I am wondering if it is worth it to drive all the way to Sam's CLub. What gluten free items do they carry? I mean besides the obvious fruits, veggies, and meats.

Maybe you can narrow down your question about a specific product.

Do they carry any gluten free pastas or flours?

I would think not, but then I have not noticed. WalMart seems to have more products.

My Sam's list consists or whole salmon filet, lamb chops, frozen scallops, Emeril's sausages, great beef filets, cheeses and a giant container of Aleve.

I was just there recently, and no, they didn't have any gluten-free flour or pasta. I did pick up a 3-pack of Bertoli Organic pasta sauce :)

Every Sam's is different, but ours is where I buy the cornstarch for my baking. Cheapest way for me to get it. I also bought my baking powder in bulk there because gluten-free baked goods call for so much of it. As far as gluten-free processed foods all I can think of are the Taquitoes (beef) I think DeliMex brand? Also, Seapak shrimp scampi. Ours also has rice crackers that say gluten-free on the box. Have you checked out the Sams website? Sometimes you can see if the store in your area carries an item. I did that the other day because my dd wanted to know the price of the shrimp scampi and it was on there.

I'm in MN and have yet to find any "special" gluten-free foods that are not the mainstream foods that are gluten-free at Sam's Club.

I've been told Costco has gluten-free chicken nuggets, however.

Sam's does not carry gluten-free specialty products.

Some Sam's Clubs offer a one day free pass (usually have to pay in cash)... you could call the closest Sam's and ask if they do this.

We have one about 40 minutes away from us so my husband and I make a day trip of it going shopping/walking around then we hit Sam's on the way home (we have their freezer/cooler bags).

We get Fruit, Veggies, Salad, Salad Dressing, French Fries, Meat, String Cheese, Shredded Cheese, eggs... Canned: Chili, Refried Beans, Fruit... Water.... Their brand canned chicken

(Hubby who is not gluten free gets -- beef jerky, bread, deli meat, hot dogs, lean pockets)

The only thing I have seen at ours that is definately gluten free is Crunch Master Rice Crackers (I think thats what they are called).

Sam's Club is more of a snack food place... Costco if you have one near you (we don't) would probably be a better choice to go take a look at, or even go to both and compare which you prefer.

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions to it, so different for everyone.
