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:

      Chances of being coeliac

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Welcome @JoJo0611. That is a valid question.  Unfortunately the short answer is slim to none.  Be proactive, when the diagnosis process is completed, start GFD.  Remember also that the western diet is deficient in many nutrients that governments require fortification.  Read the side of a breakfast cereal box. Anti-tTG antibodies has superseded older serological tests It has a strong sensitivity (99%) and specificity (>90%) for identifying celiac disease. A list of symptoms linked to Celiac is below.  No one seems to be tracking it, but I suspect that those with elevated ttg, but not diagnosed with Celiac Disease, are diagnosed with celiac disease many years later or just die, misdiagnosed.  Wheat has a very significant role in our economy and society.  And it is addictive.  Anti-tTG antibodies can be elevated without gluten intake in cases of other autoimmune diseases, certain infections, and inflammatory conditions like inflammatory bowel disease. Transient increases have been observed during infections such as Epstein-Barr virus.Some autoimmune disorders including hepatitis and biliary cirrhosis, gall bladder disease. Then, at 65 they are told you have Ciliac Disease. Milk protein has been connected to elevated levels.   Except for Ireland and New Zealand where almost all dairy cows are grass fed, commercial diaries feed cows TMR Total Mixed Rations which include hay, silage, grains and concentrate, protein supplements, vitamins and minerals, byproducts and feed additives. Up to 80% of their diet is food that cannot be eaten by humans. Byproducts of cotton seeds, citrus pulp, brewer’s grains (wheat and barley, rye, malt, candy waste, bakery waste. The wheat, barley and rye become molecules in the milk protein and can trigger tTg Iga in persons suseptible to Celiac. I can drink Grass fed milk, it tastes better, like the milk the milkman delivered in the 50's.  If I drink commercial or Organic milk at bedtime I wake with indigestion.

      Dedicated gluten-free Restaurants in East Bay (near San Francisco):

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      I strongly recommend 2 dedicated gluten free (gluten-free) restaurants in my area (East Bay of San Francisco Bay Area) (2025) -- Life is Sweet Bakery and Café in Danville. I've been a few times with friends and tried multiple entrees and salads. All very good and worth having again. I've also tried a number of their bakery goods. All extremely good (not just "good for gluten-free"). https://lifeissweetbakeryandcafe.com/ -- Kitara Kitchen in Albany (they have additional locations). I've been once and had the "Buritto Bowl". Six individual items plus a sauce. Outstanding. Not just "for gluten-free", but outstanding in its own right. Vibrant flavors, great textures. I can't wait to go back. https://www.kitava.com/location/kitava-albany/

      I'm 67 and have been celiac for 17yrs. I had cataract surgery and they put a gluten lens in my eye. Through a lot of research, I found out about MMA acrylic...it contains gluten. It took 6 months for me to find a DR that would remove it and replace it with a gluten-free lens . I have lost some vision in that eye because of it . I also go to a prosthodontist instead of a regular dentist because they are specialized. He has made me a night guard and a few retainers with no issues... where my regular dentist didn't care. I have really bad reactions to gluten and I'm extremely sensitive, even to CC. I have done so much research on gluten-free issues because of these Drs that just don't care. Gluten is in almost everything shampoo, lotion, food, spices, acrylic, medication even communion wafers! All of my Drs know and believe me I remind them often.... welcome to my world!

      If this applies geographically, in the U.K., physicians will often declare a diagnosis of celiac disease based on the TTG-IGA antibody blood test alone if the score is 10x normal or greater, which your score is. There is very little chance the endoscopy/biopsy will contradict the antibody blood test.
