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.

      Newly diagnosed mam to coeliac 11 year old

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celic.com community @Dizzyma! I'm assuming you are in the U.K. since you speak of your daughter's celiac disease blood tests as "her bloods".  Has her physician officially diagnosed her has having celiac disease on the results of her blood tests alone? Normally, if the ttg-iga blood test results are positive, a follow-up endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining to check for damage would be ordered to confirm the results of "the bloods". However if the ttg-iga test score is 10x normal or greater, some physicians, particularly in the U.K., will dispense with the endoscopy/biopsy. If there is to be an endoscopy/biopsy, your daughter should not yet begin the gluten free diet as doing so would allow healing of the small bowel lining to commence which may result in a biopsy finding having results that conflict with the blood work. Do you know if an endoscopy/biopsy is planned? Celiac disease can have onset at any stage of life, from infancy to old age. It has a genetic base but the genes remain dormant until and unless triggered by some stress event. The stress event can be many things but it is often a viral infection. About 40% of the general population have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. So, for most, the genes remain dormant.  Celiac disease is by nature an autoimmune disorder. That is to say, gluten ingestion triggers an immune response that causes the body to attack its own tissues. In this case, the attack happens in he lining of the small bowel, at least classically, though we now know there are other body systems that can sometimes be affected. So, for a person with celiac disease, when they ingest gluten, the body sends attacking cells to battle the gluten which causes inflammation as the gluten is being absorbed into the cells that make up the lining of the small bowel. This causes damage to the cells and over time, wears them down. This lining is composed of billions of tiny finger-like projections and which creates a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients from the food we eat. This area of the intestinal track is where all of our nutrition is absorbed. As these finger-like projections get worn down by the constant inflammation from continued gluten consumption before diagnosis (or after diagnosis in the case of those who are noncompliant) the efficiency of nutrient absorption from what we eat can be drastically reduced. This is why iron deficiency anemia and other nutrient deficiency related medical problems are so common in the celiac population. So, to answer your question about the wisdom of allowing your daughter to consume gluten on a limited basis to retain some tolerance to it, that would not be a sound approach because it would prevent healing of the lining of her small bowel. It would keep the fires of inflammation smoldering. The only wise course is strict adherence to a gluten free diet, once all tests to confirm celiac disease are complete.

      Hi all, I have so many questions and feel like google is giving me very different information. Hoping I may get some more definite answers here. ok, my daughter has been diagnosed as a coeliac as her bloods show anti TTG antibodies are over 128. We have started her  on a full gluten free diet. my concerns are that she wasn’t actually physically sick on her regular diet, she had tummy issues and skin sores. My fear is that she will build up a complete intolerance to gluten and become physically sick if she has gluten. Is there anything to be said for keeping a small bit of gluten in the diet to stop her from developing a total intolerance?  also, she would be an anxious type of person, is it possible that stress is the reason she has become coeliac? I read that diagnosis later in childhood could be following a sickness or stress. How can she have been fine for the first 10 years and then become coeliac? sorry, I’m just very confused and really want to do right by her. I know a coeliac and she has a terrible time after she gets gluttened so just want to make sure going down a total gluten free road is the right choice. thank you for any help or advise xx

      Severe severe mouth pain

      By Russ H · Posted

      Hi Charlie, You sound like you have been having a rough time of it. Coeliac disease can cause a multitude of skin, mouth and throat problems. Mouth ulcers and enamel defects are well known but other oral conditions are also more common in people with coeliac disease: burning tongue, inflamed and swollen tongue, difficulty swallowing, redness and crusting in the mouth corners, and dry mouth to name but some. The link below is for paediatric dentistry but it applies to adults too.  Have you had follow up for you coeliac disease to check that your anti-tTG2 antibodies levels have come down? Are you certain that you not being exposed to significant amounts of gluten? Are you taking a PPI for your Barrett's oesophagus? Signs of changes to the tongue can be caused by nutritional deficiencies, particularly iron, B12 and B9 (folate) deficiency. I would make sure to take a good quality multivitamin every day and make sure to take it with vitamin C containing food - orange juice, broccoli, cabbage etc.  Sebaceous hyperplasia is common in older men and I can't find a link to coeliac disease.   Russ.   Oral Manifestations in Pediatric Patients with Coeliac Disease – A Review Article
