What is Grandma Ferdon's Foods? Is it a website, restaurant, or bakery? I've never heard of it before. Do they have a lot of gluten-free goodies?

God bless,

Hi! I just posted about this today.

I live near Grandma Ferdon's, and have been to see Julie several times. That place is just amazing. I've tried quite a few different items, and it is all SO good. Julie makes EVERYTHING from scratch, even the peanut butter that she uses to make peanut butter cookies. She only gets in raw, whole ingredients. No preservatives and I also believe that she uses organic non-hormone/antibiotic meats. Also, her kitchen is beautiful and spotless.

Order without hesitation.

I went to their website and it kinda ticked me off :angry: Their "shipping information" is a joke - I don't know where they are *or* how much it costs to ship stuff! You would think that they would at least list some decent contact information... geez! The picture of their food look lovely, but I don't want to sign up for something that will cost $400 to ship. Can someone tell me where these guys are?

Thanks

I also checked their website. They are in Hayward, Wisconsin.

I loaded my cart with a whopping $19.05 worth of foods I wanted to try, and was looking at $19.95 in shipping (under 25lbs), another $19.95 in shipping for each additional 25lbs! I had less than 25lbs in my cart, but still it was doubling my cost. I can't afford that. I realise that they are shipping frozen food, and it had better be packed with some freezer bags to keep it cold at that price!

Just one of the reasons that I don't buy frozen foods online. <_<

Those of you near their location who can pick it up at the store are so lucky! So much of the food looks so good...

God bless,

Mariann

Oh jeeze, that's too bad! I guess I never even thought about the shipping because I just pick it up. I do know that they ship the frozen stuff overnight, that must account for the higher cost. :unsure: I know that she is talking to some food store chains, maybe one of them will start to carry her stuff and then everyone can get it.

Here is the shipping info:

We have implemented a new shipping program. We will ship up to 25lbs to WI, MN, ND, SD, NE, KS, MO, IA, IL, IN, KY, OH & MI for only $12.95. We will ship to the rest of the contiguous United States for only $19.95 for up to 25 lbs. Your perishable products will be shipped in an insulated container and any of the rest will be packaged as normal. We honestly feel this gives everyone the opportunity to be able to enjoy Grandma Ferdon

I am from Wisconsin, and I order from Grandma Ferdon's all the time! They have excellent pizza, buttermilk bread, and donut holes! I also ordered some gluten-free soaps that are very nice. Some stores also carry Grandma Ferdon's items, too. The owners are very nice and great to deal with. :)

Where is Haywrd Wisconsin - I will be in Minnesota this weekend and if it is close, it would be worth the visit. I will be in the upper North part of Minnesota in a little town called Deer River.

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      For those who will likely remain gluten-free for life anyway due to well-known symptoms they have when eating gluten, my general advice is to ignore any doctors who push to go through a gluten challenge to get a formal diagnosis--and this is especially true for those who have severe symptoms when they eat gluten. It can take months, or even years to recover...

But keep in mind that the genetic test for celiac disease cannot be used as to diagnose celiac disease, only to establish the potential to develop active celiac disease. About 40% of the general population possess one or both of the primary genes known to be associated with the development of active celiac disease but only about 1% of the population actually develop active celiac disease. So, the gene test is an effective "rule out" tool but not an effective diagnostic tool.

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      For those who will likely remain gluten-free for life anyway due to well-known symptoms they have when eating gluten, my general advice is to ignore any doctors who push to go through a gluten challenge to get a formal diagnosis--and this is especially true for those who have severe symptoms when they eat gluten. It can take months, or even years to recover from such a challenge, so why do this if you already know that gluten is the culprit and you won't be eating it anyway?  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS--but those in this group will usually have negative tests, or at best, elevated antibodies that don't reach the level of official positive. Unfortunately test results for celiac disease are not always definitive, and many errors can be made when doing an endoscopy for celiac disease, and they can happen in many ways, for example not collecting the samples in the right areas, not collecting enough samples, or not interpreting the results properly and giving a Marsh score.  Many biopsy results can also be borderline, where there may be certain damage that could be associated with celiac disease, but it just doesn't quite reach the level necessary to make a formal diagnosis. The same is true for blood test results. Over the last 10 years or so a new "Weak Positive" range has been created by many labs for antibody results, which can simply lead to confusion (some doctors apparently believe that this means the patient can decide if they want more testing or to go gluten-free). There is no "Weak Negative" category, for example. Many patients are not told to eat gluten daily, lots of it, for the 6-8 week period leading up to their blood test, nor asked whether or not they've been eating gluten. Some patients even report to their doctors that they've been gluten-free for weeks or months before their blood tests, yet their doctors incorrectly say nothing to them about how this can affect their test, and create false negative results. Many people are not routinely given a total IGA blood test when doing a blood screening, which can lead to false negative interpretations if the patient has low IGA. We've seen on this forum many times that some doctors who are not fully up on how interpret the blood test results can tell patients that the don't need to follow a gluten-free diet or get more testing because only 1 of the 2 or 3 tests done in their panel is positive (wrong!), and the other 1 or 2 tests are negative.  Dermatologists often don't know how to do a proper skin biopsy for dermatitis herpetiformis, and when they do it wrongly their patient will continue to suffer with terrible DH itching, and all the risks associated with celiac disease. For many, the DH rash is the only presentation of celiac disease. These patients may end up on strong prescriptions for life to control their itching which also may have many negative side effects, for example Dapsone. Unfortunately many people will continue to suffer needlessly and eat gluten due to these errors in performing or interpreting celiac disease tests, but luckily some will find out about non-celiac gluten sensitivity on their own and go gluten-free and recover from their symptoms. Consider yourself lucky if you've figured out that gluten is the source of your health issues, and you've gone gluten-free, because many people will never figure this out.
