Unethical Practice? Gluten Free Palace

My wife went online and ordered about $200 worth of BiAglut pasta from Gluten Free Palace last night.

They held the money on the card and then sends her an email stating that they are closed until October 10th in observance of holiday.

No where on their website does it state they are closed, and no mention of it until after the order was placed via email.

We could not even cancel the order stating it was already being processed. Tried calling them and get the answering machine they are closed until October 10th.

Called the CC company to get the charges removed but if they are going to be closed and not processing orders for 11 days they should have a notification on their website before having people place orders, especially for food stuffs which are time sensitive and then telling you after the fact they are not open.

If you get no response from the company, contact the Better Business Bureau. Using a holiday as an excuse to be closed for more than a week sounds fishy.

Since the brick & mortar store is in Brooklyn, you might try the BBB in NY.

Maybe its a small company and they are taking a vacation? Would have made sense to put that in big letters on thier home page.

If they have an actual store, maybe its still open? You could call them?

It is Sukkot, so if they are stricter Jews (not sure I said that right), it is hard to have a business during this time.

I'm pretty sure its for the Jewish holiday.

They are free to close as they please but they should have at least put it on their website BEFORE you order that your product will not ship for 11 days after placing the order.

It must be for a certain sect of Jew's because the next thing I did was called a few of our Jewish customers we had scheduled for work this week and wanted to verify they would be in and had no idea what I was talking about not working.

We are middle of moving so we ordered early enough so that we thought it show at the new address before we moved to the new.

      How many people here are aware that there are 9 types of gluten that Celiacs should be aware of?

      By Bebygirl01 · Posted

      Perhaps you would still like to answer the questions I posed on this topic, because that is all I asked. I am curious to know the answers to those questions, I do not care about the background of Dr. Osborne as I am more aware of the situation than you are, and he is also one of the best known authors out there on Celiac disease. But did you even bother to read the three Research Papers I posted by NIH? You must be one of those who are only gluten intolerant and not yet reacting to all glutens aka grains, but I AM one of those who react to ALL the glutens, and again, that is one of the two questions I originally posted on this matter. NIH sees all these grains as in opposition to celiacs, of which I am one and that is science, not any MD with a good memory who overprescribes medications that contain known food allergens in them, of which they have zero knowledge if the patient is in fact allergic to or not, since they failed to do simple 'food sensitivity' testing. I started with the failed FDA explanation of what Gluten Free is and I stayed sick and got even sicker. It wasn't until I came across NIH's papers and went off all grains that I realized that in fact, I am Celiac and reacting to all the glutens. IF a person wants to get well, they should be the one to determine what grains they are allergic to and what grains they want to leave out, not you. Those who are just getting started with learning about grains etc., can take it easy by just being "grain free' and eating a lot of meat, vegetables, etc. or whole foods as God has intended, without buying so called gluten free garbage out there that is making them sick and the whole reason they are not better. I tried the stupid gluten free garbage and it didn't work, and that will make anyone want to give up, it is better to teach the entire truth and let the patient decide, rather than give them misinformation and lies.

      I was born with celiac disease im 20 years old. And I've been gluten free my whole life. Yes my diet is 100 percent gluten free and no i don't eat at restaurants at all. I got glutened by a chips that was marked as gluten free but it wasn't the company said the packaging was old and the recipe was new.

      Welcome to the forum, the biggest source of cross-contamination would be eating our in restaurants--even ones that have a gluten-free menu. If your son was just recently diagnosed I'd recommend trying not to eat out during his healing period, which could last up to a year or more, depending on how much villi damage he had.
