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!!!!

      You might consider asking for a referral to a RD (Registered Dietician) to help with food choices and planning a diet. Even apart from any gluten issues, you will likely find there are some foods you need to avoid because of the shorter bowel but you may also find that your system may make adjustments over time and that symptoms may improve.

      I wish Dr’s would have these discussions with their patients. So frustrating but will continue to do research. Absolutely love this website. I will post any updates on my testing and results. Thank you

      Small Bowel Resection 12 inches

      Losing 12" of your small bowel is going to present challenges for you in nutritional uptake because you are losing a significant amount of nutritional absorption surface area. You will need to focus on consuming foods that are nutritionally dense and also probably look at some good supplements. If indeed you are having issues with gluten you will need to...

      There are two gluten-related disorders that share many of the same symptoms but differ in nature from each other. One is known as celiac disease or "gluten intolerance". By nature, it is an autoimmune disorder, meaning the ingestion of gluten triggers the body to attack it's own tissues, specifically the lining of the small bowel. This attack causes...

      Losing 12" of your small bowel is going to present challenges for you in nutritional uptake because you are losing a significant amount of nutritional absorption surface area. You will need to focus on consuming foods that are nutritionally dense and also probably look at some good supplements. If indeed you are having issues with gluten you will need to educate yourself as to how gluten is hidden in the food supply. There's more to it than just avoiding the major sources of gluten like bread and pasta. It is hidden in so many things you would never expect to find it in like canned tomato soup and soy sauce just to name a few. It can be in pills and medications.  Also, your "yellow diarrhea, constipation and bloating" though these are classic signs of a gluten disorder, could also be related to the post surgical shorter length of your small bowel causing incomplete processing/digestion of food.

      There are two gluten-related disorders that share many of the same symptoms but differ in nature from each other. One is known as celiac disease or "gluten intolerance". By nature, it is an autoimmune disorder, meaning the ingestion of gluten triggers the body to attack it's own tissues, specifically the lining of the small bowel. This attack causes inflammation and produces antibodies that can be detected in the blood by specific tests like the TTG-IGA test you had. Over time, if gluten is not withheld, this inflammation can cause severe damage to the lining of the small bowel and even result in nutrient deficiency related health issues since the small bowel lining is organ where all the nutrition found in our food is absorbed.  The other is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just "gluten sensitivity") which we know less about and are unsure of the exact mechanism of action. It is not an autoimmune disorder and unlike celiac disease it does not damage the lining of the small bowel, though, like celiac disease, it can cause GI distress and it can also do other kinds of damage to the body. It is thought to be more common than celiac disease. Currently, we cannot test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out to arrive at a diagnosis of NCGS. Both disorders require elimination of gluten from the diet.  Either of these disorders can find their onset at any stage of life. We know that celiac disease has a genetic component but the genes are inactive until awakened by some stress event. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% develop active celiac disease. The incidence of NCGS is thought to be considerably higher. I hope this helps.
