Smaller Grocers As Opposed To Chain Markets


Robina

Recommended Posts

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

Read the article Open Original Shared Link.

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!

      This article does not address migraines at all.  Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
