Gluten Free Grocery List

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.

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.

      Hi Jmartes, It sure is difficult to get useful advice from medical providers. Almost 20 years ago a Dr suggested that I might have Celiacs and I took a Celiac Panel blood test. No gluten challenge diet. On that test the tTG was in normal range but an alpha antibody was very high. I went online and read about celiac disease and saw how I could investigate...

      Airborne Gluten?

      I can't prove it, but I truly believe I have been glutened by airborne particles. I used to take care of shelter cats once per week at a pet store, and no matter how careful I was, I would get glutened each time even if I wore a mask and gloves and washed up well after I was done. I believe the problem was that because I'm short, I couldn't do the the tasks...

      Hi Jmartes, It sure is difficult to get useful advice from medical providers. Almost 20 years  ago a Dr suggested that I might have Celiacs and I took a Celiac Panel blood test. No gluten challenge diet. On that test the tTG was in normal range but an alpha antibody was very high. I went online and read about celiac disease and saw how I could investigate this low tTG and still have celiac disease. Normal tTG can happen when a person had been reacting for many years. Another way is that the person has not been eating enough gluten to raise the antibody level. Another reason is that the tTG does not show up on a blood but may show up on a fecal test. Almost all Celiacs inherit at least one of the 2 main Celiac genes. I had genetic tests for the Celiac genes at Enterolab.com. I inherited one main Celiac gene from one parent and the report said that the DQ gene I inherited from my other parent, DQ6, could cause a person to have more problems or symptoms with that combination. One of my grandmother's had fairly typical symptoms of Celiacs but the other grandmother had severe food intolerances. I seem to show some problems inherited from both grandmothers. Human physiology is very complex and researchers are just beginning to understand how different body systems interact.  If you have taken an autosomal DNA test you can download your raw data file and upload it to Prometheuw.com for a small fee and search for Celiac Disease. If you don't find any Cekiac genes or information about Celiac disease  you may not have autoimmune gluten intolerance because more than 99% of Celiacs have one or both of these genes.  PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS IF YOU WANT TO KNOW EHAT i HAVE DONE TO HELP WITH SYMPTOMS.

I used to take care of shelter cats once per week at a pet store, and no matter how careful I was, I would get glutened each time even if I wore a mask and gloves and washed up well after I was done. I believe the problem was that because I'm short, I couldn't do the the tasks without getting my head and shoulders inside their cages, and so the particles from their food would be all over my hair and top of my shirt. Then I had to drive home, so even if I didn't get glutened right then, the particles would be in my car just waiting for me to get in the car so they could get blown into my face again. I gave up that volunteer gig and stopped getting glutened so often and at such regular intervals.

      Airborne Gluten?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @annamarie6655, Yes, there's many of us who react to airborne gluten!   Yes, animal feed, whether for chickens or cats or dogs, can release airborne gluten.  I can get glutened from the bakery section at the grocery store.   The nose and mouth drain into the digestive system and can trigger systemic reactions.   I find the histamine release in response to airborne gluten will stuff up my sinuses and bother my eyes.  High histamine levels do cause anxiety and migraines.  The muscle spasms can be caused by high histamine, too.  The digestive system may not manifest symptoms without a higher level of gluten exposure.   Our bodies make an enzyme, DAO (diamine oxidase), to break down histamine.   Pyridoxine B 6, Cobalamine B12, Vitamin C, copper, zinc, and iron are needed to make DAO.  DAO supplements are available over the counter.  Taking a B Complex supplement and additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) helps reduce the amount of histamine being released.  Mast cells without sufficient Thiamine have an itchy trigger finger and release histamine at the slightest provocation.  Thiamine helps mast cells refrain from releasing their histamine.    I find taking additional TTFD thiamine helps immensely with neurological symptoms as TTFD can easily cross the blood brain barrier without a carrier.  High histamine in the brain can cause the muscle spasms, anxiety and migraines.  Vitamin C really helps with clearing histamine, too.   The Digiorno pizza mystery reaction could have been caused by a reaction to the cheese.  Some people develop lactose intolerance.  Others react to Casein, the protein in dairy, the same as if to gluten because Casein resembles the molecular structure of gluten.  An enzyme used in some dairy products, microbial transglutaminase, causes a gluten reaction because it is the same as the tissue transglutaminase our bodies make except microbes make it.  Those tTg IgA blood tests to diagnose celiac disease measure tissue transglutaminase our bodies release as part of the autoimmune response to gluten.   You're doing great!  A Sherlock Holmes award to you for figuring out the connection between airborne gluten and animal feed!!!
