I'm from Canada and I'll be traveling to near Des Moines, Iowa next month for a family reunion. We will be staying at a resort (Honey Creek) and I'm not sure of how good the food will be. What is a good place to stock up on snacks and easy gluten-free food in Des Moines before heading there?

Also, what would be the best place to get Larabars? I want to try some of the flavors we don't have in Canada.

HyVee grocery stores for gluten-free snacks and Lara bars  . Louie’s wine dive in Kansas City does great with gluten-free - it’s a chain from Des Moines .  Whole Foods are good too.  Let me check for more .... I think there might be a gluten-free bakery.

Just came from the area after driving through from Indiana. The bakery is Sweet Rewards Gluten Free Bakery. It was good! Not far off of I80 in a suburb called Waukee. We didn't need to stop anywhere else at that point but Find Me app had some options.

I live in a town with hy-vee grocery stores. If you go to their website Open Original Shared Link and click on the gluten free foods link you will find every hy-vee product that is gluten free. I have had many and have never had a problem.  This list is for Hy-Vee products so it will not include other companies. I seem to survive off a lot of PB and J sandwiches when traveling.

      Blood Tests showed positive for celiac / Endoscopy confirmed no evidence of Celiac

      By EmilyKate · Posted

      So I’ve been eating gluten free since doing a further blood test and that came back giving a positive result, they said I could go back and have another endoscopy  but just didn’t want to go through that again. I’ve been gluten free since October and do feel a lot better so have just accepted that this is the way for me now, even though results are still ambiguous.

      Daughter's high test results.

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  My daughter has reacted to casein and the symptoms are unmissable- totally gluten symptoms. Joint pain, nausea, intestinal spasms. This has happened ten months after we went dairy free along with gluten free post diagnosis. I am certain she is reacting to casein. We never did oats for the same fear. Not even going to try the Certified one.  It might be worth looking at the meds- xanthan gum, guar gum, and cellulose gum is also what she reacts to. I bet you’ll find them in every OTC for kids.  We have stopped using things like honey -!: ketchup as well. Basically anything coming out of a packet.  My daughter was diagnosed with >100 ttg. Five months later in was down to 13. But then she had literally no symptoms.    As time has passed she reacts to slightest of things. We have obviously stopped casein, we only needed it for butter, because almost every cooking oil has been prone to contamination for us. It’ll be interesting to see what her labs look like in June, which will be an annual antibody test. We decided not to test her at six months this time because I was certain she was reacting to many things . She is six now and was diagnosed at five. I cannot tell you how wrong the doc was when she said oh just don’t eat gluten and she’ll be fine. Doctors send ups packing like that. I wished it was as simple as that.    I hope your daughter feels better soon.

      Need advice for some relief!

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:
