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 I lived in Sonoma until six years ago, so I am out of date to say the least.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.

      TTG IgA and IGA elevated mildy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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 (you may want to avoid oats):

      TTG IgA and IGA elevated mildy

      By thejayland10 · Posted

      Hello,  I have seen numerous doctors and they can't seem to pin point why my ttg iga is still mildly elevated at 16-20 even after being gluten free for over 10 years. I follow a very strict diet and don't eat out. All my other blood tests such as ema, DGP IGA / IGG, vitamin levels, CBC, and dexa scan were normal.

      Some inflammation in ileum with celiac?

      By mermaidluver22 · Posted

      @Scott Adams Thank you so much for this thoughtful and encouraging reply 💛 It really helps me feel less alone navigating all of this! I’ve definitely been strict gluten-free, but I’ll admit — in the beginning, I honestly knew nothing about cross-contamination 😅 so it’s very possible my gut is still healing from that. I feel very abnormal because I am not a typical celiac or a typical Crohn's, so it makes me feel very stuck.

      Help needed

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Hi still the same unfortunately, they had to cancel my colonoscopy due to my trapped nerve , I'm awaiting some kind of scan , it was the nurses who  told me to refuse and asked a docter , and I was told to cancel and go back to my consultant , I think because my sciatic nerve is compressed between my herniated discs , the prep was enough I could handle , but the colonoscopy itself , they advised me to seek something different ,due to the position I had to be in and the movements , so I will update Wen I know more , thankyou for asking appreciated 🤗
