My grocery bill is getting pretty scary! I have found some things online, but it seems Amazon has one thing cheaper, then someone else has something else. I love Amazon because I can get free shipping...that's better than paying for gas!

So what items have you chosen to purchase online because it was cheaper and where did you order from? Also, if you had poor service, mention that too.

thanks!

I order a lot of things from this site here. Also Miss Robens, Ener-G, Allergy Free Foods and a few other places. Rarely use Amazon and never for food.

I use amazon for most of my specialty gluten free items. I buy the things I like in bulk and take advantage of the free shipping. The following items are things I regularly order from Amazon.

Pamela's products

Mary's gone crackers

ener-G pretzels

Bakery on Main granola

Sylvan Border Farms all purpose flour

Tinkyada pastas

I like Food Tek items, although they are not offered with the free shipping. I like the products well enough, that I order them from Amazon anyway.

I live in a very rural area and cannot find a lot of gluten free products. I try new things when I travel and then try to buy them on line. I have also ordered items from this site, esp. the Gillian products and numerous others. Extend Bars has some good energy bars.

I order the Pamela's bread mix and the Pamela's pancake/baking mix through Amazon. Many of Amazon's food items (including the two that I get) are eligible for their "Subscribe & Save" program. It's like placing a standing order and gets you and additional 15% off and free shipping (even if you don't reach that magical $25 number). You are allowed to pick your shipping interval (1, 2, 3, or 6 months). They email you to tell you that it's time and if you don't need it yet, you can delay it. If you don't do anything, it will ship automatically. You can also ship ahead of time if you find that you are using it quicker than you thought. You can cancel it after the first order. There is no committment.

      How long have you been strictly gluten free? Certainly, it would be good to look into vitamin and mineral deficiencies and supplementation. The B vitamins, magnesium and D3 are all very important to neurological health. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to reverse gluten-induced neurological damage damage if it has gone on for a long time.

      Thanks Trents I'm strict with my gluten-free diet now. I just don't feel any better. I'm going to get tested for vitamins and minerals to see if I need some supplements. For sure I got some damage that doctors call Menier's and the only way they treat it is with medicine that does damage my body more than it helps.

      Thank you Scott for your helpful response! Based on this, would you say someone who is on a gluten-free diet - but not strict about cross-contamination and occasional cheating - and tests negative for tTg-IgA while having normal total IgA is not likely to have celiac, even if they have been 'gluten-free' for years?

      That’s a really insightful observation about antibody testing and the gluten challenge! You’re absolutely right that antibody levels can remain elevated for months or even years after going gluten-free, especially if there’s ongoing cross-contamination or occasional slip-ups. The immune system doesn’t reset overnight—it can take time for antibodies like tTG-IgA to normalize, which is why many doctors recommend waiting at least 6–12 months of strict gluten-free eating before retesting. For someone who’s been gluten-free for less than two years or hasn’t been meticulous about avoiding cross-contact, there’s absolutely a chance they’d still test positive, since even small amounts of gluten can keep antibodies elevated. This is partly why the gluten challenge (where you eat gluten before testing) exists—it’s designed to provoke a measurable immune response in people who’ve been gluten-free long enough for antibodies to drop. But you raise a great point: the challenge isn’t perfect, and false negatives can happen if the timing or amount of gluten isn’t sufficient to trigger a strong antibody response. This is why diagnosis often combines antibody tests with other tools like genetic testing or endoscopy. Your question highlights just how nuanced celiac testing can be! For people with celiac disease hidden gluten in their diets is the main cause of elevated Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibodies (tTG-IgA), but there are other conditions, including cow's milk/casein intolerance, that can also cause this, and here is an article about the other possible causes:

      Thank you for your response! I have considered starting a food diary in the past, I suppose this is as good a time as any to start.
