so I haven't been to costco since going gluten-free, but I've heard they sell lots of gluten-free products (hopefully for cheaper than the health food store...I hate paying $7 for a box of cereal that only has enough for like 4 bowls) lol so does anyone know what products they often have and where to find them?

I just bought some "Naked Nuggets" from the freezer section. Kinda cute, but I'm not sure I'd buy them again. Might as well just buy... chicken. Tyson individually quick frozen chicken tenderloins are just as easy to fix and cheaper. If my kids were really hankering for nuggets, I might feel differently.

I also get Lara Bars, Trio Bars (fruit and nut type bar,) and Nature Valley Nut Crunch Bars (Peanut Crunch - not all varieties are gluten-free, but this is the only one they carry at our Costco.) And I get El Monterrey Beef Taquitos (frozen.) Never ate them before going gluten-free, but now that I can't have much restaurant food, they hit the spot now and then.

No gluten-free cereal, unfortunately. I get that most cheaply at Trader Joe's or Whole Foods.

We're currently dairy-free, so there might be other things I'm not thinking of 'cause I can't have 'em. (They have soy milk, but not almond milk, which is what we drink.) Some Costcos apparently have Crunchmaster gluten-free Crackers, but not mine.

I won't try to say where things are, 'cause they love to move everything around every now and then!

Mostly, though, I go there for milk (for the rest of the fam.,) eggs, meats, fruits & veggies.

I would avoid buying their brand of products. My son's babysitter uses their dish soap and when I called them to find out if it's gluten free they told me I would need the UPC code or at least the location and date of purchase. They recommended that I call about each item every time. They also did not seem very knowledgeable regarding gluten.

Yikes. That's a little wacky.

string cheese

sugar

brown rice

jasmine rice

corn tortillas

fresh salmon

Larabars ($17.59 for a case of 18 bars)

Produce - their stock is top notch, but make sure it's something you will eat before it goes bad)

Butter

Egg substitute (the Kirkland brand is gluten-free)

Ground beef (5# leanest ground beef frozen in 1# chubs for $11 something)

Boneless skinless chicken breasts (Kirkland brand for $2.29/lb)

Their are many items at Costco that are gluten free. Many of the Kirkland branded items are just larger versions of a brand that can be found in the grocery store. Examples are:

Kirkland corn tortillas - Marked gluten free and made by Mission (marked gluten free on the bag)

Kirkland Chicken Toquitos - Made by El Montery. I saw this on a gluten free list but it should be double checked.

Kirkland Boneless skinless chicken breast. In So. Cal. the brand is Foster Farms.

I do not check with Costco on the gluten free status. I check with the actual company that made the food if there is a question about the ingredients.

I buy the following items at Costco on a regular basis:

Fresh Whole Produce

Fresh Meat

Fresh Chicken

Dove Shampoo and Conditioner

Olive oil

Bushes Beans (regular)

Sun Vista Pinto Beans

Colgate Toothpaste

Crest Toothpaste

Kirkland Garlic Powder

Milk

Rice

Nature Made Vitamins and supplements

Kirkland brand Vitamins

Pre-cooked chicken - labeled gluten free

Since a food manufacturer can change the ingredients at anytime read the label each time you buy a product.

Why would dish soap have gluten? I've never worried about non-food items, but I just have the regular Celiac, and as far as I know haven't had a problem with non-food items.

Does you're son have DH?

For a while my son was having some "bathroom issues" and I was racking my brain for any possible causes. I was concerned about the scents and additives containing gluten. It's not THAT strange. Others recently posted that Palmolive won't confirm or deny gluten in their products. ;)

:rolleyes: Soaps, Shampoos, Conditioners and Massage Oils all can contain "hydrolyzed wheat protein".

It is true, gluten can not be absorbed through the skin. Therefore is TECHNICALLY not a probem for Celiacs.

HOWEVER, if the gluten is on the skin/hair, it can get on the fingers, then, in the mouth, then in the gut.

I have found products with wheat and regular oats, in all of the items listed above.

Now, I always check with the products manufacturer if there is no "gluten-free" labeling, or if gluten does not appear in the ingredient list.

This forum post came up when I Google searched Kirkland Dish Soap. I called them today and they said there is no gluten in the dish soap. :)

      Receommendations for kids multivitamins

      By cococo · Posted

      My kids take Whole Earth & Sea Kid’s Multivitamin as per our naturopath’s recommendation. They’re chewable but can be crushed and added to juice or food. No gums or citric acid. GMO free and gluten free too.

      DR1-DQ5 neurological symptoms

      By Murilo P · Posted

      It has been a while and I would like to post an update. The hallucinations are completely gone. Thanks to one bottle of B1 as benfotiamine and one of B3 as niacin, both taken together. I will buy more. The other symptoms are still being treated. Now I can already affirm that the symptoms are part of Borderline Personality Disorder. Yet I do have hopes that we will achieve the remission of BPD symptoms over the next couple of years. I think her issues come from this chain of events: Nutritional deficiencies at birth, due to being twin and having low birth weight. Low levels of Omega-3 during pregnancy and first years resulting in weak HPA axis development (predisposition for BPD). Consumption of gluten before age of 2 leading to predisposition for gluten sensitivity as adult Excessive consumption of gluten and sugar as an adult, leading to dysregulation of microbiome. Two severe gut infections due to lack of healthy bacteria, followed by hospitalization and use of antibiotics Poor diet after using antibiotics, worsening even more the gut health and leading to anorexia nervosa. Worsening of gluten sensitivity, then resulting in bouts of anxiety and depression, especially if added with sugar. Different forms of therapy haven't shown effectiveness yet, but I think it's because the issues must be treated with nutrients first, so we are taking that more seriously now and focusing on nutrients that are especially easy to digest and absorb. She still has intense gluten sensitivity, but I have hopes that this can go away after the body is completely re-nourished with the missing nutrients and then gets a few years to recover. Notes: The hallucinations begun after we tried Ayahuasca low dosage. I guess it was the result of a bad combination: "DR1 genes + B1 deficiency + Ayahuasca". I'd guess that would not have happened if it wasn't for the vitamin deficiencies. She has been fully in non-gluten diet, except for accidents that happen sometimes due to her food compulsion. I have been giving more importance to Omega-3, which is very effective in emotional regulation for BPD. Recently bought special products from Omnilife which use special "micelles" to promote quick absorption close to 100% rate. - "Micelles are tiny, spherical particles formed when amphiphilic molecules, like those in soap, aggregate in a liquid, typically water." Currently buying special whey protein which is hydrolyzed (easy to digest). I think we have underestimated the importance of proteins, which is not usually refereed as part of mental health treatment. She is pregnant again, but doing well. 🙂 Thanks for all of the help!

      Receommendations for kids multivitamins

      Hi, My six year old has been complaining of tingling in the legs off late. This used to be pretty common thing with her pre-diagnosis and a couple of weeks after the diagnosis as well. And now it is back again. I am not sure if it's a glutening symptom, or she could be deficient in something. I got her Pure Encapsulations' multivitamin capsule, which she is ok taking, but she began reacting to cellulose in the capsule. I don't know if I can just break the capsule and she could drink it in a smoothie. I haven't tried that yet, so do not know whether it'll be palatable to her.  If any of you know of a CGF multivitamin that do not contain any gums and are preferably free of citric acid, I'd greatly appreciate. Thank you.

      Energy drink can has stains - potential gluten?

      By Dora77 · Posted

      It wasnt really eye catching, but they were small stains which looked like dried out liquid. I dont know if it was normal or shouldve been just completely clean. But if someone didnt pay attention, it wouldnt be noticeable.

      If there were stains or particles on a drink can in an area that would either contact the drink or my lips, I would wash that can whether or not I had celiac disease.
