If you are looking for wild salmon, Walmart supercenter has it in their frozen seafood section. It is $4 for a pound :D and is divided into 4 individually wrapped sections. The Mahi Mahi is also wild as well as the Cod.

So is the smoked salmon gluten-free? I have been eating smoked salmon alot since going gluten-free, but last time I was at Costco I looked at the ingredients (and since also at the regular grocery store packages of smoked salmon) and they have something like "liquid smoke" or "hardwood smoke" in them - got to thinking that this might not be gluten-free since I recall an issue with charcoal.....

I remember Costco was carrying wild salmon for a while. I haven't seen it recently though. Next time I go to Costco, I am going to ask if they still carry it. Wild salmon is soooo much better for you than farmed.

This is nothing new, a few years ago this came up. It is what farmed salmon is. If you don't want to eat it, don't buy it. It doesn't have anything to do with Costco, they're just another giant company selling a so-so quality product for which there is good demand.

The fact is that wild salmon is for many people a luxury commodity. The rare times I see it fresh in an upscale fish market it is $15 a pound or more. If you eliminate fish farming, there won't be enough wild salmon to replace it, as the wild fishery is tightly controlled in order to keep the population stable.

I bought wild salmon frozen at Walmart a couple of years ago. It was so mishandled it was inedible, and I threw it out. Maybe they've fixed the issue, but considering the bad experience I have had in general buying seafood at Walmart, I have no desire to give them yet another chance.

Yep, all farm-raised salmon has dye added to their food so that their meat turns a nice, well, salmon color.

I don't trust meat of any kind from Wal-Mart. I grilled a steak from there once and it was at the same time medium rare and gray. Eww. We go to whole paycheck for steak now :rolleyes:

There are many sites to buy wild alaskan salmon & other seafood if you just goggle it in. Some places even have free overnight shipping if you order so much . I have ordered for years wild salmon.

I checked the prices. Ouch! I think I'll be sticking to local fresh seafood.

I used to buy Coho Salmon at Publix at $9 for 12 oz, then I found the wild salmon at Walmart Supercenter. I've been eating for months now and never had a problem. It's always fresh, boneless and tastes as good as any other salmon. Unless you live in Alaska :)

Be sure to thaw it before cooking. I usually forget to thaw it early, so I put the whole pkg in a bowl of water for about 15 - 30 minutes. It's in convenient packages too. 4 ind pkgs.

I like it cooked in my cast iron skillet with a little water in the pan. Cook for about 3 minutes on one side then flip it, turn off the heat and cover while fixing the rest of my meal. It will be perfect.

I've used oils, but you really don't need it here. Water works best.

The mahi mahi is excellent too. As is the cod. And no, I do not work for Walmart :lol::lol::lol:

I know what you mean about some Walmarts. They have let them get run down. We have a brand new one and an older one near me. And it really makes a difference. The new one has is going on. :D

Harvard ? Wow. I hope you are ok ? Last I saw you were trying to start a support group in SE Fl. I'm in the middle of the state, but the post caught my eye.

You should be able to get some really fresh lobster up that way. :D

Hope you feel better soon. Marcia

      I  notice a reaction to tea bags, possibly due to gluten or other substances. Is this recognizable?

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      The blood tests you had done are not the main ones. The two main ones are the "Total IGA" (to check for IGA deficiency) and the "TTG-IGA". Current guidelines for the "gluten challenge" when people have been gluten free for a significant time period are the daily consumption of at least10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks leading up to the day of the blood draw. That should give you some perspective.

      Thank you, really.  I took a test for DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG. Effectively, it is not enough to discard Celiac Disease. I was consuming gluten until then, I only started gluten-free some days ago, when the symptoms became horrible and now I feel considerably better, which is a second confirmation that gluten is the main problem. It's been more than 4 years I have the same suspect, when I first thought gluten was causing me problems, I made a gluten-free diet for a year, I felt really good as never before. However, neither I or my parents were well informed about Celiac disease, so none of us tried to make further exams. My father suffer digestive problems and other members of my family as well. Unfortunately, no one have ever been tested for Celiac disease. I'll have to restart eating gluten in the next weeks, so I can make a serious blood test in laboratory, hopefully between two or three months.

      As Scott said, in order for celiac disease testing to be valid, you need to be eating generous amounts of gluten on a regular basis for weeks or months before the blood draw. The blood tests are designed to detect antibodies that the immune system produces in response to the ingestion of gluten. It takes time for them to build up in the blood to detectable levels.

      Based on what you've described, it is absolutely crucial that you pursue further medical exams for Celiac Disease and related conditions with a gastroenterologist. Your symptoms—especially the worsening fatigue, loss of muscle mass, neurological symptoms like migraines, and palpitations, coupled with being underweight—are significant red flags that extend beyond typical IBS. The negative home test is not reliable, particularly given your concern about sample contamination and the fact that you were likely not consuming sufficient gluten at the time for the test to be accurate, which is a common issue. While probiotics like Bifidobacterium Infantis can support gut health, they cannot resolve an autoimmune response to gluten or heal intestinal damage caused by Celiac Disease. Your declining blood test results, even if still "in range," further indicate a trend that needs a doctor's investigation. Please do not hesitate to seek a specialist; a formal diagnosis is the first step toward getting the correct treatment, allowing your body to heal, and finally addressing your weight and overall health concerns. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
