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.

      Hi @KathyR37 and a very warm welcome here. I am so very sorry that you are going through all of this. I just wanted to check, have you ever been tested for any other gastrointestinal conditions? Cristiana

      @KathyR37, I would suspect that in addition to gluten intolerance, you have other food intolerances/sensitivities. This is very common in the celiac community. The most common offenders are oats, dairy, soy, corn and eggs with dairy and oats being the big two. Have you considered this? Have you tried keeping a food diary to detect patterns?

      thank you for your advice. I have always taken them and I use Stonehedge because they are in a glass bottle, but don't have to be refrigerated. I also like they are 3rd party tested and state gluten free. But you never know if something better has come alone over the years.

      Thank you for your response. I have already learned about the info you sent but i appreciate your effort. I am the only one in my family cursed by this disease. I have to cook for them too. I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem...

      Thank you for your response. I have already learned about the info you sent but i appreciate your effort. I am the only one in my family cursed by this disease. I have to cook for them too. I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and  gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem I have is a gag reflex out of this world and if something doesn't taste good it is not going down. Most commercially made breads and such taste like old cardboard.Pastas are about the same. I did find one flour that I like and use it regularly, but it is so expensive! All gluten free food is way more expensive. I only eat twice a day because I cannot afford to buy all that. We live on a very low income so my food purchases are quite limited.

      What you've described—the severe weight loss, the cycle of medications making things worse, and the profound fear of eating before leaving the house—is a heavy burden to carry for 15 years. It is absolutely not your fault. While everyone's journey with celiac is different, the struggles with the learning curve, social isolation, and dietary grief are feelings many in the community know all too well. Your question about whether you should just eat what you want and manage the symptoms is a heartbreaking one, born from years of frustration. It's crucial to know that the diarrhea is a sign of ongoing damage to your small intestine from gluten, and simply managing the symptom with Imodium doesn't stop that internal harm or the risk of other complications. The fact that you are still getting sick within an hour of eating, even while trying to be gluten-free, is a huge red flag that something isn't right. This could be due to cross-contamination in your kitchen (e.g., using a shared toaster, colander, or condiment jars), hidden gluten in foods, or the possibility of another concurrent condition like refractory celiac disease. Don't give up!  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
