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.

      Your high lactulose test, indicating out of control Small Itenstinal Bacterial O,vergrowth is one symptom.  You likely have low vitamin D, another symptom.  Unless you get lots of sun.   Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption, often leading to subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  A lot of people have these symptoms just before an acute phase of Celiac Disease.  Each of the symptoms can have multiple causes that are not celiac disease,  but when you start having multiple symptoms,  and each symptom is treated as a separate disease,  you have to think, maybe these are all one cause. celiac disease. There is a misconception that Celiac Disease is  a gastrointestinal disease and symptoms are only gastro related.  Wrong.  It is an autoimmune disease and has many symptoms that usually are disregarded.  I made that mistake until 63 y.o.  It can cause a dermatitis herpetiformis rash,  white spots on the brain.  It caused my alcoholism, arthritis, congested sineses, protein spots on my contacts lenses, swollen prostate, symptoms that are "part of aging". You may be tolerating gluten, the damage will happen. Of curiosity though, your age, sex, are you outside a lot without sunscreen?

      It would be interesting to see if you were tested again for blood antibodies after abandoning the gluten free diet for several weeks to a few months what the results would be. Don't misunderstand me. I'm not necessarily suggesting you do this but it is an option to think about. I guess I'm saying there is a question in my mind as to whether you actually ever had celiac disease. As I said above, the blood antibody testing can yield false positives. And it is also true that celiac-like symptoms can be produced by other medical conditions.

      Welcome to the forum, @numike! We sometimes get reports like yours from community members who believe their celiac disease has "gone away." We think there can sometimes be cases of remission but not long term healing and that continued consumption of gluten will eventually result in a relapse. This is the state of our knowledge at this point but there is still a lot we don't know and celiac disease continues to surprise us with new findings on a frequent basis. So, we would not advise you to abandon a strict gluten-free diet. Perhaps you can draw consolation from the fact that at the present time you seem to be able to consume gluten without consequences when in situations where you do not have the option to eat gluten-free. But I would advise you to not generalize your recent experience such that you throw caution to the wind. But I want to go back to what you said about being diagnosed by blood test in the early 2000's. Did you not also have that confirmed with an endoscopy and biopsy of the small bowel lining? Normally, a celiac disease diagnosis is not concluded based on a blood test alone because there can be false positives. What kind of doctor did this testing? Was it done in the U.S. or overseas? In the last few years, it has become common in the U.K. to grant a celiac diagnosis from blood testing alone if the antibody test scores are 10x normal or greater. But that practice has not caught on in the U.S. yet and was not in place internationally in the early 2000's. Do you have a record of the tests that were done, the scores and also the reference ranges for negative vs. positive for the tests?
