So, last night I went to 'Whole Foods' in Providence for a free tour of the store with other 'Celiacs' given by a Nutritionist/Celiac of 15 years. It was very interesting as we went through the store and she explained many of the products and showed us what to look for on labels and how the store will segragate many of it's gluten-free products in each aisle. She also told us what some of her favorite gluten-free foods were and how to prepare some of them. Whole Foods also has many of their own gluten-free baked goods. The store gave each of us on the tour a little 'goodie bag' with a few gluten-free treats and a list of gluten-free foods that they carry in the store. It was great fun and very informative. At the end of the tour there was a little question and answer time and Mary Beth Winter, the tour guide/nutritionist/celiac, gave us her card so if we had any questions we could contact her. She was great! So now today, since I am out of my gluten-free bread, I am attempting to 'bake' my own. So far....the dough does not seem to be rising.....so I hope it will come out ok. Otherwise, a complete waste of time and effort so here's hoping! Have a great day all!
