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!

      How long does it take to gain weight?

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!
