I'm packing the family up and crossing the border tomorrow to pick up some Udis products and hit up the Wegmans.

I'm from Canada and we have a lot fewer gluten free products than you folks in the US.

Can anybody give me suggestions of some of your favourite gluten free products from Wegmans (or even other large chains) so I have an idea what to pick up? I'm sure I'm not even aware of half the products available in the States......

Thanks!

Boy are you in for a great time! I think you are going to be overwhelmed with how much stuff under their private label is gluten-free. Their Natures Marketplace will have some gluten free frozen items, what they have varies by store. The one where I usually shop doesn't have as much as one in a city 15 miles away from me so every once in a while I go there with iced coolers to get gluten free burritos, frozen mac and cheese and gluten-free frozen soups etc and some out of the world good, but expensive cheesecakes.

They carry a couple different breads that I like, Grainless Baker is my favorite for bread and hamburger and hotdog buns and they usually have chocolate and cinnamon Kinninickkinnick doughnuts and pizza shells. Kinnie pizza shells come 4 to a package so for me they are a good value over the premade gluten-free pizzas when I grab some Wegmans pizza sauce and cheese. I don't know if you have Hormel pepperoni there if you don't and you like pizza grab some of that also.

With the name brand food on the regular aisles my favorite to go for (other than regular meal prep stuff) is their pickles, not all are labeled gluten free as they have a distilled gluten grain sensitive person in the family so they don't label pickles or BBQ and such made with distilled gluten as safe. I really appretiate that.

In general if you are looking at a product that comes in different sizes and one has the circle G and another size doesn't there is a reason for that. I have seen that most often in the nuts aisle. So do look for the Circle G and go with that size.

The meat dept is really good also and if you see any item that you have doubts about they will call the company headquarters or check their list for you while you wait to check if it is safe. I did that last week with a meatloaf mix that had beef, pork and veal and 'natural flavors'.

I think your going to be pleased with the selection, price and quality and do bring a cooler or two or three for frozen and refrigerated stuff.

Don't forget to pick up some Lea & Perrin's Worcestershire Sauce. It's gluten free in the US, but not in Canada.

And stock up on Chex Cereal. Five varieties are gluten free in the US.

No Campbell's Soup, not safe here. You have more options in Canada.

Have a BIG time! :D

Here is a fun page from Chex:

      Confused with test results

      By Dhruv · Posted

      @trents I absolutely understand the perspective of getting off completely from wheat,  but sometimes situation may occur that you won't have choice to eat other than wheat,  my son travels a lot, since they travel in team, it's not easy to go out and find him a gluten free every single time! I have seen, even in NJ I m struggling to find out gluten free stuff, in this country we don't get fresh food in stores, other day i saw gluten free bread so hard that will never feel to eat it! Once in while means once in a while, when there is no absolute option. Here all goes by book, there is no enough scientific research done yet on eating gluten with celiac,  everyone has there own narrative,  only it being said don't eat wheat, but Noone has come up with the experience. And moreover my sons diagnosis is yet to define, whether he has celiac or NCGS. last time his endoscopy came negative hence doctor did not bother to tell us. I hope this time it will be the same case. We are figuring out why his billirubin is high, may be that could be the reason his igg iga test is high, will get check on all and come to the conclusion. My son and us is absolutely fine not eating gluten, but one can't guarantee that every time they will get the gluten free food other than home. I also don't trust under the table of "gluten free products" have see people still have same iga igg count even after following the diet. This is all learnings, will keep him under observation and go through the regular testing to find out how his body reacts to what.  I may sound like a fool, but medical is scam in US, hence i would consult doctors in India. 14 years ago they have announced i had a breast cancer, which was not, since then I don't trust medical system here.

      Travel Abroad

      I've been to Italy recently for a wedding and it was excellent. I made my own gluten-free sandwiches/pannini to take on the flights.  Spain is good and you can get good gluten-free breads in the supermarkets there. The UK and Ireland are very good also. Australia would be good since Coeliac Disease is fairly common there ...1 in 70 as opposed to 1 in 100 in other countries. You have to advocate for yourself in restaurants when eating out. I've read about several Coeliacs being cross contaminated from preordered gluten-free meals on airlines. Personally, I wouldn't trust a gluten-free meal on an airline especially long haul. Try the hashtag celiactravel on tiktok and instagram. Loads of Coeliacs posting about their experiences with plenty travel tips. The Atly app has a list of gluten-free friendly restaurants worldwide.
