What Is The Deal With Walmart?

ugh, i'm getting annoyed with Walmart. here's my rant:

i've emailed them a few times to inquire about the gluten content in certain items and i always get an immediate automated reply giving me links to their site (that are no help) and the direction to reply to their email if my question hasn't been answered. why do i have to send 2 emails to get an answer to 1 question? does this happen to anyone else?

i know i can always call Walmart directly but i have the patience of a 3-year-old and cannot stand the thought of talking to someone who doesn't understand what gluten is. i'd rather wait an extra day or 2 to get the answer through email...i just wish they could answer my question the first time around! <_<

As much as I detest those annoying automated responses, they probably resorted to using them out of desperation because most people are too lazy to look up the info in the FAQ's. My guess is they get second inquiries from a tiny fraction of the people who send them an initial inquiry.

Walmart's food products are all clearly marked. Items that are gluten free say "gluten free" on them. They clearly mark if there is wheat, or any of the other major allergens listed. They have also recently added the disclaimer on items as far as the facility, what else is produced in that facility. Medications and any other items you have to call on, as they can only give you an answer on the specific product you actually(this requires the barcode and/or lot number) have in your hand. Due to the fact that they constantly change suppliers, they will not mark these products. Target requires a phone call for all items, be it food or any other.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that eliminating gluten has helped alleviate symptoms like eye burning, which is a significant and positive change. The first and most important step is to ensure you're consuming enough protein throughout the day to support muscle repair and growth, which can be challenging with a busy schedule. Since you're already physically active at work, adding focused strength training just 2-3 times per week can make a major difference. Bodyweight exercises like squats, push-ups (modified if needed), and lunges, or using resistance bands at home, are excellent, efficient places to start. Remember, consistency with these short sessions and prioritizing post-workout recovery, including good sleep and hydration, are just as crucial as the workouts themselves. It's a smart, gradual process at any age.

      suggest gluten free food

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Trader Joe's carries a good variety of affordable gluten-free foods like bagels, hamburger buns, pasta, etc. I like Franz Gluten Free bread, which is available at my local Costco. Food For Life and Little Northern Bakehouse (advertisers here) also make excellent gluten-free breads. Costco also sells gluten-free pizzas, crackers, gravy, etc.
