My girlfriend got me a membership to Costco today because the gluten free food she heard about there. I love the Sabatasso's Pizza in the 3 pack. It's certified by the CSA which tests for under 5ppm. They had a ton and I mean a ton of other stuff marked as gluten free but we all know that really doesn't mean too much sometimes. These stores are all over the country so I'm going to ask everyone at there, What are the best, safe, gluten free foods to get at Costco's?

The Costco rotisserie chicken is our "to go" food.  Yummy and safe.  At our Costco, the chicken guy only handles chicken all day long!  The prep area is away from other food prep areas.  

We buy mostly Whole Foods (fruit, veggies, meat, fish, eggs, dairy, cheese,  rice, etc.) but I buy chips and snacks that are certified gluten free and some that are not certified.  You need to read the labels each and every single time.  

Have fun exploring!

I like Costco but am in uk so our Costco products may differ, but I've found coconut flour, gf 'chips' :P pasta and more. There was a brownie mix which was pretty good if like me your a bit lazy when it comes to baking. The lines seem to vary here so you need to get it before it's gone.

In the refrigerated sections there are some nice falafel and spicy snacks. They have good chorizo which is gf also as well as good selections of fish. 

Reading labels is a must though, I had to give away a big bag of walnuts after I got them home and finally found a wheat warning :(

What about any of the frozen veggies. I know I saw some of the frozen meledy and stir fry mixes that I don't think were seasoned. Any body try those?

Does anybody know if Costco has any gluten-free options at the food court?

I've been eating the chicken Cesar salads without croutons for years without issues.

I find more and more gluten free items at Costco every time I go.  However the last time, I was in a rush near the end of the big shopping trip, and quickly grabbed a PALEO BARS thing that looked great for something to have in my purse when I'm out and around. The label said grain free, but I didn't see the fine print that it was processed on equipment that also processes wheat.  So be careful. 

We regularly get KIND bars, the Sabastino's gluten-free Pizza (freezer), gluten-free Tortilla Chips, gluten-free Pork Tamales (fridge section), Organic Jack's Cantina Salsa gluten-free (fridge section), Hempler's bacon (marked gluten-free), Tillamook cheese.  Lots to choose from, just read the labels carefully like anyplace else.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Theresa2407 · Posted

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Possible celiac - need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Celiac or not??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
