Dixie Lily Corn Products

I just found out that Dixie Lily is in bankruptcy. That means no more DL or Arnett Mills products will be available. Their products (grits, corn meal, etc.) have been removed from all our local stores. They were the only company I knew of that had "corn only" facilities. I am almost out of corn meal and can't function without cornbread in south Georgia.

Anyone know of another company that has corn only facilities? We are super sensitive around here and CC is definitely a problem.

Oh yeah, guys...I live in a small town and we don't have options outside the standard Winn Dixie, Harvey's, or Wal-mart. Any "gluten free" specialty foods would have to be mail ordered at significantly higher cost.

I still have not found a good source for corn meal (already milled, store bought). I have figured out that I can create an acceptable alternative by milling corn in my flour mill. I set it on the most course setting. The resulting flour requires a little extra baking powder, but is otherwise quite usable.

Thought any of you watching might want to have an update!

Hey, I hope you don't think this is Spam but my wife works for China Doll Rice and Beans (Saraland, AL) and they are the owners of the Dixie Lily brand and it is coming back! Not all stores are carrying it but my own company Southern Traditional Foods has a licence to sell it via mail order and on the web.

Again, sorry if this is considered Spam and I fully understand if this message gets deleted but I thought you guys should know that there was a lot of bad press for Dixie Lily recently and the brand has survived.

Thanks for reading.

Ian.

      Dealing with celiac and menstrual cycle

      Good point, as thyroid conditions are more common in those with celiac disease: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/thyroid-pancreatic-disorders-and-celiac-disease/

      @DebD5 it sounds like you are in the super sensitive celiac disease zone--and if so your reactions are real, and not psychological, as your doctor implied.  It's also possible you have other dietary triggers so be sure to look at that article in my last post in this thread.

      How many people here are aware that there are 9 types of gluten that Celiacs should be aware of?

      By DebD5 · Posted

      I would like to say you saved me. I’ve been so sick the last few years, celiac since 1997. And reading your post about the other glutens/grains that can be sensitive to celiacs, is the only thing that has ever helped me. Since going off a carbohydrates/grains, even gluten-free ones, My chronic pain is  85% better. I’m actually losing weight which, that’s a long story but was impossible. I definitely am like you. Thank you so very much for posting. For some of celiacs I do believe this is the magic key.

      Curious if I should quit my job

      I 100% believe if you were sticking gluten items, especially flour, and breathed it in you could be glutened. I’m a celiac for almost 30 years. For the first ten years as a celiac I’d help my polish family make pierogis at Christmas time. I would only cook them at the stove and I didn’t touch anything with my hands using spoons. But the flour is in the air. And I’d get violently ill for 1-2 weeks after the last few years I did it. Wearing a back is a great suggestion and washing your clothes and showering when you get home. Good luck. And I’m so sorry your parents are emotionally supporting you.

      Dealing with celiac and menstrual cycle

      Have you had your thyroid checked? I was diagnosed at 24 with celiac. Lost my period permanently at 32. Found out six months after I lost my period that I had 1 ovary with 1 follicle. I had a child already but wanted more. Ended up having two more children with one ovary and one follicle. But my doctors theories are if I would have gotten my thyroid checked sooner and fixed through medication, maybe things would look different. Who knows. I only share my experience so you question your doctors and advocate. Always see an endocrinologist for thyroid care fyi. Actually always see the specific Dr for your specific ailments. I’d also consider seeing a gynecologist that specializes in female hormones/menopausal symptoms. Early ovarian failure happens in celiacs so I read  on the celiac disease center in Chicago website.
