Just wondering if there are any celiac disease friendly restaurants and grocery stores in and around the Denver area. My husband and I are considering moving there and will be visiting for a long wknd soon, then will decide about a permanent move. I live in the Chicago 'burbs now and the selection of restaurants and grocery stores that stock food I can eat is really great. Hoping for the same out west. Thanks in advance!

I lived in Boulder, Colorado - and let me tell you, there are more health food stores than regular grocery stores there! :D It was terrific and spoiled me for life. The Vitamin Cottage has a fabulous selection of gluten free products, and is located all over Colorado. Then of course there's also the Wild Oats chain, and Whole Foods- even the selection in regular grocery stores has many other parts of America beat.

I am not very useful when it comes to Denver proper, but there is this gluten free bakery in Colorado Springs. I never had the chance to visit, but I'd like to try it someday. Too bad I'm in California now!

Just wanted to add to the other posting from Boulder that there is a wonderful cafe and bakery in Denver called Deby's. It is a little hard to find, but worth the effort. She has fabulous cinnamon rolls. Open Original Shared Link

Whole Foods also has a terrific line of bakery items in their freezer section. There are several restaurant chains now that have gluten-free menus - Outback Steakhouse and PF Chang (recommend the lemon scallops!).

Already said, but Vitamin Cottage has an awesome selection! Better than Whole Foods and Wild Oats combined! I don't eat out, so I can't help you on that end. I used to live in the Chicagoland area and actually have an easier time out here now finding food. Good luck!

I do not know how Denver would compare to Chicago. I have heard great things about the Chicago area. However, we do have Vitamin Cottage, Wild Oats and Whole Foods. I do not live in Denver (live an hour north) but have gone to Deby's. I felt like I was going to mecca! It was great eating there. Hope you have a great trip!

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      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!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      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
