My husband is a youth minister and we are taking our youth group to a summer camp in June at Bryan College in Dayton, Tennessee. (Just outside of Chattanooga). I am looking for places to buy gluten-free food to keep at the college. They have been very helpful at the college at trying to accomodate me, but I would really like to find some frozen meals, or bread that I can have on hand just in case. I know that Chattanooga is much bigger than where I live, so I thought there had to be something!Thanks for the help!

You're in luck! My daughter is in college in Tennessee...and just called me ECSTATIC because she finally found a place that has gluten-free breads, etc. She's just ordered her first gluten-free birthday cake. I THINK this is the place...

she didn't tell me the address - but I was looking for it online to order her some treats. :)

Hey I live halfway between Chattanooga and Dayton and unfortunately there aren't too many "TRUE" gluten free products to be found there but I stumbled upon a really awesome place near the downtown area called A Bountiful Harvest. Not to be confussed with Great Harvest Bread Company which is also in Chattanooga. A Bountiful Harvest is probably where your daughter got her cake as they are the only place in Chattanooga who bakes wheat free, gluten free and sugar free cakes and cookies. I'd recommend you take a look at their website www.abountifulharvest.com and pick out your favorite choices before stopping in because they have such a HUGE selection of goodies it can be a bit overwhelming if your like me and have searched endlessly for all natural wheat, sugar and gluten free products. I usually have to order any cakes a few days in advance becuase they are always busy but they are some decent folks who have a dedicated bakery not contaminated by wheat or gluten. They always have loads of cookies ready to grab and go. Hope this helps ya'll. :DOpen Original Shared Link

I just wanted to let you know that you can get a lot of Gluten free products at the Village Market in Collegedale Tennesee If you are on I-75 go north toward Knoxville take exit 11 the Ooltewah exit...turn right on Little Debbie Parkway go to the end and turn left (I think it is apison pike) go through one light. go to the stop sign and turn right past McKee Plant (Little Debbie) The Village Market is on the left. They have breads, pizza crusts, donuts, english muffins, ect in the frozen section. They also carry some of the Amy Gluten Free products and they have two diffent kind of Gluten free Hot Tamalies as well as Alexis gluten free fries. They have lots of gluten free pastas to choose from and they will give you a list if you ask of there gluten free products but you should check them all on the list because the list is really just wheat free stuff. They have alot of cereal and flours and even vinager free pickles and vinager free salsa for those that are sensitive to vinager. Also, Greenlife grocrey at 1100 Hixson Pike in Chattanooga, Tennessee carries all kinds of Gluten free foods as well and they have signs on there shelfs that tell what is gluten free so there is not as much reading of ingredients involved. They have Kind bars there they are gluten free snack bars kind of like granola bars and they have a couple kinds of the Sunshine burgers if you are a vegetarian. Also, they are pretty reasonable. The Great Hearvst Bead store is off the signal Mt exit and there bread is amazing. They make everything from Pecan bread that melts in your mouth to scones to muffins (not cheap but really good) They make there gluten free breads on Mondays and it goes fast but if you call in an order they will make it for you whenever you are going to be in town. Hope this helps.

      Fermented foods, Kefir, Kombucha?

      I have read fermented foods like sauerkraut, pickles, Kefir, Kombucha are great for gut health besides probiotics. However I have searched and read about ones that were tested (Kefir, Kombucha) and there is no clear one that is very helpful. Has anyone take Kefir, Kombucha and noticed a difference in gut health? I read one is lactose free but when tested...

      Thanks again for the detailed explanation. Just to clarify, I actually did have my initial tests done while I was still consuming gluten. I stopped eating gluten only after those tests were completed, and it has now been about 70 days since I went gluten-free.

      Blood tests for thiamine are unreliable. The nutrients from your food get absorbed into the bloodstream and travel around the body. So, a steak dinner can falsely raise thiamine blood levels in the following days. Besides, thiamine is utilized inside cells where stores of thiamine are impossible to measure. A better test to ask for is the Erythrocyte...

      Neither of them were anemic 6 months after the Celiac diagnosis. His other vitamin levels (d, B12) were never low. My daughters levels were normal after the first 6 months. Is the thiamine test just called thiamine?

      Yes, I do think they need a Thiamine supplement at least. Especially since they eat red meat only occasionally. Most fruits and vegetables are not good sources of Thiamine. Legumes (beans) do contain thiamine. Fruits and veggies do have some of the other B vitamins, but thiamine B 1 and Cobalamine B12 are mostly found in meats. Meat, especially organ...

I read one is lactose free but when tested was high in lactose so I would probably try a non dairy one. Thanks

      Thanks again for the detailed explanation. Just to clarify, I actually did have my initial tests done while I was still consuming gluten. I stopped eating gluten only after those tests were completed, and it has now been about 70 days since I went gluten-free. I understand the limitations around diagnosing NCGS and the importance of antibody testing and biopsy for celiac disease. Unfortunately, where I live, access to comprehensive testing (including total IgA and endoscopy with biopsy) is limited, which makes things more complicated. Your explanation about small-bowel damage, nutrient absorption, and iron-deficiency anemia still aligns closely with my history, and it’s been very helpful in understanding what may be going on. I don't wanna get Endoscopy and I can't start eating Gluten again because it's hurt really with severe diarrhea.  I appreciate you taking the time to share such detailed and informative guidance. Thank you so much for this detailed and thoughtful response. I really appreciate you pointing out the relationship between anemia and antibody patterns, and how the high DGP IgG still supports celiac disease in my case. A gluten challenge isn’t something I feel safe attempting due to how severe my reactions were, so your suggestion about genetic testing makes a lot of sense. I’ll look into whether HLA testing is available where I live and discuss it with my doctor. I also appreciate you mentioning gastrointestinal beriberi and thiamine deficiency. This isn’t something any of my doctors have discussed with me, and given my symptoms and nutritional history, it’s definitely worth raising with them. I’ll also ask about correcting deficiencies more comprehensively, including B vitamins alongside iron. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and taking the time to help. I’ll update the forum as I make progress.

      Blood tests for thiamine are unreliable.  The nutrients from your food get absorbed into the bloodstream and travel around the body.  So, a steak dinner can falsely raise thiamine blood levels in the following days.  Besides, thiamine is utilized inside cells where stores of thiamine are impossible to measure. A better test to ask for is the Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test.  But even that test has been questioned as to accuracy.  It is expensive and takes time to do.   Because of the discrepancies with thiamine tests and urgency with correcting thiamine deficiency, the World Health Organization recommends giving thiamine for several weeks and looking for health improvement.  Thiamine is water soluble, safe and nontoxic even in high doses.   Many doctors are not given sufficient education in nutrition and deficiency symptoms, and may not be familiar with how often they occur in Celiac disease.  B12 and Vitamin D can be stored for as long as a year in the liver, so not having deficiencies in these two vitamins is not a good indicator of the status of the other seven water soluble B vitamins.  It is possible to have deficiency symptoms BEFORE there's changes in the blood levels.   Ask your doctor about Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine that is better absorbed than Thiamine Mononitrate.  Thiamine Mononitrate is used in many vitamins because it is shelf-stable, a form of thiamine that won't break down sitting around on a store shelf.  This form is difficult for the body to turn into a usable form.  Only thirty percent is absorbed in the intestine, and less is actually used.   Thiamine interacts with all of the other B vitamins, so they should all be supplemented together.  Magnesium is needed to make life sustaining enzymes with thiamine, so a magnesium supplement should be added if magnesium levels are low.   Thiamine is water soluble, safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  There's no harm in trying.

      Yes, I do think they need a Thiamine supplement at least. Especially since they eat red meat only occasionally. Most fruits and vegetables are not good sources of Thiamine.  Legumes (beans) do contain thiamine.  Fruits and veggies do have some of the other B vitamins, but thiamine B 1 and  Cobalamine B12 are mostly found in meats.  Meat, especially organ meats like liver, are the best sources of Thiamine, B12, and the six other B vitamins and important minerals like iron.   Thiamine has antibacterial and antiviral properties.  Thiamine is important to our immune systems.  We need more thiamine when we're physically ill or injured, when we're under stress emotionally, and when we exercise, especially outside in hot weather.  We need thiamine and other B vitamins like Niacin B 3 to keep our gastrointestinal tract healthy.  We can't store thiamine for very long.  We can get low in thiamine within three days.  Symptoms can appear suddenly when a high carbohydrate diet is consumed.  (Rice and beans are high in carbohydrates.)  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so symptoms can wax and wane depending on what one eats.  The earliest symptoms like fatigue and anxiety are easily contributed to other things or life events and dismissed.   Correcting nutritional deficiencies needs to be done quickly, especially in children, so their growth isn't stunted.  Nutritional deficiencies can affect intelligence.  Vitamin D deficiency can cause short stature and poor bone formation.   Is your son taking anything for the anemia?  Is the anemia caused by B12 or iron deficiency?
