The closest one is almost 2 hours from me so before I go I need to try and figure out what I can buy and what to look for. I know that all carry different things but if you can give me a list of things you buy and the brand that would be a huge help. We are going in 2 weeks so I have time to research what we can and can't buy there.

I buy so much stuff at Costco! I live 14 miles from a grocery store so I buy a lot of stuff in bulk because I just don't have time to "run out" all the time. Not all stores carry the same items but here's what I get at my local Costco (Kirkland brand unless otherwise specified): McCormick spices, raw nuts, frozen tuna, salmon and beef, eggs, sugar, rice, olive oil, vitamins, Gain laundry detergent, Colgate toothpaste, Garnier shampoo/conditioner, and Cowboy charcoal.

Other gluten-free items that I've seen but don't get due to other issues: Mrs. May's bars, Envirokidz cereal, condiments (Heinz ketchup, Worcestshire sauce, etc.), frozen veggies. Costco also has a lot of cheese and I'm sure some of it is gluten-free.

They have a lot of things I do not buy because the quantity is so large it would either take us forever to use, or I just don't have a place to store.

I buy paper plates, cups and plastic cutlery.

I buy cat litter.

I buy toilet paper, paper towels and wet wipes.

I buy assorted produce, some of it organic. We love the sliced apples and baby carrots.

I buy canned meats, canned vegetables, chicken broth.

I buy nuts and chewing gum.

I buy magazines.

I buy fresh cut flowers.

I buy fresh and prepared meats. Sometimes cheese.

Bought some school supplies, shoes, clothing, batteries.

There are other non-gluten-free things I buy for my husband.

Mary's Gone Cracker...they're awesome and super cheap at Costco. I know they'll probably take them away soon (because they seem to do that to many products I like :) ).

I'm not sure how it is nationwide, but in my Costco in Chicago, they have rotisserie chicken that clearly says on the label "no gluten." I've eaten them many times, and I've never had a problem.

Omigosh, I found something fabulous at Costco! It's called Island Way Sorbet, and it is a package of 12, 4 flavors of sorbet. Each individually-wrapped sorbet comes inside a hollowed out fruit half! The lemon sorbet is inside a lemon half. The pina colada one is inside a small pineapple half. The coconut is inside a coconut half, and the orange-mango is inside an orange half!

The credit goes to my daughter - she saw them and said that her HS student store sells these. So I looked over the ingredients and decided to buy them, even though I wasn't sure about the "natural flavors." They're 12.99 for a box, so not cheap, but each dessert is quite a large serving and they are absolutely delicious. I emailed the company regarding their gluten-free status and received this reply:

"Dear Hummingbird4,

Thank you for contacting Island Way Sorbet. We are pleased to inform you that all our products are gluten free.

Your Friend At The Island"

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      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...

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      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...

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

      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—especia...

      nothing has changed

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can t...

      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.

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.

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can take 12–24 months (sometimes longer) for antibodies and the intestinal lining to fully heal, particularly in teens and young adults. Eating gluten again to “test” things isn’t recommended and won’t give you clear answers—it’s far more likely to cause harm than clarity. Weight not changing is also very common in celiac and doesn’t rule anything out. Please know that your frustration and sadness matter; this adjustment is hard, and feeling stuck can really affect mental health. You deserve support, and if you can, reaching out to a GI dietitian or mental health professional familiar with chronic illness could really help you through this phase. This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment with a gluten-free diet However, it's also possible that what the study really shows is the difficulty in maintaining a 100% gluten-free diet. I suspect that if you looked closely at the diets of those who did not recover within 2 years might be that their diets were not 100% gluten-free. Perhaps they ate out more often, or didn't understand all of the hidden ingredients where gluten can hide. Either way, it shows how difficult recovery from celiac disease can be for most people.
