I'm visiting my parents in Pittsburgh. I took my mom to the doctor the other day and was just chatting with the doctor how it was my mom's birthday and I was making a gluten free cake so I could eat it too. He said "oh, then you probably know about the bakery in Squirrel Hill?" I said "um, what bakery?" The new gluten free bakery!

Woot! I went in yesterday and just inhaled! lol... with no worries about inhaling flour dust. I bought some pumpkin tarts, and a brownie, and a lemon loaf, and a big chocolate chip cookie! :lol:B)

Now, I'm from Northern Virginia where you'd think there would be something like this. However, I haven't turned up an entire gluten free bakery, only bakeries that offer several gluten-free selections. And I'm not sure I'd trust those... I guess it would depend on where and how they were made, since there would likely be a lot of flour flying around a bakery.

Anyway .... Pittsburgh folks, head for Squirrel Hill to Gluteney, right next to the Giant Eagle on Murray Avenue. :wub:

Glutenny has been around for awhile now. Glad you enjoyed the goodies. There is also gluten-free bakeries in McMurray Pa south of Pittsburgh at the Sunnybridge health store, lots of gluten-free to purchase as well as the bakery.

In Mt Pleasant a gluten-free bakery too. & others are scattered throughout Allegheny, county.

If you get back to Pittsburgh take a road trip to Ferrara's little italy in Sharon, pa... Wonderful ! Worth the trip.

Another great gluten-free place to shop is Soergel's in Wexford, Pa....north of Pgh.

How exciting! Congratulations :) I'm extremely lucky with where I live; I know of two gluten-free bakeries right around my area. From my experience to one though, I can't be trusted! I bought a whole box of goodies (including a cinnamon bun, yum!) and I ate the whole thing within 24 hours...In fact, I'm not even sure it took that long lol Were your purchases yummy?

VERY yummy! :) Especially the pumpkin tart thing -- it was in pie crust and looked like it had been made in a muffin tin -- so they were like individual pumpkin pies. The crust was very good! -- Yeah, I pretty much ate it all in a short time. Hmm... come to think of it, maybe it's a good thing there isn't a gluten free bakery back home. :rolleyes:

It's kinda weird, because I have a sweet tooth, but when I go into a bakery.........

I look for...

BREAD!!!

To me, bakery means bread. I guess it comes from the European tradition of patisserie and konditorei for the sweet things in french and german, whereas in Germany, for bread I always went to the bakerei and shoved elbows at the counter with the best of them :D for my breakfast rolls.

      Help figuring out stomach pain

      By lizzie42 · Posted

      Hi, My 3 year old was diagnosed a couple months ago. We went gluten free, very strict, and everything improved. Energy, no more meltdowns, bad rash is mostly gone. She's doing great. Except she complains every day of stomach pain. She describes it as squeezing. Any ideas from anyone?  We cut out oats and it didn't make any difference. She doesn't drink milk, though she has cheese. It doesn't seem to coincide with the cheese. She says it hurts when she wakes and then other random times during the day.  We are SO strict with her food. We don't eat out, out whole house is gluten-free. I make everything from scratch. She eats very healthy. She's not picky and we do tons of fruit, veggies, meat, etc. we don't do a lot of processed food.

      Still unsure.....

      Ok so I couldn't find the thiamine you suggested but I was able to buy a bottle of 'standard' thiamine (100 mg). Should I just try half a tablet to see if I notice any difference? If it turns out it does have effect I can always buy the more expensive stuff. Or is that not a smart idea?

      Ectopic heartbeats - any relation to digestive issues?

      @cristiana, Yes, I found high carbohydrate meals would trigger mine as well.  I learned from Dr. Lonsdale that high carbohydrate diets can deplete thiamine.  Heart palpitations are a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  Diets high in refined simple carbohydrates (empty calories) need additional Thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  The more carbs one eats, the more Thiamine is required to process the additional calories.  500 mg more Thiamine is required for every additional one thousand calories.  This is named "High Calorie Malnutrition."  Sufficient calories are being consumed, but not enough of thiamine to burn the carbs for energy.  Instead to ration out the small supply of thiamine, the additional calories are stored as fat.  It takes less thiamine to burn fat than to burn carbs.    Do read Dr. Lonsdale' article here... Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      I used to suffer with migraines, but I have rarely had one since I started taking additional Thiamine.  The form called TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) can improve neurological functions in the brain.  Benfotiamine is another form that improves migraines. Look at the label on your B Complex vitamins.  It should tell you what form of thiamine is in it.  If it says thiamine mononitrate, you're probably not getting sufficient thiamine.  Thiamine Mononitrate is a form used in vitamin supplements and foods because it is shelf stable.  Shelf stable means it won't break down when exposed to heat and light sitting on a shelf waiting to be bought in a store or warehouse.  It also is very difficult for the body to break it down and utilize it.  Only about thirty percent of the amount of thiamine mononitrate on the label is absorbed.   Do take a look at Dr. Lonsdale and Dr. Marrs' website hormonesmatter.com.  Dr. Lonsdale has done much research on Thiamine.   Keep us posted on your progress!

      @DebJ14 The Spectracell Test for Micronutrient Deficiencies tests  intracellular levels of the nutrients INSIDE Leukocytes (white blood cells) which are in the bloodstream.  This still is not reflective of current stored vitamin levels inside organs.   The genetic MTHFR mutation does occur frequently with Celiac Disease.  Taking the methylated (activated) forms of the B vitamins is necessary.   A good multivitamin may not be sufficient to correct deficiencies.  Malabsorption due to the intestinal damage of Celiac Disease may prolong deficiency states.  Vitamin deficiencies need to be corrected quickly to prevent long-term problems.  Taking a B Complex twice a day increases absorption.  Taking a multivitamin as well is fine as multivitamins usually also contain some necessary minerals.
