Could somebody please tell me if and where I can get Pita Pockets? Oh I do miss my cold or hot chicken and garden salad sandwiches! :unsure:

Canadian source would be great, however I would go to the moon for a good Pita! :rolleyes:

Thanks in advance!

Not sure why, but this disappeared from the page?? I had to do a search to find it. Can someone tell my why?

New to the board! :blink:

Thanks!

Yes--it disappeared because it wasn't pinned. That means that a moderator hadn't seen it yet, verified that it was a valid post, and thus, moved it to the front of the forum. I have just pinned it, so it's now at the front of the foods, products, shopping, and medications section.

I wish, I was just thinking how good chicken salad in a pita pocket would be.

Now you see my dilemma.... :blink: We used to broil or BBQ chicken breast, slice it still warm, then top with garden salad and a ranch dressing... it was also awesome with leftover taco beef!! Oh, my kingdom for a Pita Pocket... :rolleyes:

I haven't found any pita pockets (used to live on them) but I did invest

in an electric tortilla maker - Villaware (I'm allergic to yeast too, so no bread). Since I have a ton of other food allergies I'm limited in the flour area. So, a mixture of tapioca, quinoa, and potato flours with flax meal instead of shortening has turned out pretty good. Rice flour tends to get rubbery. It's not as convenient

as the pocket but works for me and it's pretty easy to do.

:P

FOUND IT!!! i needed a easy gluten-free bread to take for lunch and i found a recipe...sorry its not already made. the site is:

Open Original Shared Link

the recipe is:

Ingredients:Serves: 6-8

1 1/3 cups cornstarch

1 cup tapioca starch or 1 cup tapioca flour

2/3 cup garbanzo flour or 2/3 cup garfava flour

1/3 cup sorghum flour

2 tablespoons sugar

1 tablespoon xanthan gum

2 1/4 teaspoons quick-rising yeast

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/4 cups warm water

Directions:

1 Combine dry ingredients in large mixing bowl and set aside.

2 Pour warm water into automatic bread maker pan and add dry ingredients; set machine to dough setting and turn on. Use spatula as necessary to scrape sides and incorporate evenly - dough will be soft and sticky.

3 Knead for only 5 minutes; remove from pan and divide into six to eight balls of dough; cover.

4 Using a rolling pin and board heavily covered with corn starch, very lightly stretch one dough ball into a circle about 6" in diameter and 1/4" thick. The dough will be sticky, but light hands and a generous dusting of corn starch will yield chewy and crusty (not tough) pitas.

5 Place on a lightly greased cookie sheet sprinkled with corn meal or gluten-free flour. Cover cookie sheet with waxed paper to keep pitas from drying out.

6 Repeat rolling of each ball of dough; allow to rise in a warm place for about 30-40 minutes.

7 Preheat oven to 450

I recently ordered some pita pockets from glutenfreepalace.com. I ordered the pita pockets which were heaven mill brand. They are very good, but I am having trouble getting them open... I have never used these before and I am not sure I am doing it correctly. I also ordered the schars rolls and bread... these are very good products, the best I have found in gluten free. I hope you order some and enjoy them. Oh, freeze the pita pockets as soon as you get them. They will mold quickly if you dont.

Some people get mad when they don't get a response from the OP. Then they PM me and tell me how rude everyone is for not thanking them or answering them. :D

      I didn’t know there were different types of CT. I’m not sure which I had. It just said CT scan with contrast.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      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....

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.
