Gluten Free Commerical Food List?

I was wondering if there was a lits of commercial foods that are gluten free.

Like any Kelogg's cereals or anything!

I just bought my daughter a bag of gluten free cereal for $8!

I scan boxes of gluten free foods to find hardly any nutritional value, it is so furstating.

We don't eat very much boxed foods to being with, but my daughter likes cereal so I would love to find an alternatrive for her so she doesn't have to give up everything she likes.

As far as cereal goes, according to my binder-ful of info I have collected from this forum, these cereals are safe:

Fruity Pebbles, Cocoa Pebbles, Trix, Winnie the Pooh, Dora Stars, and the new gluten-free Rice Chex (make sure the box says gluten-free)

The only one I have eaten is the Rice Chex, and I have seen Dora Stars mentioned often. The others I hesitate to mention, as I don't know how reliable the info is.

So if anyone has better info, let me know. Of course the best advice is to google the companies and contact them yourself.

There are lists you can purchase, that are really handy (our local CSA chapter in Denver sells one for about $10, and there's one you can buy online for about $25 that's more inclusive, go to Open Original Shared Link

And don't forget Rice Chex -- they are now on the OK list.

Not sure what grocery stores you have near you, but Whole Foods Market has a PDF you can either print out or just download and read on your computer) of all gluten free products in their store -- go to www.wholefoodsmarket.com. find your nearest location, click on "more store info", then on list to left, click on "special diets", then click on "gluten free" and it will display a 15-20 page list of safe gluten-free items. Vitamin Cottage Natural Grocers have a gluten free product list at their customer service desk that you can use to shop there. You can also call Safeway corporate toll-free 1-877-723-3929, and ask for Corporate Brands for their gluten free list (they will mail to you, or can email you a PDF).

Campbell's soups is in the process of updating their Gluten Free list, if you find and call their 800 number they will take down your address and send you one when it's ready. Hormel foods has a huge gluten free list online - I'm finding that many "brands" do have a listing (making my life so much easier!). So you can always email them or find a contact number on their web page to see if they've got a gluten-free list - and if not, they can tell you if a specific item is OK or not.

Gluten-free foods in general take a large toll on our family budget, not only to buy specialty gluten-free products themselves, but to purchase so much fresh produce and meat without additives that I feel helps balance my diet.

I've heard Rice Chex and Fruity Pebbles as well. I would introduce them as you would any new food with a wait and see attitude.

As far as nutrient value of these cereals, I read an article in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association today that mentioned a person calling gluten-free companies out for not fortifying the products they are intended to replace. It's an issue most certainly, but hopefully one that has received and attention and will hopefully be remedied soon. It isn't like it is expensive to fortify or enrich products. <_<

If you live in an area that has a Wegmans grocery store they put a "G" on all of their store brand gluten free products. It is great!

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease...

The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease does damage to the small bowel lining it often results in nutritional deficiencies such as anemia. NCGS does not damage the small bowel lining so your history of anemia may suggest you have celiac disease as opposed to NCGS. But either way, a gluten-free diet is in order. NCGS can cause bodily damage in other ways, particularly to neurological systems.
