My Trip To America


Ray H.

Recommended Posts

Ray H. Newbie

Hi all. Im a member of Coeliac UK and have to follow a gluten free diet. In August I will be visiting friends in Springfield, Virginia and will need to purchase the gluten-free items from the Springfield/Washington area. Can anyone tell me the names of stores or supermarkets that sell gluten-free bread, biscuits and cakes etc. and hopefully local to Springfield. Im looking forward to the trip as I have not been to America before, but a little concerned about being able to find gluten-free food. Thanks, Ray.

Good news for you! There is a Whole Foods market in Springfield--sell lots of gluten-free items there. :D

If there is a Kroger in the area, they often have a gluten free section. Also, many of their store brand items are gluten-free. Their dieticians are available 7am - 3pm ET by phone and are great.

One suggestion...you may want to order ahead and have some items you are familiar with sent to your location here. It is always good for our systems to have familiar foods available in case we get stuck in a situation where appropriate foods are not readily available.

      Welcome to the forum, @yellowstone! The most common ones seem to be dairy (casein), oats, eggs, soy and corn. "Formed" meat products (because of the "meat glue" used to hold their shape) is a problem for some. But it can be almost anything on an individual basis as your sensitivity to rice proves, since rice is uncommonly a "cross reactor" for celiacs. Some celiacs seem to not do well with any cereal grains.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.
