I am newly diagnosed Gluten intolorant, as was my daughter and her two kids, ages 2 1/2 and 9 months.

The 9 month old has been to six doctors in the past three months trying to find help. Running high temps. breaking out in hives and now is up here in the Seattle area with me seeing an alternative doctor.

We want to find a Gluten-free store.

Is there one up here??? Should I post this in another area?

Hi Janny,

Whole Foods and Trader Joe's both have gluten free selections. Uwajimaya in downtown Seattle has a lot of gluten-free Asian foods. There are a couple of gluten-free bakeries in the U district and the Elliot Bay Bookstore in downtown Seattle sells gluten-free treats.

Seattle also has 8 PCC's (Puget Community Cooperatives), which are 'natural' markets filled with fresh, organic produce and a great selection of gluten free baking products, breads, pastas, soups, meats, etc. as well as many dairy and/or soyfree foods, if you have other food sensitivities. Here's a link for PCC locations in the Seattle area: Open Original Shared Link Also many chain grocery stores, like Kroger (which includes Fred Meyer and QFC) and Safeway now include gluten free products in their regular product aisles. Fred Meyers have Nutrition sections which are well stocked with gluten free products.

Do you attend a local celiac support group? I lead one which meets on 2nd Tuesdays of each month in the Bothell (North Seattle) area. A friend leads another group which meets on 3rd Tuesdays in the Eastside (Bellevue/Redmond area). My doc leads a group which meets on first Tuesdays of the month in the Captial Hill/Pill Hill (by Swedish Hospital) area. Support groups are great sources of info and encouragement.

Most Fred Meyer stores have gluten-free sections.

If you're near the South End, there's a health food store in Kent called Nature's Market that has a lot of gluten-free stuff and there's another hfs called Marlene's in Federal Way. And if you look in the yellow pages for health food stores in your specific area you should be able to find something.

Manna Mills in Montlake Terrace is just a little North of Seattle. The boss has celiac and it is by far the biggest selection I have seen in Puget Sound area. They have almost anything you could want. They specialize in allergies and intolerances.

Manna Mills also carries GIG certified GLUTEN FREE OATS from one of only 2 factories which make uncontaminated oats. We picked up a bag at the Gluten Free Gala (with free samples) on November 18. I believe they hold those gluten-free Gala Events 2x a year.

Janny,

I have been searching for you since you moved to WA! I am your old friend from Corvallis, & I am also celiac & a member here too! If you get this, PLEASE email me at suec@peanets.com ASAP ! ! !

It would be worth making a trip to TruHealth in Bothell.

The owner has celiac and they now advertise, "Your Gluten Free Headquarters". They're a small store and don't have quite as much selection as Manna Mills does, but their prices are a lot better. They have a good assortment of Tinkyada pastas and the best prices I've seen anywhere on those. They are also very good to special order anything you need.

Central Market also has some things. There is one in North Seattle (or perhaps that area is now called Shoreline?, near the Sears on Aurora Ave.) and also one in Mill Creek on the Bothell Everett Highway. They have a good price on Sweet Rice Flour in the Asian section. They carry an assortment of other flours and mixes, Enjoy Life cookies and other things. They also stock some Flying Apron baked goods.

Open Original Shared Link

If you need a birthday cake, I highly recommend the ones from Flying Apron. Yes, they are expensive but they are beautiful and nobody could tell that the chocolate one my daughter got for her last birthday was gluten free.

QFC is also starting to carry more and more gluten-free products, although depending on the location, you may have to search for them. The one in Mill Creek used to have a special section for health foods and gluten-free stuff but they just remodeled and now they've mixed those things in with the other "regular" foods. The one in Lynnwood off of 196th had the Enjoy Life bars on two totally different aisles. One was in what appeared to be a gluten free section and they were also on the aisle with the regular cereals. I've seen the Enjoy Life cookies in weird places too. Like at the end of the ice cream aisle with an odd assortment of products. It's a small store as QFC's go.

Albertsons is also starting to stock more gluten-free items, but not a huge assortment. I can get some broth and soups there.

Safeway also has one aisle of specialty items and you can get some gluten-free mixes and flours there.

There's also Pilgrim's Natureway on Highway 99 in Edmonds, by T.J. Maxx. They have some gluten-free items.

They just had a gluten free fair last week. Alas, I had to miss it because daughter had a birthday party to go to.

I found that Trader Joes and Whole Foods have gluten free food lists on their websites. PCC is very helpful if you just ask. Mark, an employee at the Freemont store, new all the great new gluten-free products the last time I was there. Good luck!

I have news about another gluten free food fair: On May 19 at Green Lake Community Center (7201 East Greenlake Drive North) in North Seattle, we will hold the annual Celiac Disease Awareness Walk and Gluten Free Food Fair. Registration for the walk (includes tee shirt) begins at 8am on the patio outside the GLCC. The walk and food fair begin at 9am and continue until 12 noon. The food fair will provide product samples from 20 different gluten free food companies. The food fair information table will provide brochures from the Seattle IBS Treatment Center, Enterolab, USBioTek Labs (which processes ELISA tests), GlutenFreePassport (guidebook for eating out gluten free) and GIG (which sponsors the walk). If you need more information or directions to Green Lake, email me at penguinea@hotmail.com or see Open Original Shared Link

You really didn't miss anything. I was really disapointed with this gala. I arrived at 3 and most of the samples and vendors were already gone. It was supposed to go until 6.

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

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      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.

It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      By trents · Posted

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
