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.

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      By trents · Posted

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped". Your Serum IGA 01 (aka, "total IGA") at 245 mg/dl is within normal range, indicating you are not IGA deficient. But I also think it would be wise to take your doctor's advice about the sucraid diet and avoiding dairy . . . at least until you experience healing and your gut has had a chance to heal, which can take around two years. After that, you can experiment with adding dairy back in and monitor symptoms. By the way, if you want the protein afforded by dairy but need to avoid casein, you can do so with whey protein powder. Whey is the other major protein in dairy.

      hi, i want to say thank you to you and @trents   . after 2 phone calls to my GI, her office called me back to tell me that a blood test was “unnecessary” and that we should “follow the gold standard” and since my biopsy did not indicate celiac, to follow the no dairy and sucraid diet. i luckily have expendable income and made an appt for the labcorp blood test that day. i just got my results back and it indicates celiac disease i think 😭   im honestly happy bc now i KNOW and i can go gluten free. and i am SO MAD at this doctor for dismissing me for a simple blood test that wouldn’t have cost her anything !!!!!!!!!!! im sorry, im so emotional right now, i have been sick my whole life and never knew why, i feel so much better already   my results from labcorp:   Celiac Ab tTG TIgA w/Rflx Test Current Result and Flag Previous Result and Date Units Reference Interval t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 01 28 High U/mL 0-3 Negative 0 - 3 Weak Positive 4 - 10 Positive >10 Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten sensitive enteropathy. Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 01 245 mg/dL 87-352

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      By Samanthaeileen1 · Posted

      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong.   yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.

      Am I nuts?

      By GlorietaKaro · Posted

      One doctor suggested it, but then seemed irritated when I asked follow-up questions. Oh well—
