In another post down below people were talking about gluten-free bakeries, but I've never heard of them. Where can you find listings of them?

I live in South Jersey, and could easily travel to Philly or NYC. Are there bakeries in either of those places?

The answer to your question is yes. Actually, from a little more googling, I see that Mr. Ritts now has a branch in New Jersey:

Plus, Foods by George is located in New Jersey as well:

One thing I would add, though, is that you might not be able to find bakery items that don't have casein or egg in them. I have ready access to items from a bakery in Baltimore called Sweet Sin. But every single product I've seen contains egg at least :(

So, if I were you, I would investigate before driving to one of these places.

I know of one bakery starting up that is gluten-free and vegan (hence no milk or egg). She is going to try to get her products in stores. The shipping costs to one's home are rather extreme, unfortunately.

You may need to find mixes and use dairy and egg substitutes for your yum yums.

You may want to check out Open Original Shared Link in NY city. They use alternative ingredients instead of wheat, gluten, dairy, casein and eggs. They're coming out to California too, I can't wait!!! :D

Yeah, I just went to their website, and they use spelt in half their stuff, and it would cost me 20 EXTRA dollars to get a dozen brownies shipped from NYC to CT. Their prices seem great for a NYC bakery if you were to walk in, but I'm not paying that for shipping! I could screw up five of my own batches of brownies for that!

I agree with you about the shipping, but if you're ever in NYC, Babycakes is definitely worth the trip down to the lower east side!

Shipping is a fact of life for my family. I don't like it but you have to pay the piper if you want good stuff! Unless you are in a big celiac area!! One thing to remember is to muake sure your shipping box is full & they can't stick another goodie in the box. If you are only wanting One box of something then shipping becomes a nightmare so I always have them tell me how much they can squueeze into that box. Usually it is something like a flat rate box for $20.00 so weight is not an issue....

I order from Joansgfgreatbakes for $17.00 shipping I can get five tubs of bagels & muffins plus two sweet breads & a pizza crust..

The Grainless Baker is in Pa & has some yummy breads & also they are carried by Epicure in Spring Lake Heights , NJ. plus CHris will meet you somehwere neutral if you place a big enough order.....This store also carries things from Everybody Eats so you can get a variety through Epicure.... I always spends $250.00 or so & freeze things to take advantage of the shipping.

You can buy Against the Grain in NY. Goggle them & they list stores that carry their goodies....

We live where there is nothing so I either drive for hours or do mailorder.......

good luck

I live too close to health food stores and a Whole Foods to justify that kind of cost, but if i didn't I'd be all over the internet!

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Medication

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the community! Generally, for a gluten challenge before celiac disease blood tests, Tylenol (acetaminophen) is considered safe and should not interfere with your antibody results. The medications you typically need to avoid are those like ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve) that can cause intestinal irritation, which could potentially complicate the interpretation of an endoscopy if you were to have one. However, it is absolutely crucial that you confirm this with either your gastroenterologist or your surgeon before your procedure. They know the specifics of your case and can give you the definitive green light, ensuring your surgery is comfortable and your celiac testing remains accurate. Best of luck with your surgery tomorrow
