On Line Shopping

Which on line shopping sites do you recommend for your gluten-free needs? I've found I have to shop at three sites in order to get all my son's favorite items. The on line shopping I do is to suppliment the THREE stores I have to actually go into on foot. It can really get to a person after awhile. Each store I visit whether on line or outdoors, has something essential to my son's pantry. Is this how every Celiac goes about stocking their shelves? Does anyone know of a fabulous on line site for gluten-free products? One stop shopping.....ahhh that will be a magical day.

Good question!! I have one to add: Where do you get the best value on gluten-free products? (Read: where is stuff the cheapest??) I'm thinking of ordering some "staples" and would like some input on where to shop.

Thanks :)

I buy all my bread (I get the egg bread, terrific), baked goodies (the cinnamon rolls and donuts are to die for) and steak pasties from www.grandmaferdons.com. If you live outside the midwest the shipping terms are less favorable, but if you decide to order the food is excellent. Everything is totally made from scratch and there is zero chance of contamination. I buy very little pre-made food apart from this stuff.

I finally got it down to mostly one retail grocery (Kroger). Many of their store brand items are gluten-free and they have great dieticians available by phone. If I have to go to another one for something specific, I try to purchase a lot at a time. I go to Sam's club once a month for meats, cheeses, etc. since I cannot afford them at Kroger.

I use only a handful of mail order places since I cook almost entirely from scratch. I try to order larger amounts to save on time and s/h. If I need to order something from a specific vendor in order to get the appropriate amount, I try to order as many other items from that vendor at the same time as possible. Even if it costs me a dollar or two more, I still save on the s/h over time.

My primary sites are:

Authentic Foods

Bob's Red Mill

Breadbeckers

Gluten free mall

I have used the Gluten Free Trading Company. They have a lot of products and carry a lot of different brands. They are based in WI. I thought their shipping costs were very reasonable, they only charge what it actually costs them to ship your order. I placed 2 orders of about $80 each, one going to OH, one to NC. The shipping was $7-8. I thought their overall pricing was comparable to other online sources.

Does anyone know of a good online company that's from the West Coast? I'm guessing the shipping costs wouldn't be so obscene if they were closer to me! (I'm in Utah!)

Thanks :)

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this. My own told me that by using Gaviscon a barrier forms over the contents of the stomach and stops gas and acid irritating the throat. In fact, he said to me that because I found relief using Gaviscon that was a very clear indicator that reflux was the cause of that particular issue. A wedge...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired. I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years, I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways. I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux. Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.
