I have a question for you...

What type of gluten-free related business would you like to see start up in your neighborhood / hometown?

I would LOVE a coffee shop like Tim Hortons where I could get a coffee and gluten-free toast with Peanut butter! It would make breakfast 2000Xs easier!

I'll second the coffee shop - in fact, I have a dream of owning/running one that also does gluten-free baked goods. :) Someday............

I want to start a whole chain of restaurants, coffee shops and bakeries that is allergy friendly.

Gluten free, soy free, dairy free, casein free, egg free, raw, vegan, vegetarian.

Gluten and soy would be my first priority... because not being able to have soy makes life REALLY hard. I thought gluten was hard...

i would also enjoy eating somewhere that is allergy friendly. i was so excited when the pizza chain around here started carrying a gluten-free rice crust pizza, and they seemed knowledgable on CC issues. but, when i found out i couldn't eat dairy...had to cross that off my list. so, someplace that can deal w/ multiple intolerances would be great, i don't care what kind of food - i would eat it!

Neat question..... Pizza and Bakery for sure but also a totally gluten free grocery store. I would LOVE that, especially since my neighborhood does not have a health food store and I have to drive to the other side of town.

1 stop gluten free and allergy friendly hub. In my dream world:

Inexpensive restaraunt/cafe type eatery with a drive through window for coffee and hand held car foods. Then it would have the other half of the establishment as a gluten free, allergy friendly grocery/bookstore. This would all be on the corner of a major intersection instead of another gas station or CVS. Drive through in the morning, meet coworkers for lunch, and pick up ingredients for dinner on the way home. Maybe even takeout.

#1 wish in a restaraunt: Educated and consistent staff. CLEAN dishes

#2 ingredient listings: All ingredients used in preparing listed on the menu

#3 picture labeling: top 8 allergens color coded and gluten with a no sign through them for each item

#4 A la carte ordering

#5 Safe and yummy stuff for spouses/coworkers (A few items made with real milk, eggs, and nightshades, stuff that isn't likely to cause airborne reactions).

#6 Chocolate for all

Priced 15-20% over a regular restaraunt. I'm cheap, and I would stay home rather than pay too much extra.

Thanks for answering my question. All of your wishes are also on my wish list. I'm lucky to live in Milwaukee which does, in fact, have an all-gluten-free grocery store. I would LOVE to have a coffee shop. I think if I were to start my own business, I'd have to do something that had appeal to the non gluten-free world to be able to have a larger customer base. You know a butcher shop could be totally gluten-free and the rest of the world wouldn't even realize it. :) I think sometimes when something is labelled gluten-free (even though we love it and know it tastes good) those that are not gluten intolerant think the food will taste bad and won't even be willing to try it.

I'd like it if there was a gluten-free bulk foods place nearby. Someplace that had all the flours and other baking items, plus gluten-free grains, beans, etc, at reasonable prices. Maybe even a coop.

      Have Tru Joy Sweets Choco Chews been discontinued??

      But M&M's contain milk, and would not be at all like a Tootsie Roll.

      I appreciate you validating me because medical is an issue and it's not ok at all they they do this. Some days I just want to call the news media and just call out these doctors especially when they are supposed to be specialist Downplaying when gluten-free when they should know gluten-free is false negative. Now dealing with other issues and still crickets...

      M&M Peanuts. About the same calories and sugar while M&M Peanuts have fiber, potassium, iron and protein that Tootsie Rolls ("We are currently producing more than 50 million Tootsie Rolls each day.") don't. Click the links to compare nutritional values. Both are made with sugar, not high fructose corn syrup. I use them as a gluten free substitute...

      I see it everyday on my feeds. They go out and buy gluten-free processed products and wonder why they can't heal their guts. I don't think they take it as a serious immune disease. They pick up things off the internet which is so far out in left field. Some days I would just like to scream. So much better when we had support groups and being able to teach...

While I get heartburn at night from commercial dairy milk, I do not from 'grassmilk'.

I just had an EMA blood test because I haven't had one since my Doctor moved away.  Got test results today, doctor ordered a D3 vitamin test.  Now you know what  type of doctors we have.  Now I will have to pay for this test because she just tested my D3 end of December, and still have no idea about my EMA.
