just wondering if any of you shop at kroger's and are familiar with their brand? we live in a small town in southern idaho (we drive 2 1/2 to 3 hours to see the ped gi) and we don't have the stores i keep hearing people refer to (trader joe's, whole foods). gluten free foods are a bit pricey, and having to mail order them adds up when you tack on shipping. i have a kroger's (smith's food king here in idaho) just a few blocks from my home. i am running into alot of things that look safe except for "spices" or "natural" flavors. just wondering if anyone has spoken to the folks at kroger's to ask about their ingredients?

I do alot of my shopping at King Soopers (owned by Kroger, carries Kroger brand). The best thing to do is contact them about a specific item. They do not have a list (that I am aware of) but will tell you if a Kroger product is gluten-free.

Chrissy-when I was diagnosed (2004), I was living in a small town in Alabama with no "gourmet" grocery stores either. I shopped almost 100% at the Kroger and ate many of their products. I don't remember ever getting sick from any of them. Your best bet would be to call if you are worried. (To supplement what Kroger carried, I would order the "staples" that I needed that Kroger didn't have....Tinkyada pasta, etc.)

Even where I live now, I still shop at the "regular" grocery store and seem to do just fine, and I'm very sensitive.

with Kroger brand products, currently they do not have a list, but if you call, they can usually tell you if a product is safe. (IF the dietician happens to be in that day) but the last time I called for something, they told me to keep looking at the labeling on the Kroger brand products, because it's getting better and if there is a gluten source it "should" be listed...

still, when in doubt, call the 800 # on the packages...

what you could do if you had the time, is make a list of all of the products (or as many as you are curious about) that you want to know about, and call the 800 # from home.

We use ALOT of Kroger products, and so far we only had to skip 2 things that were not gluten-free. If you call in the middle of the day, I think its liek 10-3 or somthing, thier dietitian can tell you if somthing is gluten-free or not.

I used to shop at Krogers and I really miss them. There aren't any here on Long Island. Anyways--Kroger has a code system that tells you the gluten-free products--at least they used too--I talked to the company once and they told me--but I dont remember what it was :unsure: Deb

      Celiac symptoms

      By Dana0207 · Posted

      Thank you so much for your replies. Luckily the rash went away when I completely swore off gluten. It took several months but I have not had a flare in months. So a biopsy is no longer possible. The itch was terrible and apart from bleaching my skin the steroid lotions and potions did nothing. The Gliadin is for accidents and shall be a part of my travel kit from now on. This past exposure has made a me a little leery about eating anything that was not cooked in my kitchen or a dedicated gluten-free restaurant. As much as I used to love baked goods, I am cured and have become quite the gluten free baker to the point that friends and family forget that my cakes/cookies/and bread are not "real". I guess I will have to wait for the new blood test to come out to get confirmation but I have a suspicion that the rash was dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Nateral remedies

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill

      Celiac symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      Kan-101

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      So just to be cautious, there is a big difference between cured, and responding to their medication. I assume you mean that your daughter responded well while taking KAN-101 during the trial, but the drug would not cure celiac disease, but may manage it while you are taking it. Let me know if I got this right.
