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

      Oral thrush question

      Hi Everyone, I do appreciate your replies to my original post. Here is where I am now in this journey. I am currently seeing a Naturopath. One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD. My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow. She has put me on some digestive enzymes...

      Oral thrush question

      Hi @JulieRe. I just found your post. It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida. I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment. In the meantime, I have been working with a functional...

      Advice while waiting for testing

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct r...

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:
