Gluuteny a new Wheat-Free/Dairy-Free store is opening this Saturday (finally!) in Squirrel Hill.

Sure, we have Whole Foods, East End Co-Op, Trader Joe's, Nature's Way, and another store in Oakmont which I forget the name of, however this is a solely Gluten Free store to my understanding so there might be a lot more options as well as I believe they'll be making their own food as well like birthday cakes, etc.

Hopefully, this is the correct board to post this on. I wasn't sure between this one or the Restaurant one.

if I am not mistaken, there were a few members here awaiting the opening of this store. I believe Fiddle-Faddle is one of them but I may be wrong....

You're right--there's another thread about Gluuteny floating around somewhere! But, hey, the more publicity, the better, right?

Yeah, I did a search for "gluuteny" before I posted this and nothing turned up. Was there anything good in it/do you happen to have a link to it?

Ya'll are lucky!

Why would they name it that though, it makes it sound like it only sells gluten. Haha. I don't like to eat things that are "gluteny"

I laughed about the name when I first heard it, I was like "why in the world would they name it that?!!" oh well, maybe I'll ask if I end up going. :)

Well I made it to the grand opening , first one in the door.......

They passed out samples of what they were selling for the day.....Nice, friendly people..

They had a very good cinnamon pound cake loaf.cupcakes sold at $1.90 for one or $ ten something for 6. A bit pricey.....I took the cupcakes to a bday party & two adults & two kids ate them. All of us decided they were good but the ones I make are moister & better tasting.... , the others gave a thumbs up in regards to the cin. loaf... Mini brownies were 5 for $2.19. Tasty & seemed like the same recipe I use at home.

I was a bit surprised that they didn't have all the foods they were going to be baking today .

When we left there was a line outside the building & I think they ran out of product before the days end. It appeared to be a calm chaos ....

I wish them well & glad to see someone is giving more choices to the gluten-free Pittsburghers...

Cool, I'm glad they actually did open then. I didn't make it because I'm ill from a separate and non-related medical condition from celiac disease plus I'm broke until the twenty-eighth. Hopefully, they'll have more stuff by then.

So, everything in the store is gluten-free? I'll be in "the burgh" for Thanksgiving, and I was worried about having MIL go shopping for me before I get there. I may send her there to pick up a few things. I know it's 2 months away, but this is going to be my first attempt to live off the food from someone else's kitchen since going 100% gluten free... I'm stressing :o

For some reason, I never forgot that you lived close to the Pittsburgh area. :)

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies. Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much...

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
