They have a Gluten Free List on their site of their gluten-free products.

Hi Judyin Philly,

if you look out for a shelf in the Natural Food section. Most Wegman's have their own glutenfree shelf. There's actually a sign hanging from the ceiling that says "glutenfree" over this shelf.

One thing I can absolutely recommen, if you like chocolate. Go to the international section (if you have one in your Wegman's, I always go to the one in State College) and look for "Ritter Sport" chocolate in the german section. Hmmmm! Much much better than Hershey's in my eyes. Hershey's isn't that sweet. Ritter Sport you can really taste the sweetness and it's glutenfree, of course.

Greetings, Stef

Wegmans is the greatest, I am so glad I live near one. It makes shopping so much easier, and more profitable for them, that they mark our safe food with a little orange G. Have fun you'll have lots of choices.

Hi - You are so lucky to have a Wegman's near you!!!

If you go to their website Open Original Shared Link and click on food allergies, there is a whole list of gluten free foods! :D There is a natural food section of the store that will have a lot of gluten-free stuff, and in the freezer section I found Glutino bagels that were wonderful!

Happy shopping. :)

If you go to Food Allergies - Celiac and look at the list, you could print it out (right now it's 28 pages long) ;) , or you could make a list of things you want to look for.

A lot of stuff is in the natural food section, but look around the store - there is a lot to pick from!

There is a Wegmans under construction in South Jersey where I live. It will only be 15 min. away and I can't wait! Should be ready by end of year. My parents have one in Syracuse, NY that they shop at often--my Mom is always telling me about all of the "gluten free foods" that they offer.

Jerseyangel - I was introduced to Wegman's when I was visiting family in New Jersey. The closest one to me (45 minutes away) just opened this month. They say you can't even find a space in the parking lot, it is so crowded.

I'm going to give it a few weeks, and then I am going to shop my heart out! It will be worth the trip. :)

You are so lucky that yours will be that close!

Thanks guys, for all your ideas. We went with the printed list and the customer service manager has celiac disease and she was sooooo helpful as was everyone there.

ONE PROBLEM....got glutten on the 'egg drop soup'. I checked with the chef and he promised it was gluten free. On the drive home throat got tight and I started to itch like crazy. Came home and went to bed for 4 hrs. and then the GI kicked in big time.

I called the next day talked to another chef and she said he was right that it had corn starch BUT also had modified food starch that had WHEAT. The first chef was just so nice and it was a honest mistake but I still paid dearly.

We did get alot of 'snacks' to take on a 6 day vacation and had 3 days to recoop before we left--- thank heavens. We were so hungry on the trip down even my non celiac disease husband had one of the gluten-free bars that they suggested and they were GOOD.

The chef I talked to the next day said her goal was to get a gluten-free item on the food menue for us celiac disease'ers.....I just can't say enough about their customer service but it would be nice if we could eat something out of all the great foods they have in the food court. I know there are salads but I was kinda 'salad' out. if you know what i mean. I just saw these posts, Don't know how i missed them before. Thanks again for writing.

Judy

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      For my Vit D3 deficiency it was recommended to take with Vit K2 (MK7) with the Vit D. The Vit K2 helps absorption of Vit D3. Fat also helps with absorption. I take Micro Ingredients Vit D3 5000 IU with Vit K2 100 micrograms (as menaquinone:MK-7). Comes in soft gels with coconut oil. Gluten free but not certified gluten free. Soy free, GMO free.

Even though celiac disease and gluten sensitivity are, technically speaking, not allergic responses, it would seem, nonetheless, appropriate to include "gluten" in that list for the present purpose. That would insure that food companies would be consistent with including this information in labeling. Best estimates are that 1% of the general population, many undiagnosed of course, have celiac disease and more than that are gluten sensitive."

A good start is 100-gram (3.5-ounce) serving of salmon,  vitamin D from 7.5 to 25 mcg (300 to 1,000 IU) but it is going to take additional vitamin D supplement to be effective.  More importantly salmon has an omega-6 to omega-3 ratio 1:10 anti-inflammatory compared to the 15:1 infammatory ratio of the typical Western diet.

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts.  I respectfully disagree.  You cherry picked a small section from the page.  I will do the same below: The agency is seeking information on adverse reactions due to “ingredients of interest” (i.e., non-wheat gluten containing grains (GCGs) which are rye and barley, and oats due to cross-contact with GCGs) and on labeling issues or concerns with identifying these “ingredients of interest” on packaged food products in the U.S. “People with celiac disease or gluten sensitives have had to tiptoe around food, and are often forced to guess about their food options,” said FDA Commissioner Marty Makary, M.D., M.P.H. “We encourage all stakeholders to share their experiences and data to help us develop policies that will better protect Americans and support healthy food choices.” --- end quote Anyone with celiac disease is clearly a stakeholder.  The FDA is encouraging us to share our experiences along with any data to help develop future "policies that will better protect Americans and support healthy food choices".  I see this as our chance to speak up or forever hold our peace.  Like those that do not participate in elections, they are not allowed to complain.  The way I see it, if we do not participate in this request for public comment/feedback, then we should also not complain when we get ill from something labeled gluten-free. Have a blessed day ahead, Known1
