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.

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.
