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.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      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

      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.
