Gluten-Free Salad Dressing In Individual Packets

My daughter is going away to school in a month, she will be living in the dorms. We have a lot of favorite salad dressings that we use at home but it isn't really practical for her to carry a bottle of salad dressing in her purse every day.

What I'm looking for are any gluten free salad dressings in individual packets. I once bought some Kraft packets in Florida and they even said Gluten free on them. However they don't carry them in the stores here in MA.

I'll buy them online but when I go to various sites that sell them, like minimus.biz or Amazon I can't tell if they are gluten free or not.

Does anyone have a resource of gluten-free dressings that I can order in individual packets?

Thanks so much!

Susan

I have no personal experience with them, but others have posted in the past about Open Original Shared Link as an online source of single serving you-name-it. The products are name brands, so you can check out the gluten-free status before ordering.

I don't know about individual packets, but I was in the exact same boat last year, going off to college and not knowing how I was going to deal with all that. What I did was got a bunch of the small containers restaurants use for ketchup and stuff (fast food places have a lot of them) and the tops that go with them. I kept a bottle of salad dressing in my mini-fridge in my dorm room and then when I was going to the dining hall or to a restaurant, I'd just pour some into a container (its the perfect amount!) and I was ready to go. Hope this helps!

I found some Annie's and Kraft salad dressings in individual packets at minimus.biz, and you can easily look up which of those are gluten-free. This was about 5 years ago but you can still find them. Also look at foodservicedirect.com.

They're great! I don't know if any of the dressings are gluten-free but they do carry some gluten-free products.

Hello! To help its customers with special dietary needs identify appropriate products, Minimus.biz set up special categories on its website, including one specifically called "Gluten-Free Food." If on the site, click on "Specialty Food," then "Diet Specific Food" and you will see "Gluten Free Food" listed. click on that and you should be able to navigate the category. I hope this helps. Good luck!

      R there any organizations that help with financial costs of food?

      By trents · Posted

      Moms Across America for one. Here's the article that kicked off long thread and more than one thread on Celiac.com this past summer:  Our community feels the testing needs to be tightened up. As of now, GFCO allows food companies to do self-testing and self-reporting. Testing is also done We strongly believe testing needs to be done more frequently and there needs to be drop in, unannounced testing by the FDA and certification groups.

      What celiac watchdog groups have looked into what you mentioned? Thanks.

      Welcome to the forum, @CiCi1021! Well, to begin with, most of us have found it isn't necessary to buy a lot of specifically labeled "gluten free" or "Certified Gluten Free" prepackaged food items as long as you are willing and able to cook from scratch. This is especially true since testing by celiac watchdog groups has cast some serious doubt on how consistently food companies are actually meeting gluten free and certified gluten free standards. It's probably just as effective and certainly less expensive to buy naturally gluten free mainline food products such as fresh meat, vegetables and fruit and prepare your own meals. The only major exception to that in my experience is loaf bread. It's very difficult to make your own gluten free bread products and have them come out decent with regard to texture. The major food companies have invested a lot into that component and have come up with some pretty good stuff that's hard to duplicate for yourself.

      Struggling with costs of all the special food.  Are there any organizations out there that will assist with costs?

      Should I get a second opinion?

      By trents · Posted

      I would ask the GI doc about the elevated IGA score of 401. That one is what we commonly refer to as "total IGA" and also known as "Immunoglobulin A (IgA)". It could be nothing but it can also indicate some other health issues, some of them serious in nature. I would google potential causes for that if I were you. Also, if there is a chance the GI doc will want to do more testing for celiac disease, either antibody testing or an endoscopy with biopsy, you should not cut back on gluten consumption until all celiac disease testing is done. Otherwise, you will invalidate the testing.
