I've heard alot of good things about Trader Joe's. We are going to take a trip there this weekend. What are your favorite gluten-free products? I'm also dairy free, so no cheeses and such please!

The have a sweet rice flour that makes a really great breading for chicken. Sharon's coconut sorbet is really good. I also like their dolmas, tomato basil hummus..oh, and banana waffles LOL. They have a carribean soup in a jar that's pretty good too.

In the winter they have the world's best dairy-free chocolate truffles. Don't know if they'd be there now though. Hmmm....I haven't been to Trader's in a while. They do keep a gluten-free list on their website.

The chicken taquitos (their brand), and the blueberry ice cream (not their brand. can't remember what it is, but it comes in a purpleish blue container and has a little rainbow on it).

The Veggie and Flaxseed Tortilla Chips and the Pineapple salsa are favorites in my family. We also like the Chicken Taquitos. The praline pecans are a nice treat to have in the cupboard when you want a sweet bite.

Have fun at Trader Joes:)

There's a list of their gluten-free ingredients here:

Their labeling policy is very comprehensive.

I love their peach salsa.

They carry very different things from coast to coast - I can't get most of the stuff that people talk about on here, but what I do like ar the praline pecans (yum!) and the pampadums (some kind of Indian "chip" - read ingredients b/c I think only one flavor is gluten-free) and the cherries (in a jar near the jams - these are yummy on ice cream or waffles!). I don't like their waffles - Van's are much better. They have a decent bagel (in the fresh section at mine, but I froze them when I got home) - not like a regular bagel but much better than glutino or whatever that kind that Whole Foods sells in the freezer. I love their rice pudding, but I think you said dairy free? They also have good chicken sausages in the meat section, and great cheeses (agin, dairy issue).

I loved the papadums, but BEWARE. I won't eat them anymore. When I first tried them they were ok. But after reading that there is wheat in the Masala variety, I realized why I had started reacting to the Yogurt Dill variety, as they are made on the same equipment. I hate it when they do that!

We love the waffles, flaxseed tortilla chips, sweet potato chips, brown rice tortillas, and peanut butter. Recently, my TJs started carrying gluten free pancakes (in freezer section) that DH says are awesome. (I didn't get a chance to taste them, cuz he snarfed them all in 2 days!!)

Thanks for all the great suggestions! I love salty snacks and I'm looking forward to a bagel that resembles a bagel, not a hockey puck! I can't wait to go! Some of the meat items sound good, too. I am going to spend a fortune!

Has anyone tried Trader Joe's soups in a carton? A friend was kind enough to pick up a few things she thought were gluten free for me when she went down to the nearest Trader Joes yesterday. While there appears to be no gluten in the soups all the labels say they're made on equipment shared with wheat. This makes me extremely uncomfortable. I appreciate her effort if nothing else. Has anyone else has any experience with Trader Joe's soups?

Why oh why do companies go to all the trouble to make allergen free products and then use possibly contaiminated equipment? It makes no sense.

It seems like TJs labels every product with that statement. I eat their stuff with that label, but definitely avoid it if it makes you uncomfortable. What kind of soup is it?

TJ's praline pecans are probably my favorite thing ever. They are so good it's ridiculous. So decadent... soooo yummy!!!

Brown rice penne and they have a basmati and wild rice blend that has dehydrated veggies but no seasoning. I use it in porcupine meatballs and to stuff peppers with or cold with some vinagrette and pecans and chopped apple or dried cranberries for a rice salad.

Meatballs with rice instead of breadcrumbs. When the rice cooks it pokes out of the meatballs like the spikes on a porcupine. I'll post the recipie in the cooking section. The TJ's basmati blend adds a little extra flavor.

I love their brown rice pasta, banana and regular waffles, hummus, chocolate covered sunflower seeds, and of course the cheap wine ;). I also pick up redbridge there because it is a couple $$ cheaper than at Whole Foods. I just love TJs :)

      There are eight essential B vitamins. They are all water soluble. Any excess of B vitamins is easily excreted by the kidneys. Thiamine is Vitamin B 1. Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses. Benfotiamine and TTFD are forms of Thiamine that the body can utilize very easily. The form of Thiamine in the supplements you mentioned is...

      Thanks very interesting I have to see if I should take these 2 vitamins along with my multi and super Vit B complex or if its too much or would hurt me. I don't have any other health issues but would love to see if this improves anything especially to feel stronger build muscle.

I noticed only possible side affect is possibly the first week so body adjusts. Life Extensions carries Benfotiamine with Thiamine and the mega one you mentioned. Not sure if both in one is better or seperate. some reviews state a laxative affect as side affect. SHould I take with my super B complex or just these 2 and multivitamin? I will do further research but I appreciate the wonderful explanation you provided on Thiamine.

HLA DQ 2 and HLA DQ 8 show up in people from Northern European descent.   People of Mediterranean descent have HLA DQ 7.  People of Asian descent have HLA DQ 9.   There's other Indigenous populations that have other HLA genes that code for Celiac disease.   Are you still having symptoms?   What do you include in your diet?  Are you vegetarian? Are you taking any prescription medication?  Omeprazole?  Metformin?   Do you have anemia?  Thyroid problems? Are you taking any vitamins or herbal supplements?

      There are eight essential B vitamins.  They are all water soluble.  Any excess of B vitamins is easily excreted by the kidneys.   Thiamine is Vitamin B 1.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Benfotiamine and TTFD are forms of Thiamine that the body can utilize very easily.   The form of Thiamine in the supplements you mentioned is Thiamine Mononitrate, a form that the body does not absorb well and does not utilize well.  Only about thirty percent of the amount on the label is actually absorbed in the small intestine.  Less than that can actually be used by the body.  Manufacturers add thiamine mononitrate to their products because it's cheap and shelf-stable.  Thiamine and other B vitamins break down when exposed to light and heat and over time.  Thiamine Mononitrate is a form that does not break down over time sitting on a shelf waiting for someone to buy them.  What makes Thiamine Mononitrate shelf stable makes it difficult for the body to turn into a useable form.  In fact, it takes more thiamine to turn it into a useable form.   Gastrointestinal Beriberi is a localized shortage of Thiamine in the gastrointestinal tract.  High carbohydrate meals can result in gastrointestinal symptoms of Gastric Beriberi.  Fiber is a type of carbohydrate.  So, high fiber/carbohydrate snacks could trigger Gastric Beriberi.   Since blood tests for Thiamine and other B vitamins are so inaccurate, the World Health Organization recommends trying Thiamine and looking for health improvement because it's safe and nontoxic.
