I'm packing the family up and crossing the border tomorrow to pick up some Udis products and hit up the Wegmans.

I'm from Canada and we have a lot fewer gluten free products than you folks in the US.

Can anybody give me suggestions of some of your favourite gluten free products from Wegmans (or even other large chains) so I have an idea what to pick up? I'm sure I'm not even aware of half the products available in the States......

Thanks!

Boy are you in for a great time! I think you are going to be overwhelmed with how much stuff under their private label is gluten-free. Their Natures Marketplace will have some gluten free frozen items, what they have varies by store. The one where I usually shop doesn't have as much as one in a city 15 miles away from me so every once in a while I go there with iced coolers to get gluten free burritos, frozen mac and cheese and gluten-free frozen soups etc and some out of the world good, but expensive cheesecakes.

They carry a couple different breads that I like, Grainless Baker is my favorite for bread and hamburger and hotdog buns and they usually have chocolate and cinnamon Kinninickkinnick doughnuts and pizza shells. Kinnie pizza shells come 4 to a package so for me they are a good value over the premade gluten-free pizzas when I grab some Wegmans pizza sauce and cheese. I don't know if you have Hormel pepperoni there if you don't and you like pizza grab some of that also.

With the name brand food on the regular aisles my favorite to go for (other than regular meal prep stuff) is their pickles, not all are labeled gluten free as they have a distilled gluten grain sensitive person in the family so they don't label pickles or BBQ and such made with distilled gluten as safe. I really appretiate that.

In general if you are looking at a product that comes in different sizes and one has the circle G and another size doesn't there is a reason for that. I have seen that most often in the nuts aisle. So do look for the Circle G and go with that size.

The meat dept is really good also and if you see any item that you have doubts about they will call the company headquarters or check their list for you while you wait to check if it is safe. I did that last week with a meatloaf mix that had beef, pork and veal and 'natural flavors'.

I think your going to be pleased with the selection, price and quality and do bring a cooler or two or three for frozen and refrigerated stuff.

Don't forget to pick up some Lea & Perrin's Worcestershire Sauce. It's gluten free in the US, but not in Canada.

And stock up on Chex Cereal. Five varieties are gluten free in the US.

No Campbell's Soup, not safe here. You have more options in Canada.

Have a BIG time! :D

Here is a fun page from Chex:

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
