Any tips for Costco?

My girlfriend got me a membership to Costco today because the gluten free food she heard about there. I love the Sabatasso's Pizza in the 3 pack. It's certified by the CSA which tests for under 5ppm. They had a ton and I mean a ton of other stuff marked as gluten free but we all know that really doesn't mean too much sometimes. These stores are all over the country so I'm going to ask everyone at there, What are the best, safe, gluten free foods to get at Costco's?

The Costco rotisserie chicken is our "to go" food.  Yummy and safe.  At our Costco, the chicken guy only handles chicken all day long!  The prep area is away from other food prep areas.  

We buy mostly Whole Foods (fruit, veggies, meat, fish, eggs, dairy, cheese,  rice, etc.) but I buy chips and snacks that are certified gluten free and some that are not certified.  You need to read the labels each and every single time.  

Have fun exploring!

I like Costco but am in uk so our Costco products may differ, but I've found coconut flour, gf 'chips' :P pasta and more. There was a brownie mix which was pretty good if like me your a bit lazy when it comes to baking. The lines seem to vary here so you need to get it before it's gone.

In the refrigerated sections there are some nice falafel and spicy snacks. They have good chorizo which is gf also as well as good selections of fish. 

Reading labels is a must though, I had to give away a big bag of walnuts after I got them home and finally found a wheat warning :(

What about any of the frozen veggies. I know I saw some of the frozen meledy and stir fry mixes that I don't think were seasoned. Any body try those?

Does anybody know if Costco has any gluten-free options at the food court?

I've been eating the chicken Cesar salads without croutons for years without issues.

I find more and more gluten free items at Costco every time I go.  However the last time, I was in a rush near the end of the big shopping trip, and quickly grabbed a PALEO BARS thing that looked great for something to have in my purse when I'm out and around. The label said grain free, but I didn't see the fine print that it was processed on equipment that also processes wheat.  So be careful. 

We regularly get KIND bars, the Sabastino's gluten-free Pizza (freezer), gluten-free Tortilla Chips, gluten-free Pork Tamales (fridge section), Organic Jack's Cantina Salsa gluten-free (fridge section), Hempler's bacon (marked gluten-free), Tillamook cheese.  Lots to choose from, just read the labels carefully like anyplace else.

      Autoimmune Reaction to SO many foods

      By trents · Posted

      I'm a little confused. In your second post you said, "but these symptoms have been ongoing for a long time before the pregnancy" while in your most recent post you say, "I was doing a lot better on the AIP diet. However, I was unable to do the full reintroduction process because I went off the AIP diet when I got pregnant and was experiences chronic nausea." CBC = Complete Blood Count. This is the typical bloodwork most people would have done routinely with an annual wellness checkup. I would include things like iron levels, various blood cell counts including reds and whites and other infection fighters. CMP = Complete Metabolic Panel. This would measure things like blood sugar, kidney and liver function, plasma proteins and various enzymes. Non cellular things that the body produces. Also typical of an annual wellness check. Have you tried cutting out dairy and oats? These two are the most common cross reactors in the celiac community. I know it must be tough trying to get adequate calories and nutrition when you are pregnant while at the same time eliminating foods that are good sources of those things.

      They did. I was doing a lot better on the AIP diet. However, I was unable to do the full reintroduction process because I went off the AIP diet when I got pregnant and was experiences chronic nausea. This is what makes me believe it's food related.  I do check all of my food products and supplements and I am very careful about them being gluten free and trying to stay away from corn starch etc. However, I am eating gluten free breads that sometimes have rice flour, yeast, etc. - I seem to do fine with these breads/bread products some days, but then am sick other days.  I have never really had any GI symptoms outside of bloating. My symptoms are dizziness, brain fog, and a general feeling of unwellness or malaise, sort of like when you're going to get the flu.  I have had a lot of bloodwork done over the last three years, but I don't recall doing the CBC, CMP, or a celiac-specific test recently. That's helpful so that could at least provide some insight to see if I'm still being exposed.  Do you see most individual with celiacs having to take a period of time away from even gluten free breads and other cross-reactive foods to let their guts heal? I'm not sure how restrictive to get with my diet again since it's so challenging.

      Did the symptoms commence after you discontinued the AIP diet? Have you checked all nutritional supplements and oral hygiene products for possible gluten content? Have you recently checked all the labels of purchased processed foods in your pantry to check for formulation changes that might have introduced gluten? Historically, when "glutened" did you have GI symptoms or were you a "silent" celiac whose symptoms were non GI. Is what you are experiencing now like what you were experiencing at the time of diagnosis? Have you had recent blood work done (CBC and CMP) and if so, were there any parameters out of norm? I know you have Hashimoto's but you say that is well controlled now? It certainly wouldn't hurt to get celiac antibodies rechecked. Because you are essentially gluten free I would not expect to see any big departures from normal levels but if there are even weak positives it could indicate you are getting glutened from some unexpected source.

      Hi Trent! Thanks so much for your warm welcome and questions! They do, but these symptoms have been ongoing for a long time before the pregnancy. However, it's hard for me to know what's a celiac response vs. a Hashimotos one. I haven't, maybe it's worth getting those checked again?

      Welcome to the forum, @Maura Gissen! Don't those same symptoms often come along with the territory when pregnant? And then throw in Hashimoto's.  Have you had your celiac antibody levels checked recently?
