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!

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I had the same thing happen to me at around your age, and to this day it's the most painful experience I've ever had. For me it was the right side of my head, above my ear, running from my nerves in my neck. For years before my outbreak I felt a tingling sensation shooting along the exact nerves that ended up exactly where the shingles blisters appeared. I highly recommend the two shot shingles vaccine as soon as your turn 50--I did this because I started to get the same tingling sensations in the same area, and after the vaccines I've never felt that again.  As you likely know, shingles is caused by chicken pox, which was once though of as one of those harmless childhood viruses that everyone should catch in the wild--little did they know that it can stay in your nervous system for your entire life, and cause major issues as you age.

      Gluten free nuts

      By Clear2me · Posted

      Thanks for the info. I recently moved to CA from Wyoming and in that western region the Costco and Sam's /Walmart Brands have many nuts and more products that are labeled gluten free. I was told it's because those products are packaged and processed  in different  plants. Some plants can be labeled  gluten free because the plant does not also package gluten products and they know that for example the trucks, containers equipment are not used to handle wheat, barely or Rye. The Walmart butter in the western region says gluten free but not here. Most of The Kirkland and Members Mark brands in CA say they are from Vietnam. That's not the case in Wyoming and Colorado. I've spoken to customer service at the stores here in California. They were not helpful. I check labels every time I go to the store. The stores where I am are a Sh*tshow. The Magalopoly grocery chain Vons/Safeway/Albertsons, etc. are the same. Fishers and Planters brands no longer say gluten free. It could be regional. There are nuts with sugar coatings and fruit and nut mixes at the big chains that are labeled gluten free but I don't want the fruit or sugar.  It's so difficult I am considering moving again. I thought it would be easier to find safe food in a more populated area. It's actually worse.  I was undiagnosed for most of my life but not because I didn't try to figure it out. So I have had all the complications possible. I don't have any spare organs left.  No a little gluten will hurt you. The autoimmune process continues to destroy your organs though you may not feel it. If you are getting a little all the time and as much as we try we probably all are and so the damage is happening. Now the FDA has pretty much abandoned celiacs. There are no requirements for labeling for common allergens on medications. All the generic drugs made outside the US are not regulated for common allergens and the FDA is taking the last gluten free porcine Thyroid med, NP Thyroid, off the market in 2026. I was being glutened by a generic levothyroxin. The insurance wouldn't pay for the gluten free brand any longer because the FDA took them all off their approved formulary. So now I am paying $147 out of pocket for NP Thyroid but shortly I will have no safe choice. Other people with allergies should be aware that these foreign generic pharmaceutical producers are using ground shellfish shell as pill coatings and anti-desicants. The FDA knows this but  now just waits for consumers to complain or die. The take over of Wholefoods by Amazon destroyed a very reliable source of good high quality food for people with allergies and for people who wanted good reliably organic food. Bezos thought  he could make a fortune off people who were paying alot for organic and allergen free food by substituting cheap brands from Thailand. He didn't understand who the customers were who were willing to pay more for that food and why. I went from spending hundreds to nothing because Bezo removed every single trusted brand that I was buying. Now they are closing Whole foods stores across the country. In CA, Mill Valley store (closed July 2025) and the National Blvd. store in West Los Angeles (closed October 2025). The Cupertino store will close.  In recent years I have learned to be careful and trust no one. I have been deleberately glutened in a restaurant that was my favorite (a new employee). The Chef owner was not in the kitchen that night. I've had  a metal scouring pad cut up over my food.The chain offered gluten free dishes but it only takes one crazy who thinks you're a problem as a food fadist. Good thing I always look. Good thing they didn't do that to food going to a child with a busy mom.  I give big tips and apologize for having to ask in restaurants but mental illness seem to be rampant. I've learn the hard way.          I don't buy any processed food that doesn't say gluten free.  I am a life long Catholic. I worked for the Church while at college. I don't go to Church anymore because the men at the top decided Jesus is gluten. The special hosts are gluten less not gluten free. No I can't drink wine after people with gluten in their mouth and a variety of deadly germs. I have been abandoned and excluded by my Church/Family.  Having nearly died several times, safe food is paramount. If your immune system collapses as mine did, you get sepsis. It can kill you very quickly. I spent 5 days unconscious and had to have my appendix and gall bladder removed because they were necrotic. I was 25. They didn't figure out I had celiac till I was 53. No one will take the time to tell you what can happen when your immune system gets overwhelmed from its constant fighting the gluten and just stops. It is miserable that our food is processed so carelessly. Our food in many aspects is not safe. And the merging of all the grocery chains has made it far worse. Its a disaster. Krogers also recently purchased Vitacost where I was getting the products I could no longer get at Whole Foods. Kroger is eliminating those products from Vitacost just a Bezos did from WF. I am looking for reliable and certified sources for nuts. I have lived the worst consequences of the disease and being exposed unknowingly and maliciously. Once I was diagnosed I learned way more than anyone should have to about the food industry.  I don't do gray areas. And now I dont eat out except very rarely.  I have not eaten fast food for 30 years before the celiac diagnosis. Gluten aside..... It's not food and it's not safe.  No one has got our backs. Sharing safe food sources is one thing we can do to try to be safe.
