DH and i were thinking about starting up a gluten free bakery and selling online. It would require a HUGE investment, and I am not 100% sure if there is a good market out there for it. What do you guys think?

I would offer bread, rolls, pizza crust, tortillas (flour type), maybe soft pretzels, and stuff like that. And maybe eventually offer mixes.

A bakery would be good.....I think there is always room for more, and it would be great to have more choices. Funny you mentioned this, b/c my dh and I have talked about starting something up also. I don't think I would ever actually do it though, I can't even manage my laundry pile these days, let alone start my own business. But our idea was to package family size gluten free meals, that use naturally gluten free ingredients for the most part, so it wouldn't cost a fortune.

Like you guys, we have four kids, and we are all gluten free. What I would give on some nights to just pop something in the oven when I don't feel like cooking. But there is nothing out there (that I know of) available in family sizes....like those big Stouffer's dinners that really CAN serve 6 people, lol. Amy's attempts it with the enchildadas, but it looks like it would really only feed about two people, and Amy's always makes me sick anyway.

But baked items are good too.....I don't mind paying a bit extra for baked goods, b/c I can never seem to get gluten free baking right. I just use mixes now, it saves me the frustration. So, I would buy from you!

If your have the time, the money and the energy I would go for it. I would also have an on site fresh baked goods store perhaps even on with a little coffee and sitting area and make sure the ovens vent to the outside. If you also do corn tortillas I bet you could draw nonceliacs also and perhaps even offer samples of gluten-free baked goods. Much of the gluten free stuff is really not bad at all and quite palatable to gluten eaters once they get the chance to try it.

I'm going to go find the website for a gluten-free bakery that opened around here and post it for you to look at and get the # at. Maybe you could call and talk to the owners and find out a little info from them. We drove about 45 minutes one Saturday to check it out. Carleigh liked their stuff, but she likes mine too. If it were closer, I would definitely go there more. There were only 3 things that she could have because of the other allergies, though.

I wonder if you could "start" it out of your house and grow the business from there. Advertise in the health food stores and online etc.

I looked into that also, and it unfortunately was a lot more difficult than I thought. I am not sure of the health/safety rules where you are from, but there are a LOT of guidelines (even if you just sell them online). If you do choose to, good luck!

      Are Gluten-Free Processed Foods Making You Sick? (+Video)

      This article came at an important time for me. I suffered an entire year with unilateral neuropathy (nerve pain). It was finally a physiotherapist who discussed my diet with me. She knew her stuff! She asked me what I had for breakfast every day. I said, avocado toast. She said that the avocado was good but that the toast was devoid of nutrients, and was...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      High fiber can definitely cause sudden GI distress especially if it’s a new addition but accidental gluten exposure can feel similar. Keeping a simple food/symptom log and introducing new gluten-free foods one at a time can really help you spot the pattern. This is really helpful I had not considered sugar alcohols or inulin as triggers. Thanks f...

Thiamax (TTFD) plus a B-complex, and if you want benfotiamine, the Life Extension formula covers that at ~100 mg.

The Life extensions contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine together or im confusing myself. I am trying to see if I take Thiamax what should I take for Benfotiamine. Thanks EDITING after further research I see ones water soluble ones fat soluble. So I guess 100MG as you suggested of Life Extension contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride. and the Objective Nutrients Thiamax contains TTFD.     would work for me.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.
