What happened to Good Graces? How to get delivered?

I've several times ordered Good Graces products for my GF wife. The website is now gone and redirects to Hy-Vee, but I can't order through their website for delivery to me in TN as it can't find a local store. Did Good Graces get bought by Hy-Vee? Is there any way to get the products shipped elsewhere? I can't find them anywhere else any more (they used to be on Amazon too).

No Accommodations

I (18f) have severe gluten intolerance but many places (including my high school, I'm a senior) won't accommodate for this because I haven't been diagnosed with Celiac disease but they have accommodated to my lactose intolerance even without a doctors not or a specific diagnosis. I was wondering if anyone had similar struggles and any advice? My doctor has diagnosed me with both gluten intolerance and lactose intolerance and I have a bunch of symptoms that are explained by both things so I know this isn't just some hunch made by myself. This has been a struggle since we first found out gluten was making me sick at 16.

beware of free samples (learn from my mistakes)

okay so i wasnt sure if i was going to post about this but after thinking about it for a few days i really think its worth mentioning considering the season. this may be a no-brainer to some, but for those like me who went gluten free fairly recently, or are super sensitive to CC, please heed my warning: DO NOT TRY ANY FREE SAMPLES WITHOUT READING THE INGREDIENTS FIRST!!!

i was at the mall doing christmas shopping on Friday with my boyfriend. i am extremely strict gluten free as i have a severe intolerance and small amounts seem to set me off. there were a lot of different boutiques and one of them was selling hot sauce and giving free samples so my boyfriend went over to try.

when i went to join him i initially declined because i wasnt sure of what was in it or if itd bother me. my boyfriend asked if it was gluten free and the seller said yes, all of them were 100% gluten free. she even offered me a plastic spoon instead of a corn chip to try to avoid cross contamination. this is where i was an absolute dumbass and trusted her word without asking to check the ingredients.

i tried it and it was great and ended up buying a bottle for my brother of the same one i tried. when i got home i looked through the ingredients and found a big old CONTAINS WHEAT right on the back šŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø thankfully i only had a small dab but even that was enough to destroy my stomach yesterday morning and have me spending almost a full 30 minutes in the bathroom at work.

do i think this was a malicious attempt at more sales? no not at all. but, non-gf people rarely understand the importance of this kind of stuff so please just dont be dumb like me and trust your gut, ask for ingredients, and say no if you canā€™t be sure.

Gluten free diets

Hey guys, Iā€™ve recently gone gluten free since I noticed I had problems after eating it (increased heart rate, exhaustion) however, Iā€™m struggling to think of some breakfast meals since I live in a country where bread is eaten with everything šŸ˜‚. I donā€™t wanna pay for gluten free bread every day because itā€™s expensive for my standards.

So would anyone be kind enough to share what gluten free breakfasts they have in the morning?

Being GF and Anemic is taking a toll on me

Hi all, Iā€™m hoping I can get some ideas or advice on how to navigate being gluten free (non celiac) while also struggling with anemia.

Iā€™m finding it hard to eat iron-rich foods, and I am somewhat of a picky eater which doesnā€™t help. I struggle to find recipes for meals that I know Iā€™ll like. Iā€™m also a grad student and my days are packed full of work, and I hate using ā€œIā€™m too busy to cookā€ as an excuse but itā€™s honestly the truth for me during this time as Iā€™m in my last year. I did get an iron infusion back in September, but I can feel my anemia effects kicking in more often and really want to try again and eat more iron etc.

Iā€™ve considered seeing a dietitian or nutritionist or something just to help me come up with ideas and a plan and ways that I can make healthy yet, filling meals that are gluten free and rich in iron. Iā€™m also recovering from binge eating, so Iā€™m interested in eating more healthy foods etc and something Iā€™d like to be better at as well.

Does anyone have any suggestions for recipes, managing cooking while being a busy person, etc. or would it just be best for me to see a professional??

Any suggestions or advice is welcome!! I just get very stressed out about food now and itā€™s been very overwhelming for me trying to look up meal plans and ideas šŸ„²šŸ˜­

adding this edit in quick but I do take an iron supplement 3x a week

Does this sound like possible gluten intolerance?

Hello! Iā€™ve been struggling the past week with headaches, lightheadedness, nausea, and intense stomach cramping. It all started when I went to a cafe for a cup of potato soup and a large chunk of bread. Probably 30 or so minutes after eating I started to have very intense and painful stomach cramping. I had 2 bowel movements and felt better. The rest of the week Iā€™ve been having cream of wheat for breakfast, which I havenā€™t ate in probably a year, and Iā€™ve been having terrible headaches, slight nausea, and lightheadedness the past few days. Also, with Thanksgiving, Iā€™ve eaten a lot more gluten than normal.

I have had the celiac blood test twice in the past 6 months and it has never been positive šŸ¤·šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø

Symptoms

Sister was diagnosed with celiac, waiting to get blood tests to confirm for myself and mother. Been having digestion problems for like two years now. Was wondering if anyone else diagnosed had any of the same troubles as me, just feels good to confirm similar experiences. Main symptoms for is burping so much like whatever I ate, flatulence more than I was used to, trouble with bathroom can't go or need to go quickly, varying stomach pain after most food mostly lower but starting to get upper, sleeping too much/not enough, fatigue. I know these might seem vague as there's lots of different problems that could fit but just wanted to see if anyone could relate at all.

Gluten free restaurant

Just went to a totally g/free restaurant, shout out to Eds in Hastings. All menu is g/f with food so good that everyone will enjoy it gluten free or not. Such a nice change to pick from the whole menu. This is in Hastings in Victoria and they say they have the best g/f fried chicken in the universe, big call I know but can't wait to try it!
