Albertson's Rocks

I was in the Albertsons near me today, in the health/diet food aisle, and I found Tinkyada pasta. I was so excited. I went and found a Manager and held up the bag and said thank you so much for carrying this, you don't know what it means to me. He was very pleased and said that they had just redone the aisle yesterday, and this was a new product for them. I nearly hugged the guy. They also had Namaste stuff and some aramanth crackers. As soon as they start carrying Mrs. Leepers I may not have to go to Whole Foods again!

I live in Los Angeles, and the Albertsons is on Palms and Sepulveda, for those in the area.

I emailed Albertsons a month ago telling them thank you for carrying gluten free stuff, I hope to see more etc, etc. Not saying I changed the world, but it sure is happening.

That's great. I hope the Acme near me (which is owned by Albertson's) follows their lead.

It took me three months, but I got my Albertson's to carry those items as well. It began about a month ago...maybe they're all going to eventually get the items in. If your albertson's isn't carrying these items yet, you can use this info to encourage them to do so.

FYI - my Sateway in AZ carries Amy's frozen foods which are really, really good! They are starting to carry a few things so maybe it will catch on with all the grocery stores. Whole Foods is a great place but they are a bit pricey. I need to check out my Albertson's. Thanks for the heads up!

Yeah for Albertsons!

My neighborhood grocery store is Raleys and they have Food for Life, Amys, Mi-Del, Pamela's, Ener-G, Glutino and lots more...I feel very fortunate.

I actually work for Safeway and they have NOTHING for me at my store. They are way behind the rest when it comes to gluten-free foods. :angry:

Elonwy - Thanks so much for the info!! I work in West LA. I know exactly where that store is. I'll also check at my neighborhood Albertson's to see what they have. I was just in Whole Foods, and the cashier was so rude that I vowed never to go back. I don't know if I'll be able to stick to that, but at least I can start getting some stuff at Albertson's. Thanks for sharing.

The Safeway up here in WA and the QFC have a smattering (and odd selection, but it's there) of gluten-free items as well, including the pasta and some Amy's stuff.

BTW, the Namaste stuff... My husband actually thought the pancake mix was "pretty good"! That's high praise from the Bisquick fan with the super aware tastebuds! :-)

Just wanted to add this. I went to Albertson's yesterday and I had to ask where gluten free foods were. They do not have their special foods separate from everything else. I had to look with all the regular food. I found the cereal but didn't feel like spending 5 hours in the grocery store last night. :D I will look at more items next time I go there. I do have to say that Sprouts, Whole Foods, and stores such as those are much easier to shop at! You just walk down the isle and read the labels. The Sprouts by me puts big green stickers on the shelf where gluten-free foods are. That is so nice because I just walk and look at the stickers.

This is what I love about Raley's. The gluten-free stuff is all together in one area and I dont have to go all over the store....just one aisle. :D

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.

      Gluten free stuff

      By Tammy Pedler · Posted

      As soon as I see gluten free I read the labels. I always find stuff that I cannot have on the products them selfs. Like spices, when the labels says  everything listed and then after like say garlic salt then the next thing is spices. When it says that that can contain wheat and other things I can’t have..

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While hypoglycemia isn't a direct, classic symptom of celiac disease, it's something that some individuals with well-managed celiac disease report, and there may be a few plausible explanations for why the two could be connected. The most common theory involves continued damage to the gut lining or nutrient deficiencies (like chromium or magnesium) that can impair the body's ability to regulate blood sugar effectively, even after gluten is removed. Another possibility is delayed stomach emptying (gastroparesis) or issues with the hormones that manage blood sugar release, like glucagon. Since your doctors are puzzled, it may be worth discussing these specific mechanisms with a gastroenterologist or endocrinologist. You are certainly not alone in experiencing this puzzling complication, and it highlights how celiac disease can have long-term metabolic effects beyond the digestive tract.

      Ibuprofen

      By trents · Posted

      Paracetamol, aka, acetaminophen (Tylenol) just does not do anything for me as far as pain relief. It does help with fevers, though.
