If you asked me yesterday, how long it would be before we see a gluten-free grocery store, I would have said, " 10, maybe 15 years".

I've definatly fantasised about it; not feeling panicky looking at gluteny stuff when you are out shopping, not wondering if you are breathing air-borne gluten, if there is a bakery/kitchen within the store you are at?

i am soooo thrilled, in todays Marin Independant Journal, they ran a story about a small gluten-free market opening in San Rafael (California) in september.

Not to rub it in if you don't live here, but isn't this just HUGE progress for all of us?!

Does anyone know of anything similar anywhere?

*Sigh* someday I hope to open up a gluten-free cookie shop and become the "gluten-free Mrs. Fields"...alas way too much capital for my broke a$$.

Whole Foods kills me when we go...all that good food and my son can't eat it :(

Smells hella good in there though. San Rafael is a bit far for me to go grocery shopping but hoepfully that is the start of a wonderful trend!

In Grand Rapids, Michigan - a gluten-free store just opened called Saffrons.......since they are Celiac and with food allergies too - they opened a gluten-free store and I've yet to visit.

I did hear they sell Udi's!

I don't spend the extra money on gluten-free foods because in the grocery store - I buy Classico pasta sauces and soups (Progresso) or make my own.

The gluten-free pasta I buy is only once in a while.....for spaghetti.....but I find that Bob's Red Mill site has a gluten-free dumpling and noodle recipe that I'm willing to try.....other than that - I do without the excess of bread products.......but would love to try the Udi's too........so I"m going to check out that store soon.

I found a recipe for a cream soup base that is versatile - cream of tomato, cream of mushroom, and cheesy broccoli are variations to the base mix so I'm living on the 'cheap' there!

I also started mixing up my own taco seasoning and chili seasonings too. Dollar store spices and I'm set for the year when I want nachos!

I guess I should start posting more recipes......to share the findings of avoiding the gluten-free pricing in the specialty stores.

      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
