Just found out that husband has been transferred there. Daughter and I do not want to move there but I don't know if it will be feasible for us to stay here. We own our house here so that complicates things. Anyway...

If we do have to go there, does anyone know about shopping and restaurants? I tried looking online. It looks like there is a Whole Foods, but I didn't see any other health food type places except for supplement places like GNC. What about restaurants?

Thanks!

Julie, I see no one has given you an answer. I lived in Sonoma until six years ago, so I am out of date to say the least. But all in all, Sonoma County is a fairly alternative kind of place and you should be able to be accommodated quite nicely. Petaluma is where I first found Whole Foods, many years ago before they were all over the place. I have not tried eating gluten free there since I only discovered my intolerance a year ago, but I don't feel that you should be afraid of eating there any more than anywhere else in the country.

Thanks! I've never been to a Whole Foods, but I hear they are expensive. We lived in Alameda for a few years. We didn't have a Whole Foods there and they were just building the Trader Joe's as we left. I remember driving by Whole Foods but we were always on our way to some place and couldn't stop.

Yeah, they are expensive, but nice! Plenty of Trader Joes availability which is cheaper (not sure if there is one in Petaluma now, but they are in Napa and Santa Rosa.) When shopping in Carson City this summer I would go to Whole Foods every couple of weeks to get what I couldn't get at Trader Joes.

There is a TJ's in Petaluma but I don't buy much from them. We have other allergies and there is just too much cross contamination with their food.

      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.
