There are no stores in my area (central/south jersey) that carry it. I called Vance's to place my latest order, and the woman checked the 2 area codes closest to me--and nothing came up. She told me that they are a very small co. and their business is mostly word of mouth right now. The best thing to do would be to call them, and ask them to check for you. I have found the people there very friendly, and happy to help. Their phone #--1800-497-4834.

Patti ~ I'm so glad that you are still liking the Dari-free!

I buy it from my little co-op HFS here. Whole Foods didn't carry it and neither does any of our grocery stores.. Order it from there website and try it! If I had more room to store, I'd order a case of it...

It is $8 for the smallest size, PLUS $6 shipping. I would much rather buy it locally and save the shipping incase we dont like it. :(

Cheri--Hi! Yes, I do enjoy it--thanks again for letting me know about it. WF and Wild Oats here don't carry it, either. I printed out some info. off of their website and gave it to the owner of my local health food store. I hope she will try and carry it. I would be nice to avoid the shipping.

Co-ops are large 'buying groups' that usually give greatly reduced prices to the buyers. I love them! I am in one for products, and would like to join a food one...but there isn't one start locally. Depending on the co-op, they can be a bit frustrating administratively...especially if you are in charge of it. ie. lots of them operate on a monthly minimum, say $700. So a group of people will join in and make one order a month say. But you have to reach the minimum. Not all groups are like that though...Frontier (that I'm in), requires a group for membership, but I can order on my own at any time. The one I want to join is UBC: Open Original Shared Link You can always ck on a coop or buying club to see if there is one established locally. Starting one can be a lot of work. Through Frontier I get all natural/organic products from a ton of brands, at 1/2 or below 1/2 the retail/in-store price. Can't beat that!

I'm in the United Buying Clubs and it's been a lifesaver. I met a lady at my local grocery store and she introduced me to our local group. I truely beleive God helped me to find this group. I started my membership right as we found out my dd had celiac disease. In my town we don't have a Whole Food's or Trader Joe's so I would be lost without this resource. I'm actually getting my monthly order together right now. :D

When I was trying to find out if there was a co-op in my area I looked online and couldn't find one. Sometimes the co-op's are listed on the site but sometimes they're not, mine wasn't. You might want to call United Buying Clubs and see if there's a co-op in your area.

The prices are great especially when they're on sale. :)

Vincent ~ :( on the $6.00 shipping!! I understand!! Hmmm.. I think I pay a little over $7.00 for mine. Would you like me to see how much it would cost to ship one to you? I can't imagine it would be $6.00!! It doesn't weigh much, it's powder..

Our health food store is a co-op, but anyone can shop there. There are just some monthly member specials that the general public doesn't get the advantage of. They also offer cooking classes that are free/reduced fee for members etc. I like it better than WF. The membership fee that I had paid is also fully refundable whenever I choose. I get 5% off once/month and 10% off case discount.

Hi,

I belong to our local co-op and have shopped there for years. There are some links on its site to finding a local co-op or setting one up. Also tells a little about what a co-op is/does.

Prbly not much less, theres min shipping charges on things. I just stoped in a store here called "Its all Sugar Free" They sell mostly diabetic foods, and low carb stuff, BUT they carry gluten free pantry line of mixes. So I am working on them adding s gluten-free line :D They told me they would see if they could order Darifree for a reasonable price. Same with Kinnickinnik's line.

Thanks Debbie--that was interesting!

So jealous of you Kasey's mom!!

For others...well, to search for a co-op you would first need to have one in mind. You could search United Buying Clubs, that I gave the link for. This site isn't complete, but does list some by state you could ck out: Open Original Shared Link Or this site: Open Original Shared Link On the same topic there is a great site that lists farmer's markets, natural food stores etc. and you can search throughout the country--very cool. Found a farm I use from the site. Can't find it at the moment...will keep looking. Like living well or something like that...

Found it found it!! Open Original Shared Link

Open Original Shared Link And in case someone is interested in the coop I belong to. Unfortunately you can't access the main page/catalog w/o a password, but if interested, I could send you a list of the companies. Wait, I'll just paste it...at the risk of the long list being annoying!

Vincent,

I checked our local co-op, which is affiliated with several others, but the only one in Tennesee is in Knoxville. If you or anyone want to check out the list it's at Open Original Shared Link

Vincent, I love using Vance's but I've only been able to find it a one of our local mom & pop health food stores. I hope you can locate it. I have a recipe somewhere that you can use it to even make ice cream! :)

KM: Well go ahead and send it. If I cant get a local stor to order it, I might break down and order it my self.

jerseyangel Proficient

Kasey's Mom--If it's not too much trouble, if you can find it, I would love the ice cream recipe using the Vance's. I emailed them recently about recipes, but did not hear back. Thanks :)

Hey ~ can I get that recipe too?

Vincent ~ hope you can get them to get it.. Let me know if you change your mind. I was thinking regular mail wouldn't be that expensive.

Cheri A, jerseyangel and Vincent,

I've PM the recipes to you. Let me know if you didn't get it. :):)

      The NIH article you link actually supports what I have been trying to explain to you: "Celiac disease (celiac disease) is an autoimmune-mediated enteropathy triggered by dietary gluten in genetically prone individuals. The current treatment for celiac disease is a strict lifelong gluten-free diet. However, in some celiac disease patients following a strict gluten-free diet, the symptoms do not remit. These cases may be refractory celiac disease or due to gluten contamination; however, the lack of response could be related to other dietary ingredients, such as maize, which is one of the most common alternatives to wheat used in the gluten-free diet. In some celiac disease patients, as a rare event, peptides from maize prolamins could induce a celiac-like immune response by similar or alternative pathogenic mechanisms to those used by wheat gluten peptides. This is supported by several shared features between wheat and maize prolamins and by some experimental results. Given that gluten peptides induce an immune response of the intestinal mucosa both in vivo and in vitro, peptides from maize prolamins could also be tested to determine whether they also induce a cellular immune response. Hypothetically, maize prolamins could be harmful for a very limited subgroup of celiac disease patients, especially those that are non-responsive, and if it is confirmed, they should follow, in addition to a gluten-free, a maize-free diet." Notice that those for whom it is suggested to follow a maize-free diet are a "very limited subgroup of celiac disease patients". Please don't try to make your own experience normative for the entire celiac community.  Notice also that the last part of the concluding sentence in the paragraph does not equate a gluten-free diet with a maize-free diet, it actually puts them in juxtaposition to one another. In other words, they are different but for a "limited subgroup of celiac disease patients" they produce the same or a similar reaction. You refer to celiac reactions to cereal grain prolamins as "allergic" reactions and "food sensitivity". For instance, you say, "NIH sees all these grains as in opposition to celiacs, of which I am one and that is science, not any MD with a good memory who overprescribes medications that contain known food allergens in them, of which they have zero knowledge if the patient is in fact allergic to or not, since they failed to do simple 'food sensitivity' testing" and "IF a person wants to get well, they should be the one to determine what grains they are allergic to and what grains they want to leave out, not you. I need to remind you that celiac disease is not an allergy, it is an autoimmune disorder. Neither allergy testing nor food sensitivity testing can be used to diagnose celiac disease. Allergy testing and food sensitivity testing cannot detect the antibodies produced by celiac disease in reaction to gluten ingestion.  You say of me, "You must be one of those who are only gluten intolerant . . ." Gluten intolerance is synonymous with celiac disease. You must be referring to gluten sensitivity or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). Actually, I have been officially diagnosed with celiac disease both by blood antibody testing and by endoscopy/positive biopsy. Reacting to all cereal grain prolamins does not define celiac disease. If you are intent on teaching the truth, please get it straight first.

      Perhaps you would still like to answer the questions I posed on this topic, because that is all I asked. I am curious to know the answers to those questions, I do not care about the background of Dr. Osborne as I am more aware of the situation than you are, and he is also one of the best known authors out there on Celiac disease. But did you even bother to read the three Research Papers I posted by NIH? You must be one of those who are only gluten intolerant and not yet reacting to all glutens aka grains, but I AM one of those who react to ALL the glutens, and again, that is one of the two questions I originally posted on this matter. NIH sees all these grains as in opposition to celiacs, of which I am one and that is science, not any MD with a good memory who overprescribes medications that contain known food allergens in them, of which they have zero knowledge if the patient is in fact allergic to or not, since they failed to do simple 'food sensitivity' testing. I started with the failed FDA explanation of what Gluten Free is and I stayed sick and got even sicker. It wasn't until I came across NIH's papers and went off all grains that I realized that in fact, I am Celiac and reacting to all the glutens. IF a person wants to get well, they should be the one to determine what grains they are allergic to and what grains they want to leave out, not you. Those who are just getting started with learning about grains etc., can take it easy by just being "grain free' and eating a lot of meat, vegetables, etc. or whole foods as God has intended, without buying so called gluten free garbage out there that is making them sick and the whole reason they are not better. I tried the stupid gluten free garbage and it didn't work, and that will make anyone want to give up, it is better to teach the entire truth and let the patient decide, rather than give them misinformation and lies.

      I was born with celiac disease im 20 years old. And I've been gluten free my whole life. Yes my diet is 100 percent gluten free and no i don't eat at restaurants at all. I got glutened by a chips that was marked as gluten free but it wasn't the company said the packaging was old and the recipe was new.
