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. :)

Wow, I didn't know THAT. Only in the glutenfree section or all over the supermarket???

Hugs, Stef

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

      Oh yes I can understand the tiredness after going threw all that, must be exhausting especially on the mind I have high aniexty so I can understand that , I wish there more easier ways for people to get help , I had a MRI on my spine some years ago without anything it was really quick and no prep , I understand the need for  them to see better with the bowel ,but you think they would use something a little less traumatic  for ibd sufferers on the bowels by now ,I hope your feeling better today 🙏

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      I wonder if tingling burning feet are part of it.. I'm not sure if it's the med reaction that people with gluten intolerance get or the food we ate  It's frustrating because a person who did not want to admit to himself I had this condition wanted me to eat this chicken sandwich and now I'm stuck with a variety of symptoms plus now I'm hungry on top of it..  I'm new to this so I forget that "one bite" of the wrong thing can hurt us.😔. Do we stop eating if someone exposed us to gluten ??  My stomach is rumbling but my joints hurt ...  It's weird because I can feel the anxiety coming on.  I get joint problems ,  I don't know if anyone ever got hot flashes?? I suppose if it affects people head to toes you can get that too.   It's weird...hard to decipher what is what.   Also how long do I have to deal with this attack??  Makes me feel like not getting up out of bed.  I get too many symptoms which  horrible.  Thank you for your response..

      still struggling with cravings

      By wellthatsfun · Posted

      as my last post stated, i was diagnosed via endoscopy on the 14th of june. i have been eating amazing home cooked meals, luckily, mainly cooked by my boyfriend who is extremely careful about contamination (and is an incredible cook at that). however, i find myself in a mental rut still. being 18, this is the time in my life where i should be exploring things, going out, having fun. yet every corner i turn i'm tortured by the amazing smell of something i can't have anymore. the wonderful sight of such yummy foods. it's near torture. if my boyfriend and his friend who lives with us buy something i can't have, they'll usually eat it outside of the house or the car or wherever we are - which is greatly appreciated - but even seeing a burger or chips or a sausage roll in their hands guts me almost beyond repair. i just wanna have it again too. i miss it. i feel left out and it makes me very sad all the time. it's not their fault. they are allowed to eat whatever they want to, whatever their intestines will allow. it just stings, bad. and i feel so ungrateful given i basically have a private chef who is doubly the love of my life. but it's just so hard. i know i'll adapt. i haven't given up hope.i just wanted to vent. thank you for reading

      Thank you. I must have misinterpreted a study or something. Thank you for the clarification. Much appreciated. Almost three years into my celiac diagnosis and I'm still learning new things.
