I just moved to Marshall, MN. from the Twin Cities. I am not finding much luck with gluten-free foods. Anyone from here or live here? I'll make with what I can, but may have to load up on gluten-free food when I'm back in the cities. I'm so disappointed! Any ideas?

I googled out of curiosity and found this: "Katie Baier, RD, LD. Avera Marshall Regional Medical Center. Marshall Hy-Vee. 900 E. Main Street, Marshall, Minnesota 56258. 507-532-2247. kbaier@hy-vee.com. Katie offers gluten-free shopping tours, as well as personal shopping assistance to customers looking for gluten-free products and recipes."

at Open Original Shared Link

These sorts of lists are almost never up-to-date, but the fact that the local Hy-Vee employs or at one time employed a dietitian (or at least gave her an email address) seems like a promising sign.

My own recommendation for small-town living is to go the whole foods route (meats, vegetables, taters and rice) and not worry about foods specifically labeled gluten-free. Or befriend the Hy-Vee manager and ask him/her to order what you need.

Also also, people seem to be having good experiences with Wal-mart lately. Go figure.

I totally missed your response way back in late August. I'm sorry! Thanks so, so much for the information. I have come to terms that I may need to just stick with whole foods. I'm o.k. with that. My sister recently sent me a package from the Twin Cities filled with gluten-free bakery goodies. :) Isn't she the best? I just started shopping at Walmart because I was told all of their name brands will say gluten-free on it if it is. That saves so much hassle when shopping, so Walmart and I are getting friendly. :) Back in September I checked out HY-VEE website and they had a document specifically for gluten free people and it listed all of their items that were gluten free in their store. Awesome, huh? Even though I miss the wide-range of choices in the Twin Cities, I know I am good hands afterall. Thanks for the information. I am going to contact Katie. Never hurts to get more information to make the process easier.

I visited Marshall recently and found a very accomodating restaurant called, "The Hitching Post." I mentioned my gluten sensitivity to the waitor, and he said, "Say no more." He knew exactly what I needed...No buns! He was even so kind as to take a picture of my friend and I at the table. It was a very memorable experience.

      Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?

      Hi Kitty, thank you for your e mail, I have seen a nutritionist who seemed to be happy with the food diary I had been keeping and nothing was mentioned about extra vitamins, and I’m still using milk etc . The steroids seem to be working and everything is functioning as it should however, the course of tablets finish at the end of February and I...

      Being a burden to family/friends

      It might be understandable to say "friends or family weeded me or you out of their lives". Some people are fearful of getting out of their comfortable known lives and having to make changes to accommodate another. If they are too uncomfortable to walk a mile with me, I shake the dust off my feet and journey on. They're just not ready to learn that lesson...

      I’m so confused…

      You might also be sensitive to other things while you are healing. Dairy, for example. It won't harm you from a celiac standpoint but is inflammatory and could be bothering you. Have you been keeping a food & symptom journal? Might be worth it for a week to see if you notice something you are eating prior to the times you feel your worst. I hope you start...

      Recipe Apps?

      Someone recently recommended Superfoods for looking up recipes free of allergens or intolerances. It's a web site but there's also an app.

      Hi Kitty, thank you for your e mail,  I have seen a nutritionist who seemed to be happy with the food diary I had been keeping and nothing was mentioned about extra vitamins, and I’m still using milk etc . The steroids seem to be working and everything is functioning as it should however,  the course of tablets finish at the end of February and I have an appointment with the consultant early April probably followed by another endoscopy, as far as I’m aware I have not been tested for vitamin B and will definitely discuss it with the doctor on my next visit.
