We are from Canada and heading to Disneyland early July. I have found great information about where to eat, which restaurants and such. I now need help with what products to buy at the store. We plan to shop at walmart, whole foods, henrys, whatever other mainstream store we come across. I would like to eat breakfast and lunch in our hotel, we will only have a mini fridge. What are some "regular" brands I should look for? (not certified gluten-free or at a special store) If I walked into a store what can I get that is gluten-free...specifically luncheon meats, yogurt, cheese. This may sound dumb but I don't know if you have the same produts we do. I hope this makes sense. Thanks for your help!!

Is yoplait in the US gluten free??

ciavyn Contributor

As far as I know, yoplait is gluten free. But check the label, of course.

In the U.S., I think it's very easy, and I've heard from many that Disney is VERY accommodating. Whole Foods and Trader Joe's are a great gluten free food sources here. I eat very natural foods, typically, so I don't know how much help I can be beyond that. Most major brands are labeled with allergens, but you still have to watch for barley and rye, which are often NOT included in allergens. Other than that, I think you will find it very easy. And have fun!!

Since you'll be in California, you'll probably come across Safeway stores. Their Primo Taglia luncheon meats and cheeses (sold behind the deli counter) are gluten free. Also, the Safeway brand organic yogurts are gluten free. Lay's chips, Kettle chips, and others are also now gluten free as are specially marked boxes of Chex cereals and Cocoa Pebbles or Fruity Pebbles. A great gluten-free cracker that Safeway sells is by Crunchmaster and can be found with the regular crackers. Here's a very complete list of gluten-free "regular" foods than can be purchased at any supermarket here in the U.S.:

I know that you said you live in Canada, and that their are dozens of Costco's there. Do you have a membership? Please advise (it will work here) and I'll give you a complete list of what to buy. There's not one in Anaheim (where Disneyland is located) but Fullerton & Garden Grove have one.

Secondly, hit Trader Joe's in the nearby cities close to Anaheim.

Are you driving from the airport? Let me know and I'll give you plenty of guidance.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      Thanks @Scott Adams. Do you know if Kirkland Signature supplements share facility and production lines with other products containing gluten?  I'm worried that I'll react to this brand just like I did with other gluten-free labelled supplement brands.
