There are many options here that you will not choose when you have been on the diet more than a month or so and are becoming healthier. But having a list when I was first diagnosed really made life easier.
AS ALWAYS, check labels, recipes do change, and HAPPY EATING.

have you used Progresso Creamy Mushroom soup to cook with? Does it turn out like Campbell's?
Thanks

I didn't see it on your list but I have read that Reese' cups are ok to eat... Is that correct?
I'm afraid that McDonalds french fries contain wheat as an ingredient (not just a cross contamination issue). Here is the link to the website:
http://nutrition.mcdonalds.com/nutritionexchange/ingredientslist.pdf
Yes, Jenn, there is a huge battle in the celiac community about wheat and McDonalds. The DC community blog DC Celiacs are always up in arms about it. The newest thing is Wheat starch shows up testing at under 50 ppm (parts per million) and most celiac docs approve this amount. So, I'm eating them.
Most Reese's peanut butter cups are fine, but watch the special holiday shaped ones. I've seen those with questionable ingredients.
As a new Celiac, I have been in mourning many of my favorite foods. Thanks to this list I can still enjoy many of them.
Hi
My 5 year old daughter has celiac disease. I saw that you have fritos and cheetos on your gf list. On their web site they show that the cross contamination an issue. But the lays stax is made in mexico and state that they are gluten free. Thanks for starting this list I am trying to get organized too!
Lynn
Sorry about the snack list. I eat less of these processed foods now that I'm five years into the diet, but in the beginning, I was desperate for snack foods. Unfortunately breakfast, lunch and dinner were fritos, cheetos and candy bars. I wasn't as concerned with contamination as I was starving to death!
I have just recently been diagnosed with celiac and I have found that Boston Pizza offers their pizza gluten free and MOST VH sauces are gluten free as well just a few have barley extract. I am from Canada and Im not sure if this will help you... Thank you for all the great ideas and an extensive list of all the foods we can still eat!!
I was told modified corn starch is as bad as modified food starch. Hunts pudding snacks have the modified corn starch in them, therefore it is my concern they are on the list as gluten free.
Thanks for the question, modified food starch is okay as long as it's not foreign made. See the following article. Good eating!
http://www.glutenfreeceliacweb.com/2009/05/21/is-modified-food-starch-gluten-free/
http://www.penny.ca/Hunts.htm
Here is a list of all of Hunts gluten-free foods--Thank goodness pudding is on the list. But I still prefer to make my own unless I'm traveling.
I wanted to respond about fruit being gluten free. Not entirely sure but was told recently that the sprays used on some raw fruits and veggies could have gluten and that wax like that wax found on apples can have gluten in it. Just wanted to share... but like I said ive done no real research myself.
Um...it's actually spelled "Kinnickinnick" and they're located in Edmonton, Alberta. Well worth checking out (especially their new fresh bread and baguettes).
It's on her list....thank god lol
can you freeze gf cheese sauce
Hi, I don't know which cheese sauce, whether homemade or processed. My recent luck with sour cream and whipping cream is no. Most will separate and coagulate, but some manufactured and processed will respond better to freezing.
Just curious, why are you freezing it?
Velveeta cheese need to be taken off this list. Says right on the package CONTAINS WHEAT...
I checked recently and actually Vienna sausages still aren't gluten free.
We'll check again on Velveeta and Vienna sausages, thanks for keeping us current!
Thanks everyone for reviewing this list and trying to keep everyone updated. I still can't believe how many people get on here and use this old list and it's important for those of us who have new info to post. WE APPRECIATE YOU!
From Hormel's site in 2009, sausage is Gf. However, use Libby's if you have conflicting advice.
im significantly new to this whole gluten free diet, this list has helped out alot with my own product research. though i am gluten and dairy free, this has helped narrow my list down... thank you to those who put these info sites up!!
General Foods International Coffee "Cafe Au Lait" is, according to their own site, and based on lengthy personal experience, 100% gluten free. Check the General Foods site for other flavors, but I believe they are all gluten free. I have also had no problem with Dove Dark Chocolate ice cream bars, which is great as they are my one and only special treat! Also, Armour Corned Beef Hash is 100% gluten free according to the Armour site and personal experience. Tillamook Cheddar Cheese is GF according to their website and personal experience. Ore-ida Tater Tots are supposed to be GF but have made me very sick on two occasions, which is very sad.
Thanks, Alice
I just discovered Cheez Whiz is most definitely NOT gluten free, made me sick for days. I should have known considering how heavily processed it is. I'm new to this so still learning but it only takes me getting sick once to try and be more careful.
Thanks for your input on Cheez Whiz. Kraft has promised to label all products, and their site does not list a gluten ingredient for Whiz, and like you, it does make me sick--not from gluten. I know that the processing of dairy products will make new sufferers sick! Most guts need at least a year to heal--sometimes more. Sorry, hope you feel better soon.
Thank you for posting this. My husband is having issues with gluten and having a list like this does help. We are right now doing it by trial and error seeing what bothers him and what doesn't.
In addition to all the Chex flavors listed, they also have vanilla which is gluten-free! Thanks so much for this list. I am newly diagnosed with Celiac and am feeling very discouraged. This definitely helps!!

can anyone tell me if a non-fat iced mocah from McDonald's is gluten free without the dizzle on top I really want to know
Skittles and smarties are gluten free also.
Chex now makes GF certified oatmeal!!!! Yay!
I was diagnosed two years ago and still coming across "questionable" items. Although you list Vienna sausage as gluten-free (and Amrour & Libby both state this on their respective websites as well), I'm still leery. They're packed in chicken broth, which often contains gluten. BTW, Imagine Foods chicken, beef and vegetable broth and stock are gluten-free.
Yes they do and it's really good
Thank you for putting this list together. It is very much appreciated!
Hello chex says its gluten free but when I tried the regular kind I felt instantly sick :( im so confused! Plz help. Im STARVING !!! Also I would love to eat hormel chili, what kinds can I eat?
Very nice blog

Thanks for share the info. Im newly diagnosed with celiac im still trying to figure this stuff out.
I just looked at the label before buying Sugar Free Walmart Lime Gelatin and it listed wheat on the allergen label.
Too much to eat all, Very great information
Hello Gluten-free friends. I have a question for you all. I have been diagnosed with Celiac about a year and a half ago. I do not suffer from any digestive issues but my skin takes a beating. I can only explain it like this. I layed naked in a wet grassy field for a few days and mosquitoes bit me EVERYWHERE! I mean everywhere! Then i itch for a few days to a few months. Yes I said months. It’s called Dermatitis Herpetiformis. Right now I have been itching and have sores/scabs (small) like mosquito size since November and it is now February. I think I am super sensitive because if I eat anything or even take a pill or use a shampoo with Gluten in it. The itch timer starts all over. I wish there was a solution to stop the itch. Nothing works! Please help anyone. I grind my teeth from the itch. Headaches sometimes because of the irritation of the itch. Oh please anyone it’s 2018 can’t there be something to help? #glutenhell
