I have found that every month local groceries are adding more gluten free items. You kind of have to go through trial and error to find things that taste good to you. <br /><br />King Kullen has a great pasta I found and cereal/breakfast bars; Stop & Shop has a natural/organic section where they carry quite a few things (pretzels, cookies, waffles, mixes and pasta). Trader Joes has a crustless quiche and Weight Watcher's Smart Ones carries several of their frozen meals that are gluten free. Oh, and Utz brand chips - ALL their chips are gluten free. Most brands just their plain chips are okay to eat, but Utz says on the back of all theirs "gluten free". <br /><br />I wish your son-in-law a lot of luck. You definitely miss certain foods, but the trade off is well worth it to me!Kathy @ Creative Home Expressionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01341667486449125153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4293397190628506592.post-82681008429602576632009-07-11T16:51:04.688-04:002009-07-11T16:51:04.688-04:00Hi Kathy.

My son-in-law is making the same kind of journey that you did - GERD diagnosis and trouble for many years, and stumbled upon an article about gluten intolerance. After two gluten-free weeks he is feeling much better! I will pass on your blog, with thanks!<br />Many years ago - at least 15 - my husband sourced a rice pasta for friends whose children had celiac disease. What a blessing that was for them to have something different to eat. A gluten-free diet is a challenge but what a difference it makes in quality of life! <br />Wishing you all the best in your road to feeling healthy!edwardsdraperyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18288636192986359971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4293397190628506592.post-44907246185688925262009-06-29T07:06:59.383-04:002009-06-29T07:06:59.383-04:00Thanks Amy!

I've actually found a gluten free pasta in my local supermarket - it is the best one I've tasted so far. <br /><br />I like the crustless quiches that Trader Joes carries, plus they are convenient to bring to the office for lunch.Kathy @ Creative Home Expressionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01341667486449125153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4293397190628506592.post-40861288135708407342009-06-28T22:31:39.435-04:002009-06-28T22:31:39.435-04:00Thanks for sharing your story.

I'm glad to hear that you finally got a diagnosis! <br /><br />I discovered that Trader Joe's sells a brown rice pasta that's pretty tasty if you're a pasta fan!Amy {The Red Chair Blog}http://theredchairblog.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4293397190628506592.post-6652408131046782802009-06-28T20:12:54.707-04:002009-06-28T20:12:54.707-04:00Marie ~ I hate to cook, but I appreciate the offer...Marie ~ I hate to cook, but I appreciate the offer. : )<br /><br />It is a sad reflection that no one thought to do the simple blood test. Yes, the good news is more stores are carrying gluten free foods and Smart Ones by Weight Watchers even has several of their frozen meals that are gluten free.Kathy @ Creative Home Expressionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01341667486449125153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4293397190628506592.post-39594248386014346202009-06-28T17:42:39.461-04:002009-06-28T17:42:39.461-04:00Sad that you had to suffer for so long and sad too...Sad that you had to suffer for so long and sad too that you had to diagnose yourself but the good thing is nowadays it's easier to make meals without gluten. <br /><br />Hi Kathy, I have a dear friend who has that same disease (she was diagnosed about 5 years ago) and she loves to cook so if you want her info. let me know and you can maybe exchange recipes. By the way, if you like beer there is a gluten free one out there. ;))))<br /><br />Glad that you are feeling soooo much better!!!!!Marie Colehttp://www.decoratorondemand.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4293397190628506592.post-34578712044007274812009-06-28T10:52:22.849-04:002009-06-28T10:52:22.849-04:00Thank you, Jackie.

It is a great relief to know it can be controlled but right now diet is the only thing to help. <br /><br />I hope that my sharing might actually help someone else who may have it but is misdiagnosed or, even if they are gluten free already they have another source for some well-tested food.Kathy @ Creative Home Expressionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01341667486449125153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4293397190628506592.post-84675532308845697842009-06-28T09:50:16.296-04:002009-06-28T09:50:16.296-04:00Wow, Kathy...It was so nice of you to share a pers...Wow, Kathy...It was so nice of you to share a personal story about yourself! You are such a detective...I could just image the look on your doctor face, when you diagnosed yourself...When after many year they couldn't figure it out! I'm glad to hear you have found a bread that you are able to eat without the uncomfortable feeling. Hope you enjoy that French toast!Alluring Interiorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13806230529230524729noreply@blogger.com
