Where Do You Shop?

I have been shopping Wild Oats because it is right down the street, but it's quite expensive. I have also recently found a decent gluten free section at Meijer, which helps. I have heard Trader Joe's sells many of the same things as Wild Oats at a lower price. There is one about 25 minutes from here, so not too out of the way if the deals are worth it.

Thoughts?

Your user name caught my eye - our cat is named Indy, so you'll hear a lot of "go feed Indy" in our house :P

Anyway... I shop regularly at Trader Joe's, I eat a lot of cashew and almond butter and it is literally half the price as found in any other store. They also carry Sharon's sorbet - the lemon is fantastic!! Definitely go check it out.

I shop at Meijer mostly, but when I need specialty foods I go to Raisin Rack (local health food store), Trader Joe's or Whole Foods. TJ & WF are farther away, though and I only go there if I can't get what I need at the other 2 places.

I don't have a Whole foods/Wild Oats/ Trader Joe's around me. I do most of my shopping at Wegmans in Scranton at the moment. Soon our new Wegmans is going to be built and then I will have a local one!

I also shop at the Gluten Free Source in Dillsburg, the couple who runs that store are very helpful and so friendly. I enjoy going there and the selection is out of this world.

I do all of my daily shopping at Wal-mart. Their prices are competitive and their store brand (GV) clearly labels gluten-free. I've found so many things that I never thought I'd have again thanks to GV brand. The best part is, they label whether or not the product is made in a facility that processes wheat so I can be relatively sure that there's little to no chance of CC. I really trust GV brand and I've never had a problem.

For my gluten free specialty foods I usually shop online at www.shopbydiet.com and www.kinnikinnick.com. Kinnikinnick is great for pre-made breads, bagels, cookies, and baking needs. ShopByDiet is great for everything else. It's kind of a one-stop shop and they do other allergies too, so it makes shopping for multiple intolerances really easy. Their prices are some of the best that I've found also. They have weekly specials so you can stock up on favorite foods. Most of all, they have a HUGE selection and orders come packed very nicely. I've had no problems with things coming to me damaged or broken. Even crackers are generally in perfect condition from them.

I shop at Whole Foods...I don't buy a LOT of gluten-free products because I'm trying NOT to eat a lot of processed foods of ANY kind, lol, but I do ocassionally indulge in a chocolate bumble bar if I can find one, or a bit of gluten/casein free chocolate. Whole Foods has the best selection of that type of thing and of organic meats and veggies and such. I'm trying to stay organic as much as possible so have resigned myself to the fact that I will just have to spend more to get it. :(

I do most of my shopping at Wegmans--I love that store! Since I don't buy many specialty products (and the ones I do buy, they have--this includes my hair, skin and teeth products, too) I don't really need to go anywhere else. The only thing I go to Whole Foods for now is Boylan's Soda--and that only occasionally.

I start was wal-mart and get what I can there. Then I go to Publix and get what I can there. Then I go to one of many health food stores and get what I like at each. I don't do all that each week, just when I need stuff. I have found Wild Oats more expensive than the local stores.

      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.
