If I had the money I would want to open a cafe/bakery/grocery called Wheatless in Wheat! I wonder if the town is large enough to support such a business?

I Googled the town and find it sad for the former residents. It appears it was once a pleasant and productive community.

The Wheat I know hasn't existed since 1942 when the government took it to build the Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the plants associated with it. Wheat is part of Oak Ridge, Tennessee. There are three things in what used to be Wheat: the now-defunct K-25, an overlook of the plant, and an African burial ground. The African Burial ground is interesting.

I think maybe Andrew was having a bit 'o fun with us.

However, there is a nice little place to get a gluten-free lunch in Oak Ridge called Connie's Naturally Gourmet. You can go there after you visit the American Museum of Science and Energy where you can see pictures of Wheat and the people who lived there.

Nuttin' like a lil history.

      Not Sure What to Think

      By MMH13 · Posted

      Thank you so much, everyone. For the moment my doctor just has me taking iron but hopefully we can reconnect soon. I'm going to look into genetic testing, too. Great advice all around and I appreciate it--and you can bet I'm going off the PPIs!

      Sore muscles

      By Eldene · Posted

      I walk fast for fitness, 4 to 6 km per day. I am also 74 years old. Apart from the Celiac challenge, my lifestyle is healthy. I had a sciatiac nerve pinching under my one foot, with inflamation in my whole shin. It was almost cured, when the other shin started paining and burning. I do stretches, use a natural cooling gel and rest my feet. Can Celiac cause muscle pains/inflamation, or is it just over-excercising?

      Trader Joe's grocery prodcuts

      By LovintheGFlife · Posted

      I recently started shopping at a nearby Trader Joe's store. I was surprised at the number and variety of (healthy) gluten-free options sold there. I must admit their low prices are also quite tempting. However, I am curious as to the labeling on all their packages. While none of their products are certified as gluten-free, many are identified as 'GLUTEN FREE' on the packaging. Are these items safe for celiacs? Has anyone tried Trader Joe's products and have there been any adverse reactions?

      Gluten challenge

      By Beverley Ann Johnson · Posted

      HI, my doctor suggested one week of consuming gluten before blood tests.  I have been gluten free for 3 years.  Has anyone been through this and will I get exact results after one week of consuming gluten?  I don't even know if I can do this, if I get sick I am not sure if I can continue, any suggestions??  Thanks in advance.
