Walmart Has Gluten-free Section Now


sixtytwo

Recommended Posts

sixtytwo Apprentice

When I was at my Walmart yesterday, which is being renovated to look like all the new Walmarts (much to my dismay, I liked it like it was!!!) but now I have to say I will be okay with it, because I discovered there is a whole little gluten-free section with pasta, Pamela's and Bob's Red Mill mixes etc at prices that you will NOT find anywhere else. The gluten-free flour mix which I use all the time was $3.60, unheard of anywhere else. I live in VERY northern Wisconsin and my grocery store does carry that product and it is way over $5. I am so happy. I actually have to drive 45 miles to get there, but for what I will be saving on my own gluten-free stuff and also for my business, it will be worth the drive. I always have a Walmart list going. I know there are people that don't like the place, but I love them for marking so many of their products GLUTEN FREE in big letters. Very smart.

I'll have to ask at our Wal-Mart about a gluten free section. I haven't seen one yet.

my Walmart (northern upstate NY) has added a gluten-free section featuring items from Bob's Red Mill, Pamela's, Tinkyada, Glutino, Gluten Free Pantry and Enjoy Life! the prices are spot-on to what i've been paying in other stores for these items and some stuff is even a little bit cheaper!

this makes me so happy - i no longer have to go to 3 different stores when i go grocery shopping now. :D

Our Idaho W-Mart has a section. I checked the prices on the flours and they were like 25-50 cents more than the co-op. We don't have a WF or TJ. The xanthan gum was about 50 cents cheaper though. I didn't check any other prices. No Enjoy Life yet.

The one in Valley Stream NY has none as of last Tuesday. I havent checked the one near my Job in East Meadow.

I live in the greater St. Louis area and my local Walmart has started to carry Pamela's chocolate chip cookies and Mi-Del gingersnaps. They have always (at least for the past year) carried Des Boles penne and spaghetti pasta. But, unfortunately, that's all the special gluten free brands they carry. I hope my Walmart starts to carry other items.

      @knitty kitty  The information you've provided is invaluable!  I have a lot more homework to do before we make the official switch but you have significantly increased my hope that we can get her off Miralax (she started at 3 years old and is almost 8!).  This weekend my husband and I plan to solidify all the details for a start point, then adjust as we go along.  I realize that everyone's body is different, then there's also the fact that she's a child but just out of curiosity if you don't mind sharing and if you'd rather not, no problem at all-how long did you take Miralax before switching and when you switched, did you just completely stop the Miralax or was there a period where you did Miralax and the supplements?  I plan to research that piece this weekend but just curious what you did.

      Scott, thanks so much for the thoughtful replies. My doctor did actually just re-order thyroid labs to see what is going on with my TPOs. I agree that will be interesting information.  I think I know the answer to this, but as far as the biopsy . . .. that would be quite conclusive as far as celiac goes, but a negative result would not rule out NCGS, correct? Does NCGS also cause damage to the lower intestine/leaky gut?  I appreciate the thought that I should be open-minded to other causes. I did not have dysautonomia on my radar, so I will look into that. From a quick scan at the potential symptoms it seems like almost anyone could convince themselves they have it, very broad! I can see why that is a tricky one to diagnose. I did also show low vitamin D, I'm in New England so that is somewhat common. I have a memory of low iron on some lab result as well but I can't find it, so I'll look into that. My cholesterol is high too, so working on that.  While the initial adjustment was tough, I have actually adapted fairly well to going gluten-free at home. The tough part for me is I love eating out and traveling, so that has been a challenge. I suppose if the answer ends up being NCGS then I could maintain a mostly gluten-free diet but also experiment with the occasional splurges. Snowboarding just doesn't feel right without a beer in the lodge . . ... cider is just not the same!  Thanks again.

      I did some research and found out that vaccines put preservatives, sugar alcohols and metals in them. Which I have a intolerance too.  I was supposed to do testing to find out metal's I was allergic to because I can't  wear jewelry of any kind. Mayo felt I had other allergies also.

      For individuals who have experienced negative reactions to the flu vaccine, there are alternative formulations that may reduce the risk of allergic responses. Traditional flu vaccines are typically produced using egg-based methods, which can pose issues for those with egg allergies. However, there are now several egg-free options available, such as cell-based and recombinant flu vaccines. Recombinant Vaccines (e.g., Flublok Quadrivalent): These are produced without the use of eggs and are grown in insect cells, making them a suitable option for individuals with egg allergies. Cell-Based Vaccines (e.g., Flucelvax Quadrivalent): These vaccines are also egg-free and are produced using mammalian cell cultures, which can be a safer alternative for those with egg allergies. Other Considerations: If you have had a reaction to a specific component of the flu vaccine (e.g., gelatin, preservatives, or antibiotics), discussing your medical history with a healthcare provider is crucial. They can help identify vaccines that exclude these ingredients. It's important to consult with an allergist or healthcare provider to determine the safest option based on your specific allergies and medical history. They can also provide guidance on pre-vaccination testing or desensitization protocols if necessary. Also, at @trents mentioned, could you be getting hidden gluten in your diet? Do you eat in restaurants? If so, this could be why you still have high gluten antibodies.

      Mayo is great and yes I had the same experience.  They take you seriously and they check everything.  I to wish other Dr's cared that much. I sure hope it's not refractory celiac also.
