Great Value Scalloped Potatoes & Au Gratin Potatoes

Hi everyone. I am new to this forum and found it while I was trying to find a way to contact Wal-Mart.

Great Value Scalloped Potatoes & Au Gratin Potatoes are boldly labeled "GLUTEN - FREE" but my digestive system says otherwise. I don't see anything on the label that sends up red flags, but I really don't believe the product is as gluten free as they claim. :(

I have seen other posts that people sent e-mails to Wal-Mart. I couldn't find their e-mail address on the package or on their web site. Does anyone happen to have it handy?

Thanks in advance!

In the past I regularly bought the Great Value brand Au Gratin and Scalloped potatoes and I never once felt glutened by them. I'm relatively sensitive, so I've always put them on my gluten safe list since I've never had a reaction to them. GV brand items have been a staple in my diet since my second year into the diagnosis and so far so good. Perhaps you're reacting to something else in them? I'm sorry I don't have an e-mail address for them.

GV brand is great for saving money on a gluten-free diet. We love the augratin potatoes, just wish I could convince my sister in law to buy that brand. She doesn't understand that from one brand to another of the same dish can be or not be gluten-free.

How long have you been gluten-free? You may be having a problem with the dairy.

Also, I always make my potatoes in the same dish. Only a rice caserole that I make gets put in the same one. If I were to have a problem with that dish, those are the only two items that I would have trouble with. Are you using a dish/pan that may have been scratched up? Or is there something in that process that you do/use only when you make au gratin potatoes?

You can contact Wal-Mart at 1-800-Wal-Mart (of course!!) and I'm sure probably get transferred a dozen times but it's the only place I know to start.

Have to agree with the other people.........I was one that has been bragging about the GV gluten-free potatoes from a box that WalMart has now. I love them, eat them and am fine every time. Can't imagine why you would be reacting to them this way. I trust that WalMart is right when they say their products are gluten-free, or they could be in a lot of trouble. Barbara

Thanks for all the replies. It's definitely not the dairy. All I know is I am crossing out the "gluten free" on the boxes and donating them to my church pantry.

Is this product in a box on shelf or frozen food?

I think it is a shelf food if I am not mistaken. I wouldn't cross the gluten free off the box. It might be just be something that is bothering you. There are some products which are gluten free that some people do have reactions to.

i completely trust walmart's GV brand labeling. i THINK that they are very diligent about it and won't even list something gluten free if it is gluten free but made in a facility that uses gluten. we read the labels and love to be able to see GLUTEN FREE----but we still buy some of the Gv products that don't say gluten free as long as the ingredients look safe.

      Blood Test for Celiac wheat type matters?

      Wheatwacked, are you speaking of the use of potassium bromide and and azodicarbonamide as dough modifiers being controlling factor for what? Do you refer to celiac reactions to gluten or thyroid disease, kidney disease, GI cancers?

      Blood Test for Celiac wheat type matters?

      In Europe they have banned several dough modifiers potassium bromide and and azodicarbonamide. Both linked to cancers. Studies have linked potassium bromide to kidney, thyroid, and gastrointestinal cancers. A ban on it in goes into effect in California in 2027. I suspect this, more than a specific strain of wheat to be controlling factor. Sourdough...

      need help understanding testing result for Naked Nutrition Creatine please

      They don’t give a sample size (serving size is different from sample size) so it is hard to tell just what the result means. However, the way the result is presented does look like it is below the limit of what their test can measure, so that is good.

      Excess iodine supplements can cause significant health issues, primarily disrupting thyroid function. My daughter has issues with even small amounts of dietary iodine. While iodine is essential for thyroid hormone production, consistently consuming amounts far above the tolerable upper limit (1,100 mcg/day for adults) from high-dose supplements can trigger both hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism, worsen autoimmune thyroid diseases like Hashimoto's, and lead to goiter. Other side effects include gastrointestinal distress. The risk is highest for individuals with pre-existing thyroid conditions, and while dietary iodine rarely reaches toxic levels, unsupervised high-dose supplementation is dangerous and should only be undertaken with medical guidance to avoid serious complications. It's best to check with your doctor before supplementing iodine.

      In Europe they have banned several dough modifiers potassium bromide and and azodicarbonamide.  Both linked to cancers.  Studies have linked potassium bromide to kidney, thyroid, and gastrointestinal cancers.  A ban on it in goes into effect in California in 2027. I suspect this, more than a specific strain of wheat to be controlling factor.  Sourdough natural fermentation conditions the dough without chemicals. Iodine was used in the US as a dough modifier until the 1970s. Since then iodine intake in the US dropped 50%.  Iodine is essential for thyroid hormones.  Thyroid hormone use for hypothyroidism has doubled in the United States from 1997 to 2016.   Clinical Thyroidology® for the Public In the UK, incidently, prescriptions for the thyroid hormone levothyroxine have increased by more than 12 million in a decade.  The Royal Pharmaceutical Society's official journal Standard thyroid tests will not show insufficient iodine intake.  Iodine 24 Hour Urine Test measures iodine excretion over a full day to evaluate iodine status and thyroid health. 75 year old male.  I tried adding seaweed into my diet and did get improvement in healing, muscle tone, skin; but in was not enough and I could not sustain it in my diet at the level intake I needed.  So I supplement 600 mcg Liquid Iodine (RDA 150 to 1000 mcg) per day.  It has turbocharged my recovery from 63 years of undiagnosed celiac disease.  Improvement in healing a non-healing sebaceous cyst. brain fog, vision, hair, skin, nails. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis celiac disease experience exacerbation of the rash with iodine. The Wolff-Chaikoff Effect Crying Wolf?
