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.

      Outgrow celiac?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well as between migraine without aura and ulcerative colitis...this study did not find evidence of a shared genetic basis..." Anyway, there is definitely a connection, and you can go through more of the articles here if you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By SusanJ · Posted

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.

      @tiffanygosci, Thiamine deficiency is a thing in pregnancy for "normal" people, so it's exponentially more important for those with celiac disease and malabsorption issues. I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious what the vitamins were doing inside the body.  See my blog.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll to drop down menu "activities" and select blog.   So glad you're motivated to see the dietician!  We're always happy to help with questions.  Keep us posted on your progress!
