Let me first say thank you to the people who wrote information about upstate New
York.  I didn't get many responses so I did some research myself through my
trusty local phone book and will be adding what I have found as well.  It has
taken me a while to respond because I wanted to actually go to some of these
places to say if it is really worth the drive.  So here it goes.

Health Food Stores
In Lathem, Ny
Health Way:  By far the best one out of the bunch.  Carries the most variety and
the most gluten free products in general.

Clifton Park,Ny
Green Grocher

Basic Foods off of Route 50

I would also like to note that the local grocery stores carry some gluten free
items as well.  Price chopper and Hannaford both had gluten free items
available.  Price chopper has more.  They had pastas, microwave meals, cookies,
ect.  Not as much variety as the health food stores but I was surprised to see
anything at all.

Doctors recommended:
Nutritionist:
Karen Anderson
