Where do many of y'all shop? I go to Whole Foods, Winn DIxie and Wal-Mart, but I can't seem to find the foods many of y'all talk about. Kinnikinnick, Glutino and other gluten-free products are hard to find.

Also looking for cheese it like snacks and such.

Also (sorry, winded I know) the Envirokids cerals, any recomendations?

I go to Whole Foods (Tinkyada, some specialty items that are mostly local), EnviroKids, Ener-G pretzles, energy bars, Food for Life tortillas, Bobs Flours), PCC, Trader Joe's, and Safeway.

I have a store near me which is all gluten-free items, and then I shop at Wegmans, those are my only two big shopping places for the special food.

I shop Walmart and mail order. Wal-mart's GV brand labels gluten free so I buy mostly GV brand products. For my mail order products I use shopbydiet.com and kinnikinnick.com. Both are great!

I recently asked my local health food store Rainbow Blossom if they could order a product that they didn't have in the store. They said no problem and no extra charge if it was available from the supplier(s) that they use. Unfortunately, they couldn't get that particular item. But you might want to ask.

my natural foods store has a very large selection of gluten-free products and has never had a problem ording anything that i have asked for. i travel a few months out of the year for business and often have them ship things to me. i would recomend finding the "mom and pop" store near you, in my opnion they are more accommodating.

good luck ;)

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      By Samanthaeileen1 · Posted

      thank you RMJ! That is very helpful advice. Good to know we aren’t crazy if we don’t do the endoscopy. We are going to try the gluten free and see how symptoms and levels improve.    thank you Wheatwacked (love the username lol) that is also reassuring. Thankfully she has an amazing and experienced pediatrician. And yesss I forgot to mention the poop! She has the weirdest poop issues.    How long did it take y'all to start seeing improvement in symptoms?

      My son was diagnosed when he was weaned in 1976 after several endoscopies.  Given your two year old's symptoms and your family history and your pediatrition advocating for the dx, I would agree.  Whether an endoscopy is positive or negative is irrelevant.   That may happen even with endoscopy.  Pick your doctors with that in mind. In the end you save the potential trauma of the endoscopy for your baby.   Mine also had really nasty poop.  His doctor started him on Nutramigen Infant because at the time it was the only product that was hypo allergenic and had complete nutrition. The improvement was immediate.

      So her tissue transglutaminase antibody is almost 4x the upper end of the normal range - likely a real result. The other things you can do besides an endoscopy would be: 1.  Genetic testing.  Unfortunately a large proportion of the population has genes permissive for celiac disease, but only a small proportion of those with the genes have it. With family history it is likely she has the genes. 2.  Try a gluten free diet and see if the symptoms go away AND the antibody levels return to normal. (This is what I would do). Endoscopies aren’t always accurate in patients as young as your daughter. Unfortunately, without an endoscopy, some doctor later in her life may question whether she really has celiac disease or not, and you’ll need to be a fierce mama bear to defend the diagnosis! Be sure you have a good written record of her current pediatrician’s diagnosis. Doing a gluten challenge for an endoscopy later in life could cause a very uncomfortable level of symptoms.   Having yourself, your husband and your son tested would be a great idea.

      here are the lab ranges.  Normal ranges for tissue transglutaminase are: <15.0 Antibody not detected > or = 15.0 Antibody detected normal for endomysial antibody is < 1.5. So she is barely positive but still positive.

      Just diagnosed today

      By JoJo0611 · Posted

      I have been diagnosed with coeliacs disease today after endoscopy, bloods and CT scan. I have also been diagnosed with Mesenteric Panniculitis today. Both of which I believe are autoimmune diseases. I have been told I will need a dexa scan and a repeat CT scan in 6 months. I had not even heard of Mesenteric Panniculitis till today. I don’t know much about it? Has anyone else got both of these.
