Fantastic Gluten Free Bakery In Nj!

Hello everyone!

At the recommendation of a friend, I went to an ALL gluten-free bakery in Fords, NJ. The bakery is owned by a family whose 23 daughter has Celiac disease and is the baker in the facility. I tried it out today and I was so impressed with the food and the family's understanding and knowledge that I had to share it with everyone. I am in no way affiliated with this bakery, just a HIGHLY satisfied customer who wants to spread the word and help this family with their plight to make fantastic foods that we all can ENJOY eating. Their bread is so soft and you would never know its gluten free. Although its not on their website, they are also making pierogies, ravioli, and are going to be starting to make sub sandwiches that are ALL gluten free. They allowed me to sample some of their items and I couldn't be more impressed. I walked out of there with gluten free pizza (not frozen), white bread, vanilla cupcakes, crumb cake, a chocolate chip cookie, and fudge brownies. My fiance who does not have Celiac even bought his own food because he loved it so much! I've included the link below if you want more information.

Thank you so much for posting this! I read this the day before I went to new jersey. On our way home today, we stopped there because it was literally on the way.

I got all kinds of goodies that were amazing! YUM! Before I bought the bread, they let me sample it. When I bit into it, I just started crying right there in the store. I couldn't help it because...I have forgotten what normal bread tastes like, and when I tried that bread...it tasted EXACTLY like the homemade fresh Italian bread I used to eat all the time. They were tears of joy because that is THE BEST gluten free bread I EVER had. The bakery is two hours away from where I live, but it's so amazing that I'm thinking of driving down there to get more bread. Anyone anywhere near this place...you HAVE TO stop by!

Thanks again for posting this!:D

An ALL Gluten free shop! How long have they been open? In all honesty, and not to be so negative, but I say enjoy it while you can. Can't see a buisness that caters soley to such a small niche group surviving for very long. But, let's hope so!

Hmmm, I retract my previous post. Did a quick internet search on this place and found several articles. Seems like the real deal! People love it. That's great! Enjoy!!

While I was there they were packing up dozens of cupcakes for people who were coming to pick them up. They were running out of food cause so many people were ordering! They said they have been really busy and had super good business. Good for them! I think gluten free stores are going to be doing better because so many people are doing this as a "fad " diet. That's one way those idiots will work to our advantage. Lol

You are VERY welcome!!!!! You have no idea how happy this made me when I read your post. I'm glad someone else was able to enjoy fantastic food! I haven't been gluten free for a very long time, but even in this short time I was missing my GOOD tasting bread and goodies. They ARE amazing and they are also an amazing family who take the time to talk to you and find out your story and share theirs. I was actually there today (to pick up 3 crumb cakes - my favorite - if you haven't tried it you MUST) and they let us sample double chocolate chip cookies that were to DIE for!!!! They're even making me my bridal shower cake for next year and I can't wait for everyone to try it and say how good it is - then I'll tell them that its gluten free and better than their gluteny cakes!!! Victoria is right, you have to stop by this place - you will not regret it! I also picked up fresh cheese raviolis that were just made. DELICIOUS!!!!

They have been open for a while and are one of only 3 strictly gluten free bakeries in NJ. Because they are doing so well they are thinking of expanding to a different location that's set up cafe style. I cant wait!!!!

      Has someone experienced discrimination because of their illness?

      Regarding the discrimination you asked about, it is a lot more easy now to discriminate when you're supposed to answer whether or not you have celiac disease on job applications, and from what I've seen, MANY companies now include this question on their applications:

      When Home Isn't Safe: Celiac Disease, Cross-Contamination, and the Right to a Gluten-Free Space

      It's too bad relationships end because of this disease, but I suppose that being healthy may be more important than being married or living with someone who isn't on board with the gluten-free diet.

      When Home Isn't Safe: Celiac Disease, Cross-Contamination, and the Right to a Gluten-Free Space

      This is a huge topic. My ex husband didn't care. Even though I had my own area where his food wasn't allowed, I'd find crumbs. I was always constantly cleaning. I threw a lot of food away because I wouldn't be sure if he had contaminated it. It really showed what a narcissistic person he was and is. Now I'm in my own home. Much better. I do have dogs...

      Fiber-Metabolizing Bacteria Could Boost Gut Health in Celiac Disease

      People with coeliac disease have an altered gut biome compared with those who do not, which may be associated with gut inflammation. Although the gut biome recovers on a gluten-free diet, there are still significant differences at 2 years.

      Shaking/Tremors and Off Balance

      Hi Ginger38 Well done you for pushing through the pain barrier of eating gluten, when you know each mouthful is making you poorly. I went through the same thing not long ago, my biopsy was for dermatitis herpetiformis. Result positive, so 95% certain I have gut coeliacs too. But my bloods were negative, so very pleased I went for the gluten challenge...

      People with coeliac disease have an altered gut biome compared with those who do not, which may be associated with gut inflammation. Although the gut biome recovers on a gluten-free diet, there are still significant differences at 2 years. In a mouse model of coeliac disease, supplementation with the soluble dietary fibre, inulin, increased the number of beneficial microbes and reduced gut inflammation. Inulin is used by some plants as carbohydrate store, it is a complex polymer of fructose in the same way that starch is a complex polymer of glucose. Inulin cannot be digested by humans but serves as food source for some gut bacteria. Inulin is present in many vegetables but the richest sources are (g/100g): chicory root 41.6 Jerusalem artichoke 18.0 dandelion greens 13.5 garlic 12.5 leeks 6.5 onions 4.3 The Scientist: Fiber-Metabolizing Bacteria Could Boost Gut Health in Celiac Disease

      Has someone experienced discrimination because of their illness?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      When symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, or low energy change how we interact, others sometimes misinterpret that as disinterest, rudeness, or negativity—especially if they don’t understand the underlying condition. That doesn’t make their behavior okay, though. You don’t deserve to be treated poorly for something outside your control. Often, it reflects a lack of awareness or empathy on their part, not a fault in you. It can help to explain your condition to people you trust, but it’s also completely valid to set boundaries and distance yourself from those who respond with hostility. Your experience—and your reaction to it—makes sense. The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      HLA-DQ2 POSITIVE it's nothing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Being HLA-DQ2 positive doesn’t diagnose celiac disease by itself, but it does mean he has the genetic potential for it, so it absolutely deserves careful follow-up if symptoms or concerns are present. You’re right that celiac is often downplayed, but it’s a serious autoimmune condition—not an allergy—and it can affect the brain, nervous system, and overall health if untreated. Given everything your son has been through, you’re doing the right thing by advocating and asking questions. I would strongly recommend getting a full copy of his records, and if possible, consulting a gastroenterologist who understands celiac disease well so you can get clear answers and, if needed, proper testing and monitoring.
