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.

Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces! Considering...

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.
