Hi,

I know that someone has asked this before, but I can't seem to find the thread. I am going there after work. What can I eat there that is gluten-free? I know the dill potatoes are ok, but the apples are not. I can't remember what else is safe.

Thanks,

Traci

Laura, we just moved from that area you mention.... (I'm going to pretend that I'm right and you're living exactly near where I lived in Va.Beach) :D there's a health food store called, "The Heritage" down near the ocean....Just keep going east on Laskin *It's confusing because Laskin and Va. Beach Blvd do a merging thing as you head towards the oceanfront*...anyway, The Heritage is all the way east, as you approach the ocean. It's awesome and even better is Michael. He'll order you any gluten free product you want. He got me everything and then some. He ordered me foods by George before anyone had ever heard of George. He had Tinkyadas before anyone else. He got me gluten free pie crusts. The store looks junky from the outside, but it's great as far as supply. There's also an Outback out that way. We ate out there all the time and when we didn't eat out, we did the curbside take away. They were great with the gluten free menu. Never had a problem. If the Boston Mk you're referring to is the one I'm thinking of *it's on vabeachblvd, or laskin??? There's a grocery store right in back and there's a party city there as well???? (sorry if I'm totally wrong about where you are) But if I'm correct about where you're talking about, that food store has a health food section that has Tinkyadas, cereal, etc and the prices are great. Good luck!

Laura,

Here is the website for the Heritage. The great thing about Va. Beach was that the food stores generally carried Tinkyadas, Envirokidz cereals, Pacific Brands broths and more. I LOVED that about Va beach. There's NO WholeFoods, though. I have a young son who has Celiac and I needed food NOW when we arrived. I'd researched the area before moving from California and was really worried. I'd found The Heritage store prior to our move and called them from Ca. The person on the phone was not very reassuring about the quantity or variety of gluten free foods they had available, but I went straight to there when we arrived and was bowled over by the gluten free foods. Then the guy in charge of the freezer section, Michael, well, he got me anything I wanted. If he saw me in the store, he'd drag me over to the freezer section and show me what else he'd ordered for us. He was the best. When I moved in March, they had Glutano cereal bars and breadsticks and told me they were going to make a "gluten free section". I found NO good support groups in the area, like a R.O.C.K. group or something... You might have a lot of success beginning something like that in that area.

Oh, I saw a picture of Michael on the web site! Look/ask for him at the store. He really will help you out. And remember, it's a funky, weird store. Don't be afraid. :lol:

      Blood results

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      Daughter has started gluten free diet this week as per gastroenterologists suggestion. However says she feels more tired and like she’s been hit by a train. I suggested it could be the change to gluten free or just stress from the endoscopy last week catching up with her. Just wondering if feeling more tired is a normal reaction at this stage. I suppose it’s possible some gluten might have been present without realising. Have tried to reassure her it’s not going to resolve symptoms overnight

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By plumbago · Posted

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.
