They have a Gluten Free List on their site of their gluten-free products.

Hi Judyin Philly,

if you look out for a shelf in the Natural Food section. Most Wegman's have their own glutenfree shelf. There's actually a sign hanging from the ceiling that says "glutenfree" over this shelf.

One thing I can absolutely recommen, if you like chocolate. Go to the international section (if you have one in your Wegman's, I always go to the one in State College) and look for "Ritter Sport" chocolate in the german section. Hmmmm! Much much better than Hershey's in my eyes. Hershey's isn't that sweet. Ritter Sport you can really taste the sweetness and it's glutenfree, of course.

Greetings, Stef

Wegmans is the greatest, I am so glad I live near one. It makes shopping so much easier, and more profitable for them, that they mark our safe food with a little orange G. Have fun you'll have lots of choices.

Hi - You are so lucky to have a Wegman's near you!!!

If you go to their website Open Original Shared Link and click on food allergies, there is a whole list of gluten free foods! :D There is a natural food section of the store that will have a lot of gluten-free stuff, and in the freezer section I found Glutino bagels that were wonderful!

Happy shopping. :)

Hugs, Stef

If you go to Food Allergies - Celiac and look at the list, you could print it out (right now it's 28 pages long) ;) , or you could make a list of things you want to look for.

A lot of stuff is in the natural food section, but look around the store - there is a lot to pick from!

There is a Wegmans under construction in South Jersey where I live. It will only be 15 min. away and I can't wait! Should be ready by end of year. My parents have one in Syracuse, NY that they shop at often--my Mom is always telling me about all of the "gluten free foods" that they offer.

Jerseyangel - I was introduced to Wegman's when I was visiting family in New Jersey. The closest one to me (45 minutes away) just opened this month. They say you can't even find a space in the parking lot, it is so crowded.

I'm going to give it a few weeks, and then I am going to shop my heart out! It will be worth the trip. :)

You are so lucky that yours will be that close!

Thanks guys, for all your ideas. We went with the printed list and the customer service manager has celiac disease and she was sooooo helpful as was everyone there.

ONE PROBLEM....got glutten on the 'egg drop soup'. I checked with the chef and he promised it was gluten free. On the drive home throat got tight and I started to itch like crazy. Came home and went to bed for 4 hrs. and then the GI kicked in big time.

I called the next day talked to another chef and she said he was right that it had corn starch BUT also had modified food starch that had WHEAT. The first chef was just so nice and it was a honest mistake but I still paid dearly.

We did get alot of 'snacks' to take on a 6 day vacation and had 3 days to recoop before we left--- thank heavens. We were so hungry on the trip down even my non celiac disease husband had one of the gluten-free bars that they suggested and they were GOOD.

The chef I talked to the next day said her goal was to get a gluten-free item on the food menue for us celiac disease'ers.....I just can't say enough about their customer service but it would be nice if we could eat something out of all the great foods they have in the food court. I know there are salads but I was kinda 'salad' out. if you know what i mean. I just saw these posts, Don't know how i missed them before. Thanks again for writing.

Judy

      For people with celiac disease and corn intolerance from it: Is salt still okay for most people?

      By trents · Posted

      Gluten-like cross reactions to other foods are from the proteins that make them up. Dextrose is the sugar component found in corn.

      I just found out a few days ago that some salt like table salt contains dextrose that’s derived from corn. I’ve been thinking about getting rid of using table salt and just using my own kosher or Himalayan salt, but tbh I’m reluctant to do it. I’ve cut out a lot of things and I don’t really want to cut out anything else that I’m not sure will effect me…in a super small amount that it might be added to salts to stabilize the iodine. I don’t want to be further alienated when I have to go to a restaurant with my friends. Also most of the items at my house that have salt in it canned food etc. are some of the few quick things I can eat- because I’m not the one paying for the food in my household and i can only ask for so much. I’m not in a place financially where I can get a lot of my specialized items- although my family tries their best to get items I Can actually stand. I get I can bring a my own salt with me at a restaurant and ask for no seasoning but it feels like a lot to me- cause I already check for cross contamination and ask if the food has like a high volume of corn in it like cornstarch etc. I’ve also heard most dextrose is not derived from the Zein (corn gluten) portion of it- so it might be safe- but idk if that’s true. I just wanna know if anyone actually responded to it negatively.

      I’m so confused…

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      For my first couple of years after discovering my celiac disease I also had to avoid cow's milk/casein and eggs, as well as other things, but could tolerate duck eggs and sheep and goat's milk products. I'm not sure if you've tried those, but it could be worth testing them out.

      Hello, @Kwinkle, How are you doing?   Have you tried adding a Magnesium supplement?   The B Complex vitamins need magnesium to work properly, especially thiamine vitamin B 1.   Magnesium deficiency symptoms and Thiamine deficiency symptoms both include gas and bloating.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms also include loss of appetite and fatigue.   My gas and bloating resolved rather quickly when I took Benfotiamine (a form of thiamine shown to promote intestinal healing) and Magnesium Glycinate in addition to my B 50 Complex (all twice a day plus the following...).   I found Magnesium L-Threonate or Magnesium Taurate are better when taken with a form of thiamine called TTFD (Tetrahydrofurfuryl dusulfide) because all of these cross the blood brain barrier easily, which corrects the loss of appetite, fatigue and anxiety.    Like @Celiacandme said, keeping a food/mood/poo'd journal is a big help in finding problematic foods, and for making sure your diet is not carbohydrate heavy.  If you're eating a lot if processed gluten free facsimile foods, be aware they do not have vitamins and minerals added to them like their gluten containing counterparts.  For every 1000 kcal of carbohydrates, we need an extra 500 mg of thiamine to turn them into energy and not store them as fat.   Let us know how you're doing!

      Testing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Yes, if you had symptoms when eating gluten ruling out celiac disease won't necessarily mean you'll be able to eat gluten again, although it might mean that you may be able to be less strict with your gluten-free diet.
