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:

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies.  Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

      Thank you so much for your response  Yes it seems as though things get very painful as time goes on.  I'm not eating gluten as far as I know.  However, I'm not sure of cross contamination.  My system seems to weaken to hidden spices and other possibilities. ???  if cross contamination is possible...I am in a super sensitive mode of celiac disease.. Neuropathy from head to toes

      EXACTLY! I was asked yesterday on my LAST video call with Standford and I stated exactly yes absolutely this is why I need the name! One, get proper care, two, not get worse.Im falling apart, stressed out, in pain and just opened email from Stanford stating I was rude ect.I want that video reviewed by higher ups and see if that women still has a job or not.Im saying this because I've been medically screwed and asking for help because bills don't pay itself. This could be malpratice siit but im not good at finding lawyers

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
