage you may be eating the amount everyone else does, but you are not absorbing them into your system, so you will display symptoms of their deficiency.   As time passes and you replenish your deficiencies you may notice other symptoms improve, some you did not even know were sypmptos. Our western diet has many deficiencies build into it.   That is the reason foods with gluten are fortified.  Gluten free processed food are not required to fortify.  Vitamin D, Iodine, choline.  The B vitamins, especially Thiamine (B1) run deficient quickly.  We only store enough thiamine for 2 weeks for symptoms can come on quickly.  Magnesium, zinc, etc. each having its own symptoms affecting multiple systems.  High homocystene, and indicator of vascular inflamation can be cause by deficient Choline, folate, B6 and or B12.  Brain fog, deficient choline, iodine, thiamine.

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      I cut out the rice because it was affecting my stomach at the time ... not necessarily dermatitis herpetiformis. It was Tilda Basmati Rice, sometimes wholegrain rice. I was willing to do whatever it took to heal. Too much fiber also disagrees with me as I have UC.

      But you didn't answer my question. When you consume gluten, is there an identifiable reaction within a short period of time, say a few hours?

      You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not very common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/

      I am only wondering why you would need to cut out rice? I've never heard of rice being any issue in those with DH.
