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. :)

This is exactly what I wanted! Keep those ideas coming. I'm making a list! Thank you so much!!

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!

      It's also a symptom of EPI.

      Yes.  Proportionately a small piece to a toddler is like a whole slice to an adult.  This is an important clue.  She was doing well, accidentally ate gluten and later the old behavior returned. I remember reading posts here of people reacting to a kiss from someone who had just eaten gluten. Recent research indicates that 40% of first degree relatives of someone with Celiac have undiagnosed Celiac Disease.  Father, mother, siblings.  There is a whole list of symtoms of "silent celiac".  Here is an article of symptoms possibly mistaken for other causes than Celiac Disease.  When I finally stopped gluten at 63 years old, I counted 19 things that improved, including lifelong mouthbreathing.  I never smelled bad things, so I as a kid, I learned to respond to the other kid's response in order to not seem weird. I really recommend you pursue testing for all the family if you can, and the whole family following GFD.  It is difficult at first, but the benefits will be worth it.

      I get these but where we are, they are called chicken potstickers. I would obviously suggest that it is the ginger in the product that is causing a stimulative digestive effect! So you might want to do what I do, just cook one of them with the rest of your meal so you don't have the same effect. I love the Feel Good products but they are on the expensive side. (I also drink Reed's ginger brew so in general, ginger is a friend of mine..when delivered at the right dose). Hope this helps and have a warm healthy week!

      Has anyone had Steatorrhea (oily/fatty poop) as a temporary glutening symptom or should I be concerned I've introduced chronic gluten somewhere (like in meds)? I haven't gotten Steatorrhea since before I went gluten free. However, I moved in the past few weeks and haven't been as careful - I've eaten at restauraunts with cross contamination but only experienced minor symptoms like headache. The past week, I ate only gluten free food at home except I went to Red Robin and got fries (told them gluten-free; allergy). The next day I had Steatorrhea and the day after that.   I know it's a symptom of malabsorption so I was wondering if it was the kind of thing that could be caused by one event or if it was due to a more chronic issue. Of course I will speak to a GI but I recently moved and need to find one.   Thank you for any info

      A relative has opened another door for me on this issue -- the possibility of menopause raising HDL. Most studies suggest that menopause decreases HDL-C, however, one study found that often it's increased. "Surprisingly, HDL cholesterol was higher (p < 0.001) in postmenopausal women by 11%. Further, the number of women who had low HDL cholesterol was higher in pre vs. postmenopausal women. The range of ages were 26–49 years for pre-menopausal and 51–74 years for postmenopausal women. "This interesting finding has also been observed by other investigators. It is possible that the observed increase in HDL-C in postmenopausal women could be due to a protective mechanism to counterbalance the deleterious effects of biomarkers associated with menopause. However, further studies are needed to confirm this theory. And to the point raised earlier about functionality: "...some patients with elevated HDL-C concentrations could remain at risk for coronary events if HDL is not functional and some authors have suggested that this could be the case for menopausal women." Postmenopausal Women Have Higher HDL and Decreased Incidence of Low HDL than Premenopausal Women with Metabolic Syndrome. By no means to I think this is definitive, rather food for thought.
