Store Or Off Brand List

I know there are tons of list floating around regarding gluten-free and brand name products. However, I know that we all cannot afford brand name products and use store or off brand products. Would it be possible to start a thread or list with store/off brand products that do and DO NOT contain gluten, i.e. Wal-Mart, Target, grocery store brands, etc....? Or is there already a list out there?

*NOTE - for store/off brand medications, mouthwashes, body care products, etc....*

Hmm, this isn't such a bad idea...

Stop and Shop clearly labels gluten. Like, in the allergen atatement it says "Contains: Nuts Eggs Milk Gluten".

Also I am OK with store brand rice cakes that are made in a sep. facility- as opposed to quaker. Plus they're oviously cheaper than the lundgerg

I was diagnosed recently with Dermatitis Herpetiformis and have been eating gluten free for about a week. I've wondered the same thing about food lists. It can be very frustrating. Because I have a large family I usually shop at Walmart or one of the local stores where you have to bring your own bags and put a quarter in to use the shopping cart. I was happy to discover an article on the internet that talked about Walmart including Gluten free in the labeling of it's store brand products (since 2006). I have found this to be true. :D I bought the Gluten-Free Grocery Shopping Guide offered for sale on this site and that has been helpful as well. Sometimes it's just less hassle to buy the brand you know is safe. Unfortunately, I haven't found a gluten free multi-vitamin. I used to take the Equate (Wal-mart brand) Complete Multi-Vitamin but I don't know if they're gluten-free. The label doesn't say it is but I read something on line that said it was.

Hopefully someone with more experience can shed more light on the subject. ;)

Wegmans uses Allergen keys, so if the product is gluten free there is a little "G" in a circle, usually the circle is orange too.

There lists is also found at Wegmans.com

Walmart's gluten free products will say gluten free below the ingredients. SafeWay also has a gluten free list they will give you if you call them.

I'm not talking about food items. I'm talking about medications, mouthwashes, body care, etc... that are store/off brand names.

We did not know that since you did not specify it in your original post.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Medication

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the community! Generally, for a gluten challenge before celiac disease blood tests, Tylenol (acetaminophen) is considered safe and should not interfere with your antibody results. The medications you typically need to avoid are those like ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve) that can cause intestinal irritation, which could potentially complicate the interpretation of an endoscopy if you were to have one. However, it is absolutely crucial that you confirm this with either your gastroenterologist or your surgeon before your procedure. They know the specifics of your case and can give you the definitive green light, ensuring your surgery is comfortable and your celiac testing remains accurate. Best of luck with your surgery tomorrow
