Ok, I have never been a big Walmart shopper, actually I hate the idea of going into one. But things are starting to change for me. If it wasn't enough to have their Great Value brand items clearly marked gluten free...I found Gluten Free Pantry brownie and muffin mix in my local store! I about fell over, especially when I realized they were less than $3.00 a piece!!! I thought my husband was going to do a little dance right there in the aisle as he shouted with pure delight, "What?! No more eight dollar brownies!!".

I have had a great shopping month..first Kroger and their new labeling and now this. The good thing about Celiac is that it really makes you appreciate the little things, lol!

I love WalMart too! I never have to worry about their products because they are clearly labeled! I love the way they print GLUTEN FREE in such large letters! Hopefully other stores will get the picture. I buy everything I can from them. :)

Yeah, Wal-Mart! Mine has gluten-free pasta, but not the good stuff. It's OK, though. I wish they would get the gluten-free Pantry's olive oil croutons.

After seeing threads like this in the past....I finally went to my local Wal-Mart SuperCenter. Well, they didn't have one single gluten-free item!! I also checked their great value brand, like peanut butter, and did NOT see any gluten-free symbol! So then I went to just a Wal-Mart grocery store, that just has food...none there either! I've now been to 4 of em, and haven't found anything! Not in a special isle, or with the other regular mixes. <_< I guess Florida ones just suck!

Walmart states gluten free in writing

Wegmans has the gluten free symbol--little g with a circle around it

I have been going to Walmart for months now and I live in PA and Ihave gotten the gluten free statement on the great value brand. Maybe you have overlooked it.

Well, I wish I did overlook it! I looked, my husband looked, and my mom went to another one. My mom even went and asked an employee, she thought they were supposed to have it on there as well. This was about 8-10 months ago. Maybe our area had old products that didn't have new labeling on them, I'm not sure. I just gave up on Wal-Mart after that....especially since our local health food store states gluten free on their brand, I just thought we'd try and save a few bucks at Wal-Mart.

Where are you looking? It's not on the front of the package. It's at the bottome of the ingredient list but it is written in large print. (At least, that's where it is on the important items in my pantry . . . the au gratin potatos, chocolate chips, and gummy worms :P:lol::lol: )

Wal-Marts peanut butter is not gluten-free because it is processed in a plant that also processes wheat. (If you remember the peanut butter recall recently, the Peter Pan pb was recalled along w/ the wm brand because they are manufactured in the same plant, so be careful!) Go look on their canned fruit, sour cream, cream cheese, etc. It will state gluten-free on there. If it doesn't, I don't buy it. Also, if ppl don't buy the special gluten-free products, like from the gluten-free Pantry, they will stop selling them. My walmart carried the 2 GFP mixes for about a month, but they didnt' sell well, so they stopped selling them. Same with Van's gluten-free waffles.

Look on the label under the nutrition box, above the WM address. It is right there if it is gluten-free. They started the new labels in Aug. 2006.

Hmm...maybe I was looking at only a few of the products I'd be able to eat from there..like the PB, which isn't gluten-free. That would make more sense! (I rarely eat anything processed since I'm gfsfcf) Also, makes sense that they get rid of it if there isn't a demand for the other gluten-free products. I'll have to check the canned fruit & veggies sometime then! (I like fresh....but I always stock up during hurricane season just in case!) Thanks for your help, I appreciate it!

Well, I think I was looking in the correct place on the back of the package...but I only checked a few items, since I can't have soy or casein either, and don't really eat anything processed or with high fructose corn syrup. I'll definitely check out a few other items next time! Thanks for your help!

I prefer fresh veggies and fruit too....Sadly, the growing season is coming to an end here so now it will either pay the price for not so good tasting fruit or eat canned.

Oh, I hear ya! I was sooo mad when I realized Pink Lady apples went out of season!! Those are my absolute favorite!! I think I'll do a combo...some fresh, some canned. I love the Honeycrisp apples too...but at $4/lb....it's insane!! :blink:

I've been buying glutenfree foods from Wal Mart since shortly after I was diagnosed three years ago. I don't buy specialty foods there, just mainstream like canned vegetables and fruits.

Kraft Natural Peanut Butter is gluten free and delicious. It has the brown lid.

Have you tried Fuji. They are smaller than honeycrisp but almost as good and much cheaper.

      Nausea

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight. My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet. I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now. He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs. It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc. It's literally neurological inflammation. Not to be taken lightly here. We...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-F...

      Nausea

      Hi all I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also]. BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering...

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you
