They currently

have gluten free/casein free peanut butter chocolate chip cookies

(super rich), and are developing more gluten free offerings. Gluten

free muffin tops have been for sale at the farmer's market for a few

years, as well as fresh coffee, which makes produce shopping more

fun. The farmers market is Sunday, 9am-1pm, at the Mountain View

train station.

The Beehive store, 5807 Winfield in San

, keeps expanding

their gluten free grocery items. Do not miss all of their frozen

gf items in a freezer in the back of the store. For those in the

a great selection also.

Note from Dr. Chrysa Caulfield,

DC ....

I would like to volunteer to be a contact person for Santa .

I have Celiac disease in addition to multiple food allergies. I'm

also a chiropractor and a nutritionist. I would be happy to talk

with newly-diagnosed Celiacs, provide resources, and even go

to the grocery store with them. I also am able to run any lab

tests that they may wish.
