Hi,

This is a local store we purchase from in wisconsin. They are very celiac friendly! They have a section of their store that is all gluten free. Some pasta too. We buy all of our flour from them. The website is Cathysbulkfoods.com. I'm not sure what shipping charges are, but it's worth the look. We save a lot of money there. Hope this helps some of you!

Hi Amy.

We live in Eagle, WI. I have to go to Pewaukee to find most of our gluten-free stuff, but I also order from www.shopbydiet.com. Where is this store you mentioned? Also....are you familiar with any commercial brands of cereal that are gluten-free? There are a few people talking on the board about some General Mills cereals that are gluten-free...but my son and I must have spent about 15 minutes in the cereal aisles of Pick-N-Save and the Super WalMart and found nothing!

Anyways - glad to see another Wisconsinite on the boards. Have a great night!

Wow, that looks great!! Have you tried their brown rice flour? I noticed that have two different kinds--I wonder if either of them is the superfine-grind that eliminates all the grittiness? I do like Authentic Foods brand, but the price is just ridiculous--$11.99 for 3 pounds, on the Authentic Foods website.

Anyway, thanks for posting this--it's great to be able to find out these things!

Cathys Country Store is in Appleton, WI. Also I'm not sure on the cereal. It seems like my daughter gets sick even when companies say their product is gluten free. So, we play it the safe way. We make a hot rice cereal on the stove and add some sugar and cinnamon. If you'd like to know about that I'd be glad to post it for you. Sorry I wasn't much help on the cereal.

Hi,

I have used both. They are ground fine, but I'm not sure what you're used to. Also, I don't think there is a difference between the 2. Glad to see it might be able to save you some money!

I have tried Bob's Red Milll, which is somewhat gritty, Hodgson Mill, which is VERY grittty, and Authentic Foods, which is superfine like cornstarch, but at $4 a pound, I don't want to get it anymore if I don't have to!

I just took it out and felt it. It is powdery like a starch, but you can feel some texture to it. I think it's what you're looking for. Unfortunately I have never used any other brands but what they have at their store. It's all we can afford. Sorry I can't be more help.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
