It's Not Really A Place -- Yet..

Hey, hi, hello there. So, I haven't really posted on here but anyway, since I found out I have Celiac I've gotten this idea, to start a gluten free bakery. Now, this idea has progressed into it being like a little sit down cafe, that offers not only gluten free but other non-allergy food, and it won't just be bakery food, I was thinking of offering sit down meals and things too. I was just wondering if anyone else has done this, or has run a shop before. Any advice at all (or ideas) would be awesome.

Sorry if I posted in the wrong place but, this seemed like the place to go. ;)

Thanks!

Take a look at this one. I haven't eaten there but noted it for when we go to Utah at Spring Break.

There was a place here that did that. The owner was really pretty weird and had a habit of lying. She sold us something that made my daughter very ill. Only later when I went back did I discover that it contained eggs. She told me it did not. Daughter was allergic to eggs at the time. They also made mistakes all the time. Like putting eggs on the chicken strips after advertising them on the menu that there were no eggs. And they made mistakes on what people ordered. So it was very frustrating. She also promised me a cake for daughter's birthday. Then when I went back to order it, told me she couldn't make it.

That place is closed. She has gone elsewhere and is doing a bakery now. I think maybe they do lunch. I haven't gone there. I've seen reviews online and she is just as wacky as ever.

I started baking as a business from my home in Sept of last year. Right now, it's growing faster than I imagined. Yesterday, for the first time, I thought about having a store front. But for me, that's a ways away.

Definitely look into it. You know how much gross gluten-free food is out there... :lol:

I am also kicking around the idea of starting a small gluten free bake shop. Any input would be great. Does anyone know if a bakery can be both regular & gluten free or is there just too much chance of cross-contamination? Also, what kind of items would you like to see in a gluten free bakery? Any naming suggestions would also be appreciated. Thanks!

I don't think it'd be a good idea to have both, I mean you wouldn't want any wheat flour finding it's way into something gluten free but that's my opinion.

Thanks for the input everyone. I've been sorta busy. I was thinking of selling some baked goods from home/online. I've also been posting a few step by step things on my blog if anyone is interested. Open Original Shared Link

Oh, wow. That's terrible. I don't think I could do that to people being a sick kid myself I know how worried my mother would get when I was younger when I'd get sick, I could never do that to another person or their child.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking as well but I just was wondering what others thought were on that matter. I have been searching the web and what I have found is there are some regular bakeries that offer a few gluten free items or give the option for a special gluten free item but not the other way around(gluten free bakery offering a few regular items).

I would really like some input on items that are, say, the top ten items they would like to see in a gluten free bakery. :)

The thing I would most want to see in a gluten free bakery is absolutely no items containing gluten.

The risk of cross contamination is too high.

If it's a good enough bakery you will get regular customers anyway. There is a bakery in Cameron Park, CA, Azna, which has a sign on their front facade that just says "Bakery," even though they advertise as gluten free, and the menu board in front says vegan and gluten free. We have eaten a treat there lots of times, and I've seen people come in, look at the display case with all the different muffins, etc, and be surprised that everything was also gluten free, but this is a place that you can drag a glutenoid along to and they will like it. My spouse still eats gluten sometimes, and he can compare things more readily than somebody off of it for a long time like me, and he likes it a lot.

      You might consider asking for a referral to a RD (Registered Dietician) to help with food choices and planning a diet. Even apart from any gluten issues, you will likely find there are some foods you need to avoid because of the shorter bowel but you may also find that your system may make adjustments over time and that symptoms may improve.

      Losing 12" of your small bowel is going to present challenges for you in nutritional uptake because you are losing a significant amount of nutritional absorption surface area. You will need to focus on consuming foods that are nutritionally dense and also probably look at some good supplements. If indeed you are having issues with gluten you will need to educate yourself as to how gluten is hidden in the food supply. There's more to it than just avoiding the major sources of gluten like bread and pasta. It is hidden in so many things you would never expect to find it in like canned tomato soup and soy sauce just to name a few. It can be in pills and medications.  Also, your "yellow diarrhea, constipation and bloating" though these are classic signs of a gluten disorder, could also be related to the post surgical shorter length of your small bowel causing incomplete processing/digestion of food.

      There are two gluten-related disorders that share many of the same symptoms but differ in nature from each other. One is known as celiac disease or "gluten intolerance". By nature, it is an autoimmune disorder, meaning the ingestion of gluten triggers the body to attack it's own tissues, specifically the lining of the small bowel. This attack causes inflammation and produces antibodies that can be detected in the blood by specific tests like the TTG-IGA test you had. Over time, if gluten is not withheld, this inflammation can cause severe damage to the lining of the small bowel and even result in nutrient deficiency related health issues since the small bowel lining is organ where all the nutrition found in our food is absorbed.  The other is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just "gluten sensitivity") which we know less about and are unsure of the exact mechanism of action. It is not an autoimmune disorder and unlike celiac disease it does not damage the lining of the small bowel, though, like celiac disease, it can cause GI distress and it can also do other kinds of damage to the body. It is thought to be more common than celiac disease. Currently, we cannot test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out to arrive at a diagnosis of NCGS. Both disorders require elimination of gluten from the diet.  Either of these disorders can find their onset at any stage of life. We know that celiac disease has a genetic component but the genes are inactive until awakened by some stress event. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% develop active celiac disease. The incidence of NCGS is thought to be considerably higher. I hope this helps.
