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!

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.
