Just wanted to update those of you interested--on my meeting with Marsh Supermarkets. The meeting went great and there are good things in store! Free gluten-free food samples in October for celiac disease awareness month, gluten-free food basket give-a-ways in the store, more gluten-free products, a gluten-free food list to be produced and distributed. I am working on getting them to partner with me to get an article in the Indianapolis Star or a story on the news. And I'm also trying to get them to sponsor me to make a brochure, print it and distribute it to doctors offices. I'm excited about it all :) Hopefull it will all come to fruition! Thanks to those of you who also passed along ideas to me...

Kate-

It should include all Marshs. However, products can vary a bit from store to store. However, the woman am I working with at their corporate office said that 99% of the time you can ask that a product carried at another location be carried at your local store. And she said oftentimes we can request totally new products. I will definitely post their gluten-free information what we finish it up. Have you noticed any new gluten-free or 'natural/organic' products at your store? Glad to see someone else here to shops there :)

I shop almost exclusively at Marsh, except for some products like Enjoy Life, Chebe, etc. and I am able to purchase most of my food from there (except for my rice or almond milk)...they have a much bigger selection of natural products (including carrying rice dream ice cream that I can "sometimes" eat) than our Kroger in town and are working to see if they can order me some passover mayo.

Well, enjoylife and chebe were both on my list of products they should carry--so maybe you'll be a one-stop shopper soon! I still go to 3 different places... I'll keep you updated!

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      By cristiana · Posted

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50. US 2024 - Increased Risk of Herpes Zoster Infection in Patients with Celiac Disease 50 Years Old and Older Sweden 2018 - Increased risk of herpes zoster in patients with coeliac disease - nationwide cohort study

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Flash1970 · Posted

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.
