Hey Everyone

I am from Nova Scotia Canada and my husband is heading down to maine for a week and i want to send a list of food for him to pick up and i am looking for ideas of gluten free food that is sold down there and where he can go to buy it.

I have a 2 1/2 year old who was recently diagnosed and i am interested in different cereals, cookies, meal ideas and anything really.

If anyone could help me out with some idea and info i would really appreciate it.

THANKS

NICOLE

I am from Portland and there is a Whole Foods store with a TON of gluten free stuff. My 3.5 year old loves the Glutino cereal, Envirokids gorilla munch cereal, and especially the Enviorkids Peanut Butter cereal bars. He eats one every day, sometimes two ! We love the Pamela's Wheat free bread mix - he eats that for toast and peanut butter, and the Gluten Free pantry brownie mix make great brownies. I just picked up Pamela's chocolate chip cookies (small cookies) but they are very good. Glutino also has wafer cookies that are good. Kinnikinik has choc. chip that are also good. Also a good easy snack my son loves is the stretch island fruit (I think that is what they are called) - they come as pressed fruit in just a short strip, or long fruit rolls.

There is also Lois' Natural Foods in Scarborough, right next to Portland which has a lot of gluten free foods too, and isn't quite as overwhelming. The staff there are very helpful and they also have a kitchen and bake gluten free foods there daily, so if your husband wants something freshly cooked that is an option. My sister in law lives in Bangor and she has mentioned there is a place there that serves gluten free pizza. I can find out the name of the restaurant if you like. Also - Flatbread pizza on the waterfront in Portland has a gluten free pizza dough. These are just things off the top of my head, but if you have more specific questions - let me know and I can do my best to answer. Hope he has a good trip!

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
