Hello All,

Strange request, but long story short my Mom's got celiac and she's out of town. One of our family friends' grandson was just diagnosed and needs to know where to go to get food, baked goods, etc. I can't get a hold of mama and I don't want this poor guy to starve! If anyone or everyone could kindly give me a few places I know that Mrs. B's grandbaby would be very appreciative. Feel free to just email me @ kellyhuiskamp@mac.com

Thanks so Much!

Kelly :blink::D:lol:;)

Festival Foods has gluten free foods in their natural food aisle and freezer. At least the one in Green bay does. They carry Kinnikinnick breads, donuts, and other baked goods in the freezer. Kinnikinnick also sells mixes. Bob Red mill has mixes that are gluten free and cake mixes from a couple places that are reliable. Gluten Free Pantry has great bread mixes that I buy all the time. They also have pie crust and corn muffin mix.

I buy rice chips there from Lundbergs which also makes rice cakes that are good for anything you would put on a slice of bread. Lundberg is known for their rice and I eat it almost everyday.

There is a great pasta made by Tinkyada that everyone loves even gluten eaters. They sell it there along with a couple of other brands. They sell gluten free flour by Pamela's. I love her brownie mix and pancake mix.

You can also buy these things from Lame Advertisement. if they want to go that route. Sometimes the shipping is free. There are Amy's products and some of her things are gluten free but people have been known to react to them. A good thing to do is start out by cooking your own meals using the basics; fruits, veggies, meat, and rice before you start using the processed foods.

Tell them to buy new cutting boards, teflon pans, toaster, colander, because gluten can be stuck in cracks and crevises and you just can't get them clean enough.

This should help until your mom gets home. She'll know should be a big help.

      You might consider asking for a referral to a RD (Registered Dietician) to help with food choices and planning a diet. Even apart from any gluten issues, you will likely find there are some foods you need to avoid because of the shorter bowel but you may also find that your system may make adjustments over time and that symptoms may improve.

      I wish Dr’s would have these discussions with their patients. So frustrating but will continue to do research. Absolutely love this website. I will post any updates on my testing and results.  Thank you

      Losing 12" of your small bowel is going to present challenges for you in nutritional uptake because you are losing a significant amount of nutritional absorption surface area. You will need to focus on consuming foods that are nutritionally dense and also probably look at some good supplements. If indeed you are having issues with gluten you will need to educate yourself as to how gluten is hidden in the food supply. There's more to it than just avoiding the major sources of gluten like bread and pasta. It is hidden in so many things you would never expect to find it in like canned tomato soup and soy sauce just to name a few. It can be in pills and medications.  Also, your "yellow diarrhea, constipation and bloating" though these are classic signs of a gluten disorder, could also be related to the post surgical shorter length of your small bowel causing incomplete processing/digestion of food.

      Yes this information helps. I will continue to be pro active with this issues I am having. More testing to be done. Thank you so much for your response.

      There are two gluten-related disorders that share many of the same symptoms but differ in nature from each other. One is known as celiac disease or "gluten intolerance". By nature, it is an autoimmune disorder, meaning the ingestion of gluten triggers the body to attack it's own tissues, specifically the lining of the small bowel. This attack causes inflammation and produces antibodies that can be detected in the blood by specific tests like the TTG-IGA test you had. Over time, if gluten is not withheld, this inflammation can cause severe damage to the lining of the small bowel and even result in nutrient deficiency related health issues since the small bowel lining is organ where all the nutrition found in our food is absorbed.  The other is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just "gluten sensitivity") which we know less about and are unsure of the exact mechanism of action. It is not an autoimmune disorder and unlike celiac disease it does not damage the lining of the small bowel, though, like celiac disease, it can cause GI distress and it can also do other kinds of damage to the body. It is thought to be more common than celiac disease. Currently, we cannot test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out to arrive at a diagnosis of NCGS. Both disorders require elimination of gluten from the diet.  Either of these disorders can find their onset at any stage of life. We know that celiac disease has a genetic component but the genes are inactive until awakened by some stress event. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% develop active celiac disease. The incidence of NCGS is thought to be considerably higher. I hope this helps.
