I went shopping yesterday in Shoprite. I found soooooo much stuff that is gluten free. The Passover stuff is being put out, I am not sure when Passover is, but the food is going out. There are items that say gluten free right on the box. Last nite I made Liebers Scalloped Potatoes from a BOX!! I usually make them by hand and yest I love them my way, but to be able to open up a box and add water and butter and bake.. wowie! They tasted pretty darn good too. (not better than my own of course :P ) I bought a few cake mixes, onion soup mix by Osem which says gluten free right on the container, Gefen puts out all kinds of pasta.. elbows, shells, zitis. I of course, got the egg noodles too! I was a mad woman in there!! It was great. The rabbi had a blast going thru all the stuff with me.. hehehehe, he was so happy to help me and to explain some of the religious stuff behind all kosher and glatt kosher to me. I had a great time! what an outing... to the grocery store!

Hooray for Passover!

Just be careful, as not all Kosher-for-Passover things are gluten-free. If it contains matzo meal, matzo flour, ground matzo, or matzo starch (and sometimes it's spelled, "matzah"), it still comes from wheat!

Enjoy!

Also, if you don't have an Asian store nearby (Asian stores are great places to stock up cheaply on rice flour, tapioca starch, and potato starch), this is the time to stock up on potato starch. The Manischevitz brand is what you usually see in the Passover section, and it's much cheaper than Bob's Red Mill.

I only bought the items that specifically said gluten free on the boxes. And of course, double checked the ingredients. I tried the scalloped potatoes and they were good... I havent tried any of the cake mixes and they come with a frosting pack right in the box. Again the box says gluten free and I double checked the ingredients. Alot of Kosher items do contain matzo meal in some form, so we have to be careful, but remember egg noodles are gluten free!!!! Manshieviwitz (sp) brand. YAY

Not all Manshiewitz egg noodles are gluten free, only the passover noodles are according to their website. If only my Wal-mart would start stocking their shelves for passover... They really have gluten free cake mixes??? At a normal grocery store??? That would be so wonderful!

Wow, I never even thought to check the label of the egg noodles! What starch do they use? Potato?

Yes, they are the manishevitz (sp?) gold premium ONLY! They are specifically for Passover only. And yes cake mixes with the frosting packs right in the box, and gluten free is written boldly in yellow on the box!! I bought a crispy chicken coating, which again speificallly states gluten free.. and a honey glaze chicken, cheaper than the one bbq one we can have from shake n bake. The egg noodles do use potato instead of wheat, but its only this time of year. Gefen makes all kinds of noodles, shells, elbows, etc.. I bought a few of them they are a lot cheaper than Tinkyada, probably not nearly as good, but I will take ok too! The store I shopped in was a ShopRite, the one in Mercer, out by Princeton in New Jersey..

I discovered last month that Vons stocks some gluten free items. There is this little section of the baking aisle in our local Vons with gluten free cake and muffin mixes and flours and things like Almond Milk. They also stock a couple of the special gluten-free cereal brands in their cereal aisle. When I saw the little section in the baking aisle though I started to cry. I don't as a rule shop there becasue they're prices are so much higher, but I now shop there once every couple weeks for the special stuff.

I also found a sweet potato pancake mix in the international aisle with the passover foods that is gluten free and not bad tasting. It makes a nice side dish at dinner :)

Isn't it amazing how just finding something you can eat in a grocery store brightens your whole day?

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      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!

      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.
