My daugthter is on a gluten and dairy free diet. We'll be staying with family in Williamsburg, VA and I'm wondering where I can find gluten-free products in stores. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Hello,

I was in Williamsburg back in the spring and had a wonderful time by the way. I only went to the main grocery store Krapps I think its called or Kropps? I brought alot of gluten free goodies with me in my suitcase such as glutino pretzels, bread etc. so I didn't search for a health food store but Krapps had a decent sized health food area with frozen gluten free entrees etc. and I noticed a few mixes for brownies etc. didn't look too hard since I brought alot of stuff with me. They also had boarshead meat and cheeses which are gluten free. Maybe someone else knows of a natural grocer in the area. If you go to busch gardens, they didn't say a thing about me bringing in a bag of lunch (they would object to a cooler), I just told them I was on a diet restriction and they didn't even bother to look in my bag. The next day I packed regular stuff in there for hubby and daughter since they thought the food there wasn't worth the expensive prices :P It was a cooler time then so I just kept it in the lockers till we were hungry but now if you bring sandwhiches etc. you can take it to the nurse station and they will keep it in the refrigerator for you. Have fun!

I know the store - it is Ukrop's. Have not been there since we started the gluten/milk free thing, so it's good to know they have some items there. I am going to bring some food with me, but it's helpful to get an idea of how much I need to bring vs. what I can buy there. Thanks!

Yes, Ukrop's is really good about gluten-free stuff.

And Busch Gardens is really good about letting you bring your own food into the park (the whole family-friendly image). And if you go to Busch Gardens, make sure to take in some of the shows - they're really spectacular! :)

There is a great store, but it is a little further south, in Virginia Beach. Navan Foods.

Thanks for knowing the name Sue (krapps! Oh well I was kinda close :P) . I really liked shopping there wish I had one in Colorado! Know what you mean by trying to know how much to bring especially now that alot of airlines are charging you for a second suitcase! My second suitcase is where I loaded my gluten free stuff.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
