Smaller Grocers As Opposed To Chain Markets

Well... I've shopped at Wild Oats and Hannaford's for gluten-free products and could definitely find gluten-free products... but... yesterday hubby and I went to the Dover Health Food Store for a Gluten Free sale they were having (I guess they do it once every couple of months)... and it was pretty awesome... they had a whole aisle dedicated to gluten-free/WF products... as well as a large freezer... I was able to find Foods by George pizza and muffins, Tinkayada pastas as well as others, glutino pretzels, and much, much more... there were cereals, spices, cookies, mixes... you name it... they had it... plus... they had product sampling... and were serving gluten-free chili and soups in their cafe... the owner came over to us to make sure we were finding everything okay... and told us if there was anything we wanted that they didn't carry... to let them know and they would order it...

When I tried to contact Hannaford's to ask them to carry Foods by George pizza... I got a generic canned email saying that they stock products based on population, blah, blah, blah...

So IMHO... going w/ the smaller stores can sometimes be better!!!

I 100% agree if you are one of the lucky one to have a health foods store that really cares about gluten-free products you will never shop anywere else. my local store on long lsland has everything i need could not be happier

I agree, I'm lucky enough that my hubby even WORKS at my local health food store! Life Grocery in Marietta, GA. They have the most awesome gluten-free section and it's constantly expanding! The Grocery Manager has Celiac as do 2 other employees there, so they have a vested interest in keeping in stock lots of goodies that we can have. The great thing is that they sell a lot of it too so the demand is obviously there. My hubby says that about every third person through his line is buying at least some gluten-free products! I can get some things from Publix and Kroger, but NOTHING like shopping at Life Grocery, and we get an employee discount!!!!!!!!!! Yippeeee!

My local "chain' supermarket - Price Chopper unveiled a nice "health food" section within the last year. They carry a few gluten-free staples (flour, cookies :) , pastas, cereal, frozen entrees). I just came across this article that says the have entered into an agreement to carry "Wild Oats" branded products in their stores. I have never been to Wild Oats (none around here), but more options are definitely better! :D

Triticus - I love the pic! That's hillarious!

I really like going to the smaller stores around here, as they do seem to have more. I have actually thought about getting a job at one, since our current financial situation is dwindling, that way I could get a discount! Although I must say that Walmart has tons of good cheap food, and they're great about their gluten-labeling!

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.
