Ah I can not believe my eyes..... :rolleyes:

I went to super target ... ( and my local publix ) and I found the pamelas mixes ..... kinniknick .. bobs ... gluten free pasta noodles.... The stuff seems cheaper than at whole foods.... But I am in shock ..... there were cake mixes ... and brownie mixes... all gluten free.

I just wanted to share..... I think its great. maybe by the time my toddler is 10 .... gluten free will start to become a mainstream consideration... that is a big step to have all that stuff at super target and publix..... I am just suprised..... happy but suprised.

I have gotten gluten-free products at Giant, Kroger, Harris Teeter, Farm Fresh, Safeway, Ukrops,.....

it IS great to see them in so many places! It is so much more mainstream even from 2.5 years ago when I was dx'ed.

I work at a Star market , part of Albertsons. There are more and more people buying gluten-free products and as that number increases the choices of items are growing. I worked in a smaller store for years, and they had pasta , cookies, flour ,xanthum gum and a lot of basics, I was transfered to a larger store and can buy frozen pizza dough, english muffins and a lot more stuff. Every month or so there seems to be more new stuff. As I've traveled to different parts of the country it seems like there is always some section for the gluten-free individual.

The only mainstream grocery store in our area that has any specialty gluten-free food is one called Super 1. They carry Bob's Red Mill stuff and Tinkyada pasta. Safeway and Super Wal-Mart have nothing. :angry: Fortunately, we have a small health foods store, kind of a mini Whole Foods, that carries a lot of gluten-free food and actually has it cheaper than Super 1.

Meijer has a very large selection of gluten free products! They carry Glutino, Tinkyada, Amy's, Chebe, EnviroKids... It was so great to find all the things I buy right at my grocery store. They don't seem to be much cheaper than Wild Oats, but at least it saves a trip!

I have seen many gluten-free products in Meijier, Kroger & Giant Eagle. Gluten-free Pantry, Glutino, Cherrybrook Kitchen, Enjoy Life, Tinkyada, Mi-Del, Bob's Red Mill are some of the ones I have seen.

I find gluten-free products at Wegmans (fantastic selection), Shop Rite, and until recently--Acme. They have completely remodeled the store, and at the same time, stopped carrying The Gluten Free Pantry and Bob's Red Mill and the few others that they offered.

      Thanks for the reply.

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
