Ok im so excited! A whole Foods just opened up like 5 min from my house! I went in today and it was packed! But I was so happy with the gluten free selection, and its all labeled nicely and it tells you that its gluten free! There were so many cupcakes and cakes and cookies and crackers! thats stuff I haven't had in 9 months! Its pricey, not something ill get all the time but it will be a nice treat to have every once in a while! I was just standing there in AWW almost in tears from joy looking at all the stuff! just had to let everyone know....

It really is great!

At a local WF, they periodically have gluten free tastings, coupons, gluten-free vendors come in ....so keep an eye out for that to happen at yours!

Try the Whole Foods brand gluten-free Bakehouse - particularly their pizza crusts, their cornbread, and their new chocolate cupcakes.

They opened one to the city to the south of me, in Roseville, but they've deliberately scattered and spread out all the gluten free goods all over the store to increase the amount of time and effort one has to spend searching for the products. There is a gluten free aisle, but it only has a few items on it. Ditto the premade frozen gluten-free aisle. This makes it really difficult to compare labels, ingredients, and prices, too. And I really don't want to see the little bags of specialty type spelt flour or the regular bread flour or cornmeal mixes, or other bags of possibly gluten containing flours sitting on the shelf right next to the gluten free flours, it's a huge turnoff.

Really, really, big time wasting annoying, because this store is also in a high traffic area if you don't live in the immediate vicinity, so it's not a casual trip. My local groceries and health food stores, which have much more user friendly layouts, a bit cheaper pricing on a lot of the same items, and try harder, will continue to get the bulk of my shopping. There is another Whole Foods in Sacramento near Arden mall, and they, the last time I was there, had a much more organized gluten-free aisle.

It's fun to go there and just look, if you want to blow time.

You are too funny! :D I am lucky that I live in the state where WF started and I have access to quite a few so I know your joy. Just don't go overboard on their treats or you'll gain weight but it sure is nice to be able to just buy some cupcakes when you want them. I have to admit when I find a new gluten-free product that looks really good, I get as excited as a kid on Christmas morning!

I travel approximately 2 hours to get to my nearest Whole Foods. I do this about every 1-2 months. My local grocery store (about 20 minutes away) carries the basic MiDel cookies, 1-2 brands of cereal, bread mixes & pizza crusts.) I usually shop there between visits to Whole Foods.

Consider yourself lucky!!!!

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1. There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine. In Thiamine deficiency, the body...

      In the study linked above, the little girl switched to a gluten free diet and gained enough weight that that fat pad was replenished and surgery was not needed.   Here's the full article link...

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
