Ok im so excited! A whole Foods just opened up like 5 min from my house! I went in today and it was packed! But I was so happy with the gluten free selection, and its all labeled nicely and it tells you that its gluten free! There were so many cupcakes and cakes and cookies and crackers! thats stuff I haven't had in 9 months! Its pricey, not something ill get all the time but it will be a nice treat to have every once in a while! I was just standing there in AWW almost in tears from joy looking at all the stuff! just had to let everyone know....

It really is great!

At a local WF, they periodically have gluten free tastings, coupons, gluten-free vendors come in ....so keep an eye out for that to happen at yours!

Try the Whole Foods brand gluten-free Bakehouse - particularly their pizza crusts, their cornbread, and their new chocolate cupcakes.

They opened one to the city to the south of me, in Roseville, but they've deliberately scattered and spread out all the gluten free goods all over the store to increase the amount of time and effort one has to spend searching for the products. There is a gluten free aisle, but it only has a few items on it. Ditto the premade frozen gluten-free aisle. This makes it really difficult to compare labels, ingredients, and prices, too. And I really don't want to see the little bags of specialty type spelt flour or the regular bread flour or cornmeal mixes, or other bags of possibly gluten containing flours sitting on the shelf right next to the gluten free flours, it's a huge turnoff.

Really, really, big time wasting annoying, because this store is also in a high traffic area if you don't live in the immediate vicinity, so it's not a casual trip. My local groceries and health food stores, which have much more user friendly layouts, a bit cheaper pricing on a lot of the same items, and try harder, will continue to get the bulk of my shopping. There is another Whole Foods in Sacramento near Arden mall, and they, the last time I was there, had a much more organized gluten-free aisle.

It's fun to go there and just look, if you want to blow time.

You are too funny! :D I am lucky that I live in the state where WF started and I have access to quite a few so I know your joy. Just don't go overboard on their treats or you'll gain weight but it sure is nice to be able to just buy some cupcakes when you want them. I have to admit when I find a new gluten-free product that looks really good, I get as excited as a kid on Christmas morning!

I travel approximately 2 hours to get to my nearest Whole Foods. I do this about every 1-2 months. My local grocery store (about 20 minutes away) carries the basic MiDel cookies, 1-2 brands of cereal, bread mixes & pizza crusts.) I usually shop there between visits to Whole Foods.

Consider yourself lucky!!!!

      Chicken Thighs

      Here is a link to the skin version, and the only ingredients are "chicken": https://www.perduefarms.com/en-US/perdue-bone-in-chicken-thighs-pack/60625.html There should also be ingredients and any allergens listed there on the package.

      Chicken Thighs

      Welcome to the forum, @BeeBarnard! I really can't imagine how either skin or skinless chicken thighs could not be gluten free unless one or the other were treated with some seasoning ingredient that was not gluten free. Do the product labels indicate any additional ingredients added to the meat? Is your daughter a super sensitive celiac? If not, the...

      Chicken Thighs

      HI, My daughter was recently diagnosed with Celiac and I would like to make her some chicken soup (she's got he flu). I found all gluten free ingredients but I'm having trouble with the chicken. I purchased Purdue bone-in chicken thighs from BJ's Wholesale Club. Purdue says that they are gluten free but the BJ's website says no. It seems like skin-on chicken...

      Cooking with Scallop Medalions

They had other appies to choose from so all's well that ends well. The Costco scallops are excellent but 4 x the price. Thanks!

      Perimenopause/menopause

      Hello there, it's been ages since I signed into this account. Wanted to see if there were other celiac patients that have gone through perimenopause/menopause and chose to take estrogen or wear an estrogen patch? I know all of our bodies are different but curious how it went or is going for you. Thanks so much.

Do the product labels indicate any additional ingredients added to the meat? Is your daughter a super sensitive celiac? If not, the amount of gluten cross contamination found in seasonings is usually inconsequential.
