Hi and Welcome.

If you pm Noglugirl, she has a list she's put together that I believe is what you are looking for.

Hi--

It actually is easy to eat completely free shopping at a normal grocery store, and more and more places are catering to the gluten free community (at Starbucks they had 3 different brands and several flavors of gluten free granola bars!!!).

Kraft will disclose any gluten, as will most companies. Here is my shopping list:

EnviroKidz cereal or granola bars (ie Gorilla Munch)

Health valley Rice Chexs

plain rice (either boil in bag or just unflavored bags of brown or white rice)

Old El Paso hard taco shells

salsa

Taco Bell refried beans (or I make my own)

Thai Kitchen noodle carts

McCormick seasoning

Classic Lays potato chips

Tostidos tortilla chips

fresh fruit

fresh/canned veggies

almonds

chicken/beef/pork

string cheese

unflavored coffee

eggs

Pretty much, if it comes in a box, it contains gluten. It is frustrating at first, but you will get used to it fast. I can cook any meal from scratch in less than 30 minutes, so if you post what you are craving, one of us probably has the recipe.

Here are some popular gluten free food lists: Open Original Shared Link

Hi!

Walmart's Great Value brand will say "Gluten Free" and/or list wheat.

As for regular food, it's best to stick with the brands that will clearly list their gluten. I'll post a link to a large list of those brands. I gave this list to my son's childcare provider and it made her life so much easier. There are also companies that maintain gluten free lists online such as Frito-Lay, Newman's own, Heinz/Ore-Ida and Hormel. If there are specific foods that you love that you think might be gluten free, then it's best to call the company directly. I wish you luck with the diet change, it does get easier. It doesn't seem hard at all when I go shopping now, and we are only five months in.
