Gulf Shores, Alabama

I just returned from Gulf Shores/Orange Beach, Alabama and wanted to mention grocery stores there.

A new Publix grocery has just been built in Orange Beach, in the shopping center at the intersection of Perdido Beach Blvd (Rte. 182) and Rte. 161 (Orange Beach Blvd). It doesn't have a natural food section; instead, items are on the same aisle as the other food. BUT each aisle has a special place for the "natural" organic/diet/etc. foods, so it's easy to find. And there is a LARGE variety to choose from. Prices were pretty high, but at least it is there.

The only other store I went into was the Piggly Wiggley, and they had a little bit of gluten-free food, intermingled.

Restaurants with definite gluten-free menus: Outback Steakhouse in Foley, and Longhorn Steakhouse in Gulf Shores.

Foley has lots and lots and lots of other restaurants, many of them chains, both inexpensive and higher-end.

Just to touch up on the Piggly Wiggly. I live in Foley and got a flier that advertised they had a Gluten Free section now. Next time I was shopping I hit the pig up. The section is rather small at the moment. I did however let the manager of the store know I was thankful of them setting up a gluten free section. He informed me that they were working on getting more products in. He also gave me his email to send him any product requests that I think up in the future.

Update: My wife stopped at the Bruno's Grocery store in Gulf Shores today and said they had a small section of Gluten Free items. She said they also had some of the items on sale.

I just found out that Lulu's has a gluten free menu that also includes other allergies if you request it. They are sooooo great!

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
