Going To Trader Joe's And Whole Foods Market

I just found out that our travels this weekend are going to take us right by a Trader Joe's and a Whole Foods Market. We don't have either of these stores anywhere near us. I've read posts from others referencing these stores. Are there any items they carry that anyone really loves that we should be sure to pick up? Our health food store has some of the bigger name brand items like Tinkyada, Ancient Harvest, Glutino, but I'm so exicted about actually going to these two stores! Who would've thunk a year ago that I'd be planning a vacation stop at grocery stores! :lol:

Thanks in advance for the help!!

Whole Foods has a very extensive gluten free product listing. I can't remember if it's available on line or at the store itself. Don't forget to buy the frozen Praire Bread. It's the best loaf bread that I have tasted.

Happy vacation.

One thing that I always stock up on when at TJ's is the wild and basmati rice blend. It has no seasoning, just the two rices and dried veggies that add flavor. I use it for so many things, like stuffed peppers and popcupine meatballs and a chicken recipe and rice salad with fruit and nuts. It's flavorful and versitile and cooks up in 15 min.

I am totally addicted to TJ's gluten free pancakes. They are in the freezer section.

Both stores have gluten-free beef jerky.

Trader Joes has new gluten-free ginger cookies that are just amazing. TJ's brown rice tortillas, nom. They also have a gluten-free granola that is on the sweet side, but very yummy.

Whole Foods has their line of gluten-free baked goods. I like the biscuits and the scones. On the pricey side, but yummy. Also the lemon/poppy seed muffins are to die for when heated up for 20 seconds in the microwave.

Get the Trader Joe's gluten-free brownie mix.

Extremely easy to bake... add water, oil, egg...and...

now I'm drooling. Best brownies in the whole world, I swear they are!!!

The bag the mix comes in is reusable, too... makes a nice lunch bag.

I agree. They are quite possibly the best gluten-free food available IMHO. My husband prefers them over gluten brownies. I've taken them to parties on several occasions and never bothered to mention they were gluten-free and everyone commented on how good they were.

Yeah, I've tried to explain to people that when it comes to many gluten-free brownies, they compensate for the "gluten free taste" with MORE chocolate. Therefore, they are better. :)

Trader Joe's has the best prices on dairy free drinks if you need those--soy, rice, and almond milk. They also have almond butter, cashew butter, and good prices on roasted/salted nuts--I eat a lot of those for snacks. Whole Foods has Lundberg Rice Chips that are wonderful.

Yes- I just made cookies using TJ's almond butter. Yum... their almond butter is only about $5. In most stores it costs $9 - $10.

I really like the Trader Joe's Pancake and Waffle Mix and the Brownie Mix. Both delish. I also am addicted to their fruit and nut granola. All flavors are really good but that is my favorite. Their frozen waffles are really good too. The original ones and the banana ones-but make sure they are the gluten free ones because they're usually right next to the regular ones. Trader Joe's has great prices on frozen fruit too!

Thanks, everyone! We went wild at both stores. And as an added bonus, there as a woman there who heard us talking about gluten free to the clerk and her daughter wrote a cookbook that she happened to have in the car. We bought one from her! Obviously I haven't tried any recipes yet, but it was full of good info for a newbie like myself plus the recipes. I'm looking forward to trying some new things.

Thanks again!

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
