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.

      How long does it take to gain weight?

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!
