On My Way To Gluten-Free Bakery


TPT

Recommended Posts

Again~ Still waiting on my diagnosis, but I am starting to prepare myself, and learn about my diet options.

Someone just told me a few weeks ago about a bakery that opened a few months ago that is gluten-free. It gets rave reviews and is about 3 miles from my house. I'm not even sure what I'm going to get, but I want to take a look. Yesterday, there happened to be a big article in the paper about it.

Any suggestions on some staples I should try? I'm at least going to buy a loaf of bread. I also hear she makes great ravioli.

You know I wish everyone had a city or even a state on their profile. Sometimes I read about a gluten-free place/item and then spend time researching only to find it is in a state 5 states away :( I am north of Dallas....

When I first got on this forum, the box with your picture, dates, post # , etc used to say where you were from ( if you wanted). Hopefully, T will come back and post.

Hi everyone! Sorry! I live in Central NJ. I guess I'm allowed to post the name??? It's in Ford's NJ and it's called "Fallon's Gluten Free Bakery." If you Goolge it, there was an article in thnt.com yesterday. It took me probably about 8 minutes to get there. I just got a loaf of bread which was $7. Seemed a bit expensive, but I think you can pay that much for "regular" bakery bread. I tasted just the end piece and it was really good! Though I'm new to trying out gluten-free, so I don't have much to compare. I would totally eat it, gluten issues or not.

She also gave me a sample of crumb cake, which was yummy. Next time I go back, I want to try ravilois.

I also must admitt since I'm not gluten-free yet, I also stopped at McD's for a cheeseburger. :huh: I'm livin' it up until I get tested. :P (Luckily, I don't get violently ill like some of you.)

Fallon also has a website if you happen to live in the area.

P.S. Promise to get working on my profile.

If you live in Kansas City area, I think I could help! Have some connections you will need. However, we have 3 commercial gluten-free bakers here. No walk up bakery. They sell to restaurants and grocery stores.

I'm in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Wish I was closer. I think it could work here...I just need to find a business person to advise me.

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
