Walmart Has Gluten-free Section Now

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.

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.

      Bitters for digestion?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Definitely get vitamin D 25(OH)D.  Celiac Disease causes vitamin D deficiency and one of the functions of vitamin D is modulating the genes.  While we can survive with low vitamin D as an adaptation to living in a seasonal environment, the homeostasis is 200 nmol/L.  Vitamin D Receptors are found in nearly every cell with a nucleus,while the highest concentrations are in tissues like the intestine, kidney, parathyroid, and bone.  A cellular communication system, if you will. The vitamin D receptor: contemporary genomic approaches reveal new basic and translational insights  Possible Root Causes of Histamine Intolerance. "Low levels of certain nutrients like copper, Vitamins A, B6, and C can lead to histamine build up along with excess or deficient levels of iron. Iodine also plays a crucial role in histamine regulation."

      I forgot to mention my suspicion of the high amount of glyphosate allowed to be used on wheat in USA and NZ and Australia. My weight was 69kg mid-2023, I went down to 60kg in March 2024 and now hover around 63kg (just after winter here in NZ) - wheat-free and very low alcohol consumption.

      Hi Jess Thanks so much for your response and apologies for the long delay in answering. I think I must have been waiting for something to happen before I replied and unfortunately it fell off the radar... I have had an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy in the meantime (which revealed 'minor' issues only). Yes I do think histamine intolerance is one of the problems. I have been lowering my histamine intake and feeling a lot better. And I do think it is the liver which is giving the pain. I am currently taking zinc (I have had three low zinc tests now), magnesium, B complex, vitamin E and a calcium/Vitamin C mix. I consciously think about getting vitamin D outside. (Maybe I should have my vitamin D re-tested now...) I am still 100% gluten-free. My current thoughts on the cause of the problems is some, if not all, of the following: Genetically low zinc uptake, lack of vitamin D, wine drinking (alcohol/sulphites), covid, immune depletion, gastroparesis, dysbiosis, leaky gut, inability to process certain foods I am so much better than late 2023 so feel very positive 🙂

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      Hi and thank you very much for your detailed response! I am so glad that the protocol worked so well for you and helped you to get your health back on track. I've heard of it helping other people too. One question I have is how did you maintain your weight on this diet? I really rely on nuts and rice to keep me at a steady weight because I tend to lose weight quickly and am having a hard time envisioning how to make it work, especially when not being able to eat things like nuts and avocados. In case you have any input, woud be great to hear it! Friendly greetings.

      Is this celiac?

      By Hmart · Posted

      I was not taking any medications previous to this. I was a healthy 49 yo with some mild stomach discomfort. I noticed the onset of tinnitus earlier this year and I had Covid at the end of June. My first ‘flare-up’ with these symptoms was in August and I was eating gluten like normal. I had another flare-up in September and then got an upper endo at the end of September that showed possible celiac. My blood test came a week later. While I didn’t stop eating gluten before I had the blood test, I had cut back on food and gluten both. I had a flare-up with this symptoms after one week of gluten free but wasn’t being crazy careful. Then I had another flare-up this week. I think it might have been caused by Trader Joe’s baked tofu which I didn’t realize had wheat. But I don’t know if these flare-ups are caused by gluten or if there’s something else going on. I am food journaling and tracking all symptoms. I have lost 7 pounds in the last 10 days.
