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.

      Gluten-Free Diet Linked to Reduced Inflammation and Improved Outcomes in Multiple Sclerosis (+Video)

      I worried at one point on my journey whether I had MS, having many of the symptoms myself. However, my symptoms improved dramatically with high dose thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and Thiamine TTFD. Thiamine deficiency symptoms overlap with MS symptoms, including changes on brain MRIs. Thiamine deficiency affected my eyes (light sensitivity),...

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias!

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that y...

Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
