Miller Beer? "What’s made Milwaukee Famous Has Made A Loser Out of Me" need not be your theme song anymore, Milwaukee. Especially since drinking Miller beer will only turn oneself into a villi-killing loser! No, what has really made Milwaukee famous in the gluten-free world is The Gluten Free Trading Company! If you have not yet experienced this "World Without Gluten", now is the time! I had come across the website before and figured it was just another one of your basic online gluten-free products stores. Well, it’s not! I found it to be a great resource that made it easy for me to indulge. They have over 800 items from 17 countries! Whoa! Hold yourself back from rejoicing with a beer! (unless its gluten-free beer and we’ll write about that later) You can shop at their store in person if you can get to, or live, in Milwaukee. The rest of us can use their online order form.
I found so many little gems in their online catalog. I’m officially addicted to the Kelly-friendly (which means not only gluten-free but corn-free) black licorice bars by Allen’s Gourmet Licorice from Canada. I had dreamed of someday finding these! And they’re super good! Very strong stuff (for the true black licorice lover) and the rice flour makes the texture not so licorice-like, but I don’t care! The "Big Break Bar", imported from Germany, is just as good if not better than a Kit Kat bar with its creamy European chocolate! Almost too scary having easy access to these babies … extra self control is needed!
They had lots of other imported items … a few I wanted were out of stock at the time. And I noticed several items that I can get locally, however, I do get tired of having to visit several different stores to get everything I want. It’s nice to do one stop shopping! The Gluten Free Trading Company sends a perfectly packed box that arrives fresh and provides very friendly customer service. (Kim placed a huge order, some items were temporarily unavailable, and she was called back with plenty of helpful suggestions) Anyhow, just wanted to let you know so you could check it out for yourself!
GF BBQ sauce, Nutty Rice cereal, Bragg’s liquid aminos (great soy sauce substitute), rice "krispy" treat, Bumble Bars, dairy and gluten-free chocolate chips, and the Big Break Bar.
I work at a wonderful Gluten Free Store in Mystic, Ct. called the Green Market South. If you’re in the area stop in. The store only has low carb and gluten free food. Lots to choose from. The store is on Rt.1 next to the Inn at Mystic and a short walk from the train station. I am a celiac chick too and I get to talk to the customers who have just been diagnosed and help them with suggestions, products, recipes and information. I posted your web site at the store. Hope to see you sometime.
Does anyone know anything about a Gluten Free Bakery in Hayward WI?
I am a new celiac chick. I made a trip to the GlutenFree Trading Comapny in Milwaukee. Not only fo they have wonderful foods without worry, but the staff is very friendly, helpful and had great suggestions.
My mom is coming to visit in a few weeks and a trip to this store is on our list! She is Colorado and was diagnosed a Celiac’s over a year or so ago. She is excited about checking out the Trading Co.
