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!!!!

      Thank you so much for your help, @trents and @Staticgypsy! I so appreciate your thoughts. My diet is high in foods with oxalates and I don’t notice any issues there. If eliminating gluten from my diet had changed anything I’d be happy to just keep on the gluten-free diet, but with eating gluten several times with no rash, and having a rash when I was man...

      Welcome, @JudyLou, Your rash sounds very similar to the one I experienced.  Mine was due to a deficiency in Niacin B3, although I had deficiencies in other nutrients as well.  Celiac disease causes malabsorption of all the essential nutrients, but eating a poor diet, taking certain medications, or drinking alcohol can result in deficiency diseases outside of Celiac, too.  Symptoms can wax and wane depending on dietary intake.  I knew an alcoholic who had the "boots" of Pellagra, which would get worse when he was drinking more heavily, and improve when he was drinking less.   Niacin deficiency is called Pellagra.  Symptoms consist of dermatitis, diarrhea, dementia, and death (the four D's).  A scaly rash on the feet and hands and arms are called the "boots" and "gloves" of Pellagra.  Darkened skin around the neck exposed to the sun is Casal's necklace.  Poor farmers with niacin deficient diets were called "red necks" because of this.    Does your rash get worse if you're in the sun?  Mine did.  Any skin exposed to the sun got blistered and scaly.  Arms, legs, neck, head.  Do you have dry, ashy skin on your feet?  The itchiness was not only from the rash, but neuropathy.   My doctors were clueless.  They didn't put all my symptoms together into the three D's.  But I did.  I'd learned about Pellagra at university.  But there weren't supposed to be deficiency diseases anymore in the developed world.  Doubtful it could be that simple, I started supplementing with Niacin and other essential nutrients.  I got better.   One of Niacinamide functions is to help stop mast cells from releasing histamine.  Your allergist gave you doxepin, an antihistamine which stops mast cells from releasing histamine.   Since you do have a Celiac gene, staying on the gluten free diet can prevent Celiac disease from being triggered again.   Interesting Reading: These case studies have pictures... Pellgra revisited.  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4228662/ Steroid-Resistant Rash With Neuropsychiatric Deterioration and Weight Loss: A Modern-Day Case of Pellagra https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12532421/#:~:text=Figure 2.,(right panel) upper limbs.&text=The distribution of the rash,patient's substantial response to treatment.   Cutaneous signs of nutritional disorders https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8721081/#:~:text=Additional causes of yellow skin,the clinical features of Kwashiorkor.   Hello, @Staticgypsy, I would not recommend cutting so many nutritious foods out of ones diet.  Oxalates can cause problems like kidney stones, but our bodies can process oxalates out of our systems with certain vitamins like Vitamins A and D and Pyridoxine B 6.   People with Celiac disease are often low in fat soluble vitamins A and D, as well as the water soluble B vitamins like Pyridoxine B 6.  Focus on serving your granddaughter nutrient dense meals to ensure she gets essential vitamins and minerals that will help her grow. Micronutrient inadequacy and urinary stone disease: an analysis of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2007-2018 https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36976348/ Multivitamins co-intake can reduce the prevalence of kidney stones: a large-scale cross-sectional study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38564076/

I am and wish I wasn't. If there was a detector of gluten in the air it would make a world of difference.

If eliminating gluten from my diet had changed anything I’d be happy to just keep on the gluten-free diet, but with eating gluten several times with no rash, and having a rash when I was many years into gluten-free eating (and was much more careful at that point), I’m just baffled. Many, many thanks to you both.
