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:

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By trents · Posted

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Just a gluten free diet is not enough.  Now you have to identify and replenish your malnutrition.  Celiac disease is co-morbid with malabsorption syndrome.  Low vitamin D, Low Thiamine caused Gastointeston Beriberi, low choline, low iodine are common the general population, and in newly diagnosed Celiacs in the western culture its is more likely.  It takes time to heal and you need to focus on vitamins and minerals.  Gluten free foods are not fortified like regular processed foods.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By Sarah Grace · Posted

      Dear Kitty Since March I have been following your recommendations regarding vitamins to assist with various issues that I have been experiencing.  To recap, I am aged 68 and was late diagnosed with Celiac about 12 years ago.  I had been experiencing terrible early morning headaches which I had self diagnosed as hypoglycaemia.  I also mentioned that I had issues with insomnia, vertigo and brain fog.   It's now one year since I started on the Benfotiamine 600 mg/day.  I am still experiencing the hypoglycaemia and it's not really possible to say for sure whether the Benfotiamine is helpful.  In March this year, I added B-Complex Thiamine Hydrochloride and Magnesium L-Threonate on a daily basis, and I am now confident to report that the insomnia and vertigo and brain fog have all improved!!  So, very many thanks for your very helpful advice. I am now less confident that the early morning headaches are caused by hypoglycaemia, as even foods with a zero a GI rating (cheese, nuts, etc) can cause really server headaches, which sometimes require migraine medication in order to get rid off.  If you are able to suggest any other treatment I would definitely give it a try, as these headaches are a terrible burden.  Doctors in the UK have very limited knowledge concerning dietary issues, and I do not know how to get reliable advice from them. Best regards,

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.
