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.

Try this web site for some info.

"CeliacSisters.com is written by two sisters, Angela, and me (Amy) who both have celiac sprue. Our focus is to share our gluten-free experiences with you and also discuss current events that correlate to our disease, diet, and/or lifestyle. "

I know they review restaurants in the area.

Hope this helps. Good luck and have a nice trip.

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.

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.
