Gluten Free Grocery List

Boilermaker

I am newly diagnosed with celiac. I was wondering if anyone can any gluten free grocery lists? Or any links to websites with a good gluten free grocery list?

I know the basics, but I am scared my grocery trips are going to take hours with reading labels, and thought if someone else had already come up with some lists I could look at that would be helpful!

Thanks in advance! :)

If you shop the outside aisles of the store for mostly whole unprocessed foods that makes it easier at first.

Unless you have a Wegmans close by, (they put a circle G on their gluten-free stuff) you will have to read most labels unfortunately.

Kraft and Unilever will label clearly, there are others also but those are the companies that most come to my mind. Hormel has gluten free lunch meats, they are in a brown package that says gluten free. Oscar Myer is a good company also for that stuff. Yoplait yogurt labels their gluten free yogurts and almost all are.

Thai Kitchen makes some gluten free products, I use their rice pasta a lot. The labels will say gluten free on them.

Delmonte canned tomatoes, fruits etc are gluten free.

Single ingredient frozen veggies and fruits are also safe.

You might want to check out the Gluten free Grocery Shopping Guide (I am hoping it's ok to suggest a specific book?). It lists 100's of different name brand products that are safe. However.... you must still check all ingredients before buying. The book was accurate as of publication date and as well all know much too well product ingredients change. It is a good guideline to get you started. I shopped with that book for months & it really helped - but again, be sure to double check ingredients before you buy!

Both can be very helpful in the first year, while you learn to read labels. The preference is to be a good label reader and not to depend on manufacturers listings, due to frequent changes in product formulations.

As Lisa said, formulas change all the time. Lists can help you decide which products to look at, but they are not a substitute for reading the label.

Thanks! I know that formulas change and I have to label read everything. This weekend will be my first real grocery shopping trip to stock up on gluten free items. I am just feeling a bit overwhelmed and nervous!

Thanks for the support and ideas!

It is hard at first but it will get easier. For this first shopping trip give yourself lots of time and try to relax if you can. Take a short list of the companies that label well and perhaps give yourself a treat once you get home.

Lea&Perrins Worchestershire Sauce

Hunts/Heinz Catsup

JELLO

Cheetos

Fritos

Lays Staxx - all varieties

Dove Promisses

Life Savers - Wintergreen

All Butter

Daisy Sour Cream

Kraft Dressing will clearly label all gluten

Thank you! I'll use this as a basic start to my shopping list when I go gluten-free. Reading this makes it all seem so painless! Fresh fruits, veggies, and unprocessed meats, along with bisquick gluten free ... just about covers everything.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I don't know if I am getting sufficient Omega Threes. I read about phosphotidyl choline may cause heart issues. I will have o do further research on heathy Omega 3 supplements or from foods. Is there a blood test that can tell you everything level in your system such as Thiamine, Benfotiamine levels etc? Thanks

      If lectins were my problem, I would react to wheat germ (the highest source of wheat lectins) and beans. I don't. I only react to bread and pasta, which are the highest sources of gluten.

      Welcome to the forum @Known1, What reaction were you expecting? Pipingrock.com High Potency Vitamin D3, 2000 IU, 250 Quick Release Softgels $6.89 I've have been taking the 10,000 IU for close to 10 years. When I started with vitamin D I worked my way up to 10000 over several weeks.  Even at 8000 I felt no noticeable difference.  Then after a few days at 10000 it hit Whoa, sunshine in a bottle.  celiac disease causes malabsorption of dietary D and you've poor UV access.  It took me from 2015 to 2019 to get my 25(OH)D just to 47 ng/ml.  Another two years to get to 80.  70 to 100 ng/ml seems to be the body's natural upper homeostasis  based on lifeguard studies.  Dr. Holick has observed the average lifeguard population usually has a vitamin D 3 level of around 100 ng/ml. Could it be that our normal range is too low given the fact that ¾ or more of the American population is vitamin D deficient? Your Calcium will increase with the vitamin D so don't supplement calcium unless you really need it.  Monitor with PTH  and 25(OH)D tests. Because of your Marsh 3 damage you need to ingest way more than the RDA of any supplement to undo your specific deficiencies. I believe you are in the goiter belt.  Unless you have reason not to, I recommend pipingrock's Liquid Iodine for price and quality.  The RDA is 150 to 1100 mcg.  In Japan the safe upper level is set at 3000 mcg.  Start with one drop 50 mcg to test for adverse response and build up.  I found 600 mcg (12 drops) a day is helping repair my body.  Iodine is necessary to healing.  90% of daily iodine intake is excreted in urine.  A Urine Iodine Concentration (UIC) can tell how much Iodine you got that day.  The thyroid TSH test will not show iodine deficiency unless it is really bad.

Therefore, my issue is wheat-specific (Gluten/ATIs), not a general lectin issue.   I have eaten a supposedly high lectin diet (I say supposedly because lectin content in these foods is greatly reduced by proper cooking and I eat very few of those foods raw, and even then, rarely!!) for years. My health has improved greatly on my whole foods plant forward diet. I have asked all my drs and a registered dietician about my diet, asked if eating such a high amnt of fiber might interfere with the digestion of any other nutrients and the answer has always been NO.     while doing the gluten challenge I did not eat ANY wheat germ (since it doesn't have hardly any gluten, and I was too sick from the bread and pasta to want to eat much anyway) I will NOT put that poison in my body again. That was a horrific experience and if this is what most celiac patients have to deal with, I am very sorry for them I don't care if I have celiac or NCGS I won't intentionally cause myself that much pain and suffering it's not worth it.

      @catnapt,  Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract.  They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows.   Even beans have lectins.  You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract.   You may want to allow your digestive tract to rest for a week, then start on gluten in "normal" food, not in concentrated vital wheat gluten. This explains it well: Lectins, agglutinins, and their roles in autoimmune reactivities https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25599185/
