Since going on a gluten free diet, I have had periodic problems still, that consisted of bloating, gas, constipation and so on. A friend of mine sent me this link and I found it to be very interesting.
I think I might message my doctor to find out if they have any testing at our Fairview Clinic to see if I have any cross reactive issues.

IF YOU ARE STILL HAVING GLUTEN SYMPTOMS AND ON A STRICT GLUTEN FREE DIET, THIS MIGHT BE YOUR PROBLEM.

Trader Joe's Gluten Free Product List #1

This list is a sampling of the many Gluten Free products we carry. It is designed to help you make informed buying decisions that address your specific dietary concerns.
GLUTEN FREE — Per the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) gluten free labeling regulation, a product that displays a “Gluten Free” claim on the label has been validated to contain less than 20 parts per million (ppm) of gluten. If you see “Gluten Free” on a Trader Joe’s product, this means that the product has been validated to contain less than 20 ppm of gluten. Individuals with Celiac Disease or Gluten Sensitivity must avoid gluten for their health.
This guide is not comprehensive and is only intended to serve as a resource, not as a substitute for medical advice or care. We do our best to keep the information on our list relevant, posting updates on a quarterly basis. With that said, we introduce and discontinue products all the time, and some products may be available only seasonally or regionally, so it is critical to read all product labels carefully before purchasing and consuming a product to ensure that the current label has a gluten free claim, as ingredients and suppliers may change. Contact us with product inquiries here.
  • Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, rye, and their derivatives.
  • As a general rule of thumb, dairy, juice, meat, nuts and produce do not inherently contain gluten.
  • Use common sense and remember the motto: When in doubt, leave it out.
  • Regional or seasonal availability is noted next to the product in (parentheses).
  • Always read the label before purchasing and consuming a product to ensure that the current label has a gluten free claim, as ingredients and suppliers may change.

Aldi's Foods



Have you heard of ALDI'S FOODS?.
This is a pretty amazing store which carries a pretty large variety of food. This store also happens to include A PRETTY GOOD SELECTION OF GLUTEN FREE FOOD.

Aldi's is known for labeling majority of all of their products "Naturally gluten free", so there is no confusion.
This to me is a huge relief when shopping. What is more stressful then walking through a store and having to stop to search on your phone to see if that product is gluten free for sure. Aldi's makes it easy for you.

Their gluten free pancake mix is super amazing and pretty good on price. You get several portions in just one box.

Check out their website below and find a store near you!
