Whole Foods Favorites

Going to Conneticut next week and will finally get to go to a Whole Foods.

There are so many things I haven't been able to find. I know I want the coconut oil.

Any recomendations for soap, shampoo, conditioner? These are the main needs but I have to have sodium laurel sulfate free.

Any favorite suggestions would really be appreciated.

I'm soy, corn, dairy, grain, free.

Thanks. :)

Hi Lee :)

I use (and really like) Shikai Everyday Shampoo and Conditioner. I'm positively addicted to the smell :D . Also, the Zia line of facial care is very good--I use the Moisturing Cleanser. Not all of their products are gluten-free, so read labels carefully with them. But I love what this cleanser does for my skin! I use Jason Supersmile Toothpaste--love it, too. Nice mint taste (not artificial) and my teeth really look a little brighter. (No kidding!) No SLS in any of them.

I also really like the Boylan Cane Cola--not too often, but sometimes when I just want a soda. It has no corn or gluten. It does have caffein, though (from coffee)

For baking, Spectrum Organic Shortening is great--works just like Crisco in recipes.

I actually don't need to go to WF much anymore since Wegman's opened--it's closer to me and has all of these brands.

Have fun there--let us know what you ended up getting.

Thanks Patti,

I will look forward to trying the products you recommend. They sound real good.

I'll see if she has a wegmans near her also as I don't have one here. Heard good things about that place.

Any particular hand cream you use? I'm using Johnson and Johnsons baby cream now.

Do you use hair gel or molding mud? I'm using Sebastian Molding Mud but don't know if it is gluten-free- they have not got back to me. I love that stuff. :P

Lee--

I still have a bottle of the Gluten Free Savonnerie Lotion from last winter--I'm using that up. Then, I'll be on the lookout for a good one, too! Let me know what you find.

For my hair, I use Dove Soft and Smooth Anti Frizz Creme. I don't use a gel or mud.

If there is a Wegman's nearby, do go and have a look--it's worth it! :D

Their gluten-free bakehouse sandwich bread is the best pre-baked. My preference is to bake the gluten-free pantry sandwich bread but theirs is the best of the pre-bakes. As always, personal preferences come into that since a lot of people recommend Amy's mix or the enjoy life pre-baked and I didn't like either.

If you are going to be any where near Glastonbury (Garden of Light) or Hamden (Thyme and Season) or Stratford (Nature's Way), check out one of these stores. For my time and effort, they have a bigger range of gluten-free products (foods and personal care) then Whole Foods.

The Whole Foods stores in the Northeast tend to be small, compared to Whole Foods stores in the rest of the USA. Since they have less space, it is not the same experience as a Whole Foods elsewhere.

She just emailed me that she has a Wild Oaks real close. Man I am going to be in gluten free heaven. I know nothing about that place either. I'm asking about favorites because I don't want to be in there ALL day. :P

Thanks cmzirlelback and Tim for your suggestions.

[Check out the gluten free chocolate chip cookies at Wild Oats. They're pretty good.

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
