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.)

bpritt, which trader joe's is that? i'm in chicago, but i don't think i've seen the fresh gluten-free breads... would love to check those out!

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..

      confirmed via biopsy, quite depressed

      i am australian. we do have plenty of substitutes, but most are very expensive compared to the originals. i believe i'll just stick to home cooked meals and not have many treats at all. it's sad but it's just so much easier. also, ive heard far too many horror stories of people ordering gluten free food from restaurants and cafés, explicitly telling servers and kitchen staff that cross contamination is a strict no go, and they still get very sick. until i find a reasonably priced fully gluten free kitchen somewhere, i am not eating out for my safety and sanity.

      Gluten Sensitivity

      By The Logician · Posted

      To Trent’s, yes, from what i’ve read it is not uncommon for digestive systems to become less tolerant to gluten over time. Many types of sensitivity or allergies arise in older people who never had a problem. I don’t see why you are focusing on anything but the fact that after years of my sensitivity to gluten, for whatever reason , it has disappeared after a bout of antibiotics. What i’ve read is antibiotics can make gluten sensitivity worse. In any event, in my case, if I can still eat all the wheat products I want with no reaction after a month or more since my hospital stay this is something that should be investigated. Time will tell.

      I had a UTI, blood cultures are standard to insure that the infection does not get in the bloodstream which can lead to sepsis and death. In my case there was bacteria in my blood which necessitated 48 hours of antibiotic IV

      Hi Cameo674. just read your post. Well wishes to a correct diagnosis so that you can get on track to healing and feeling better. Personally I know it’s good to have the eosinophilic disorder ruled out too, as this can show anti-ttg igA antibodies too. But usually without the anti-gliadin antibodies unless gliadin is an allergen for you. Thanks for posting the link to look up SNPs rs… numbers on another post. Was useful. Looking at your result, ”Celiac Associated HLD-DQ Typing: DQA1* Value: 05; DQA1*DQA11 Value: 05; DQB1* Value: 02; DQB1-DQB11 Value: 02; Celiac Gene Pairs Present Value: Yes; Celiac HLA Interpretation Value: These genes are permissive for celiac disease.  However, these...
