MarketplaceGluten-Free Grocery opens in WestchesterShop caters to those with celiac diseaseBy Susan Taylor Special to the Tribune May 21, 2008 Cindy Erwin was tired of having to shop at numerous stores to find gluten-free items. So Erwin, who has celiac disease and cannot eat gluten, opened Gluten-Free Grocery, a 1,400-square-foot storefront in west suburban Westchester. "We're carrying strictly products that serve as substitutions for products that have gluten in them," Erwin said. (Thus, you won't find produce or dairy items here because they are naturally gluten-free and readily sold elsewhere.) While many grocery chains might carry a few items from brands specializing in gluten-free food, Erwin sells a fuller line of products such as cookies, crackers, cake mixes, cereals and pastas from brands including as The Cravings Place, Pamela's Products Gluten-Free Pantry, Glutino, Enjoy Life, Bob's Red Mill and Kinnikinnick.

What would you do in the event of a natural disaster such as flood, earthquake or other natural disaster? Keep in mind that in a disaster you may not have personal transporation. You may also lack monetary resources or not be able to return to your home for days or weeks. Once allowed back into your home, you will be cleaning you in an unsanitary enviroment. The electricity may be off, or you may lack running water. The free meals dropped off at disaster sites usually contain gluten in them. List of ideas you may want to consider: 1) Create a food emergency kit and store in up HIGH in a temperature place, like the upper shelf of a coat closet near your most used door. 2) The kit should be small enough, and light enough, that with food you are able to carry it a good distance. A knapsack or small, light rolling duffle are some ideas. 3) Inexpensive plastic pencil box (new, not used) to store plastic utensils, a paring knife, and a can opener. A box of disinfectant wupes or hand cleaner
