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 I lived in Sonoma until six years ago, so I am out of date to say the least.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

      By lmemsm · Posted

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.
