I think I live near a center on Butler but I am not sure exactly what they do.

I'm in Upper Dublin (Dresher). If you go to www.celiaccentral.org, you'll find info about the center that's based in Ambler. I've been thinking about signing up to volunteer with them since they're right nearby...

Yes, it's not too far from me. I have seen a sign on the door, it's just hidden up some stairs. If you are driving down Butler Pike, it's near the gas station on the corner. I have thought about them too. I heard they do cookouts and I think the support would be awesome.

Genuardis up in Spring house has a few gluten-free items. Mrs. Leeper's makes Hamburger Helpers Wheat and gluten-free. I feel like I live at Whole Foods. They used to have a list which showed each aisle's gluten-free items which they no longer carry. Plus, some of the items in their handbook do have wheat in them. The Energy Bars had them in it and they were on the gluten-free list so be sure to look for gluten-free. Amy's products are awesome and they say gluten-free on them which I love.

I wish Whole Foods would group all the items together. It'd be sooo much easier. I understand these products can be eaten by anyone but searching through the store gets annoying. ;)

Check out the Wegman's in Warrington if you haven't already. It's on 611 at the corner of Street Rd. That store's been a lifesaver for me. They put a "G" on all their store brands to indicate what's gluten free. Makes it really easy and cuts down on cost.

Really? Wegman's has G's on their food items? What have you found good so far?

I love Whole Foods but they can be costly. I feel like I doubled my cost of living lately on food and with 2 kids with hollow legs... I'd love more alternatives.

I love Wegman's- they just are a little further for me.

      For people with celiac disease and corn intolerance from it: Is salt still okay for most people?

      By Ryangf · Posted

      I haven’t had any noticeable reactions to salt so I will continue using it. I think I just freaked out when I realized this but it doesn’t cause me any discomfort- so thanks!

      Abscesses on legs

      By plumbago · Posted

      Ok, thanks. I'm so glad to hear you are in the hands of a dermatologist. I hope he/she has given you 1) a diagnosis; and 2) a plan of care with a couple of options so that you have buy-in and comfort with it. I have some ideas, but not having seen the abscesses or you in person, it doesn't really make sense for me to kind of ... speculate further. But your question was regarding gluten, and you've gotten a couple of other follow up questions and answers that are good, including the idea to keep a food diary. Let us know if we can help further or answer any other questions. I'm sorry you're going through this, it sounds very painful.

      Abscesses on legs

      @plumbago They appear as boils. They are big, like the size of a nickel--quarter, and they hurt when I touch them. I have gone to the same derm for them over and over and she thinks my body is colonized by a bacteria, but even after using hibiclens all over my body they come back.

      Abscesses on legs

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the gluten-free community! It’s great to have you here. While gluten sensitivity or celiac disease can indeed cause skin issues, such as dermatitis herpetiformis (a blistering rash), abscesses in areas like the lower buttocks or thighs are less commonly linked directly to gluten. However, chronic abscesses could be a sign of an underlying immune or inflammatory condition, which might be worth discussing with a healthcare professional. Some people with gluten-related disorders also experience secondary issues like bacterial overgrowth or immune dysregulation, which could potentially contribute to recurrent infections. It’s always a good idea to explore all possible causes, including gluten sensitivity, with your doctor. In the meantime, keeping a food and symptom diary might help identify any patterns. Wishing you the best on your health journey!

      You say you have gluten sensitivity? Have you been officially diagnosed with celiac disease or do you refer to NCGS?
