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.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
