Whole Foods Help

Hi all - I know this has been discussed somewhat but I'm still looking for help as I'm only a few weeks into this.

I've been shopping at Trader Joe's and they have a gluten free list online and also printed me one out at the store so it was very easy shopping there!

Tomorrow I am going to Whole Foods but am having trouble finding a list as detailed as what I found at Trader Joe's.

Can anyone share with me some of the more prepared food products that are gluten free and available at Whole Food's. I believe one person mentioned they have an entire gluten free section? That would be cool.

I've also looked for a place that shows us what gluten-free prepared products we might find at a typical store. Things such as cornflakes or something that might already be on our diet and are available anywhere. This seems like it would be a really great resource but I can't find it, does it exist?

Thanks all, have a great day :).

When you go to the Whole Foods website, select which store you would like to visit. Once you are on the site for your store, on the left hand side, under "Welcome", click on special diets. Then, click on gluten free.

Yes, Whole Foods has their own gluten free bakery (not in the store!) that makes their own line of gluten free bread products. Here is more info: Open Original Shared Link (and for info on their products, on the right hand side, look for more links under the heading "gluten free bakehouse)

Giant, Safeway, Wegman's, etc., also carry gluten free products in the area.

There list has been taken down temporarily for all allergens. I would go and ask for customer assistance. most of them are very knowledgeable and won't mind at the very least, pointing you in the right direction

Regular normal cornflakes will have malt in them that is made from barley, and thus is a no- no. So are regular rice crispies. Regular oatmeal has a very high risk of cross contamination, and some people react to oat proteins anyway. There is now special gluten free oatmeal in a few brands.

Really, about the only safe cereals are those that are specifically marked "gluten free." Those manufacturers are going through extra precautions to guard against contamination. I found some decent gluten free rice crispee type cereals on sale at a health food store last month, for the first time, and should have bought more than 4 boxes, but in case they were duds I didn't want to risk it. Erewhon, I think the brand is called. Rice chex is now gluten free, but you MUST read the labels constantly because ingredients can change at any time with these larger mainstream manufacturers.

      Years of testing - no real answers

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      The intestinal tract can be as long as twenty-two feet long, so intestinal damage may be out of the reach of endoscopy tools.  Some people have had more success with capsule endoscopy, but this method cannot take biopsies.

      What should I do with these test results?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Jack Common, It's possible that your antibiotic for giardiasis has caused thiamine deficiency.   https://hormonesmatter.com/metronidazole-toxicity-thiamine-deficiency-wernickes-encephalopathy/ And... Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/ For clarification, the weight of your slice of bread is not equal to the amount of gluten in it.   Gluten helps form those big holes in breads, so breads like thick chewy pizza crust and artisan breads contain more gluten than cakes and cookies.

      Guidance on next steps after the lab tests

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Sorry about that link.  It was meant for a different post.   Do consider taking high dose Vitamin D in order to get your level up to around 80 nm/l quickly.   This is the level where Vitamin D can properly work like a hormone and can improve the immune system and lower inflammation.  It makes a big difference.   I took high dose Vitamin D and really improved quickly.  I ate Vitamin D supplements throughout the day like m&ms.  My body craved them.  Very strange, I know, but it worked.   Before you have surgery, you really need to improve your vitamins and minerals.  Vitamins A and D, Vitamin C and Niacin are extremely important to skin health and repair.  Without these, the body does not repair itself neatly.  I've got a scar worthy of a horror movie.  My doctors were clueless about nutritional deficiencies. A sublingual Vitamin B12 supplement will work better for boosting levels.  Tablets or liquid drops in the mouth are easily absorbed directly into the blood stream.   Do bear in mind that about half of Celiac people react to the protein in dairy, Casein, the same as they react to gluten because segments of the protein in Casein resembles segments of the protein Gluten.  Some people lose the ability to produce lactase, the enzyme that digests Lactose, the sugar in dairy, as they age.  Others lose the ability to produce lactase because the intestinal Villi become damaged during the autoimmune response against gluten, and damaged chili can't produce lactase.   Do try Benfotiamine.  It has been shown to improve gastrointestinal health and neuropathy. Keep us posted on your progress!

      Thanks sending me additional links including how to test for thiamine deficiency. With regards to your first link, I wasn't diagnosed with giardiasis and I didn't take antibiotic for it. I try to generally stay away from antibiotic unless absolutely necessary as it might affect gut health. For treating phimosis, the doctor didn't give me antibiotics. I need to have a circumcision surgery which I haven't got around to schedule it.

      I'm not vegan, just vegetarian. I consume dairy but not egg. So I have started including some Vitamin D fortified milk as well as a multivitamin with 2000 IU daily. For Vitamin B12, like you said it's very difficult to get it from just vegetarian sources and have started consuming Vitamin B Complex daily. My PCP was worried when my Vitamin D result came out as It was 3.7 ng/ml last year. He said that being low for a lengthy time could have done some damage to the body over the years. Now, though Vitamin D level has improved after the supplements, I'm not sure if the neurological damage has already been done. I'll continue including the supplements and see if my symptoms improve. I'll also get tested for celiac to see if I need to be in gluten-free diet.
