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...

Epicure

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.

      Gluten-Free Diet Linked to Reduced Inflammation and Improved Outcomes in Multiple Sclerosis (+Video)

      I worried at one point on my journey whether I had MS, having many of the symptoms myself. However, my symptoms improved dramatically with high dose thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and Thiamine TTFD. Thiamine deficiency symptoms overlap with MS symptoms, including changes on brain MRIs. Thiamine deficiency affected my eyes (light sensitivity),...

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing...

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that y...

Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
