Hi and Welcome. :D

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.

Hi & welcome

If you research on this site for a couple of minutes in the last ten days or so there have been several newbies seeking the very same info. Several made extensive listing on those threads.

Please check them out because they will give you alot of info to start out with....

Also I think the recipe section is one of the best so be sure to spend some time on that section. It is well worth the time, we have some of the finest gluten-free cooks on here!!!!

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions to it, so different for everyone.

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      Great advise there I agree with the aniexty part, and the aura migraine has I suffer both, I've also read some great books that have helped I'm going too look the one you mentioned up too thankyou for that, I find a camomile tea just a small one and a gentle wind down before bed has helped me too, I suffer from restless leg syndrome and nerve pain hence I don't always sleep well at the best of times , racing mind catches up I have decorated my whole house in one night in my mind before 🤣 diet changes mindset really help , although I have to say it never just disappears, I find once I came to terms with who I am I managed a lot better  , a misconception is for many to change , that means to heal but that's not always the case , understanding and finding your coping mechanisms are vital tools , it's more productive to find that because there is no failure then no pressure to become something else , it's ok to be sad it's ok to not sleep , it's ok to worry , just try to see it has a journey not a task 🤗

      I agree there I've tryed this myself to prove I can't eat gluten or lactose and it sets me back for about a month till I have to go back to being very strict to settle again

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
