Gluten Free Baked Goods Business

Hi,

I am a celiac who loves to bake! I have experimented with a number of different flours and baked goods with mixed results, but have adapted many recipes that I love, to taste just as good with-out gluten products. I am interested in possibly developing a business out of my love of baking and the lack of tasty products available.

I have a business background, but have been away from the business world for a while. Does anyone have tips or pointers on how to go about starting such a business?

Many thanks.

hi debb,

i'm also in a small gluten-free baked goods business.

first, i started with word of mouth - friends and family and the local chapter, and so on.

my sister is a pastry chef, and together we do allergen free in a dedicated kitchen baking and cooking (my kitchen), and non-allergen free with her stuff in her kitchen (so no cross-contamination). We do small catering events, as well as farmer's markets.

Some places require a license to do allergen free stuff. My city does.

I also sell them at local health food stores (privately owned ones).

All of this is more cost efficient than actually opening up a business. I hope that helps! Remember to write things off if you can :)

You don't happen to live in Western Washington do you? I'd love to find a business partner and do something like this. Sorry I don't have any pointers for you, but I want to encourage you to go for it!

Thanks for the advice, I live in Western NY. It seems as though there might be a niche market here, there is so little available that tastes good, and it really is possible!

I'm from WNY - where are you located?

I just wanted to wish you well! We have a Celiac baker near us... and I don't know what I'd do without her. I'm so NOT good in the kitchen... at least, not with baked goods!

      Hi everyone I'm James, I hope you are all feeling well??. Accidentally had gluten at weekend and I've had severe diarrhea since sat night. My question is ,the longer someone like myself has been following a strict gluten-free diet will the exposure to gluten be lot more extreme as body now has been free of it well over a year ? Any information be much appreciated and any tips on how to stop the constant diarrhoea I have currently also be appreciated guys x

      I use Listerine.  Rinse first to soften the tarter, then brush with Oral B electric toothbrush super sonic.  The $15 ones at the supermarket.  At 73 I still have all my teeth.  While a blood test can measure iodine levels, it's not the most accurate method for assessing iodine status, and urinary iodine excretion is considered a better indicator.  Have any of your dermatologists ever done a biopsy for dermatitis herpetiformis?  I may have missed it.  Note the similarity of Casal's necklace to one of your symptoms. Pellagra rash is a characteristic skin manifestation of niacin (vitamin B3) deficiency. It typically presents as:  Erythema: Red, sunburned-like areas of skin, often on the face, neck, arms, and legs.  Scaliness: Dry, flaky skin that may become thickened and crusty.  Hyperpigmentation: Darkened patches of skin, particularly in sun-exposed areas.  Casal's necklace: A dark, pigmented band around the neck.  I am currently taking these} Vitamin D 10,000 IU (250 mcg) DHEA 100 mg 500 mcg Iodine  10 drops of Liquid Iodine B1 Thiamin 250 mg  B2 Riboflavin 100 mg B3 Nicotinic Acid 500 mg 4 times a day for hyperlipidemia. B5 Pantothenice Acid 500 mg Vitamin C 500 mg     Selenium 200 mcg  Several times a week

      I will. Thanks. I did just have mg B12 drawn. I should also state that I am already taking a Vit D supplement, as I live in the US in New England sand just about everyone who lives here is deficient, esp during our winters with less exposure to natural sunlight. I was also taking a chewable bariatric vitamin as well because of my food issues related to my cancer treatment (which was many years ago, but there are long term effects.) I just stopped it because I was unable to get any gluten information about it. And it did contain iodine. Is there even a vitamin that doesn’t? I don’t know, but I will check. I also take Calcium and Magnesium in the form of “Rolaids” for leg cramps/spasms, with good effects. Thanks.
