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.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      That’s really frustrating, I’m sorry you went through that. High fiber can definitely cause sudden stomach issues, especially if your body isn’t used to it yet, but accidental gluten exposure can feel similar. Keeping a simple food/symptom journal and introducing new foods one at a time can really help you spot patterns. You’re already doing the right things ...

      Anti-endomysial Antibody (EMA) Testing

      I thought this might be of interest regarding anti-EMA testing. Some labs use donated umbilical cord instead of monkey oesophagus. Some labs just provide a +ve/-ve test result but others provide a grade by testing progressively diluted blood sample. https://www.aesku.com/index.php/ifu-download/1367-ema-instruction-manual-en-1/file Fluorescence-labelled...

      Just diagnosed today

      First, please know that receiving two diagnoses at once, especially one you've never heard of, is undoubtedly overwhelming. You are not alone in this. Your understanding is correct: both celiac disease and Mesenteric Panniculitis (MP) are considered to have autoimmune components. While having both is not extremely common, they can co-occur, as chronic inflammation...

In the meantime, I will carry on has I have been— it’s working! Thanks also for the validation— sometimes I just feel crushed by disbelief. Not enough to make me eat gluten though—

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @GlorietaKaro! As Scott indicated, without formal testing for celiac disease, which would require you to have been consuming generous amounts of gluten daily for weeks, it would be not be possible to distinguish whether you have celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). Their symptoms overlap. The difference being that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the lining of the small bowel. We actually no more about celiac disease than we do about NCGS, the mechanism of the latter being more difficult to classify. There are specific antibody tests for celiac disease diagnosis and there is also the endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining. Currently, there are no tests to diagnose NCGS. Celiac disease must first ruled out. Researchers are working on developing testing methods to diagnose celiac disease that do not require a "gluten challenge" which is just out of the question for so many because it poses serious, even life-threatening, health risks. But we aren't there yet.

Keeping a simple food/symptom journal and introducing new foods one at a time can really help you spot patterns. You’re already doing the right things with cleaning and separating baking—also watch shared toasters, cutting boards, and labels like “may contain.”

The binding site is extracellular tTG2 bound to fibronectin and collagen. Human or monkey derived endomysium is necessary because tTG2 from other mammals does not provide the right binding epitope. https://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/26/3/1012

      First, please know that receiving two diagnoses at once, especially one you've never heard of, is undoubtedly overwhelming. You are not alone in this. Your understanding is correct: both celiac disease and Mesenteric Panniculitis (MP) are considered to have autoimmune components. While having both is not extremely common, they can co-occur, as chronic inflammation from one autoimmune condition can sometimes be linked to or trigger other inflammatory responses in the body. MP, which involves inflammation of the fat tissue in the mesentery (the membrane that holds your intestines in place), is often discovered incidentally on scans, exactly as in your case. The fact that your medical team is already planning follow-up with a DEXA scan (to check bone density, common after a celiac diagnosis) and a repeat CT is a very proactive and prudent approach to monitoring your health. Many find that adhering strictly to the gluten-free diet for celiac disease helps manage overall inflammation, which may positively impact MP over time. It's completely normal to feel uncertain right now. Your next steps are to take this one day at a time, focus on the gluten-free diet as your primary treatment for celiac, and use your upcoming appointments to ask all your questions about MP and what the monitoring plan entails. This dual diagnosis is a lot to process, but it is also the starting point for a managed path forward to better health. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
