I'm a Jersey girl!

I live in Burlington County, but I work in Trenton...not *too* far from Edison. I've shopped at the Whole Foods in Lawrenceville before. HUUUUGGGGEEEE store!

I live in Burlington County, too! I have been to the Whole Foods in L'ville--it is huge. I normally go to the one in Marlton--it's smaller, but they're doing renovations on it now.

I"m actually finding that everything I need I can get at Wegmans. A new one opened up in Mt Laurel a few months ago, and it's great! I even get my hair and skin care products there. I love their produce dept--lots of organic.

I'll be there tonight! :D

I've been there too, but have only found a small selection. I have a friend with celiac who offered to go there with me to show me where everything is, so I'm going to take her up on that.

I haven't been concerned about beauty products, mostly because I don't know what to look for! I've given up on that for now. Anyone know where there's a GOOD COMPREHENSIVE list of what's ok and what to avoid specifically in beauty products?

Yeah Jersey!

I'm living in Deptford right now. I see a nutrionist in Moorestown and always visit the Wegman's there, which is literally across the street! I swear, everytime I go to that Wegmans, I meet someone with Celiac and end up having a 20 minute conversation!

Ha--My GI is right around the corner--on Midlantic Dr! My GP is down the street--where Main St. meets Marter Ave. I only live 15 minutes up Rte 295 from there. Small world :D

I'll be at Wegman's either tomorrow afternoon or Sunday. Have to get my organic bananas :lol:

BTW, my husband works in Moorestown :)

Mythreesuns--check out the "Natural Marketplace" section the next time you're at Wegman's. They have tons of things for us. I don't eat much processed foods, but I get my Spectrum Organic Shortening, Ener-g Potato Starch and my Zia and California Baby stuff there. They also carry Badger Balm--great lip products and the whole line is gluten-free!

Though I don't use them, I've seen Glutino, Bob's Red Mill, Pamelas, Gluten Free Pantry, Amy's, and many other brands there.

We should all get together sometime!

Or even better, you all can come eat at the Ouback in Deptford (where I work) and request me as your server and I will personally make sure your meal is prepared properly! Beware though, I will probably deliver your Chocolate Thunder to the table with a big bite out of it ;)

Yes, Union NJ.

I know Edison/Metuchen/Woodbridge area somewhat. I sometimes go to Woodbridge Center or Menlo Park. I am trying to get Whole Foods to put a location in the Clark area as there are none in all of Union and Middlesex counties. Woodbridge/Edison would be too close to Wegman's.

Isn't there a Whole Foods up there by Westfield? I went there one time. Now I go to the one in Princeton.

It's pretty close to Wild Oats.

I live by Menlo Park. I go to those malls all the time! Yeah! We should get together sometime. I like Outback.

Whole Foods is in Millburn

Trader Joe is in Westfield and it's a tiny store and I was not impressed.

Hi everyone! I'm recently diagnosed and live in Yardley, PA (just across the Delaware from Trenton). I work in Middlesex County, though, so I frequent the Whole Foods on Rte 1 in L-ville. It's been a dream come true for me. My hematologist & GI are in Langhorne, PA. There's a great Italian restaurant in Yardley's Big Oak Shopping Center called Carlucchi's. They have many gluten-free choices on their menu and are willing to accomodate requests. If you're ever up this way, it's worth a stop.

ANyway, it's nice to know that I'm not alone. If you ever do plan a night at Outback, count me in. I've never been there, but now that I know they're celiac-friendly I really want to check them out!

Regards! :)

I live in Maryland wit my almost 18 year old son (who doesn't need me anymore - so you might as well say I live alone).

I have relatives that live in Hamilton, Ewing and Lawrenceville. I only get to visit them about once a year, but they take me all over the place to buy gluten free food. They take me to Wegman's, a small health food store that has a lot of gluten free stuff, and a farmer's market that has a gluten free store (The owner's wife has Celiac). This area of New Jersey as so much to offer us. :)

Between my relatives and you guys in NJ, you're making me wonder why I'm still here in MD by myself.

Cindy

P.S. Charlie Brown's has a gluten free menu!

Certainly I am a little late for your Celiacs Picnic as it is 1/3/08 now...however, I am curious if this is a yearly thing as my Wife has Celiacs and I am sure she would love to partacke in such an event as we also live in NJ.

      Gluten migranes at night

      How did your doctor arrive at the gluten intolerance diagnosis? You may want to consider finding a different doctor, one who is more familiar with Celiac disease. To be properly tested you will be asked to undergo a gluten challenge. I'm attaching an article below. Also consider getting a DNA test to look for the genes needed for Celiac disease...

      Guidance on next steps after the lab tests

      @ABP2025, Have you thought about having a DNA test to check for known Celiac genes? I do hope you will make sure that you are getting sufficient gluten to provoke an autoimmune response strong enough that the antibodies can be measured in the blood. See article below. Celiac disease affects the absorption of nutrients, including vitamins...

      Night time migranes

      Anybody ever heard of getting a migrane from gluten and coconut oil ONLY at night? If I consume gluten or coconut oil, even in the morning, I will get a migrane. But not until half way thru the night. I don't get this. Why at night? Why not right after I eat?

      Gluten migranes at night

      Thank you for that information. I had no idea about that. I have not been diagnosed with Celiac the Dr says I have gluten intolerance. I don't have any symptoms other than migranes from gluten and from coconut oil. I hate the medicine they gave me for migranes. It makes my blood pressure go up, is a diaretic so I am up all night then feel dehydrated the...

      What should I do with these test results?

      Early on, DQ2 and DQ8 were the primary genes that have been connected to the potential to develop celiac genes but more recent genetic research suggests there may be more.

      @ABP2025, Have you thought about having a DNA test to check for known Celiac genes?    I do hope you will make sure that you are getting sufficient gluten to provoke an autoimmune response strong enough that the antibodies can be measured in the blood.  See article below. Celiac disease affects the absorption of nutrients,  including vitamins and minerals.  Your symptoms may be associated with thiamine deficiency.   Migraines and peripheral neuropathy, phimosis (yes, even this), and white spots on the brain are seen in thiamine deficiency.  Celiac disease disrupts the absorption of all the essential nutrients, but thiamine can be quickly depleted, in as little as three days.  Thiamine deficiency can occur even if blood tests show normal levels.  Thiamine deficiency can affect antibody production.

      After I get the endoscopy done, I’ll try to be in gluten-free diet even if I test negative for celiac disease or NCGS to avoid any complications. It does suck because I love wheat breads and Indian breads like rotis and naans, lol. I guess I have to jump to gluten-free options for those. Again, thanks for all your help.
