Trader Joe's

I am VERY new to this whole gluten-free thing and I have found that buying safe foods has been hard. Most of the foods I have bought so far have been really gross! My husband and I have always bought wine at Trader Joe's (Go 2 Buck Chuck!) and I remembered that they always carried a lot of natural and organic products. So, the next time I was in shopping I thought I would ask-you know, just for the heck of it-if they had a gluten-free section. The little guy working said they didn't but he was able to go and get a 10 page printout of all the gluten free items the store carries! It was listed by grocery section and very easy to shop with! I was able to find some very yummy foods. It was a great experience and I highly reccommend you asking for a list if you have a Trader Joe's in your area. I even had a question about gluten-free soy sauce and the clerk wasn't sure so he called the company's nutritionist right then and there to check on the answer for me. Now, THAT'S customer service!

Go Trader Joe's!

Trader Joes is great! And they aren't nearly as expensive as Whole Foods. They have been adding some new gluten-free products too- recently a brownie mix and PB cookies. When i first started their list really helped me narrow things down. It definitely sped up the process. I only looked at products on the list...and then only had to read those ingredients. Glad you found a good option.

Yes! They have some great gluten free items. I love their gluten free granola and their gluten-free banana waffles (and they are cheaper than Van's waffles and you get 8 per box, not 6).

Also, I found that their frozen cheese tamales are gluten free (not sure if they are on their printout) but they are great- the best frozen tamales I've ever had!

I just saw they have a new pancake mix now too. I don't eat grains though, so I can't tell you if it is good or not.

They frozen pancakes are very good as well! Just pop them in the toaster.

I just recently discovered their online gluten-free list!

Of course, we ran to Trader Joe's immediately and I stuffed the freezer with frozen meals... not that I was ever a big eater of frozen dinners and entrees, but, wow, it's so great to KNOW I have that convenience when I don't have it together to pack much of a lunch to take to work.

I LOVE the wasabi mayo... some other stuff like that on the list... dark chocolate cherries are really good too! Much cheaper than even the gluten-free items in our regular grocery store.

      Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      There is a 10 year old post in this forum on Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream. The information is somewhat outdated and the thread is closed to further comment, so here is a new one. Edy's And Dreyer's Grand Vanilla Bean Ice Cream - 1.5 Quart is labeled "Gluten Free". This is a different answer than years gone by. I don't know the answer for any other flavor at this moment. On 1 May, 2026, Edy's website says: "As a general rule, the gluten in Edy's and Dreyer's® frozen dessert products is present only in the added bakery products, such as cookies, cake or brownies. We always label the eight major food allergens on our package by their common name. We recommend to always check the label for the most current information before purchasing and/or consuming a product. The exception to this rule is our Slow Churned French Silk frozen dairy dessert, which contains gluten in the natural flavors." https://www.icecream.com/us/en/brands/edys-and-dreyers/faq It seems that Edy's and Dreyer's are more celiac-friendly than they were 10 years ago. Once I found enough information to make today's buying decision, I stopped researching.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.  Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam.  The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach/abdomen.  The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery.  Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years.  Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in the spinal cord causing leg pain.  I'm wondering if bowing the head might have increased the pressure on an aneurysm and then the nerves.   https://gulfcoastsurgeons.com/understanding-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-symptoms-and-causes/ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting as a Claudication https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4040638/

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      You have an odd story there. To me, the mechanical trigger suggests a mechanical problem and lower leg pain is a classic sciatica symptom. The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and it's something else entirely. @Scott Adams's mention of shingles is interesting. It seems possible but unlikely to me, but who knows. However, I am writing here to reinforce the idea of getting the shingles vaccine. Ask anyone who has ever had shingles and they will bend your ear telling you how bad it is. I watched my wife go through it and it scared the bejeebers out of me. Even if you had the chicken pox vaccine, you really want to get the shingles vaccine.

      Oddly this effect has gone now, just happened yesterday evening, the nerve pain is now back to its usual "unpredictable" random self again - but that was the only time I ever had some mechanical trigger for it, don't know why! There's no (or wasn't) actual pain in my neck - it was inside the leg, but when I looked down, now though, the leg pain just comes and goes randomly as before again.
