What Do You Buy From Costco, Sams?

I don't have a membership currently to either. I used to have one to Costco but decided I was wasting too much time (the place is a madhouse) and money. I know they sell gluten free crackers for good prices in bulk. I'm considering re-joining because I also want to increase my fruits and veggies and their quality was always very good. What other gluten free items are sold at Costco or Sams? Which one has a better selection?

I don't know about Sam's, but at Costco I get butter, chicken, veggies of one sort or another, eggs, and a couple of years ago I got the computer monitor I'm using right now through costco.com for a good price! I recently got a big box of Mary's gone crackers since it had a coupon, but I still haven't tried them yet. It may end up being one of the few items with soy I'll eat on occasion. The price for that large box (after $2 off) was actually less than the price for a small box at a natural foods store I go to. Oh yeah, I also get the extra light olive oil I use for mayo at Costco.

I used to get their hamburg, but I started reacting to beef so for now I don't get it. They also have lara bars available. They also have a good cheese selection, if you can eat that. I'm hoping I can soon.

Try the Kirklands pulled pork at costco, tasty. I also like to get a few bags of (kirkland) mission chips which are cheap and are great to munch on between meals.

Rotisserie Chicken at Sam's Club is NOT gluten free....FYI

My MILK brought a rotisserie chicken home from Costco last week that was gluten free. It's little simple things that make me happy. She also brought home some maple sunrise cereal that is delicious. It's a nice crunchy breakfast that's good with some fresh or dried fruit added. (I want to say the brand is Nature's something or other, I don't feel like trekking up the stairs to the kitchen to check.) I don't have my own membership but will probably get one soon since she seems to find so many things to bring home.

Samsclub chicken is gluten free. It says so right on the package and we have NEVER had any reaction to it. We buy a lot of products (most listed above) from both places. I would say Costco has more Gluten Free options available. Ours now carry gluten-free waffles also.

I was referring to the pre-cooked Rotisserie, Whole Chicken, that contains wheat on the label.

Totally forgot about them, but was super excited when I read the package in January. Costco has chicken cranberry jalapeno meatballs that are gluten free. I pop open a can of cranberry sauce (jellied or whole berry, whatever flips my fancy that day) and throw it in a pan with good measure of Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce and some brown sugar. So good on rice, and I don't think they're spicy at all.

We buy Rudi's gluten-free bread at Costco! 2 packages for $7.89--we buy 8 loaves at a time! (4 of us gluten-free in this family!)

We go to Costco. I have noticed that different Costco's have different items. 2 years ago, we went to the one in Reno & they had almond flour and a couple of others I can't remember now. Not at our Costco in Kansas. Some people have gotten a gluten-free tortellini or ravioli but I look every time..... :angry:

I do get my favorite Crunchmasters crackers. When Costco was out, my neighbor let me use her SAMs to get some I needed for a party.

Essential Baking Company bread

Kirkland organic chicken stock

I've been known to pick up meatballs and warm chickens on occasion.

I get frozen veggies and fruits and chicken breasts.

My husband stocks up on Trio bars there, they also have Lara bars but he isn't the fan I was before I had to give them up. (can't have dates, they're perfectly safe for us)

Fruit leather (I don't remember the brand but it is awesome!)

Crunchmaster Crackers

 

They have rice at my local Costco that is all non-gmo and blah blah blah super health stuff all over the package but I forget the brand. Starts with an L or something. I have enough rice in my storage to feed a small army though so I'm not buying any at the moment. 

 

I don't buy, but did at one point confirm with them that Kirkland brand rice milk is actually gluten free (not processed with barley like a certain brand) and is very reasonably priced. But since I am drinking cow milk these days I'm not going to spend money on rice milk. As always, double check these sorts of things yourself before purchasing as it has been quite some time since I attempted to be dairy free. (yeah... screw that)

We love to shop at Costco... it makes my gluten-free 3 yr old very happy that they always, always have gluten-free samples.  Seriously... for every gluten sample they have, there is another nearby booth with a gluten-free sample!

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
