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.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
