Madison, WI

[Guest guest]

It looks like and I will be moving to Madison, WI by the middle of

August. We lived there for several years, then moved back to Washington

state to be near my parents for a while but it has been five years and we

very much miss our friends there. So we're headed back. I noticed on

posts to the lists that wholefoods and Kopps were mentioned as stores in

Madison were people had found products and gotten good cooperation; also

saw the post from Madison about going to the store for ener-g bread. I

would like to know if anybody from Madison has been able to get the

following there and in what store: bread (we areusing Kinnikinnick and

will probably continue to do so but it would be nice to know you could get

bread somewhere quickly if you had to do so), margarine (haven't found any

of the acceptable substitutes here so hope I'll have better luck there),

ice cream (using rice dream here though not thrilled with it; can't get

mocha mix here and I am concerned about the soy in it anyway), and hot

cereal (I am ordering Kinnick now and sometimes using Quaker rice cereal

despite the cross-contamination concerns; the Kinnikinnick doesn't do well

in the microwave but the Quaker rice does so am hoping we may find another

alternative in Madison).

Also want to know if anybody has had any success at Woodman's and/or Sams

there. Thanks.

>>So we're headed back.

Good for you! Madison is a great town, and I'm sorry to be leaving here,

but I came for the medicaid, and now I'm moving back to Illinois. My son is

basically recovered, and scores very well on the ATEC - 14 total.

You will love Copps. They are very dedicated to providing foods for this

diet. You can order by the case, or single off the shelf stuff.

Copps sells both Food for Life and Ener-g. Whole Food sells Food For Life.

>>margarine (haven't found any of the acceptable substitutes here so hope

I'll have better luck there),

We use Fleishman's unsalted and can only by it at Woodman's. However, Copps

sells several variety of soy and canola based margarines.

>>> ice cream (using rice dream here though not thrilled with it; can't get

>>> mocha mix here and I am concerned about the soy in it anyway),

mocha mix is big here and can be found in almost all the stores.

I can't help you on that one. My kids don't like hot cereal.

Woodman's does sell a few gluten/casein free foods. I don't know much about

Sam's, I've only shopped there a couple of times.

Here's a list of foods that Copp's sells: Gluten Free Pantry mixes,

cookies, Ener-g Pretzels, Ener-g brownies, donut holes, granola bars,

breads, english muffins, hamburger buns, egg replacer, pizza crusts and

bread crumbs. They will order any product from Ener-g for you, and they

charge very low prices on the stuff. They sell Van's, Tofutti, many variety

of flours, pasta, xanthan gum, guar gum, Spice Island spices, Annie's

dressings, Shelton's and sooooo much more.....You will be quite pleased at

the prices and selection.

Hope that helps. How soon are you moving here? I'm moving to Peoria

Illinois in about two weeks. It's definately a step down, but a step up

from where I was originally from which is Rockford Illinois. My sister

lives in Peoria, so at least I will have family there.
