Dustda18

Recommended Posts

Dustda18 Rookie

I want to start a list and on every reply someone needs to add to the list of foods that are gluten free and can be found in most grocery stores.

1. Fruit

2. Meat (not breaded of course)

3. Rice Chex Cereal

4. Rice (not flavored from a box, cause most contain gluten)

5. Popcorn

6. Nuts

Do not merely assume that something is gluten free. Old boxes of Rice Chex are not gluten free. Canned beans may or may not be gluten free. Rice Dream rice milk is not gluten free. Not all cheeses or lunch meats are gluten free. Yogurt and chips can contain gluten. Read each and every label each and every time.

This is soooo very important I thought it needed to be said again.

In addition to reading labels you also need to be wary of the words 'natural flavors' barley can and is hidden in there in many items and will not need to be disclosed. The Rice Dream is a great example of that.

When you see natural flavors a call to the company is in order.

Unfortunately, a lot of these things are either brand-specific or variety-specific. :( There are many spaghetti sauces that have gluten. There also tons of chips that have gluten- flavored potato chips must be checked, "regular" cheese Doritos have gluten, and many tortilla chips do as well. Some types of yogurt and pudding also have gluten.

Some things I buy regularly:

- Del Monte canned tomatoes

- Ragu Spaghetti Sauce- Traditional or Garlic and Onion (check comapny's website for safe varieties)

- Classico pasta sauces - currently all are safe

- Plain frozen vegetables

- Fresh veggies and fruit

- Rice Chex (check for new box)

- Other cereals- Fruity Pebbles, Cocoa Pebbles, Trix (always double check the label)

- Corn starch (double check, but I haven't found any unsafe so far)

- Baking cocoa

- McCormick seasonings- will disclose gluten, and they have some great blends, like Monterey Chicken)

- Herb-Ox bouillon cubes- says gluten-free on the package, and cheaper than cans of broth

- Carol Shelby Chili Seasoning bags

- Old El Paso taco seasoning

- Utz potato chips, Fritos

- Popsicles and many ice creams- always check the label, and remember that the more "complicated the ice cream, the more likely it is to have gluten.

- 100% fruit juice

- I'm not a huge fan of yogurt, but I buy Trix yogurt for my kids. It may have more sugar, but it is real yogurt, it's gluten-free, and they like it.

- Eggs!!! We go through eggs faster than you can blink.

- Jif peanut butter, or Wal-Mart brand peanut butter

- Heinz ketchup or Wal-mart brand

- French's mustard

- Lea and Perrin's Worchestershire (gluten-free in the US only)

- La Choy Soy Sauce and Teryaki

I am sorry, I thought the question was in general not specific with brand name listed. I looked at the fruit and thought fresh, canned, dried or frozen is what was after b/c it didn't state fresh only. There are canned fruits that have gluten. Dried fruits can have gluten. Same with the meat. Some nuts can have gluten. Brand names was not specified in the question. I listed those I buy often and I already know are safe. No matter which brand every label has to be checked every time in case the methods or ingredients change. I only buy bagged rice and popcorn(microwaved is soo bad for you). Sorry if I didn't answer the question right :(

Do over, with some of those iems I listed: (plz correct me if I am wrong)

S&W garbonzo, black beans, chili(some chili beans are not safe)

S&W tomatoes with green chilies, crushed, Italian

Walmart Great Value semi-sweet chocolate chips

Kraft instant chocolate or vanilla pudding(some are not safe)

Pacific organic free range chicken broth (Flavorite has wheat)

Pacific almond, rice, soy and hazelnut milk

Taco Bell/Rosarita (from Kraft and Conagra) refried beans

Bumble Bee salmon

Starkist albacore tuna in water

Prego spaghetti sauce traditional (meat has wheat last time I checked)

Hunt's tomato paste

Walmart Great Value tomato sauce

Santitas tortilla chips

Doritos ranch

Ortega yellow corn taco shells

Bertolli alfredo sauce

Uncle Ben's Ready Rice, whole grain or original (ready to go in 90 seconds in microwave)

-La Choy Teriyaki and Soy sauces

-Baked Tostitos Scoops

I'd advise against any Nature Valley product containing oats which, unlike a Clif Bar, are not "sourced" wheat-free. It's true that General Mills has the practice of listing all gluten-containing ingredients; but this is not the same as "gluten-free." (And if it were, why doesn't General Mills label Nature Valley product so, like Rice Chex?) <_<

In North America, oats are often contaminated with wheat dust. Besides Clif Bars, McCann's Irish Oatmeal and Bob's Red Mill Oatmeal are made with oats that are not.

Cath724 Apprentice

Ah, the oats topic! Ref. the Nature Valley bars, I spoke to 2 separate representatives this week, and both assured me that their oats were "gluten-free" and if there were any possible contamination that they would list it for CYA. So I'm confused still--- do you think I should ask to speak to someone higher-up there who knows more, or just assume they're contaminated and take them off my grocery list?

Thanks!

bakinghomesteader Contributor

The Nature Valley nut bars ---Peanut Crunch and Almond Crunch don't have any oats in them at all. They're pretty good! More protien. :)

Jaimepsalm63 Rookie

:D

Luna bars are great for a quick meal on the go.

Daisy sour cream is gluten-free - wal-mart generic is NOT

Fresh fruit

fresh veggies

fresh fish

eggs (lots of eggs)

fresh goat milk (It's the joy of home schooling in the country :) you might be able to find fresh goat milk in the store, but I hear it tastes like the goat. :lol:

Ah, but it's well worth noting that Clif Bars do contain barley malt. (I'm warning myself not to send another message like the one I sent on July 29, 2009.) <_<

I have had a chance to see CELIA's Market Place Gluten Free Grocery Shopping Guide 2009-2010 Edition and it's pretty good. It also contains some non grocery items. You can find it on the margin advertizing here on C.com or on the Gluten Free Mall.

greenmatter Newbie

great list, thanks!

Also look at your grocery store's website and also ask at customer service if they have a listing of gluten free foods in their store. Our local Family Fresh store (Nash Finch) has done this for us.

      @Mynx, how long have you been gluten-free? I ask because many newly diagnosed celiacs react to many things, and often think their reactions are caused by gluten, when in fact, they are really caused by a combination of a sensitive gut due to damage, as well as additional food intolerance/leaky gut issues to other foods which may be temporary until their villi heal.

      Many major brands of distilled vinegar in the USA, including Heinz white vinegar, are typically made from corn. In the United States, corn is a common and cost-effective raw material used in the production of distilled white vinegar. The process involves fermenting the sugars derived from corn into alcohol, which is then further fermented into acetic acid to produce vinegar. Distillation follows, which purifies the liquid and removes impurities, including any residual proteins or allergens. While the source of the vinegar (e.g., corn) is not always explicitly stated on the label, corn-derived vinegar is widely used in the food industry due to its neutral flavor and affordability. For individuals with gluten intolerance or celiac disease, distilled vinegar made from corn is generally considered safe, as the distillation process effectively removes gluten proteins. However, if you have concerns about cross-contamination or specific sensitivities, it’s always a good idea to contact the manufacturer directly to confirm the sourcing and production practices. Heinz, for example, has stated that their distilled white vinegar is gluten-free and safe for those with celiac disease, but verifying this information can provide additional peace of mind. The belief that distilled vinegar is gluten-free is rooted in the scientific understanding that gluten proteins, which are large and complex molecules, are generally too big to pass through the distillation process. Distillation involves heating a liquid to create vapor, which is then condensed back into a liquid form, leaving behind larger molecules like gluten proteins. However, the concern about cross-contamination arises from the possibility that gluten-containing ingredients may have been present in the liquid prior to distillation. While the distillation process itself is highly effective at removing gluten, the equipment used in production could potentially introduce trace amounts of gluten if not thoroughly cleaned between batches. For most individuals with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease, distilled vinegar is considered safe because the gluten content, if any, is typically below the threshold that would trigger a reaction. However, for those with extreme gluten intolerance or celiac disease, even trace amounts can cause adverse effects. This is why some individuals, like yourself, may choose to avoid commercially produced distilled vinegar and opt for alternatives like apple cider vinegar, which can be verified as gluten-free. The meticulous process of researching ingredients and preparing homemade products, such as ketchup, is indeed challenging but crucial for maintaining health and avoiding gluten exposure. It’s important to note that regulatory standards for gluten-free labeling vary by region, and in many places, products labeled "gluten-free" must contain less than 20 parts per million (ppm) of gluten, which is considered safe for the vast majority of people with celiac disease. Nonetheless, individual sensitivity levels can vary, and your approach highlights the importance of personalized dietary management for those with severe gluten intolerance.

      I have been diagnosed with Microscopic Colitis (LC) for quite a few years, so I have been gluten-free and DF.  I would like to get tested for Celiac Disease because of the possibility of cross contamination and colon cancer.  And if you were hospitalized and didn't have a celiac diagnosis you could not get gluten-free food, I don't know if that is true or not.  Also because there is chance of colon cancer so I want to know if I have Celiac Disease and need to be on very restrictive diet.  The only testing I did was a sigmoid scope and Enter Lab but no gene testing.  I know I can go back to eating gluten for a few months, but I would worry you would have to stay home for the few months while getting gluten.  What other options do I have?  Should I do the gene testing?  Maybe through Entero Lab?  Any other tests?  How important is it to have Celiac diagnosed? Thank you! Barb

      Take it easy! I was just prompting you for some clarification.  In the distillation process, the liquid is boiled and the vapor descends up a tube and condenses into another container as it cools. What people are saying is that the gluten molecules are too large and heavy to travel up with the vapor and so get left behind in the original liquid solution. Therefore, the condensate should be free of gluten, no matter if there was gluten in the original solution. The explanation contained in the second sentence I quoted from your post would not seem to square with the physics of the distillation process. Unless, that is, I misunderstood what you were trying to explain.

      No they do not contradict each other. Just like frying oil can be cross contaminated even though the oil doesn't contain the luten protein. The same is the same for a distilled vinegar or spirit which originally came from a gluten source. Just because you don't understand, doesn't mean you can tell me that my sentences contradict each other. Do you have a PhD in biochemistry or friends that do and access to a lab?  If not, saying you don't understand is one thing anything else can be dangerous to others.
