The Must-Have List

I've begun compiling a list of staples for the fridge and pantry, as well as a wide range of gluten-free food items to make shopping a little easier. I'll be adding to these lists as I think of/find new products.

Fridge & Pantry Staples
  • corn tortillas
  • rice cakes
  • brown rice
  • peanut butter
  • rice or soy beverage
  • Tamari sauce (soy sauce alternative)
  • potatoes
  • frozen berries and other fruit
  • canned tuna
  • polenta

Other GF Products
  • Rice, Corn, or Chocolate Chex
  • Trader Joe's Gluten-Free Granola - 11% DV Fiber, 6% DV Iron, 20% DV Vitamin E, 4g Protein
  • Trader Joe's Crunchy Curls (potato & lentil flours) - 17% DV Fiber, 6% DV Iron, 3g Protein
  • Trader Joe's Rice Noodle Soup Bowls - roughly 1/2 your DV of Sodium in just one bowl, but quick & super cheap w/8% DV Vitamin C in the Spring Onion flavor
  • Trader Joe's Chicken Sausage, all varieties


Hidden Gluten, aka "No-no's": Read the Ingredients!
  • Soy Sauce (contains wheat flour)
  • Malt flavoring, extract, etc. (comes from barley)
  • modified food starches (may be "contaminated" with gluten)
  • shampoos, lotions, cosmetics, etc. containing wheat or oats
