Default low carb store in Mass. or NH?

Until very recently, we were fortunate to have a low-carb (and
low-gluten) shop in Danvers, Mass. I went there a few weeks ago
to stock up and was appalled to see that they were going out of
business and had already been stripped pretty bare. So, are there
ANY low-carb stores left in Massachusetts (preferably north and/or
west of Boston) or in Southern NH? Or am I back to scrounging
around? (I never liked ordering things online, but I suspect I
will have to do that. Heck, I can barely find erythritol, let
alone any other specialized substances.) Yes, I could search, but
my experience has been that shops that have been closed for even
15 years still come up in searches, so that isn't a very efficient
approach.

Thanks,

Jean B.

I don't know exactly what you mean by "specialized substances," but
you should be able to find erythritol, xylitol, etc. at Whole Foods or
Trader Joe's in Boston. Of course, Amazon.com is a great source for
items like that, too.

Frankly, I don't trust most sources of manufactured "low-carb" foods,
and prefer to cook/make my own. Yeah, it can be a hassle at times, but
at least I know exactly what I'm eating. Like Susan, I avoid "diet
stores" like the plaque.

I'm surprised a low-carb store had made it this far. My local store closed
years ago.

The best low carb foods are not made-for-low-carb stuff.

I THINK I have looked at Trader Joe's and KNOW I have looked at
several locations of Whole Foods. The latter did carry erythritol
for a while but seems to have abandoned it some time ago.

Well, yes, that's one reason why I want erythritol. I am speaking
of getting some of the special resistant flours, so I can put
together my own "flour" mixture. Also, for many purposes, it is
best to use more than one type of AS when one is cooking. (I find
that is particularly true if one is dealing with sour or bitter
foods.) I really want some basic things, not baking mixes, etc., etc.

Yes, we were lucky, and I was not the least bit surprised that
they closed--beyond the momentary shock when I discovered that.

I have toyed with LC baking, especially, in the past. (What can I
say, I kind-of like the challenge.) However, I really am
concentrating on vegetable and fruits (minus the especially carby
ones of each) in addition to protein, etc.

What is a "resistant flour"? And Joseph's pita breads contain wheat,
right?

Have you ever tried almond and/or coconut flours? They make for some
great tasting "breads."

And then there's always "meatza."

I wonder if it's like Dreamfields pasta that claim they are not well
digested? Not that I think such claims work in actual humans.

Heavy and delicious breads. Something I've considered but not tried is
mixing bran into nut flours in the hopes of ending up with something
slightly lighter.

I local family run chain near me does these. Love it.

Or like Carbalose flour that's the basis for Carbquik,
which is fairly widely used by LC folks. I think they say
they remove the non-fiber carbs, but exactly how, what
it is, how it may get metabolized isn't clear.

If you *must* use resistant flour, make sure to use a glucometer to
test to see how you react. Some products that have been advertised as
effectively low carb have been shown to spike blood sugar at least in
some people.

Better to eat enough saturated fat that you are not tempted.
