New gluten-free Products At Whole Foods

The Whole Foods in Marlton, NJ just started carrying some new own-name cereals, including a gluten-free version of Cocoa Puffs called Cocoa Comets. They also have a rice krispy cereal with strawberries in it - it's been out of stock, so I don't know if it's gluten-free, but their regular rice krispy cereal (in the orange box) is gluten-free.

The store also has a new line of gluten-free baking cake, bread and other mixes that are priced a bit lower than gluten-free Pantry - I compared the ingredient labels for a few of them with gluten-free Pantry and they were exactly the same - it's probable that gluten-free Pantry makes it and puts Whole Food's name on the box.

I bought a corn bread to try but haven't made it yet. Yes, prices are cheaper ...

Yeah, my son loves cocoa puffs! Now if they could only make fruit loops... I hope my store will start carrying the new products soon.

My grandma surprised me yesterday and had made me chocolate chip cookies. They tasted EXACTLY like non- gluten free cookies! They were amazing! So I asked her what brand they were and they are the Whole foods brand!

My Whole Foods got rid of all of the Gluten Free Pantry products and replaced them with their own brand. I'm so mad about it. We have enough trouble finding products that we really like - they have to go and make it harder? How about giving us more options and not less? I would have liked to be able to make the choice of whether or not I wanted Whole Foods brand or not. Guess I will just be ordering directly from GFP.

Like I mentioned in the original post, since many, if not all of the products have identical ingredient lists and nutritional info, my guess is that Gluten Free Pantry is making these mixes directly for Whole Foods.

I'm going to email them to find out. I've looked at both websites and no one mentions it. I'll post the reply when it comes.

Just talked to Whole Foods (Jericho, NY) and they confirmed that Gluten Free Pantry is indeed making those products for them. I wonder why they changed some of the ingredients then. You would think they would just repackage in the Whole Foods packaging. That's what made me think they weren't the same.

Whole Foods in Marlton, NJ finally got in the store brand Rice Krispies and Rice Krispies with Strawberries - they are not gluten-free - they contain malt. They seem to have replaced the private label rice krispies in the orange box (which were gluten-free).

On the plus side, they started carrying Ian's button cookies - the chocolate chip and cinnamon flavors are gluten-free. They come in individual portion control packs for lunchboxes.

Yes I have tried the Whole foods brand Brownie mix and it does taste a lot better than the other gluten-free brownie mixes out there even better than Bob Mills and Pamela's. I also tried the cornbread muffin mix and my daughter and husband who can't stand when I make our dinner Gluten free they could not tell and loved the meal that I made and had 2nds. I can't wait for my brownies again, no oil is required which I did better with too.

Thanks for this post, I am going to look for these products next time I take a trip to my WF.

I like the sound of them being a little bit cheaper :D

Good to know! DD has been in the dumps about cereal lately. This should help cheer her up!

I also like the 365 brand of gluten-free products so far! I am, however upset they stopped carrying the BIG bag of Pamela's baking mix :( I was buying that stuff A LOT for all kinds of baking.

I need more options for eating though.

      @Jmartes71, Sorry you've been feeling so poorly. Are you taking any medication to treat the SIBO? Are you taking any Benfotiamine? Benfotiamine will help get control of the SIBO. Thiamine deficiency has symptoms in common with MS. Have you had your gas appliances checked for gas leaks and exhaust fume leaks? Carbon Monoxide poisoning...

      Blood Test for Celiac wheat type matters?

      European wheat is often a "soft wheat" variety which contains less gluten than "hard wheat" varieties found in the States. In European countries, different cooking methods and longer fermentation (rising or proofing) times allow for further breakdown of gluten peptides. Wheat in the States is a blend of hard and soft wheat. Gluten content can...

      Severe severe mouth pain

      From my own experience and that of others who have tried to discontinue PPI use, I think your taper down plan is much too aggressive. It took me months of very incremental tapering to get to the point where I felt I was succeeding and even then I had to rely some days on TUMS to squelch flareups. After about a year I felt I had finally won the battle. Rebound...

      Severe severe mouth pain

      Talk to your doctor about switching to an antihistamine, and supplementing essential vitamins and minerals. Dietary changes (low carb/paleo) may be beneficial for you. Have you talked to a dietician or nutritionist about a nutrient dense gluten free diet? It's harder to get all the vitamins needed from a gluten free diet. Gluten containing products are...

      Severe severe mouth pain

      I’m pretty sure they do. I have been on myfortic, tacrolimus since 2021 for my liver transplant and added prednisone after kidney transplant. I’m going to try to cut back omeprazole to 20 mg a day and then after a week try to stop altogether. Thank you for your help.

      @Jmartes71, Sorry you've been feeling so poorly.   Are you taking any medication to treat the SIBO?   Are you taking any Benfotiamine?  Benfotiamine will help get control of the SIBO.  Thiamine deficiency has symptoms in common with MS. Have you had your gas appliances checked for gas leaks and exhaust fume leaks?  Carbon Monoxide poisoning can cause the same symptoms as the flu and glutening.  Doctors have to check venous blood (not arterial) for carbon monoxide.  Are other inhabitants sick, or just you?  Do they leave the house and get fresh air which relieves their symptoms?

      European wheat is often a "soft wheat" variety which contains less gluten than "hard wheat" varieties found in the States.   In European countries, different cooking methods and longer  fermentation (rising or proofing) times allow for further breakdown of gluten peptides. Wheat in the States is a blend of hard and soft wheat.  Gluten content can vary according to where the wheat was grown, growing conditions, when harvested, and local preference, so a blend of both hard and soft wheat is used to make a uniform product.   I moved around quite a bit as a child in a military family.  I had different reactions to gluten in different areas of the country every time we moved.  I believe some wheat breeds and blends are able to provoke a worse immune response than others.   Since European soft wheat doesn't contain as much gluten as American wheat, you may try increasing your intake of your soft wheat products.  A minimum of ten grams of gluten is required to get a sufficient immunological response so that the anti-gluten antibodies leave the intestines and enter the bloodstream where they can be measured by the tTg IgA test.  Your whole wheat bread may only have a gram of gluten per slice, so be prepared...

It took me months of very incremental tapering to get to the point where I felt I was succeeding and even then I had to rely some days on TUMS to squelch flareups. After about a year I felt I had finally won the battle. Rebound is real. If I were you I would aim at cutting back in weekly increments for two weeks at a time rather than daily increments. So, for instance, if you have been taking 2x20mg per day, the first week cut that down to 2x20mg for six days and 1x20 mg for the other day. Do that for two weeks and then cut down to 2x20mg for five days and 1x20 for two days. On the third week, go 20x2 for four days and 20x1 for 3 days. Give yourself a week to adjust for the reduced dosage rather than reducing it more each week. I hope this makes sense.
