Pittsburgh's Gluuteny

We traveled from Wheeling, WV to go to Gluuteny in Shadyside area of Pittsburgh. I thought on their website that the prices seemed steep. Well... $85 later...hey, I'm a cook not a baker.

We went home and opened up our bags. The $1.59 cookie? It was huge! I cut it into 4 pieces, so the hubby and kids could take in their lunches.

And the brownies? None of the mixes from the stores even come close. Yummy. And they were huge, too.

The pumpkin pie was a little pricy at $14.99, but its for Thanksgiving so I hope it's good.

The cupcakes were pretty good--a little pricey at $2.49--but hey I didn't have to make it did I?

My husband thought the iced sugar cookies were better than regular sugar cookies.

The bread is just all right--what I make from the Gluten Free pantry mix might be just a tad better IMHO.

My husband's birthday is in about 1 month and I can't wait to buy a cake for his birthday from this place!

I hear they're looking to franchise... B)

An acquaintance of mine who also has celiac has a sister in that area. She's trying desparately to get me to open a franchise in our area. I am also not a baker, but it would be great if they start appearing elsewhere in the country.

I saw they were looking to franchise, too. Was wondering how difficult it would be to run a bakery if one does not bake? :rolleyes:

Husband thinks we could make a go of it....might be worth investigating...

Hi,

I see you are from Wheeling, WV my family and I live in St. Clairsville, Ohio. I have a lot of recipes, (that are EASY) for cakes, cookies, etc. Where do you buy your gluten free products from ? Do you go to whole foods in Pittsburgh ?

Take Care

There is also a new natural-foods market that just opened up in the Strip District. They are trying to compete with Whole Paycheck I mean Whole Foods, and they are amazing--much BIGGER than whole foods, AND less $$. Their produce could use some expanding, but it's SO nice not to have to fight traffic to Whole Foods and Trader Joe's.

They said that they are working with someone to supply them with fresh gluten-free baked goods so that they can have an on-site gluten-free bakery. I wonder if they're working with Gluuteny? I had the impression that the baked goods would not be baked on-site, but delivered fresh (not frozen!) daily, kind of like what Breadworks does.

They're located at 23rd and Smallman, in the Cork Factory building, if anyone is interested.

      Wheatwacked, are you speaking of the use of potassium bromide and and azodicarbonamide as dough modifiers being controlling factor for what? Do you refer to celiac reactions to gluten or thyroid disease, kidney disease, GI cancers?

      In Europe they have banned several dough modifiers potassium bromide and and azodicarbonamide. Both linked to cancers. Studies have linked potassium bromide to kidney, thyroid, and gastrointestinal cancers. A ban on it in goes into effect in California in 2027. I suspect this, more than a specific strain of wheat to be controlling factor. Sourdough...

      trents:  Why some can tolerate european bread but not american bread.     I take 600 mcg a day.  Right in the middle of the safe range.   Groups at Risk of Iodine Inadequacy Though though the NIH does not specifically list Celiac Disease in this group, they state: "Iodide is quickly and almost completely absorbed in the stomach and duodenum. Iodate is reduced in the gastrointestinal tract and absorbed as iodide [2,5]."  That would certainly include malabsorption of Iodine due to Celiac Disease with resultant Iodine Deficiency. Vegans and people who eat few or no dairy products, seafood, and eggs People who do not use iodized salt Pregnant women People with marginal iodine status who eat foods containing goitrogens Deficiencies of iron and/or vitamin A may also be goitrogenic [51] https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Iodine-HealthProfessiona   1

      Excess iodine supplements can cause significant health issues, primarily disrupting thyroid function. My daughter has issues with even small amounts of dietary iodine. While iodine is essential for thyroid hormone production, consistently consuming amounts far above the tolerable upper limit (1,100 mcg/day for adults) from high-dose supplements can trigger both hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism, worsen autoimmune thyroid diseases like Hashimoto's, and lead to goiter. Other side effects include gastrointestinal distress. The risk is highest for individuals with pre-existing thyroid conditions, and while dietary iodine rarely reaches toxic levels, unsupervised high-dose supplementation is dangerous and should only be undertaken with medical guidance to avoid serious complications. It's best to check with your doctor before supplementing iodine.

      In Europe they have banned several dough modifiers potassium bromide and and azodicarbonamide.  Both linked to cancers.  Studies have linked potassium bromide to kidney, thyroid, and gastrointestinal cancers.  A ban on it in goes into effect in California in 2027. I suspect this, more than a specific strain of wheat to be controlling factor.  Sourdough natural fermentation conditions the dough without chemicals. Iodine was used in the US as a dough modifier until the 1970s. Since then iodine intake in the US dropped 50%.  Iodine is essential for thyroid hormones.  Thyroid hormone use for hypothyroidism has doubled in the United States from 1997 to 2016.   Clinical Thyroidology® for the Public In the UK, incidently, prescriptions for the thyroid hormone levothyroxine have increased by more than 12 million in a decade.  The Royal Pharmaceutical Society's official journal Standard thyroid tests will not show insufficient iodine intake.  Iodine 24 Hour Urine Test measures iodine excretion over a full day to evaluate iodine status and thyroid health. 75 year old male.  I tried adding seaweed into my diet and did get improvement in healing, muscle tone, skin; but in was not enough and I could not sustain it in my diet at the level intake I needed.  So I supplement 600 mcg Liquid Iodine (RDA 150 to 1000 mcg) per day.  It has turbocharged my recovery from 63 years of undiagnosed celiac disease.  Improvement in healing a non-healing sebaceous cyst. brain fog, vision, hair, skin, nails. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis celiac disease experience exacerbation of the rash with iodine. The Wolff-Chaikoff Effect Crying Wolf?
