Hello,

Is there a list of regular products that are gluten free? I know there is one you can pay for to download online but is there any free online lists,or books that are out there that would have products listed?

Thanks!

Yes, here is a good list, but make sure you still check ingredients, since manufacturer change ingredients often and the list only gets update a few times a year, and may not be 100% accurate anyhow. Use it more as a guideline to put you in the right direction.

If you are in Canada or the USA, there are a large number of manufacturers whose policy is to clearly disclose the presence of gluten on the label. With these brands/companies, just read the ingredient list looking for any of the words wheat, rye, oat or barley. If none of those words appear, then you know that the product does not contain a gluten source, even if vague terms like "seasoning" do appear in the ingredient list.

The list I have at the moment is:

Arrowhead Mills, Aunt Nelly's, Balance, Baskin Robbins, Ben & Jerry, Bertoli, Betty Crocker, Blue Bunny, Breyers, Campbells, Cascadian Farms, Celestial Seasonings, ConAgra, Country Crock, Edy's, General Mills, Good Humor, Green Giant, Haagen Daz, Hellman's, Hershey, Hormel, Hungry Jack, Jiffy, Knorr, Kozy Shack, Kraft, Lawry's, Libby's, Lipton, Martha White, Maxwell House, McCormick, Nabisco, Nestle, Old El Paso, Ortega, Pillsbury, Popsicle, Post, Progresso, Ragu, Russell Stover, Seneca Foods, Skippy, Smucker, Stokely's, Sunny Delight, T Marzetti, Tyson, Unilever, Wishbone, Yoplait, Zatarain's.

This makes many products which are available in the "normal" section of a grocery store usable for us. Just find one of these brands, read the label (always!), choose a gluten-free product, and enjoy.

The CSA also puts out a list that can be purchased. It is updated yearly. Like said before these lists are great for newbies to give them a "guide" as to what to eat. However, even with the list please always read labels and check with the company. A published list is out of date the second that it is published as things are constantly changing.

Thank you all,

It's been quite a learning process trying to figure out what is ok and what isn't. it's been trial and error. Only the error part is not fun when it makes me sick. I am getting to the point where I am mostly buying gluten-free products at the health food stores but it would be nice to not have to spend the extra money it usually costs.

Thanks again!

Your best bet to look for "normal" foods is to become an expert label reader. Then you can make more informed decisions.

      Thank you Scott for your helpful response! Based on this, would you say someone who is on a gluten-free diet - but not strict about cross-contamination and occasional cheating - and tests negative for tTg-IgA while having normal total IgA is not likely to have celiac, even if they have been 'gluten-free' for years?

      That’s a really insightful observation about antibody testing and the gluten challenge! You’re absolutely right that antibody levels can remain elevated for months or even years after going gluten-free, especially if there’s ongoing cross-contamination or occasional slip-ups. The immune system doesn’t reset overnight—it can take time for antibodies like tTG-IgA to normalize, which is why many doctors recommend waiting at least 6–12 months of strict gluten-free eating before retesting. For someone who’s been gluten-free for less than two years or hasn’t been meticulous about avoiding cross-contact, there’s absolutely a chance they’d still test positive, since even small amounts of gluten can keep antibodies elevated. This is partly why the gluten challenge (where you eat gluten before testing) exists—it’s designed to provoke a measurable immune response in people who’ve been gluten-free long enough for antibodies to drop. But you raise a great point: the challenge isn’t perfect, and false negatives can happen if the timing or amount of gluten isn’t sufficient to trigger a strong antibody response. This is why diagnosis often combines antibody tests with other tools like genetic testing or endoscopy. Your question highlights just how nuanced celiac testing can be! For people with celiac disease hidden gluten in their diets is the main cause of elevated Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibodies (tTG-IgA), but there are other conditions, including cow's milk/casein intolerance, that can also cause this, and here is an article about the other possible causes:

      Thank you for your response! I have considered starting a food diary in the past, I suppose this is as good a time as any to start.

      I don't have health insurance so I have never had any testing done. I always thought if I stay away from gluten Ill be fine but I suppose that isn't enough anymore. I will look into getting an allergy test. Thank you for your input!

      I remember reading an article summarizing testing done by Gluten Free Watchdog on several brands of dried lentils. They were all heavily cross contaminated with wheat and the commentary was to the effect that dried lentils in general were the most heavily cross contaminated product category in their testing data base. So, I would definitely not use any dried lentil product that was not tested to be Gluten Free (<20ppm of gluten) or Certified Gluten Free (<10ppm of gluten).
