I have recently gotten into more Sam's shopping and boy, do they have some great products now!

 

Certified gluten free coconut flour and coconut sugar, dates, quinoa, white basmati rice, big jugs of olive oil, pure maple syrup, etc. I also bought a big bag of Boulder olive oil potato chips for a treat from there. They were also certified G.F.!

 

Do you shop at Sam's? If so, what do you get from there?

I don't shop at Sam's, but I was pleased to find that one of the small grocery stores in my tiny town now has a great gluten-free section! Several different brownie and cake mixes, lot's of different flours, a bunch of salad dressings and dips, cookies, crackers, chips, etc. I'm going to take pen and paper with me next time and get the names so I can ask you all for recommendations.

 

So, tell me - aren't those Boulder Canyon olive oil chips the best chips you've ever tasted? I used to get Kettle Brand, but these are so much better and not as greasy.

I get a lot of household stuff and dry goods at sams.  When cooking for two, it isn't always the best place to stock up on food.  But I do like their natural chicken that is packaged vacuum packed two breasts to a pack, ready to freeze easily. Their OTC drugs and vitamins are usually labeled well, so I get some of those, too.  Every once in a while they will get a limited time product in that is gluten free, this past summer it was the freshetta pizzas,  I still write them once a month begging for them to get them back, lol.  I also like to buy underwear there, LOL.  Skip the other clothes, usually, since you can't try them on.

freshcetta,  Sabatasso's, &  Schwan's  gluten-free  pizza  are one in the  same.....this  info comes  directly from  Freschetta......Sabatasso  is  sold  at  Costco......

I just  found  a  gluten-free  ready   made/cooked  meatloaf  at  Sam's  plus   they  have  gluten-free  meatballs  in their  freezer  section....

I belong to both  sam's  & Costco  , we  find  we  find  much more at  Costco...

We tried having a Costco membership for awhile, but it didn't work out for us distance wise. The Costco we went to is about 78 miles from our house and about 100 miles from the town where we pick up our produce box. We had to buy at least $150-200 worth at a time to make it worth the extra 2 1/2 hours of driving.

 

Costco is better and does have more than Sam's, but being that I have a free Sam's membership and it's right on my normal grocery route, I tend to pick up what I can there. I'm thankful that Sam's options have improved, they have much more than they used to.

 

There's a new Costco opening up though that isn't completely in the opposite direction of our grocery shopping, though, so I may revisit the idea of renewing my Costco membership....

Schwan's owns Freshcetta and Sabatasso so that would make sense.  They own Red Barron, Tony's and a few other pizza lines as well.

 

We shop at Sam's.  I had Costco for a while but it's just too far away.  I've had ok luck with Sam's but a lot of their frozen veges are NOT gluten-free so be extra careful--why do they do that???

I, too, would rather go to costco but there is a sams right in my town, and the costco is a long drive along a toll road.  So, Sams it is for me, for now.  That is good info about the pizza... now I want pizza!  LOL

 

Which meatballs are gluten-free at sams?

Another couple of things I got there today was their big jug of fresh salsa and their package of single serve Sabra hummus cups. We're hitting the road to go to a wedding on Sunday, so I'll for sure pack a couple of hummus cups.

Laura,  the  meatballs  are  called  CASA, they  have  both the  wheat  ones  & the gluten-free ones... the  gluten-free  is stated  on the  front  of the  bag.... I  usually make my own  but  with  work  they  are  good in a  pinch....   I've  served  them  many times  &  gluten eaters  &  gluten-free  all liked  them.....makes  an  easy  appetizer  or  a  meal.....( frozen  section)......

We  all must  have   the  same  problem NO Costco  closest  enough! Our  Sam's  is  5  mile  , Costco  is  a  40  minute  drive...... for us  Costco is  better  more gluten-free  choices  &  at  times  I  think better  quality...just  our  opinion...

I found pupusas at Costco  labeled gluten-free, kids  loved  them....They  remind  me of  a apreas... Loaded   with  cheese  &  a few peppers.....

 

I  did find Milton's  sea salt  crackers gluten-free  & they  are  wonderful..   I  think a  cross  between a  cip  &  a  cracker.....

We go to Costco.  I like to get my Crunchmaster crackers there.  When they were out, I used my friends card and got them at Sams.  

 

Both Sams and Costco have a lot of good gluten-free things - fruit, meat, hummus, salsa, cheese, salami, some have gluten-free pasta, PB, much cheaper almond butter, chips, usually sever types of crackers, yogurt, dairy, some gluten-free flours, nuts (I haven't checked for a cc on the label- so check me), etc.  Some stores have different things.  And the choices are always changing.

Ooh I will have to look at things more closely at Sams! I did see that ours has the huge jumbo boxes of gluten free krusteaz brownie mix though and some great whole food options like the maple syrup and chia seeds.

I get Crunchmaster crackers at Sam's and love them. We do not have Costco, but they are in negotiations with our city about a site. I really hope we get one because of all the good reports I hear about it. I was very excited when Whole Foods opened here, but have been totally disappointed. My Kroger carries more gluten-free food that Whole Food and it's a lot cheaper. My Whole Foods employees  that I have talked to don't seem to "get it" when it comes to gluten-free.

Don't forget the rotisserie chickens at Sam's. They used to contain gluten but now are gluten-free. I always pick one up when I go . . . most weigh well over 3 pounds (sometimes 4) and are under $5.00. You can't buy and cook one yourself for that.

 

I haven't seen the coconut flour but will look next time.

I saw krusteaz gluten-free all purpose flour at Sams yesterday.  Claimed to be a 1:1 for wheat flour blend, but I love KAF gluten-free flour so much, I didn't want to mess around with another flour.

Laura,  do like  like the KAF  better  than cup 4 cup?  I just got a  deal on  cup 4 cup...but  I see  whole  foods  has  KAF  on  sale  this week....

I haven't used Cup4Cup as extensively as the KAF one, but I like KAF because it has whole grains, great texture with no grittiness, and they have so many well tested recipes with it.  How much has whole foods marked down KAF?  It doesn't go on sale as much as some other brands.

I got  it  for  $14.00  but  reg.19.95   where  I'm  at.....I  have  only  found  a box  of KAF  not  a  3# bag  or  a large  amount... I  bake so much  a box  wouldn't  last  me long ....does KAF  come  in large  bags?

I haven't checked... you could write them to ask.  If you sign up for their email list, you get coupons periodically, usually something like $20 off a $75 purchase, etc.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      If you were off gluten for two months that would have been long enough to invalidate the celiac blood antibody testing. Many people make the same mistake. They experiment with the gluten free diet before seeking formal testing. Once you remove gluten from the diet the antibodies stop being produced and those that are already in circulation begin to be removed and often drop below detectable levels. To pursue valid testing for celiac disease you would need to resume gluten consumption equivalent to the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for at least two weeks, preferably longer. These are the most recent guidelines for the "gluten challenge". Without formal testing there is no way to distinguish between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity since their symptoms overlap. However, celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the small bowel lining, not true of gluten sensitivity. There is no test available for gluten sensitivity so celiac disease must first be ruled out. By the way, elevated liver enzymes was what led to my celiac diagnosis almost 25 years ago.

      Then it does not seem to me that a gluten-related disorder is at the heart of your problems, unless that is, you have refractory celiac disease. But you did not answer my question about how long you had been eating gluten free before you had the blood antibody test for celiac disease done.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      My genetic test results have arrived - I’m homozygous for DQB1*02, meaning I have HLA-DQ2. I’ve read that this is one of the genes most strongly associated with celiac disease, and my symptoms are very clear. I’m relieved that the results finally arrived, as I was getting quite worried since my symptoms have been getting worse. Next step, blood test. What do these results imply? What should I tell my family? I’m concerned that this genetic predisposition might also affect other family members.

      By rei.b · Posted

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.
