Sweet Christine's Bakery - Kennett Square, Pa

I just returned from a three-day visit to the Brandywine Valley region of southeastern Pennsylvania (near the Delaware border). Sweet Christine's Bakery is on West State Street, the westbound (one-way) main street through Kennett Square, and everything in it is gluten-free! They are primarily a wholesale business, but the bakery is open to walk-in customers Wednesday-Saturday, 10:00-6:00. In addition to cookies, brownies, and cupcakes, they sell pizzas (in two sizes), bagels, and on Fridays and Saturdays--chicken salad and bean salad. There are a few tables for people who want to have lunch right there.

Their website is here: Open Original Shared Link

I highly recommend this bakery!

I'm considering a Labor Day trip to the Brandywine River area. Anyone have any other suggestions for restaurants?

Thanks,

Can't personally vouch for it, but Floga Bistro in Kennett Square, PA has gluten free pizza and pasta.

To help future searches, this applies to the Brandywine Valley area and Wilmington, DE.

Timing was off for a meal at Sweet Christine's but we did have muffins there and they were very good. I also got a pretzel stick to go and had that as a later snack and it was also good.

Pizza By Elizabeth just north of Wilmington was very convenient to the museums we were visiting so we had lunch there two days. The gluten-free crust seemed to be corn based. While I wasn't highly impressed with the crust alone, overall it was great pizza, generous toppings, etc.

For evening meals we stuck with the chains with gluten-free menus (PF Changs and Outback).

For the travel, if you like to tour homes and gardens of the wealthy, there are several owned by members of the Du Pont family in this area north of Wilmington. If you like art similar to N.C. or Andrew Wythe, the Brandywine Art Museum and Delaware Art Musem are good stops.

      TTG IgA and IGA elevated mildy

      By thejayland10 · Posted

      thank you, i have been doing that the last few weeks and will continue to do so. I had not had my ttg iga checked since I was diagnosed 14 yrs ago so I am not sure if they ever dropped below the 15-20 range.    all my other labs are completely normal but I am concerned that this may be signs of refractor celiac or something else since I'm so careful with gluten-free diet

      TTG IgA and IGA elevated mildy

      Around 9% of celiacs cannot tolerate any oats, even gluten-free oats. It might be worth eliminating them for a few months, then get re-tested.

      I only eat certifed gluten-free products but a lot of which are processed. Could there be trace gluten in those or is that very unlikely?

      For people with celiac disease hidden gluten in their diets is the main cause of elevated Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibodies (tTG-IgA), but there are other conditions, including cow's milk/casein intolerance, that can also cause this, and here is an article about the other possible causes (you may want to avoid oats):
