Oh, have fun! Around here Whole Foods has Glutino, Udi's, Rudi's, Kinnikinnick, Tinkyada, Mary's Gone Crackers plus all the (expensive) stuff from their own dedicated gluten-free bakery. They also have their own 365 Brand rice crackers that are cheap.

Some of my favorites are:

Glutino bagels (Udi's are good too)

Glutino cinnamon raisin bread

Rudi's whole grain bread

Whole Foods brand scones - they make cranberry and almond and usually have one or the other

Udi's cinnamon rolls

Udi's muffins (they are just like gluten muffins - sweet and huge!)

Kinnikinnick donuts - I like the chocolate covered

Glutino pretzels

Glutino table crackers (the little square boxes)

365 brand rice crackers

Tinkyada brown rice spinach pasta

I saw the cinnamon rolls on their web site and was hoping they tasted good because they sounded soooo good! Thanks for all the tips on the other ones :)

Besides the usual gluten-free substitutes for bread and pasta, I really enjoy Whole Food's frozen Indian dinners in the freezer section. Their Tiki-Masala is one of the best that I've had, and I've tried a bunch of other brands. I know my local store also has a large gluten-free seafood section, so look for that if you want battered fish, shrimp, or crab cakes. Also a good place to find gluten-free soy sauce.

I was finally able to go to whole foods. I was VERY disappointed! They didn't have much of what their list said they did besides the naturally gluten-free stuff :( The stuff they had in stock I can get at my local grocery store for much cheaper.

That's really odd. Did you ask someone for the gluten-free section? My Whole Foods has a couple big sections in the freezer with all the gluten-free baked goods.

Aw, that's too bad. We've run into the much cheaper issue, but our whole foods was a pain in the butt to find gluten-free foods at. They have a gluten free section, but then they only put SOME of their gluten free foods there. The others are hidden around the store. And sometimes, I have no freaking clue why they picked the sections they picked for things. Like, gluten-free chocolate chips weren't in the gluten-free section OR with the other chocolate chips. They were with some peanut free stuff off by itself at the end of a row because they were also peanut free. <_<

So far, I have yet to be to a whole foods that has a well organized gluten-free section, and I've been to whole foods in 7 different states....as of two days ago, LOL.

EXACTLY! I had to hunt around for things. I litterally had to go up and down every asile which was a pain. The staff was helpful in finding things for me, but I can't give them a list of things for them to find if I don't know really know what it is they have in the first place. They do have a list of gluten-free stuff but it has a ton of naturally gluten-free stuff on it as well which makes the list 20 pages long and too much to sort through for me. I guess I'll just stick to good ole' run of the mill grocery store jewel osco (aka albertsons).

Against the Grain baguettes!! omg, they taste almost like what I remember a gluten one tasting like. They are SO yummy. At my WF they're in the frozen bread section. I can't buy this anywhere else in town. -- Also Glutino crackers. I love these because they are almost like regular Ritz-type crackers, not the slippery rice cracker texture. I can buy these at one other store near me besides WF. -- I also love the buffet area because WF is so good about labeling every single thing.

Other than those things I personally can find anything else cheaper somewhere else. But, for you that depends on where you live.

Gluten Free Enviro - Kids AMAZON Frosted Flakes. So yummy, I could sit and eat a whole box. I know it's marketed for kids but once I tasted my nephew's I was hooked.

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      Welcome to the forum. Is the nausea associated with eating certain foods, or anything else in particular?  Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months.

      Absolutely my point with Kerrigan, the owner. She stood to secure many years of faithful patronage by simply inviting us in for a pastry or lunch. Or by simply producing another $50 e-card based on trust. We would have been highly satisfied. We are limited to a few restaurants in the area, and that would have been one. It was very disappointing, esp to my wife, to realize we can't patronize the place anymore.

      You would think any business would see the wisdom of honoring a $50 gift certificate on the basis of customer satisfaction alone, apart from any questions about software glitches.
