gluten-free Bread Basket

I just got an email saying that this wonderful bakery in my area is closing their doors on Saturday!

I called my father into the room and made him read the email as well, I really hoped I was somehow reading the email wrong. But unfortunately, unless I'm stuck in a bad dream, it's true, this bakery is down to their final hours. This news makes me very sad. This was the first gluten-free store I went to (my mom took me on the way home from my endoscopy!)...

December 28, 2006

Dear Gluten Free Bread Basket Customer,

We regret to inform you that as of Saturday, December 30th, 2006 the Gluten Free Bread Basket

will be closing.

For the past year and a half we have enjoyed creating and serving our fresh gluten free baked

products for you. Our decision to close was a very difficult one to make but one that has

become necessary.

Our original vision was to create a bakery with fresh-baked gluten free breads, cakes, cookies

and more. We have delivered on this vision and this has truly been a labor of love. As we do

not use any commercially available mixes and prepare all of our recipes ourselves from scratch,

the process to create the best gluten free products is a very labor intensive one.

Unfortunately, the intense hours and labor involved have begun to take a toll on ourselves and

our family life. It is with this in mind, that we have made the decision to close the bakery.

If we cannot serve our customers as well as we would like, then we feel it is in the best interest

of the business to bring it to a close.

We have enjoyed meeting the many of you who have been able to travel and come to our shop.

We have come to know so many of you personally and we will miss serving you.

We are open for business Thursday December 28 through Saturday, December 30

As a farewell gift to you, we will be having a sale on all our gluten-free packaged products.

All packaged products (pasta, cereals, pretzels, etc) will be discounted 20% during this time.

We will not be taking any orders for shipping during these final days.

Thank you for supporting our bakery. We hope we will get a chance to see you before Saturday

to help you stock up on our breads and other baked goods. And, of course, to say a proper good-bye.

Best wishes,

Kathy Iozzino & Marisa Frederick

I'm so sad. I got an email today saying The Gluten Free Breadbasket is closing as of this Saturday (Dec. 30th). I absolutely loved their bread. I can eat it without toasting it. I don't know what I'm going to do. Their bread changed my life.

Oh No!!! Do you know what their hours are F/S? I think I'll have to make a trip up there to stock up! (Have you gone yet?- do they have much left?)

I went this afternoon (around 3PM); they didn't have too much left in the way of baked goods; I saw a couple packages of dinner rolls, some pizza crusts, a bunch of ginger snap cookies, and a couple carrot muffins (which, I have to say, were very good!). They did, however, have a lot of packaged goods (cereals, pastas, and granola bars) left. All the packaged goods are 20% off.

Tomorrow (Saturday) I believe they are open 8AM - 4PM, at least according to their website. It was sad to see the shelves emptying out, I went in there for the first time not long after they opened, and as I was sitting eating my muffin this evening, my dad asked where I'm going to get my bagels, etc. from now. Honestly, I think I'd just rather go without!

Happy New Year, everyone!!!

      Thanks for getting back to us Geordie. From time to time we do get reports of what seems like remission from those who have been diagnosed with celiac disease but it doesn't always last. I don't recall you saying you have been diagnosed with celiac disease, but just having various food intolerances and also implying in your last post that these intolerances are autoimmune related. So, I don't know where you are with celiac disease which is an autoimmune disorder.

      Update: Just realised i never updated this post with a major development. since May 2023 i can now eat whatever i want 7 days a week. I accidentally ate the same type of food two days in a row and suffered no reaction so immediately realised my body had recovered. And of all places to discover it i was in a 5 star resort in Greece where there was all you can eat breakfast lunch and dinner buffets so yeah you can maybe imagine i tucked in nicely after so many years of not being able to. Been about 18 months now with zero reactions so even though the modern medical way of thinking is that auto immune disease cant be cured....my stomach says different.

      Thanks.  So something has come up on his blood tests and I have an appointment to discuss the findings on Monday. My son has been soya free and dairy free for a while as we did York food testing to check for allergies intolerances.

      Hi @sh00148 I am so glad that your son is going to have a blood test next week.    If the blood test is that soon, and he has been consuming normal levels of gluten up until now, he should have had enough exposure to gluten to test positive should you decide to stop the gluten immediately, as Scott suggest.  However, one thing you may wish to change in the short term instead/as well is to stop him consuming dairy products.  If he is a coeliac, he may have become temporarily dairy intolerant.  The tips of the villi, which line the gut and are damaged in coeliacs, produce lactase, an enzyme essential for the digestion of dairy.  If they are damaged it can contribute to diarrhea and gas.  I had this some months after my own coeliac diagnosis, and it improved no end when I gave up dairy for a while.  Once on a gluten free diet they heal, and most coeliacs can return to consuming dairy. I would have thought that with those bowel issues in a young child what is happening to him is entirely normal.

      It’s understandable to feel frustrated, especially when you’re managing celiac well but still experiencing new, unexplained symptoms. Many people with celiac notice sensations around the neck and jaw area, even without visible swelling. Sometimes, lymph node sensitivity or a tight feeling in the throat can linger as part of the body’s inflammatory response, even if your thyroid and other tests come back normal. It sounds like you’ve been thorough with testing and have seen multiple specialists, which is great. A few things might be worth considering: for some people with celiac, there can be lingering sensitivities to trace gluten, cross-reactive foods, or even certain environmental factors that can cause persistent inflammation. Since you’ve tried antihistamines and a humidifier, you might want to discuss options like different allergy medications or seeing an ENT specialist if you haven’t already. Some find that supplements (like anti-inflammatory options or probiotics) help support overall inflammation reduction, though you should always check with your doctor first. It’s frustrating when you feel the symptoms without an obvious cause, but trust your instincts—hopefully, with persistence, you’ll find answers and some relief soon.
