Gluten Free @ Walmart Super Center

I know there are various threads about Walmart, but none that I found are fairly recent and I wanted to share my excitement of going to the Walmart Super Center and discovering that most Walmart Value Brand products have GLUTEN FREE written in a fairly large font on the label. I was amazed to find both gluten-free ketchup for 98 cents when I had been paying $3.99 for a different brand at the grocery store and gluten-free soy sauce for $1.48 for a larger bottle than the Tamari soy sauce that I had been buying for $5.99 at the regular grocery store. Now if they carried gluten-free pasta than I'd have a heart attack right there in the store, but as is I'm thrilled. Does anyone know if there's actually a list of all the gluten-free items at Walmart or do I just need to continue to explore the grocery section at Walmart?

The WalMart by me carries DeBoles pasta -- it is Gluten Free (Rice Spaghetti). I use to buy this pasta when I first went gluten free but after trying some other pastas I don't buy it anymore. It is about (or was) $1.50 it does fall apart so its like eating spaghetti with little parts of pasta.

As far as I know WalMart does not have a list of their gluten free items. Anything that is Great Value though will say on the backside GLUTEN FREE in bold if it is. They do note on their items "made in a facility that also processed ____" (wheat, soy, etc), so that is nice.

I hope they start to carry mixes and frozen meals that are gluten free (they do carry Amy's but I have had problems with it).

Happy Shopping

I am surprised to read about Great Value being Gluten-free. I bought some Gluten-free rice lol...from there about 6 months ago. I quit shopping there after waiting in line so long that my ds took a chomp out of some bananas with the peelings! (4 little teethmarks) when the cashier weighed them. I am upset every time I go there...last time I couldn't find any soy yogurt or milk.

I do appreciate the labeling that tells "Processed in a facilty that handles ____."

If ds outgrows his peanut allergy it may be a possibility...then again I doubt my sanity can handle the madness.

Both Wal-marts I go to (Winston-Salem and Mt. Airy, NC) carry basic DeBoles pasta- elbow macaroni, spirals and spaghetti. I'm not crazy about DeBoles, but it takes only takes 1/2 hour to get to Wal-mart and at least an hour to Whole Foods for my Tinkyada. :rolleyes: They both also carry Gluten Free Pantry muffin mix and brownie mix- which I'm thrilled with.

I hope they continue adding more gluten-free specialty options!!!

I am so jealous.... I wish mine carried Gluten Free Pantry mixes <_<

Wonder why/how your store started to carry the brand -- and how do I get mine :unsure:

Is it just down the baking row??

Thanks

Yup. They're in with all the other baking mixes. I think they've carried them for longer than I realized. It was only after I read here that some Wal-marts carry GFP mixes, that I purposefully looked for them. And there they were! One of the Wal-marts I go to also carries soy flour (which I don't use) and Hodgeson Mills Flax Meal- which I use frequently. It's much cheaper than the brand I used to buy at Whole Foods.

The GFP muffin and brownie mixes are only $2.99 at Wal-mart here.

Wal-mart's also the second-cheapest place I've found to buy yeast. Only about $4.75 for the little jar, instead of 6.99 at my regular grocery store. The absolute cheapest place I've found to buy yeast is Sam's Club- $4.50 for 1/2 pound. I keep it sealed in the fridge and it has kept fine.

(I am on a constant hunt to find ingredients at the best price possible. :P )

Our Super Wal-Mart carries DeBoles as well...and also the Gluten Free Pantry brownies. I've been getting them for awhile now...they are pretty decent. I have also become a loyal Great Value brand supporter b/c of the specific "gluten free" labeling. I figure if they're going to that trouble, I will buy their products ;)

Just this past week, I saw some "re-shelfing" going on in the cookie/cracker aisle and it looked like they were adding a bunch of Pamela's gluten-free cookies and Nut Thins crackers, etc. Kind of like how other grocery stores put the organic stuff at the ends of the aisles. I'm super excited to go back next week and see what they've added.

Oh and I wanted to comment on the gluten free labeling with the Great Value brand. Sometimes, even though something's ingredients are gluten free, they won't write "gluten free" on the label if it's been processed in a facility that also processes wheat. I suppose that's a good thing, but I have come to overlook that since my own kitchen processes wheat on a daily basis ;) So when I don't see that "gluten free" on the label, it makes me second guess myself on the label reading. Anyone else have this issue?

Ah, Walmart, my first true love:) When I recently learned I had to go Gluten-free I was so relieved that Walmart is one of the few places that provides gluten info. for every item in their brand. For a beginner especially, it's helped me learn which types of food items may likely contain gluten and which ones are naturally gluten-free.

A good idea for a newbie-- go to Walmart on a slow day (unless you just like the obscene crowds:), during normal business hours, and start calling the 800 numbers on different products as you're shopping. It's a great way to learn what you can buy and what you can't. For example, yesterday I called Hidden Valley and found out that every dressing and dip, powder mix or bottle, is gluten-free except 3 (crushed garlic caesar, fat-free bacon and french, and fat-gree original ranch with bacon). Also, I was tickled pink to find that Nature Valley's Nut and Fruit Trail Mix bars are gluten-free! So are the peanut nut bars. And La Choy Teriyaki sauce has saved me from the nut house! I love teriyaki sauce, and their soy and teriyaki is gluten-free!

Walmart's been open about the fact that they are not going to do online grocery shopping, but maybe one day....

I knew the nut bars from Nature Valley were gluten-free, but I don't see the Fruit Trail Mix being gluten free. The ones they have listed on Amazon have oats and malt extract listed as ingredients. Am I looking at the wrong bars? I would love to find another mainstream bar to eat.

I totally have that trouble. I, too, think it's probably a good thing that they warn us about any ounce of cc possibility, but how much do we take that chance anyway on products that don't have the cc warning on their label? In a way the label confirms what we know we don't know.

But speaking as someone who was once a very harsh Wal-Mart critic, I just love them to pieces for doing this. I LOVE being able to eat the GV cheese dip with salsa. I'm a total Wal-Mart fan now. I can spend hours going up and down their aisles looking for more GV gluten-free labeled products and totally enjoy myself.

I found out that great value vanilla bean ice cream is gluten free. I called to verify it and fruity pebbles and marshmallows also gluten free. Great value plain potato chips, and Lays plain pptato chips also gluten free.  Progreso makes a few soups that are gluten free.

      Celiac Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      Maybe they can attribute certain skin conditions to either being susceptible to getting Celiac......or the other way around....but I have to ask if certain people are prone to Celiac because of genetics and some people aren't. It's kind of the same thing as what came first.....the chicken or the egg.?

      @xxnonamexx, There's labeling on those Trubar gluten free high fiber protein bars that say: "Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, milk, soy, fish, WHEAT, sesame, and other tree nuts." You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities. If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering...

      Celiac Disease Patients Face Higher Risk of Systemic Lupus

      What kind of practitioner did the blood test? Was this a medical doctor, a naturopathic doctor, a GI doc? I would certainly follow up with them and ask why they advised you not to eat red meat. I mean, it could be something like they, themselves, are a vegetarian and give that advice to everyone. Have you had an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel...

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees. People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits. Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease. Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of...

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      I found out the age of 68 that I am a celiac. When I was 16, I had my gallbladder removed when I was 24 I was put on a medication because I was told I had fibromyalgia.   going to Doctor’s over many years, not one of them thought to check me out for celiac disease. I am aware that it only started being tested by bloodwork I believe in the late 90s, but still I’m kind of confused why my gallbladder my joint pain flatulent that I complained of constantly was totally ignored. Is it not something that is taught to our medical system? It wasn’t a Doctor Who asked for the test to be done. I asked for it because of something I had read and my test came back positive. My number was quite high.Are there other people out here that had this kind of problems and they were ignored?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to celiac.com, @EndlessSummer! Do you react to all vegetables or just specific kinds or families of them? What you describe with green beans sounds like it has an anaphylaxis component. Like you, walnuts are a problem for me. They will often give me a scratchy throat so I try to avoid them. Does it matter if the vegies are raw or will-cooked in how you react to them?
