Calling Kroger Shoppers

We got a gift card for Kroger's but we don't shop there. As I need a baked ham for NY day, I need to know if anyone who does shop there (and eats ham) knows if they offer a gluten free baked ham. I already had to scratch my first idea of getting one from Honeybaked - wheat starch right on the label. Ay ya ya............it never ends.

Kroger does have an 800 number, don't have it on me, and they are really quite knowledgeable and helpful. I have rarely, if ever, had any problems with Kroger brand stuff.

Don't know if this helps or not. We have a Kroger nearby but I went to another regional chain and wrote down the the brands that they carried then looked them up on the web and called a few. Of the ones I was able to get good info. on, Hillshire Farms explained their labeling practices and said they'd clearly state any wheat on labels. I'd feel comfortable purchasing their product. But have to say that I didn't go back and check the ingredients. It's one to keep am eye out for. I ended up purchasing a Harper's Country Ham. I tried to get info on Tyson and Carolia Pride but was unsuccessful.

Ham is very, very easy. If it doesn't list wheat, it's gluten-free. That really is all you need to know.

The spiral cut hams are a lot like honey baked, but they have a packet of glaze that has wheat in it. The ham is fine the glaze is not. So you just have to make your own glaze.

My Kroger carries Hormel Cure 81 ham which is gluten free. I baked it in an oven bag and made a very simple glaze. I was amazed at how easy it was and everyone liked it better than our traditional HoneyBaked!

Can you give us the recipe for your glaze? I would like to have a glaze recipe. Thanks for the information!

If you live in the south, you could probably just get some salt-cured ham. MUCH better than that "slimy" other stuff, in my opinion. I know the Kroger that I go to in Central KY has it...a holiday dinner must!

dragonmom, I would love your recipe for glaze! I have a gift certificate to honey baked hams but without the glaze, I don't like ham.

The glaze I used sounds almost too simple, but was sooo good - just mix 1-1/4 cups dark brown sugar with 1/4 dijon mustard. Here's how I prepped the ham:

Lightly score the ham in a diamond pattern.

Insert whole cloves in center of each diamond (optional). I didn't use them.

Place ham (cut side down) with 20-oz can of pineapple tidbits and juice in oven bag.

Set sealed bag in a foil-lined roasting pan and heat in 325 oven for about 1 hour.

Remove ham from bag, reserving pineapple and juice.

Place ham directly in foil-lined roasting pan and brush with prepared glaze.

(The glaze will naturally run downward as it heats, so I brush it extra thick on top.)

Continue to heat ham uncovered for 30 minutes.

Carve and serve, using reserved pineapple and juice to spoon over slices if desired.

The oven bag helps keep the ham moist, and lining the roasting pan with foil makes cleanup much easier as the glaze will permanently attach itself to the pan otherwise! Enjoy!!!

I found out Kroger has a spiral cut Brown Sugar Ham that is gluten free. That is what I'll use for NY day. It appears that the glaze is on this ham, yet it is still gluten free. If I find out otherwise after opening, I will make my own glaze - thanks for the recipe.

      In the study linked above, the little girl switched to a gluten free diet and gained enough weight that that fat pad was replenished and surgery was not needed.   Here's the full article link...

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
