I just called the manager at Central Market to see if they would order the Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips, which even Whole Foods does not carry, here. He said that two weeks ago they expanded their gluten free selection of foods & created an 8 foot section of wheat free & gluten free foods!!!!! OMG, how exciting.

I have not been in the store in about a month!!! It is all I can do to not drive over there this afternoon! :blink:

He said that he would have the Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips for me by Friday!!!!

Have I died & gone to Heaven???????

Anybody else seeing changes in your area grocery stores????

That's awesome! Do you know of anything on the far NW side of houston? Unfortunately Central Market is quite far from me *bleh*

I am in Tomball/Spring/Klein/Woodlands-ish area :)

I do not know anything in the Northwest Side. Central Market has never even had a gluten-free section must less 8 Feet!! Do you have a Whole Foods up there? a Kroger signature store? In Austin the Kroger stores & the HEB stores have a lot of gluten-free foods.

I think Central Market would be worth the trip from where you are. I would make it an all day outing. How about a Saturday morning matinee at the IMAX Edwards Theater at 610 & I-10 West. Then lunch at any number of places, like Carrabas, Pei Wei, Pappadeaux, Pappasitoes, P F Chang's, then swing over to Central Market inside the loop on Westheimer. Take a cooler of course. Across the street at Rice Supermarket, pick up some See's Chocolates. Then you could swing by Whole Foods on Kirby & Alabama (take Westheimer to Kirby & take a right, WF on the left.

Take a couple of short cuts & get across I-10 at Waugh Drive, (there is also a Pei Wei on Waugh Drive) which cuts thru the Heights take a right to Airline & then a left on Airline, then Cannino's Farmers market on the right. They are open till 8:00p,m, each night. When you have bought more goodies than you can eat in 3 weeks, continue on Airline two blocks to 610 loop right near 45 North & back home...

Have the refrig empty & ready for a "cooking" day the next day!!!!!!!

Or early in day head to the Museum of Natural Science or Museum of Art - you can eat at Cafe Express in the Musuem of art. Take your own food for the Museum of Science. Cut thru to Kirby on the return trip, can eat dinner at Goode's Barbeque on Kirby, continue past Whole Foods to Westheimer (also a Carrabbas on Kirby) & take a left to Central Market. Continue on Westhimer headed West & get on the 610 loop & head home or stop at the Imax Edwards Theatre. The Container Stores is also at Westheimer right outside the loop, across the street from the Galleria. Love their glass containers etc.

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Body dysmorphia experience

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress...

      Heat intolerant... Yikes

      The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium. Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend...

      I am so sorry you are going through this; it sounds incredibly overwhelming and disheartening to be dismissed by the very medical professionals you're turning to for help. It is completely understandable that you feel lost and exhausted, not just from the relentless physical symptoms like the leg pain, stomach issues, and profound fatigue, but from the psychological...

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.

Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      I am so sorry you are going through this; it sounds incredibly overwhelming and disheartening to be dismissed by the very medical professionals you're turning to for help. It is completely understandable that you feel lost and exhausted, not just from the relentless physical symptoms like the leg pain, stomach issues, and profound fatigue, but from the psychological toll of being told it's "just IBS" or that you need a therapist when you know your body is signaling that something is wrong. While it's true that a normal tTG test can indicate that celiac disease itself is being managed from a dietary perspective, it is a major oversight for your doctors to ignore your other diagnoses like SIBO, a hernia, and Barrett's esophagus, all of which can contribute significantly to the symptoms you describe. You are absolutely right to be seeking a new Primary Care Physician who will listen to your full history, take your Barrett's diagnosis seriously, and help you coordinate a care plan that looks at the whole picture, because your experience is not just in your head—it's in your entire body, and you deserve a medical team that acknowledges that. I had hernia surgery (laparoscopic), and it's not a big deal, so hopefully you can have your new doctor give you some guidance on that.
