The Grainless Baker

I already was in love with the graham crackers from The Grainless Baker, but I had the pleasure of meeting the owners and trying a whole bunch of their products on Saturday when they were having a sampling at a store in New Caanan, CT.

I seriously don't think they make anything that is less than perfect!! Everything I tried was so good I couldn't stop myself from trying something else, and something else and something else!! I was full by the time I left. LOL!!

I had the blueberry muffins (so moist and delicious), carrot cake, mock rye bread (which I have to say pretty much made my year), cheese crackers (only thing I didn't love, but I'm not a big cheese person. Someone who is would love this) and snickerdoodles.

On top of creating some of the most AMAZING products, the owners are truly a wonderful couple. So sweet. Even though there were plenty of products I didn't try, based on everything I did try I can't imagine any of their products would disappoint. They could certainly fool any gluten eater.

Oh, and I used their graham crackers a couple weeks ago to make a cheese cake for Easter at my inlaws and everyone was raving about it, and some even said the crust was their favorite part!!! I got an email the next day from one of his cousins saying that her mom was still talking about the cheesecake. LOL!!

mmm.. I'm lucky to have them nearby, My Parents live about 10 minutes from the bakery itself, but about 20 minutes from the "store front" that is a real bakery. They are moving to a new Facility soon! I love there bread and brownies!

I reccomend their stuff 100%!

The Grainless Baker is who I choose to make my own gluten-free wedding cake. My family lives near their homebase in Lake Ariel so when I am home we go to the Bakery in Moosic. When I am here, I just go to the Dillsburg store and grab what else I want. The butterfly cookies are to die for as well. John loves the Macademias and he is not even gluten free.

It is not exactly a place, they are a family owned company located in NEPA. They sell their products in stores in the surrounding states. They continue to expand too. I am so glad.

www.grainlessbaker.com

Their site has a listing of stores where you can buy their products.

Hey all I know this is an old thread but I just wanted to drop a FYI to those who may not be up to speed on the Grainless Baker. They recently moved to a bigger bakery, they have fresh baked good daily. This is slightly tricky as they also sell non gluten-free items out of the shoppe also. So while you walk in and see all the yummy stuff thinking oooh... canolis.... damn there not gluten free. The gluten stuff isn't baked there, just somewhere where you can pick it up.

As i was there... the main baker came out to talk to a customer who was his friend, he had mentioned they were thinking of going on the national market! If anyone has had Grainless baker you know how good that would be!

mmm... i'm eating graham crackers right now!

Thanks for the update I haven't checked out the new place yet. If I was on Route 6 (Casey Highway) which way would I go...in through Waymart or a different route?

I wonder if they have an updated URL as well, do you know? The one listed above does not work (for me), and when I Googled them, it came up with the same thing. Although I have a sneaking suspicion they don't get as far as the Left Coast. I will just have to continue my quest for an alternative graham cracker recipe...!!

Their goods are sold in other stores. I've been able to buy The Grainless Baker breads, cookies, and cakes at Olive May in Princeton, NJ.

I would take that to route 84, get off the Lake Ariel exit and go towards hamiln. They are right off Route 590 on J&J Road. That is the highway...

Then there is the lowway... I know the back roads over salem mountain from carbondale so that is doable too, but I think that is more of a "sunday drive" than get there and get out.

Check out google maps.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash...

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash vegetables. I noticed my stools were suddenly formed, if a bit narrow. I knew then that the diarrhea was probably food related not medication related. I tried following the fodmap diet but honestly it was just too complicated, I just lived with pooping 8x a day and wondering how I'd ever get and keep a job once my children were in school.  This past December I got my yearly bloodwork and my triglycerides were high. I looked into Dr. William Davis (wheat belly author) and he recommended going off wheat and other grains. This is the first time in my life I was reading labels to make sure there was no wheat. Within 2 weeks, not only were my stools formed and firm but I was only pooping twice a day, beautiful formed Bristol #4.  Dr. Davis allows some legumes, so I went ahead and added red lentils and beans. Nervous that the diarrhea would come back if I had IBS-D. Not only did it not come back, it just made my stools even bigger and beautiful. Still formed just with a lot more width and bulk. I've also been eating a lot of plant food like tofu, mushrooms, bell peppers, hummus etc which I thought was the cause of my diarrhea before and still, my stools are formed. In January I ran a genetics test because I knew you had to have the genes for celiac. The report came back with  DQ 2.2 plus other markers that I guess are necessary in order for it to be possible to have celiac. Apparently DQ 2.2 is the "rarer" kind but based on my report it's genetically possible for me to have celiac.  I know the next step is to bring gluten back so I can get testing but I am just not wanting to do that. After suffering with diarrhea for years I can't bring myself to do it right now. So that is where I am!
