Ah I can not believe my eyes..... :rolleyes:

I went to super target ... ( and my local publix ) and I found the pamelas mixes ..... kinniknick .. bobs ... gluten free pasta noodles.... The stuff seems cheaper than at whole foods.... But I am in shock ..... there were cake mixes ... and brownie mixes... all gluten free.

I just wanted to share..... I think its great. maybe by the time my toddler is 10 .... gluten free will start to become a mainstream consideration... that is a big step to have all that stuff at super target and publix..... I am just suprised..... happy but suprised.

I have gotten gluten-free products at Giant, Kroger, Harris Teeter, Farm Fresh, Safeway, Ukrops,.....

it IS great to see them in so many places! It is so much more mainstream even from 2.5 years ago when I was dx'ed.

I work at a Star market , part of Albertsons. There are more and more people buying gluten-free products and as that number increases the choices of items are growing. I worked in a smaller store for years, and they had pasta , cookies, flour ,xanthum gum and a lot of basics, I was transfered to a larger store and can buy frozen pizza dough, english muffins and a lot more stuff. Every month or so there seems to be more new stuff. As I've traveled to different parts of the country it seems like there is always some section for the gluten-free individual.

The only mainstream grocery store in our area that has any specialty gluten-free food is one called Super 1. They carry Bob's Red Mill stuff and Tinkyada pasta. Safeway and Super Wal-Mart have nothing. :angry: Fortunately, we have a small health foods store, kind of a mini Whole Foods, that carries a lot of gluten-free food and actually has it cheaper than Super 1.

Meijer has a very large selection of gluten free products! They carry Glutino, Tinkyada, Amy's, Chebe, EnviroKids... It was so great to find all the things I buy right at my grocery store. They don't seem to be much cheaper than Wild Oats, but at least it saves a trip!

I have seen many gluten-free products in Meijier, Kroger & Giant Eagle. Gluten-free Pantry, Glutino, Cherrybrook Kitchen, Enjoy Life, Tinkyada, Mi-Del, Bob's Red Mill are some of the ones I have seen.

I find gluten-free products at Wegmans (fantastic selection), Shop Rite, and until recently--Acme. They have completely remodeled the store, and at the same time, stopped carrying The Gluten Free Pantry and Bob's Red Mill and the few others that they offered.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      How do I contact someone at celiac.com concerning the cessation of my weekly e-newsletter? I had been receiving it regularly for years. When I tried to sign-up on the website, my email was not accepted. I tried again with a new email address and that was rejected as well. Thank you in advance!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.
