Hi! I remember reading many of you saying what gluten-free products you were able to find at Trader Joe's, but that was before I know there was one coming to Pittsburgh, so I didn't look carefully at what you'd found.

Do they have a gluten-free section, or do they tend to spread everything out all over the store like Whole Foods? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

their rice noodle garlic bowls are good!!!!I went down on Saturday & it was a mad house so I left. I have shopped at their stores in Ohio & Philly. I can't say I'm overly impressed.To me it is very similar to Whole Foods & the Mustard Seed stores.

I still think SunnyBridge & Herbalicious Health Food Stores have a more extensive array of gluten-free foods......

You shoud try to come down to SunnyBridge on 11-11-06. I'll be glad to pick you up????

That is so nice of you!!! Unfortunately, we go down to Pittsbuurgh Music Academy in Carnegie on Saturdays for the kids' music lessons and classes.

Where is Sunnybridge again? I know you told me once, but I forget (gluten brain?).

The thing about Trader's is it's not really a health food store....more of a specialty store with some health food and gluten-free items...the prices are usually great though. :)

During the holidays, they have REALLY good dark chocolate truffles mmmmmm gluten-free and dairy-free.

They also sell pomegranate seeds this time of year. I really like them. I like their soups as well. They have a yummy veggie soup and a really good Carribean Vegetable soup that comes in a jar.

I also really like the tomato basil hummus with their rice chips.

Lastly...Sharon's coconut sorbet (although some Whole Foods carry this as well).

Oh I lied. One more thing. I hear east coast stores have great gluten-free rolls on the in the bread section.

Other than that it's a good place for buying things like beans, corn tortillas, rice, quinoa, dips and nut butters...

(disclaimer: I haven't been there in about six months so ingredients in my suggestions might have changed :ph34r: They have a gluten-free list on the website, although I've heard it isn't the most reliable thing there is...)

Just chiming in to say that we LOVE sharon's sorbet! Our Whole Foods doesn't carry it - I can only find it at Trader Joe's. We LOVE the passionfruit flavor. Delicious!!!

They have a glutten-free list you can ask for. As with anything be sure to check labels. The Trader Joes by me seems kind of small and doesn't always have everything on the list or it doesn't stay in their stocking inventory.

Edit To Add: Products are spread across the store, but many have a gluten-free label on the shelf.

Our Trader Joe's has fresh gluten-free breads, gluten-free cereals, rice pasta, soy ice cream, and meats without added ingredients.

No fresh gluten-free breads or gluten-free cereals here :( , but they did have the rice pasta and Sharon's sorbet.

Where in the Chicago area is Trader Joe's? (My folks still live in the Northern suburbs.)

chicagojen, our Trader Joe's is in LaGrange. I don't know if the other Chicago-area stores have the same items.

Fiddle-Faddle, there are three Trader Joe's on the north side and two in the western suburbs, but I think the one in Glenview would be closest to your folks. Check out the Trader Joe's web site at Open Original Shared Link.

I stock up on nut butters, it's literally half the price then at my grocery store! The Sharon's sorbet is great (I love the lemon, but raspberry and coconut are good too). Nuts and dried fruit, soy or almond milk and wine B) is very cheap there. Frozen veggies are good quality and great price. Mine does carry some cereal and cereal bars, but a very small selection.

In Chicago there are now two:

-One at Lincoln and Grace

-Another at Clybourn a few blocks north of North Avenue (It's right about the Crate and Barrel Outlet Store)

I love the tinkyada pasta, carton soups (creamy tomato), Puffins and Envirokidz cereals, round rice crackers with wheat-free soy sauce seasoning, and i've heard that the wheat free waffles are great--but I'm not sure they are gluten free. I was thinking about writing to them and requesting a gluten-free cookie.

Have fuN! I love TJ's--they have saved my life (and my wallet) from Whole Foods..

      Chances of being coeliac

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Welcome @JoJo0611. That is a valid question.  Unfortunately the short answer is slim to none.  Be proactive, when the diagnosis process is completed, start GFD.  Remember also that the western diet is deficient in many nutrients that governments require fortification.  Read the side of a breakfast cereal box. Anti-tTG antibodies has superseded older serological tests It has a strong sensitivity (99%) and specificity (>90%) for identifying celiac disease. A list of symptoms linked to Celiac is below.  No one seems to be tracking it, but I suspect that those with elevated ttg, but not diagnosed with Celiac Disease, are diagnosed with celiac disease many years later or just die, misdiagnosed.  Wheat has a very significant role in our economy and society.  And it is addictive.  Anti-tTG antibodies can be elevated without gluten intake in cases of other autoimmune diseases, certain infections, and inflammatory conditions like inflammatory bowel disease. Transient increases have been observed during infections such as Epstein-Barr virus.Some autoimmune disorders including hepatitis and biliary cirrhosis, gall bladder disease. Then, at 65 they are told you have Ciliac Disease. Milk protein has been connected to elevated levels.   Except for Ireland and New Zealand where almost all dairy cows are grass fed, commercial diaries feed cows TMR Total Mixed Rations which include hay, silage, grains and concentrate, protein supplements, vitamins and minerals, byproducts and feed additives. Up to 80% of their diet is food that cannot be eaten by humans. Byproducts of cotton seeds, citrus pulp, brewer’s grains (wheat and barley, rye, malt, candy waste, bakery waste. The wheat, barley and rye become molecules in the milk protein and can trigger tTg Iga in persons suseptible to Celiac. I can drink Grass fed milk, it tastes better, like the milk the milkman delivered in the 50's.  If I drink commercial or Organic milk at bedtime I wake with indigestion.

      Dedicated gluten-free Restaurants in East Bay (near San Francisco):

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      I strongly recommend 2 dedicated gluten free (gluten-free) restaurants in my area (East Bay of San Francisco Bay Area) (2025) -- Life is Sweet Bakery and Café in Danville. I've been a few times with friends and tried multiple entrees and salads. All very good and worth having again. I've also tried a number of their bakery goods. All extremely good (not just "good for gluten-free"). https://lifeissweetbakeryandcafe.com/ -- Kitara Kitchen in Albany (they have additional locations). I've been once and had the "Buritto Bowl". Six individual items plus a sauce. Outstanding. Not just "for gluten-free", but outstanding in its own right. Vibrant flavors, great textures. I can't wait to go back. https://www.kitava.com/location/kitava-albany/

      Celiac getting dentures

      I'm 67 and have been celiac for 17yrs. I had cataract surgery and they put a gluten lens in my eye. Through a lot of research, I found out about MMA acrylic...it contains gluten. It took 6 months for me to find a DR that would remove it and replace it with a gluten-free lens . I have lost some vision in that eye because of it . I also go to a prosthodontist instead of a regular dentist because they are specialized. He has made me a night guard and a few retainers with no issues... where my regular dentist didn't care. I have really bad reactions to gluten and I'm extremely sensitive, even to CC. I have done so much research on gluten-free issues because of these Drs that just don't care. Gluten is in almost everything shampoo, lotion, food, spices, acrylic, medication even communion wafers! All of my Drs know and believe me I remind them often.... welcome to my world!

      If this applies geographically, in the U.K., physicians will often declare a diagnosis of celiac disease based on the TTG-IGA antibody blood test alone if the score is 10x normal or greater, which your score is. There is very little chance the endoscopy/biopsy will contradict the antibody blood test.
