I bought some Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce but I'm reading Modified Food Starch, "Sprices", Natural flavor, have you had it confirmed it's OK? I went to the site and couldn't tell. Looks yummy!

Jenvan, you made my day! It was delicous. No more sitting around the table for me eating plain dry chicken breasts while everyone else munches. Thanks! Reminded me of the "good-old-days" just in time for summer bbq season.

I don't know if we can eat the hotdogs or not, I'm on a gluten challenge for my biopsy. Something tells me that they're nathan's though, and not gluten-free. Sorry for not mentioning that :unsure:

The Costcos around my house serve Hebrew National Hot Dogs, which are gluten free (no bun of course..)

I have a related question (regarding the Hebrew National Hot Dogs) - I am under the impression that only beef hot dogs with NO MSG's are safe for us to eat? Hebrew National I believe have MSG's? What's the deal - am I totally confused with the gluten free diet or what????? :blink:

MSG in the US does not have gluten, generally. It's unhealthy for anyone, though. From a celiac standpoint, Hebrew National is safe.

So I know I'm not the only one with a Costco membership.

What are your favorite Gluten-free things to buy at Costco?

So far I've discovered that their Kirkland line of vitamins are mostly gluten-free and say "GLUTEN FREE" clearly on the side of the package (I've so far checked my Fish Oil, Cal/Mag, MSM and Fiber supplements and verified they are all gluten-free).

What other gluten-free products does Costco carry? I'm especially interested in any products that aren't totally junky. I want to start doing more of my shopping there since it saves me so much money, but so much of the food they sell is super-processed and therefore not safe.

EDITED TO ADD: How strange, I made this as a new post but instead it got put at the end of an old post - Maybe because we used the same subject line! Anyway, I figure it doens't hurt to bump this topic up for more discussion ;-P

I shop a lot at Costco. I'm very recently gluten-free so I'm still learning, but definitely I'll continue to buy the cheese. I'm a real cheese person. The string cheese makes a nice snack. My Costco also carries Amy's gluten-free enchilada meals in the freezer section. It's a 6 pack with 3 cheese and 3 black bean. Some people have reported CC issues with Amy's but I've not had a problem. These are really yummy.

In the snack section they have a really tasty dried fruit and nuts "trail mix" that I put in my lunches. It's kind of like granola minus the granola. B) My Costco also just got in Lara bars. I really really like Lara bars. Since they're just fruit and nuts they're not too bad for you and not too highly processed. And they pack really well. At Costco they are less than $1 per bar so that's a really good deal too. I've also just tried Sweet Baby Ray's barbeque sauce which I saw on a gluten-free food list. That's really tasty.

Obviously I still buy the naturally gluten-free stuff - meats, wine, cheese, fruit juices. And I'm eyeing a toaster oven too. :)

I read on a list that the lattes/mochas both hot and cold that Costco sells in the snack bar are gluten-free too.

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      My question I have proposed to the FDA through their website is why Prescription and OTC drug manufacturers are not required to list what binding ingredients were used to bine the drug? They list this on Capsules which are made of cellulose but not on pills? As it stands I or my pharmacist must contact the manufacturer to find out and my list is long from...

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
