I am expecting to move to Cape Cod in the very near future, and am wondering of any one out there can recommend a good store, bakery, restaurants etc?

This will be a huge adventure, and anything we can have in place before hand would be a HUGE load off my mind.

Thanks all.

Hi Ryan!!! How have you been??? Busy, I guess, since you've got a big move ahead of you!!!

I have no answers for you, but Bev (Mtndog) visits there, I bet she might have some info for you.

Good luck with the move. Drop in on the silly thread!! (Edit: Aaaaaaa . . . I see you've already been there :P )

Hi Ryan and an early welcome to the US!

Janet beat me to it. Bev (Mtndog) is familiar with those parts. Cape Cod, a hardship post, no doubt :P . Boston Center?

Ryan!! How exciting. I'm sure Bev, among others, will pop in with the gluten-free scoop on the Cape.

Belated Happy Birthday, too :D

Hi Ryan, for the bakery stuff, there is a bakery called good juju bakery. the website is www.goodjujubakery.com

the lady who owns it is judith mann, a nurse and celiac as well. she sells her stuff in tons of stores down there and she also has it delivered to your house. I have never had anything bad from there. you can look on her website and it tells you what stores she sells. her cupcakes are to die for. also there is a place called bz mexican pizzeria

Open Original Shared Link the first time i went there i ordered two pizza's because i couldn't decide and it reheats really well, they actually get their pizza crust from good juju bakery. then you have your regular standard rest, like outback etc. good luck, make sure you try the pizza....

Oh Ryan- So excited for you! Just in time for spring/summer- most beautiful place around! Do you know what town on the Cape?

Finallydiagnosed said exactly what I was going to say- BZ's Pizza. People literally call and order like 10 pizzas to bring home and freeze. They also have Mexican food. And on the next street corner is a health food store (Dennisport) that has a lot of gluten-free items.

Pizzeria Uno (a chain) now has gluten-free pizza too.

Depending on where you are moving, I may have some other suggestions.

Shaw's supermarket (I think there's one mid-Cape and another in Falmouth) usually has gluten-free food in their health-food/organic section.

Let me know what else you need! The Cape will be great!

      Weak positive blood test and marsh type 1

      By trents · Posted

      You are welcome! We frequently get similar comments. Knowledge about celiac disease in the medical community at large is, unfortunately, still significantly lacking. Sometimes docs give what are obviously bum steers or just fail to give any steering at all and leave their patients just hanging out there on a limb. GI docs seem to have better knowledge but typically fail to be helpful when it comes to things like assisting their patients in grasping how to get started on gluten free eating. The other thing that, to me at least, seems to be coming to the forefront are the "tweener" cases where someone seems to be on the cusp of developing celiac disease but kind of crossing back and forth over that line. Their testing is inconsistent and inconclusive and their symptoms may come and go. We like to think in definite categorical terms but real life isn't always that way.

      How to navigate living with dermatitis herpetiformis

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      Hey @Morgan Tiernan, Sounds just like my experience. I was diagnosed with dermatitis herpetiformis over 10 years ago. It appeared suddenly as a very itchy rash which looked like Eczema. When a steroid cream didn't clear it up, my Dermatologist (who had come across it before) suspected dermatitis herpetiformis and performed a skin biopsy which came back positive for dermatitis herpetiformis. The important thing is to get a definitive diagnosis of dermatitis herpetiformis. What you've described sounds like classic dermatitis herpetiformis though. Hopefully, your Dermatologist has come across dermatitis herpetiformis before and performs the skin biopsy correctly as trents mentioned. I've had the blisters on the knees, hips, forearms/elbows or anywhere that pressure is applied to the skin ... from clothing or otherwise. They itch like nothing on earth, and yes salt from sweat or soaps/shower gels will irritate a lot. I've been on Dapsone and it is very very effective at eliminating the dermatitis herpetiformis itch, and improved my quality of life in the early stages of getting on top of dermatitis herpetiformis while I adjusted to the gluten-free diet. But it does have various side effects as trents said. It can effect the red blood cells, lowering hemoglobin and can cause anemia, and requires regular blood monitoring whilst on it. You would need to consider it carefully with your Dermatologist if you do have dermatitis herpetiformis. Here's a very informative webinar from Coeliac Canada discussing everything dermatitis herpetiformis related.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAdmsNiyfOw I've also found this recent interview with a Dermatologist about dermatitis herpetiformis to be educational.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZnLeKutgUY Keep the chin up and keep advocating for yourself for a proper diagnosis. Though it sounds like you're on top of that already. Are you in the UK or Ireland? I'm curious because your surname is Irish.

      I would go for four weeks to ensure a valid test, if you can tolerate it, that is.
