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.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.
