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.

      Trying to read my lab results

      By trents · Posted

      You have three celiac disease specific antibody tests that are positive: Endomysial  Antibody IGA (aka, EMA), tTG-IGA, and tTG_IGG. Furthermore, your Immunoglobulin A at 55 is low, meaning you are IGA deficient. This one is not an antibody test for celaic disease per se but a measure of "total IGA" levels and if low (yours is low) it can suppress the individual antibody scores and even cause false negatives. So, yes, it definitely looks like you have celiac disease.   Do not yet begin a gluten free diet as your physician may refer you to a GI doc for an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining for confirmation of the antibody testing. This may help:

      Trying to read my lab results

      By Bayb · Posted

      Hi, I received my labs via email yesterday and have not heard back from my doctor yet. Can anyone tell me if these results indicate I have Celiac?      Endomysial Antibody IgAPositive  Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA6  H0-3 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 3 - Weak Positive 4 - 10 - Positive >10 - Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten-sensitive enteropathy. FImmunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum55  L87-352 (mg/dL) Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgG183  H0-5 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 5 - Weak Positive 6 - 9 - Positive >9

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      Mine is definitely triggered by inflammation and stress! I do also have arthritis in my spine, but the pain is more in my pelvic area. Im sure i have other food intolerances or other autoimmune isues but the more I focus on it and see doctor after doctor, it just gets worse.  Best thing is get of Gluten! (I also avoid lactose). Try to limit stress and anything that causes inflammation in your body.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By ButWhatCanIEat · Posted

      Good morning,   I got an email about replies to this post. Some of my doctors had blamed a slipped disc for the pain I had and that contributes, but after meeting with a gastroenterologist AGAIN and trying some lifestyle modifications, I found out I have IBS and can't tolerate corn or excessive fructose to any degree. Cutting out corn AFTER having cut out all gluten containing products was a real pain but I feel much better now!

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.
