Went to Wegmans for the first time today, which is around PA,NY,VA as far as i know... They have an isle with gluten-free stuff, which is bigger than the gluten-free isle in the health store! and ALOT cheaper! The same bread thats 5.99 in our health food store is 3.49 in wegmans, SAME brand size everything.. lots of other good stuff and Wegmans grocery store brands all list allergens including wheat on the ingredients marked "A-allergens"... NOW I can eat real foods! i should say, now i can AFFORD to eat real foods ;)

don't forget to carefully read the ingredient labels on the ones marked as being allergen free - wheat free does *NOT* mean gluten free, as it could still have barley, rye, or oats.

The Wegmans brand puts Gluten-Free on their product so look for the G in the orange circle on the front of the product. Wheat free may not mean is is gluten-free. They are very good at labeling their product. The prices are decent. Tinkyada pasta is on sale a lot for 2.50 a bag which is far less than I pay in health food stores around here.

This is my favorite store!

I have to add my shout out to Wegmans :D I was just there yesterday. I love that store--I have no need to go to Whole Foods or the health food store anymore.

I find their prices fair, the selection excellent and I have not yet had a problem with any of their own products marked gluten-free.

I even get my Shikai haircare, Jason toothpaste, Zia and Badger stuff there--truly one stop!

I do agree, though--always read the ingredient list to be sure, and look for the orange G. ;) Even Wegman's advises this--

Open Original Shared Link

Their gluten-free list is updated regularly, and can be seen by clicking on "gluten free list" in the above link. :)

JerseyAngel-

I was there too yesterday, the store had a lot of Holiday products to offer for all tastes. I always see new products in the gluten-free section too. They now carry the Glutino frozen mac and cheese, and penne with mushroom sauce meals. These come in good when you want a quick meal.

The produce section in that store is amazing.

:D So you were there, too! Too bad we don't shop at the same location--we could meet for some tea. :)

I know--their frozen selection is amazing--I can't eat most of it because of other intolerances--but it's great for others on the gluten-free diet.

Love the produce--lots of organic, and the prices are really not bad.

Does your store have the huge kitchenware/giftware/china dept? We saw lots of beautiful things there--very nice quality and different. Not at all what you'd expect to see at a grocery store. :)

I usually shop at the Scranton store which is an older store but does have the kitchen section. The holiday section was amazing, so much to choose from. They always make their store so presentable. Their newer stores are amazing. We sometimes shop at the Hunt Valley, MD store. It is so much bigger than the Scranton store. You can eat upstairs and overlook the Cafe area.

That would be a lot of fun to meet for some tea. My fiance loves to get frozen Chai drinks when we go.

I worked for Wegmans for a while before my pregnancy turned not so good. They truly do care about all allergies to foods. Even in their pre made sections.. the chefs are all educated (well are supposed to be, I guess there can always be an exception) they offer quite a bit. In all the new Wegmans are the kitchen sections, holiday sections, even aisles for things from different countries, ie, Mexico, India, Britian etc... It makes shopping there such a joy.

I wasnt diagnosed while I was there, so I didnt get to use the gluten free marker at all, now I love it. They also mark lactose free and vegetarian. So it helps a variety of people. I know that Wegmans is spreading out all over the east coast. They are currently in NJ, NY, PA, and VA. I know that they are currently still working on stores in these states, but I wouldnt be surprised if they went further. I doubt they would ever go any further east as the company is totally family run and they want to be able to access any store at any time. If anyone ever gets the chance to work in Wegmans, I would highly suggest it.

I heart Wegman's!

I am so sad that I'm moving away from mine, but I heard they recently opened one in Hunt Valley, MD.

I have been to Hunt Valley and it is very nice :) You'll like it. I work at a hospital currently and although I love my job, I would probably leave it in a heart beat to work at Wegmans, I hear they are very good to their employees and the turn over rate is very low in their company. I know I always have a positive trip to their stores.

I'll have to say I wasn't so impressed w/ Wegman's gluten-free section. They didn't have much that I can't find closer to home (our new Wegman's in Warrington, PA is about a 20 min. drive). Plus... I was getting their weekly emails w/ recipes especially for Celiacs. I started writing to them immediately cause the stuff they were suggesting could easily NOT be gluten-free and they weren't cautioning anyone to read ingredients (one being gorgonzola cheese)! I heard nothing back from them.

Wow- I had a Celiac meal come with the print at the bottom that said, use this instead due to CC or wheat. Sorry to hear you didn't enjoy the store. I find price wise, I do better going there.

      Is this celiac?

      I was not taking any medications previous to this. I was a healthy 49 yo with some mild stomach discomfort. I noticed the onset of tinnitus earlier this year and I had Covid at the end of June.

      Is this celiac?

      Welcome to the forum, @Hmart! There are other medical conditions besides celiac disease that can cause villous atrophy as well as some medications and for some people, the dairy protein casein. So, your question is a valid one. Especially in view of the fact that your antibody testing was negative, though there are also some seronegative celiacs. So...

      Is this celiac?

      The symptoms that led to my diagnosis were stomach pain, diarrhea, nausea, body/nerve tingling and burning and chills. It went away after about four days but led me to a gastro who did an upper endo and found I had marsh 3b. I did the blood test for celiac and it came back negative. I have gone gluten free. In week 1 I had a flare-up that was similar to...

      I was not taking any medications previous to this. I was a healthy 49 yo with some mild stomach discomfort. I noticed the onset of tinnitus earlier this year and I had Covid at the end of June. My first ‘flare-up’ with these symptoms was in August and I was eating gluten like normal. I had another flare-up in September and then got an upper endo at the end of September that showed possible celiac. My blood test came a week later. While I didn’t stop eating gluten before I had the blood test, I had cut back on food and gluten both. I had a flare-up with this symptoms after one week of gluten free but wasn’t being crazy careful. Then I had another flare-up this week. I think it might have been caused by Trader Joe’s baked tofu which I didn’t realize had wheat. But I don’t know if these flare-ups are caused by gluten or if there’s something else going on. I am food journaling and tracking all symptoms. I have lost 7 pounds in the last 10 days.

So, your question is a valid one. Especially in view of the fact that your antibody testing was negative, though there are also some seronegative celiacs. So, do you get reactions every time you consume gluten? If you were to purposely consume a slice of bread would you be certain to develop the symptoms you describe?

      I only went on the multi vitamin AFTER a couple of year of high dose, targeted supplementation resolved most of my deficiencies.  I was on quite a cocktail of vitamins that was changed every 6 months as my deficiencies resolved.  Those that were determined to be genetic are still addressed with specific doses of those vitamins, minerals and amino acids. I have an update on my husband and his A Fib.  He ended up in the hospital in August 2025 when his A Fib would not convert.  He took the maximum dose of Flecainide allowed within a 24 hour period.  It was a nightmare experience!  They took him into the ER immediately.  They put in a line, drew blood, did an EKG and chest Xray all within minutes.  Never saw another human for 6 hours.  Never got any results, but obviously we could see he was still in A fib by watching the monitor.  They have the family sign up for text alerts at the ER desk.  So glad I did.  That is the only way we found out that he was being admitted.  About an hour after that text someone came to take him to his room on an observation floor.  We were there two hours before we saw another human being and believe it or not that was by zoom on the TV in the room.  It was admissions wanting to know his vaccine status and confirming his insurance, which we provided at the ER desk.  They said someone would be in and finally a nurse arrived.  He was told a hospitalist was in charge of his case.  Finally the NP for the hospitalist showed up and my husband literally blew his stack.  He got so angry and yelled at this poor woman, but it was exactly what he needed to convert himself to sinus rhythm while she was there.  They got an EKG machine and confirmed it.  She told him that they wanted to keep him overnight and would do an echo in the morning and they were concerned about a wound on his leg and wanted to do a doppler to make sure he did not have a DVT.  He agreed.  The echo showed everything fine, just as it was at his annual check up in June and there was no DVT.  A cardiologist finally showed up to discharge him and after reviewing his history said the A Fib was due to the Amoxicillan prescribed for his leg wound.  It both triggers A Fib and prevents the Flecainide from working.  His conversion coincided with the last dose of antibiotic getting out of his system.  So, make sure your PCP understands what antibiotics you can or cannot take if susceptible to A Fib.  This cardiologist (not his regular) wanted him on Metoprolol 25 mg and Pradaxa.  My husband told him that his cardiologist axed the idea of a beta blocker because his heart rate is already low.  Sure enough, it dropped to 42 on the Metoprolol and my husband felt horrible.  The pradaxa gave him a full body rash!  He went back to his cardiologist for follow up and his BP was fine and heart rate in the mid 50's.  He also axed the Pradaxa since my husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation.   Oh and I forgot to say the hospital bill was over $26,000.  Houston Methodist!

It went away after about four days but led me to a gastro who did an upper endo and found I had marsh 3b. I did the blood test for celiac and it came back negative.  I have gone gluten free. In week 1 I had a flare-up that was similar to my original symptoms. I got more careful/serious. Now at the end of week 2 I had another flare-up. These symptoms seem to get more intense. My questions:  1. How do I know if I have celiac and not something else? 2. Are these symptoms what others experience from gluten?  When I have a flare-up it’s completely debilitating. Can’t sleep, can’t eat, can’t move. Body just shakes. I have lost 10 pounds since going gluten free in the last two weeks.
