Help
just wondering if any of you shop at kroger's and are familiar with their brand? we live in a small town in southern idaho (we drive 2 1/2 to 3 hours to see the ped gi) and we don't have the stores i keep hearing people refer to (trader joe's, whole foods). gluten free foods are a bit pricey, and having to mail order them adds up when you tack on shipping. i have a kroger's (smith's food king here in idaho) just a few blocks from my home. i am running into alot of things that look safe except for "spices" or "natural" flavors. just wondering if anyone has spoken to the folks at kroger's to ask about their ingredients?

I do alot of my shopping at King Soopers (owned by Kroger, carries Kroger brand). The best thing to do is contact them about a specific item. They do not have a list (that I am aware of) but will tell you if a Kroger product is gluten-free.

Chrissy-when I was diagnosed (2004), I was living in a small town in Alabama with no "gourmet" grocery stores either. I shopped almost 100% at the Kroger and ate many of their products. I don't remember ever getting sick from any of them. Your best bet would be to call if you are worried. (To supplement what Kroger carried, I would order the "staples" that I needed that Kroger didn't have....Tinkyada pasta, etc.)
Even where I live now, I still shop at the "regular" grocery store and seem to do just fine, and I'm very sensitive.

with Kroger brand products, currently they do not have a list, but if you call, they can usually tell you if a product is safe. (IF the dietician happens to be in that day) but the last time I called for something, they told me to keep looking at the labeling on the Kroger brand products, because it's getting better and if there is a gluten source it "should" be listed...
still, when in doubt, call the 800 # on the packages...
what you could do if you had the time, is make a list of all of the products (or as many as you are curious about) that you want to know about, and call the 800 # from home.

We use ALOT of Kroger products, and so far we only had to skip 2 things that were not gluten-free. If you call in the middle of the day, I think its liek 10-3 or somthing, thier dietitian can tell you if somthing is gluten-free or not.

I have never had a problem with Kroger products.
If all the world is indeed a stage and we are merely players then will someone give me the script because I have no f!@#$%^ clue as to what is going on!

Started low-carb diet early 2004, felt better but not totally gluten-free. Went 100% gluten-free early 2005 and life has never been better.

I used to shop at Krogers and I really miss them. There aren't any here on Long Island. Anyways--Kroger has a code system that tells you the gluten-free products--at least they used too--I talked to the company once and they told me--but I dont remember what it was
