Grandma Ferdon's

While on vacation, I was able to stop at Grandma Ferdon's Gluten Free Store in Hayward Wisconsin. It is a nice little shop with many nice items. I thought the prices were reasonable for gluten free items as most of her mixes makes more than 1 loaf or more than one batch of bisquits. However, nearly all of her ready made items have milk or cream in them. I have decided that most of all of the good breads out there have milk in them and I can't have milk. Anyway, I would recommend her items, however I do believe her shipping costs are high, but then, today, everything is high priced!!

I have ordered from her several times and Jacob seems to enjoy her stuff...Yes the shipping is CRAZY but we usually order frozen stuff so it gets here the next day...I guess I cant complain:)

I would recommend her also.

The shipping really isn't bad IF you live in the upper midwest. I live around an hour away from Hayward, so I usually just drive up there but with gas prices the way they are it's getting to the point where delivery is cheaper. I pay $12.95 for up to 25lbs and get it the very next day, pretty sweet deal. Might I recommend the cinnamon rolls, they are REALLY good.

Bernadette, isn't Julie just a doll? She is so caring.

Yes, Julie is wonderful, very caring. She did inform me that once she gets her feet under her, she has been extremely busy keeping up with store orders, that she will start making some "dairy free" items. She is just not happy with the way things turn out right now using rice milk, I think she wants to try some different things so she can get the best flavor and texture.

I finally know what Grandma Ferdon's is!! :lol: I am sitting here eating some Donut Holes :rolleyes: , (Grandma Ferdon's of course!) drinking coffee and reading the Celiac Message Board. How much more could one Celiac ask for??

I found Grandma Ferdon's at The Good Harvest store in Waukesha, Wi. Everything is frozen but still good! The store is only about 1/2 hour from me. I was SO excited to finally go in there! Here all of this time I have been ordering online and paying a bunch in shipping. The store has breads, cereals, snacks, cookies.... and a two door section in the freezer for Grandma Ferdon's. I was so excited to try a brownie!

On a side note:

I am in a wedding tomorrow. We are starting our day at 8:45am getting our hair done. Then to the church where someone is bringing subs from subway. Seeing as there are 10 girls in the wedding, subs would be easiest for the bride. I bought a pizza crust at Good Harvest and am going to bring cold pizza!!! ;) I feel like a whole new world opened for me with this store! I just wanted to share my excitement! :P

Congratulations on your wedding!

Those donut holes are the best aren't they? I could just eat a whole bag. I found Grandma Ferdon's at a store near me, too. They don't carry everything that I like but they carry the bread I like, several desserts, donuts and donut holes, pizza, and of course my beloved cinnamon rolls!

Hi Julie,

Just wondering if a recipe book has been done or is still in the offering.  I really miss the waffles.

Consider buying a new waffle iron and converting your old waffle recipe by substituting with a good gluten free flour blend like Pamela’s or King Arthur that can be purchased from a supplier like Amazon.

No recipe?  This one works:

      Gluten exposure when trying to conceive

      By trents · Posted

      My reaction to a gluten bolus exposure is similar to yours, with 2-3 hours of severe abdominal cramps and intractable emesis followed by several hours of diarrhea. I don't necessarily equate that one large exposure to gluten with significant intestinal lining damage, however. I think it's just a violent reaction to a what the body perceives to be a somewhat toxic substance that I am no longer tolerant of because I have quit exposing myself to it regularly. It's just the body purging itself of it rather than an expression of significant damage. Before diagnosis, when I was consuming gluten daily, I had little to no GI distress. I was, for the most part, a "silent celiac". The damage to my small bowel lining didn't happen all at once but was slow and insidious, accumulating over a period of years. The last time I got a big shot of gluten was about three years ago when I got my wife's wheat biscuits mixed up with my gluten-free ones. There was this acute reaction after about two hours of ingestion as I described above. I felt washed out for a few days and fully recovered within a week or so.  Now, I'm a 74-year-old male. So, I'm not worried about being pregnant. And I don't want to contradict your physicians advice. But I just don't think you have done significant damage to your small bowel lining by one episode of significant gluten ingestion. I just don't think it works that way.

      Gluten exposure when trying to conceive

      By Skydawg · Posted

      Wondering about some thoughts on how long to wait to try to get pregnant after a gluten exposure?  I have been diagnosed for 10 years and have followed the diet strictly. I have been cross contaminated before, but have never had a full on gluten exposure. I went to a restaurant recently, and the waiter messed up and gave me regular bread and told me it was gluten free. 2 hours later I was throwing up for the whole evening. I have never had that kind of reaction before as I have never had such a big exposure. My husband and I were planning to start trying to get pregnant this month. My dr did blood work to check for electrolytes and white blood cells, but did not do a full nutritional panel. Most of my GI symptoms have resolved in the past 2 weeks, but I am definitely still dealing with brain fog, fatigue and headaches. My dr has recommended I wait 3 months before I start to try to get pregnant.   I have read else where about how long it can take for the intestine to fully heal, and the impacts gluten exposure can have on pregnancy. I guess I am really wondering if anyone has had a similar experience? How long does it take to heal after 1 exposure like that, after following the diet so well for 10 years? Is 3 months an okay amount of time to wait? Is there anything I can do in the meantime to reduce my symptoms?

      Gluten Free Cannabis Edibles

      I’ve used tinctures and made my own edibles with gluten-free ingredients to stay safe. Dispensary staff don’t always know about gluten, so I double-check labels or just make my own.

      Damage after 13 years gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that there are some good doctors out there, and this is an example of why having a formal diagnosis can definitely be helpful.

      Damage after 13 years gluten free

      By RMJ · Posted

      Update: I have a wonderful new gastroenterologist. She wants to be sure there’s nothing more serious, like refractory celiac, going on. She ordered various tests including some micronutrient tests that no one has ever ordered before.  I’m deficient in folate and zinc and starting supplements for both. I’m so glad I decided to go to a new GI!
