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..

      Nausea

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight. My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet. I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now. He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs. It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc. It's literally neurological inflammation. Not to be taken lightly here. We...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-F...

      Nausea

      Hi all I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also]. BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering...

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you
