I hope everyone is doing well today. I just moved here to Washington about a week ago, I'm in the Port Angeles area. I'm wondering if anyone knows of any good gluten-free stores, I have not had good luck looking online and we don't have a phone book yet. :huh:

Thanks--Shez30

Welcome to Washington! Sunny Valley Wheat Free is a dedicated gluten-free place is in Maple Valley, WA. Quite a drive from Port Angeles, but they also offer some of their products (no perishables) for sale on-line. Their web address is www.sunnyvalleywheatfree.com.

I haven't been to Port Angeles in years, so I may not be much help. But here is a few suggestions. Fred Meyers tends to carry allot of gluten-free foods. If you request certain products most of the time they will get them in for you. Sometimes they may require you to buy the whole case, however.

Bremerton, (i know a bit of a drive) has a place that makes gluten-free pizza. Foley's Pizza 724 Lebo BLVD Bremerton, WA 360-373-7222. They recommend you call ahead to make sure they have gluten-free dough available that day.

Bain Bridge Island (about the same amount of driving time as Bremerton). Has a couple of places. Blackbird Bakery 210 Winslow Way E. 206-780-1322. and Mora ice creamery offers gluten-free ice cream cones. Located at 139 Madrone Ln 206-855-8822. Both places also recommend calling ahead to make sure they have it available.

I talked to someone that used to work at Blackbird and she said there is flour everywhere and they don't really pay attention to CC issues. I personally would never eat there (or get coffee).

I used to live in Port Townsend. There is some gluten free stuff at the co-op there. Does P.A. have a food co-op or natural foods store? I see on the web a "Good To Go" natural foods store, as well as "Country Air Natural Foods". I don't know if either is good, but often healthfood stores have stocks of gluten free stuff. They would also be likely to order things in for you.

Also, I think there is a support group:

Port Angeles - Resource:

Contact: Joe Clemens

P.O. Box 3201

Port Angeles, WA 98362-0342

Tel: (360) 417-0307

I got that off another page, so am unsure it is still the case.

Good luck. The peninsula is beautiful. Hopefully you'll get out to the coast and do some of those amazing day hikes with the huge rock sculptures on the beach.

Welcome to WAshington!

p.s. I live in Bellingham now, close to the Canadian border.

Yikes! good to know, thanks for the warning. I will steer clear of there if I ever make it out that way.

If you just take a day trip from Seattle, Town & Country Market is within walking distance and they have brown rice tortillas, almond crackers, frozen gluten-free breads, and the salad bar has all ingredients marked on the salads (including 'wheat' when soy sauce was used).

Check out Manna Mills in Mountlake terrace. They have a huge selection of gluten-free stuff. Stuff like dinner rolls tons of different types of mixes and even "oreos" (they taste like the real deal.

      thank you for your advice. I have always taken them and I use Stonehedge because they are in a glass bottle, but don't have to be refrigerated. I also like they are 3rd party tested and state gluten free. But you never know if something better has come alone over the years.

      I am new here but celiac disease is not new to me. I was diagnosed with it at age 60. At the time I weighed a whopping 89 pounds. I was so ignorant to celiac so I buried myself in learning all about it and looking for food I could eat. I lost so much weight and stayed sick all the time. So to combat the sickness I was give all sorts of meds for loose bowels...

I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and  gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem I have is a gag reflex out of this world and if something doesn't taste good it is not going down. Most commercially made breads and such taste like old cardboard.Pastas are about the same. I did find one flour that I like and use it regularly, but it is so expensive! All gluten free food is way more expensive. I only eat twice a day because I cannot afford to buy all that. We live on a very low income so my food purchases are quite limited.

      What you've described—the severe weight loss, the cycle of medications making things worse, and the profound fear of eating before leaving the house—is a heavy burden to carry for 15 years. It is absolutely not your fault. While everyone's journey with celiac is different, the struggles with the learning curve, social isolation, and dietary grief are feelings many in the community know all too well. Your question about whether you should just eat what you want and manage the symptoms is a heartbreaking one, born from years of frustration. It's crucial to know that the diarrhea is a sign of ongoing damage to your small intestine from gluten, and simply managing the symptom with Imodium doesn't stop that internal harm or the risk of other complications. The fact that you are still getting sick within an hour of eating, even while trying to be gluten-free, is a huge red flag that something isn't right. This could be due to cross-contamination in your kitchen (e.g., using a shared toaster, colander, or condiment jars), hidden gluten in foods, or the possibility of another concurrent condition like refractory celiac disease. Don't give up!  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      I am new here but celiac disease is not new to me. I was diagnosed with it at age 60. At the time I weighed a whopping 89 pounds. I was so ignorant to celiac so I buried myself in learning all about it and looking for food I could eat. I lost so much weight and stayed sick all the time. So to combat the sickness I was give all sorts of meds for loose bowels and vomiting. All that just made me sicker. Eventually I chucked it all and went back to eating like I had all my life. Now I am from the south and biscuits and gravy are a big part of our food, as are breaded foods, pasta, and sandwich bread. Through the years I would try to do the gluten free thing again and am doing it now. It has not helped any. Within and hour of eating I have to run to the bathroom. I am now 75 and am wondering if I should just forget it and eat what I like, take Immodium and live the best I can. I cannot eat before going anywhere for fear of embarrassing myself. Family and church dinners are out of the question unless I eat and run straight home. I am so frustrated I just want to sit down and cry or throw something. Does everyone go through all this?
