I have found every store has different stuff. I think you can go to customer service and ask if you can look around.

We do use Costco. I get things like paper goods (paper towels, toilet paper), soaps (detergent, dish soap), dried mangoes, dried nuts, frozen stuff ... Also single-serve hummus containers.

I found big boxes of gluten-free crackers there, big boxes of gluten-free cereal, organic Quinoa at good prices! I am in Canada, Southern Ontario but I was impressed with the stuff they had...I also seem to remember thinking that their Kirkland brand stuff was pretty well labeled.

I definitely love Costco, but I was disappointed in the range of gluten-free items at my local stores. They no longer carry the big boxes of Bell and Evans chicken nuggets, for example. Also they don't have the Delimex taquitos. I find I have better luck buying gluten-free things like crackers and Chebe mix in bulk online.

There are some threads here where members have listed their finds. It does seem to vary by location and stock changes from time to time. We shop there alot and find many gluten-free things.

I use Amazon... I have a Prime account so two day shipping is free. They definitely don't have everything, though, either.

We save a bunch on just mainstream things like eggs, mayo, soda, meats, frozen chicken breasts and thighs, frozen veggies, Lara bars. olives, progresso new england clam chowder, etc.

Last week, they were sampling gluten free tamales, which we bought and froze.

But beware of some of their snack things, like Cashew Squares - -

says is big letters on front "Gluten Free"

but on back says processed on shared equipment that also processes wheat.

I didn't notice the back package print until my son and I had eaten the squares and gotten bad belly-whompus! We don't get those anymore!

Since the day that Costco opened its first building DECADES ago, they had gluten free products at exceptional prices. The only issue is that they were not labeled gluten free and most likely they are not labeled as such today. Do I have you thoroughly confused? I hope not, as here is the list of gluten free items that are on my Costco shopping list each week:

- Frozen fish

- Fresh blueberries

- Greek yogurt

- Eggs

- Lean flank steak

- Fresh blackberries

- Low fat cottage cheese

- Lean pork tenderloin

- All natural and lean lunchmeats (turkey especially)

- Fresh apples

- Mixed gourmet nuts

- Roasted almonds

- Low fat cheese

- Fresh fish

- Green tea

- Frozen turkey burgers

- Frozen salmon burgers

- Fresh salad kits

- Low fat cheese

Although I give VERY high marks (and high fives) to those food manufacturers that are creating new items in the dry area and center of the building, shop the perishable and frozen sections FIRST. Nature's best gluten-free items have been around for thousands of years.

Kirkland tires, Kirkland Toilet Paper, and Kirkland Laundry detergent are all gluten-free. (Christmas eve joke. Kidding of course).

NO NOT ALL KIRKLAND BRAND ITEMS ARE GLUTEN FREE.

The point I am trying to make is that you should shop the perishable departments for branded and private label items first. Commodity items are typically gluten-free. (fresh meat, produce, and dairy)

Let your eyes be the final judge and read all labels.

This might be my favorite post ever on this board! You missed a few though.

- Basmati rice in bulk, cheap!

- Artichokes for great prices when they're in season

- Artichoke hearts in jars when they're not

- Asian pears

- Sweet peppers

- Potatoes

- Hummus

- Celery (to eat with the hummus)

- Imported sharp cheddar

- Canned olives

- Three-bean salad

- Coffee (Starbuck's roasts for Kirkland at half the price)

- Bottled water

- Wine

:P

Costco is great for buying the meat, fish, nuts, potatoes, rice, and produce that should make up the bulk of a gluten-free diet. Mine also has a lot of naturally gluten-free processed foods but it's not the bulk of my shopping. Some of the stuff I've grabbed there are Progresso soups, Cattle Drive chicken chili, Kirkland pulled pork, Pirate's Booty, Mrs. May's nut crunch, Crunchmaster rice crackers, and Kirkland organic corn chips.

Hmmmmm did you sneak into my house last night with Santa Clause and steal my weekly shopping list? LOL

I forgot about the pulled pork! The Other White Meat with a White Christmas!

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Medication

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the community! Generally, for a gluten challenge before celiac disease blood tests, Tylenol (acetaminophen) is considered safe and should not interfere with your antibody results. The medications you typically need to avoid are those like ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve) that can cause intestinal irritation, which could potentially complicate the interpretation of an endoscopy if you were to have one. However, it is absolutely crucial that you confirm this with either your gastroenterologist or your surgeon before your procedure. They know the specifics of your case and can give you the definitive green light, ensuring your surgery is comfortable and your celiac testing remains accurate. Best of luck with your surgery tomorrow
