Gluten-free living in Tacoma
Posted by

The bloggers at Tacoma Mama have alerted their readers to a support group for people who are gluten intolerant. Known as celiac disease, this affliction prevents people from eating wheat and other grains that contain gluten. Marlene’s Market and Deli at 2951 S. 38th street has stepped up to offer gluten-free baked goods and other grocery items. If you’re visiting Tacoma, let me know if you have these dietary needs and I’ll help you get pointed in the right direction. If you’re going anywhere else in the world, check out the Celiac Chicks who travel the world looking for celiac-friendly dining experiences and who make being gluten-intolerant look downright fun. If you live here, drop me a line and let me know about other grocery stores or restaurants that offer gluten-free alternatives. I’ll be sure to add your suggestions to this blog.
Cheers,
Dale

Marlene’s market is an awesome place to get gluten free goods. Also, trader joes offers gluten free bread and other options.
the farmers market is out for the season right? If not, there is a gluten-free vendor there too!
Interesting topic. I bet we could go a lot farther with this. Look forward to a gluten-free post from In-tacoma…
Roxanne,
Thanks for the post. If you have anymore suggestions send them our way. We’ll make sure to get them up.
Best wishes,

Dale, We have a Gluten free dinner and lunch menu here at Woody’s on the Water. We have gluten free brownies for dessert and gluten free beer for relaxing on the waterfront. Check out our web site that lists our menus.
If you live in the Tumwater/Lacey/Olympia area, theres a new store called Gluten Free Joe’s. It’s a little market that is completely dedicated to gluten free products. I must say, most of these products can be found at Fredmeyer’s or Marlene’s Market; so if you don’t live in that area, it’s not worth the trip.
