What Should I Ask For At Whole Foods?

I am flying up to Louisville on Thursday for a company meeting and flying back on Saturday. The secretary offered to go to Whole Foods for me and pick me up some food so I will have something to eat because I won't have a car. I will need to make 2 breakfasts and 2 lunches out of what she brings me. I will have a fridge and microwave. I am also nursing my son so I eat like a truck driver and am especially conscious about eating lots of organic fruits & veggies. I wouldn't say I'm a vegetarian, but I don't really like meat & I love dairy. I need the 4 meals plus about 4 snacks a day. I can bring food from home but I'm trying to limit that as much as possible. I don't eat Amy's or anything produced on shared equipment because I'm very, very sensitive. I typically eat rice or Tinkyada w/veggies and cheese for most meals.

I was thinking of asking for kefir and yogurt and I love their sandwich bread. Do they have sliced cheese that is gluten-free there? I even thought of lunch meat because it will be easy, do they carry some sort of pre-packaged nitrate free gluten-free lunch meat? I'm going to bring some nuts & Lara bars with me and they will have bananas I can snag at the hotel. What else should I ask for? Specific brands would be helpful.

Thanks!

Glutino frozen Mac N Cheese.

Glutino pretzels.

Kinnickinnick donuts.

Annie Chungs rice bowls (microwaveable brown and sticky rice).

Fresh fruits and veggies.

gluten-free chicken nuggets (there are a few kinds at whole foods).

You might think about buying a cheap toaster while you're there. Maybe can find one under $10. That would open up your options for gluten-free toast and such, or some gluten-free waffles.

gluten-free corn chips and velveeta-like cheese for nachos.

They have Welshire Farms meats and various cheeses that are sliced and sealed in pkg.s.(I don't buy them because I'm dairy free) Foods by George individual pizzas. That's all I can think of at the moment. What brands and products do you use? There is a healthfood store just down the street from WF called Rainbow Blossom that carries Kinnickkinnick, Glutino and more vegan and vegetarian oriented products as well as a very good selection of gluten-free.

glutenfreelouisville.org is the local website.

You can select items yourself:

EDIT: Their gluten-free list is available at each store and apparently not available online. Sorry.

Applegate Farms Open Original Shared Link has gluten free, nitrate free pre-packaged lunch-meat. I've gotten it at Whole Foods and some normal Kroeger's type grocery stores. oscar meyer also has a new line of nitrate free, gluten free prepackaged lunch-meats but I haven't seen it at Whole Foods.

How about canned tuna or other fish? Progresso Chicken Rice soup is gluten-free. Taste of Thai packaged noodles are good. Also, Tasty Bite has pouches of Indian-style curry; they even have some with precooked rice. Most are vegetarian, some are vegan.

Whole Foods usually has Ian's chicken and fish nuggets gluten free.

You could try Amy's frozen rice mac and cheese or rice lasagna and rice crust pizza. There are probably frozen gluten-free bagels and Van's waffles as well as lots of gluten-free cereals - you could ask for the ones like Rice Krispies or like Cheerios to steer your designated shopper. Plenty of gluten-free cookies (Pamela's are good) as well. Greek yogurt is wonderful. There are also muffins and other baked goods from Whole Foods' own bakery in the freezer. Don't forget canned tuna and baked beans (Bush and B&M are safe, but I don't remember if WF carries them). Blocks of cheddar or other cheese.

Lara bars are a great snack. Just raw nuts and dates. How about organic eggs. Even though I hate to microwave my food, in a pinch at a hotel I will micro a couple eggs (scrambled) and put them in a warmed Food For Life brown rice toritilla (at Whole Foods).

amy's frozen mac and cheese is really good, and they have some pretty good muffins in the gluten-free freezer section

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Tazfromoz · Posted

      My understanding, and ex I erience is that we coeliacs are likely to suffer more extreme reactions from viruses. Eg we are more likely to be hospitalised with influenza. So, sadly, your shingles may be worse because you are coeliac. So sorry you had to go through this. My mother endured shingles multiple times. She was undiagnosed with coeliac disease until she was 65. Me at 45. I've had the new long lasting vaccine. It knocked me around badly, but worth it to avoid shingles.

      Celiac Screening

      By hjayne19 · Posted

      Hi all,  Looking for some advice. I started having some symptoms this past summer like night sweats and waking at 4 am and felt quite achy in my joints. I was training heavily for cycling for a few weeks prior to the onset of these symptoms starting. I have had low Ferratin for about 4 years (started at 6) and usually sits around 24 give or take. I was doing some research and questioned either or not I might have celiac disease (since I didn’t have any gastric symptoms really). My family doctor ran blood screening for celiac. And my results came back: Tissue Transglutaminase Ab IgA HI 66.6 U/mL Immunoglobulin IgA 1.73 g/ My doctor then diagnosed me with celiac and I have now been gluten free for 3 months. In this time I no longer get night sweats my joint pain is gone and I’m still having trouble sleeping but could very much be from anxiety. I was since referred to an endoscopy clinic to get a colonoscopy and they said I should be getting a biopsy done to confirm celiac. In this case I have to return to eating gluten for 4-6 weeks before the procedure. Just wanted some advice on this. I seem to be getting different answers from my family physician and from the GI doctor for a diagnosis.    Thanks,

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning?

      By yellowstone · Posted

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive, to produce symptoms similar to those of gluten poisoning.

      Celiac disease symptoms

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily basis.

      Celiac disease symptoms

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.
