Do you tolerate the ones that are labeled "no gluten ingredients used." My mom just bought me a few things and sent it from out of state. She sent dried pineapples and also cassava chips.

What do you think? We have no Trader Joes nearby so I haven't tried these. Thanks!

I would read to see if it says something like, "Processed on equipment with wheat", or something similar. A lot of their stuff does. If so, then I wouldn't eat it.

I looked over and over but I don't see that info. That was the first thing I looked for. Weird that they didn't disclose that.

Maybe it's one of those legal things where they don't want to make promises they're not sure about, but they're not actively contaminating the product. I'd call and ask if you're not super-sensitive, but if you are, I'd just avoid the product.

I ate some cassava chips just this week with no issues. Most of their products will say if they are manufactured on shared equipment. I've not tried the dried pineapple but I have successfully eated some trail mixes labeled no gluten ingredients.

It sounds like you are pretty sensitive so I'd maybe call to be sure. Everytime I've dealt with them they are very courteous and helpful! I'd hate to say it's good and you get sick!

I have not had those products, but I have tried many of Trader Joe's Products without a problem and I'm super sensitive to CC. I've had Trader Joes corn crackers, gluten free pancake mix, brown rice pasta, and corn tortillas. Everything was good and reasonably priced. I like Trader Joe's a lot.

I totally forgot to call them today. Bummer. The packaging doesn't have an 800 number, I'll check their website. I am sensitive. I'm grain-free, dairy and soy-free as well. I've not had any Trader Joes before, we don't have one here in town, just a huge Whole Foods.

Thanks everyone!

They make really yummy snickerdoodles. I don't think the box says gluten free on the front, because it's actually more than just gluten free (free of I can't remember how many of the most common allergens). I highly recommend them :)

I make really good snickerdoodles from scratch and it's grain-free :). I am not just gluten-free, I'm grain-free as well(dairy and soy-free too).

Ooooh, could I get the recipe from you? They sound awesome. I keep meaning to go back to being grain free. And I'm back in Oz again now so it's not like I can eat the trader joes ones anyway.

Oooh I totally want this recipe too! Pretty please! :)

Edit: I think I found it. Snickerdoodles

But dang, it's got xanthan gum! :( Does that not bother you, being grain-free? It's bad bad bad for me.

They seem to be really good with mentioning shared equipments on the ingredients label. After having been glutened a few times from their share equipment/no gluten ingredients potato chips I don't go near the stuff on shared equipment. Luckily there's plenty of stuff that isn't made on shared equipment at Trader Joes. If you eat legumes then try out the cilantro/jalapeno hummus it's absolutely delicious. It's in the shorter/wider tubs as far as their hummus brands go, the taller/thinner brand is made on shared equipment.

      Was a biopsy done when you had your gastroscopy? Concerning your anemia, are you B12 deficient? It's nearly impossible to get sufficient B12 if you are a vegetarian unless you take supplements.

Your posting presents a lot of information. But a couple of things I can respond to. One, celiac disease is diagnosed by endoscopy and biopsy of the duodenum. So, pathology will need to weigh in. It's not diagnosed on gastroscopy. (At least, not as far as I know). Two, did you get blood tests for celiac disease? You will need to be eating gluten in order for those to be accurate. Three, where was the CT angiogram (of what)? I could go on and on, but thought I'd start there.

      Hi, I attended a neurologist appt last Tuesday, which I nearly cancelled, due to ongoing numbness and tingling in toes to mid foot. One of the first things he asked was ‘are you celiac’. I’m not. He thought all reflexes were ok but at the last minute decided on nerve conduction tests which were low normal. He was a little confused as he felt they should be better and tried a new set of probs, all the time, giving me multiple shocks which were not enjoyable lol. Anyway, he’s now ordered tests for myeloma, and all the vitaminy things that so many of you mention on here, also tests looking for autoimmune responses. I already have Hashimotos. Interestingly, to me, but maybe someone out there can relate or knows more than i do, although I was a nurse, but ED not ‘weird symptoms’  nurse. Anyway back to the interesting thing, I took duramine in 2013 to lose weight which caused a massive panic attack when I stopped taking it and half my hair fell out. I only took it for a week but it was horrible and I regret it. It triggered ongoing panic attacks which are horrendous. So I feel like I’m a bit crazy. Then in 2020 I had this sudden onset of horrible pain when trying to eat a cinnamon roll. It continued and I lost around 20 kgs. I had two gastroscopes and a colonoscopy and they were all normal. I scored a barium swallow and CT angiogram. All normal. The pain subsided a little but I was left with reflux and an awful feeling that I couldn’t get air when I ate some foods. This was not anxiety.  The anxiety was separate and I still maintain this. This was something to do with eating. It was like the air was thick but I wasn’t short of breath. I just had the sensation I was, then it triggered anxiety. Anyway, I had other weird things- couldn’t bend knees to shave legs in shower lol. Knees felt stiff and swollen but they weren’t. Knee WOUld swell up randomly but mri showed minimal issues. A bit of a meniscus degeneration but insignificant. Then the buzzing sensations in my head, the feeling like someone was stabbing me with something sharp. So now, I pre empted his tests, although I don’t think I’m celiac because it should have come up on gastroscopy, I’ve gone off gluten. Since Tuesday last week so 9 days. Since then I don’t appear to be as constipated, I realised I got through today without a nap and I’m not tired, maybe it’s just today and not related but I get very tired normally and sleep straight after work often, I can bend my knees and shave my legs lol, the buzzing vibrating has gone from my head, I had to call and ambulance as my heart decided we were off on a run, but we weren’t running and I’ve been a bit twitchy at bed time when trying to sleep, reflux is improving, I did get the weird suffocating feeling a bit when eating today but not as bad normall. Tingling and numbness still present and I felt like it moved up my legs a bit today but I’m a bit jittery. So I don’t know if it’s celiac disease or a gluten intolerance but I think, and it may be wishful thinking because my symptoms do make life a bit challenging, but maybe I’m feeling better. I don’t feel as cloudy. My thinking feels crisper. Like there’s no buzzing and I’m not fighting to break through the cloudiness now. I hope so much that this may help me feel a bit better moving forward. It would be a miracle as I really have struggled to work and parent and keep the house clean and I’m always anxious and exhausted.  If you get this far, please tell me if you you can relate to any of the above. Oh and tonsils out 5 years ago but before that antibiotics multiple times a year, sometimes intramuscular because they were so bad.  Op was meant to take 30 mins, it took 1.5 hours due to size of them.
