Supermarkets With Gluten-free Sections

[GEF]

I'm here in Virginia and we have a supermarket called Ukrops. I have noticed that they have an entire section on gluten-free products... entrees, flours, pastas, treats... it's just fabulous!! They are also less than a mile away!! Do supermarkets in your area have the same?

Some Krogers have the same, but not as good as Ukrops.

In case you didn't know, Ukrops also has a gluten-free list of products online. I live in Roanoke. I wish we'd get Ukrops here.

It really is nice having a company that is so helpful with heath concerns.

Do you know you have a good support group in Richmond? It's the West End GIG. I actually came to Richmond for one of their meetings (and to in-laws) when the president of GIG was speaking. Here's e-mail for one of the organizers. Her name is Anna Ashworth.

I thought I heard of one, but couldn't remember where it was. Thank you... I will definitely contact them! West End is pretty close by.

ps... I'm waiting on going gluten-free until after some more tests and the wedding.

And here's the web site. Good luck.

Fairways (huge store) has regular food downstairs and an organic/gluten-free section on the second floor--it's fabulous.....huge selection and since it's a grocery store, not a healthfood store, the prices are so much better!

The two Wegmans near here, have Health Food sections with gluten free foods. The "super" one having more.

They are in NY, I know. Maybe NJ too. Not sure about where else though.

Hi everyone,

Just an FYI about Jone's sausage. All brands, except for the maple flavored and the pork/bacon flavored are gluten-free. The two exceptions don't have gluten listed in the ingredients and my grandson and I wound up being pretty sick for a day or so after eating the pork/bacon links. I was pretty peeved when I called their 800# to find out that yes, indeed, they do contain gluten even though it's not listed on the package. I hope that the gluten-free labeling law gets passed, write your congressman!

Though.. I don't think it takes effect till 2006? Could be wrong there.
