I'm going to the Chicago area in a few days to visit family and will be there for 10 days. Can anyone recommend some good stores where I can get gluten-free supplies? I know where I can find a Trader Joe's, but was wondering if there is anything else that would be good to visit.

thanks,

Nikki

Can you give me the name of what suburb you will be in? I'm in the western suburbs, near Naperville, and can give you the list of the stores I visit regularly.

Below is the url to find a Wild Oats store. Wild Oats has a good selection of gluten free food. I don't know if the stores listed in Illinois are anywhere near where you are staying but it is worth a try to look.

I have also located stores with gluten free food by going to the internet sites that specialize in gluten free food. They usually have a place to look up retailers that sell their food. I get directions from mapquest to see if the retailers are anywhere near where I am staying, then I call for the hours and ask about the selection.

Have a great time in Chicago.

Thank you all so much for the suggestions. I'm so excited to go to a Whole Foods and try some products from their bakery.

gadgetgirl, I'll be in Worth, which is a southwest suburb near Chicago Ridge. Are you familiar with where that is?

Yep! My father used to live south of there in Crestwood. Here is one store that is in the general vicinity - I know you will have to go several miles east to get there from Worth - I have not been there - but the celiacsisters.com website highly recommends it. I'd call to confirm hours as these hours are from the original posting in their blog.

      Trying to read my lab results

      Hi Scott, yes I have had symptoms for years and this is the second GI I have seen and he could not believe I have never been tested. He called later today and I am scheduled for an endoscopy. Is there a way to tell how severe my potential celiac is from the results above? What are the chances I will have the biopsy and come back negative and we have to keep...

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      I agree christina, there is definitely many contributing factors! I have the pain today, my pelvis, hips and thighs ache! No idea why. But i have been sitting at work for 3 days so im thinking its my back. This disease is very mysterious (and frustrating) but not always to blame for every pain.

      Why?

      "her stool study showed she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that." The wording of this part of the sentence does not make any sense at all. I don't mean to insult you, but is English your first language? This part of the sentence sounds like it was generated by translation software.

      Why?

      What kind of stool test was done? Can you be more specific?

      Why?

      Perhaps I should also have said that in addition to showing a very high response to gluten, her stool study showed that she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that.
