Over the past year my local A &P has been stocking some gluten-free items such as Gluten Free Pantry mixes and cookies; so I wrote the headquarters in Montvale NJ a nice letter thanking them and asking for more stuff like Erewhon gluten-free and Glutino, etc. But thanking them profusely for adding gluten-free to their store.

Just last week mhy local A & P re-arranged their store and removed the entire gluten-free section! Removed as in no longer going to have gluten-free section! I spoke to someone there about it and they said that they'd find another spot for it but that was a week ago and it's still gone.

A & P (and I've been though other service issues with them over past few years) does not care about their customers and providing what their customers need; nor do they care when told. I guess I'll have to do my shopping at Shop Rite now as they have just isolated a section of their store with gluten-free foods.

I hear ya! My local Acme did the exact same thing. When they remodeled the store just before the holidays, the gluten free items just dissapeared.

I'm lucky that I have other stores around that carry lots of gluten-free foods--but they are still a bit of a drive. The Acme is right here in my town.

I know...I love that store, but it's a 20 minute drive. (and worth it!)

But, it was nice to have Gluten Free Pantry items at the Acme since it is so close. I guess I can't really complain though--I'm going to Wegman's later :lol:

Deb--Our Shoprite has a small gluten-free aisle, too. Not the greatest selection--but it actually saved me at the holidays. I had been to Wegman's, Whole Foods and the health food store and they were all out of the GFP pie crust mix. I stopped at Shoprite, not really expecting to find it, and they had several! It was funny because they only carry about 5 or 6 GFP products.

Our Acme right next door closed last October and we're lost without it just for regular groceries

Patti:

by the way, is the Kenny Chesney song about "Alcohol" on any album?

I'm not sure which song you mean...Kenny Chesney does a lot of songs that deal with alcohol, but none that I know of with that title.

There is a song called "Alcohol"--it's by Brad Paisley. It's on the album called "Time Well Wasted".

      Neuropathy still after 4 months gluten-free.. help

      I was not diagnosed with celiac disease, but am gluten-intolerant. I have been gluten free for almost 10 years. In April of this year (2025), I got a steroid shot. I have been able to eat sourdough bread before with no problems. After the steroid shot, I developed gluten-neuropathy, and I could no longer eat sourdough bread, and now the neuropathy returns...

      Hookwormed status report

      I should add that hookworms aren't a cure for celiac disease. Some people, and I couldn't tell you how many, stop evincing the symptoms of celiac disease while their hookworm colonies are healthy. Others have a reduction in the severity of their reactions to gluten, but should still stay well away from it. And other people don't seem to be helped much at...

      Reintroduction of Gluten

      By Suze046 · Posted

      Hi, so just to put you in the picture, I’ve had lots of digestive issues over the past 6 months, diarrhoea, constipation, gut ache, cramps, head aches, lost 2 stone in weight am perimenopausal.. need I go on. I know some of this is caused by stress and I’ve always had to watch what I eat so noting too processed of fatty and rich. I’ve had blood tests, stool tests gall bladder scan, repeated tests and nothing showed up (which is good) I tested negative for celiac back in March. I’ve just done 6 weeks gluten free and I have to say things got better. My doctor told me to reintroduce it so I did this 9 days ago but gently and I’m still keeping some gluten out of my diet. My question is how long can it take for a reaction because my diarrhoea constipation and cramps are back but only in the last 4 days and it started with a slight unsettling tum feeling first like it might kick off but not sure. So I’m wondering if this is just a coincidence or if it can take your body that long to react? Anyone else been through this? Advice needed!

I have been able to eat sourdough bread before with no problems. After the steroid shot, I developed gluten-neuropathy, and I could no longer eat sourdough bread, and now the neuropathy returns with small amounts of gluten.  I also get POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) when I eat gluten. My heart beats so fast in the middle of the night I can't sleep. I'm usually up for hours.

      This is my current exhausting battle with the medical field. As Ive mentioned in past I was diagnosed in 1994 by colonoscopy and endoscopy and was told i was celiac and to stay away from wheat and Ill be just fine.NOPE not at all in fact im worse thanks to being disregarded and my new word that was given that fits perfectly medically gaslight for over 30 years.I was not informed by anyone about the condition other than its a food allergy. Long story short if it wasn't for this website.I would be so much worse. I have been glutenfree since 1994 and was diagnosed with many other foods in 2007. I have stayed away from those items, except dairy sometimes I'll cheat when I know I'll be home a few days.My work history is horrible thanks to my digestive issues. I had my past primary for 25 years and everything im going through, he danced around celiac disease. My last day of employment was March 08, 2023 I was a bus driver and took pride in that.I get sick easily and when covid hit me and I stopped taking tramadel to push to give my bloated body a break, I haven't " bounced " back.Though not that well before but worse now.I applied for disability because yet again I was fired solely on health, which by the way seems to be legal because no lawyer wants to help.I was denied and my primary stated let me fluff it up a bit.FLUFF IT UP A BIT?He has been my doctor for 25 years! All that Im going through was basically ignored and not put together. I switched primary doctor and seeing new gi and its EXTREMELY EXHAUSTING because they are staying all my test came back clean, good, its normal. Except THANKYOU LORD JESUS HLA DQ2 is positive that Itty bitty tiny little test of positive FINALLY VALIDATION RIGHT.No, Im still struggling and fighting its not fair

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Joel K · Posted

      Since medical insurance is not affected directly by celiac disease on an ongoing basis (i.e. medication, medical devices, daily monitoring, home care nursing, etc), I rather doubt anyone would be denied a policy for having it as a pre-existing condition. I’ve certainly never been and I have two pre-existing conditions that are managed with diet alone and both are long-well-known by my doctors and via medical testing and procedures. Insurance is all about risk management, not health.
