On My Way To Gluten-Free Bakery

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.

Tara

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.

      Celiac friendly probiotics

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics. I have had Celiac for 40 years. Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything. I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference. After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made...

      Hi Katht - I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was...

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics.  I have had Celiac for 40 years.  Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything.  I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference.  After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made their own probiotics I started making Milk Kefir: not water Kefir. There are 10 probiotics in milk KEFIR. After 3 weeks I was able to eat more, no gas, no IBS.  If you have a computer just ask for videos on making milk Kefir. I branched out and make my own Kombucha for even more probiotics. I do not make my yogurt because there are only about four probiotics in that. I started this when I was 82 and I still make my own Kefir and Kombucha. My stomach issues were fixed with the Milk Kefir alone. If you decide to try making it, make certain you order MILK GRAINS. The finished product tastes a bit like Buttermilk. I hope this helps in your journey to good health.

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.
