I saw an ad for Daily Harvest and they say they are gluten free so I put in an order for a box. Tried a smoothie first and no reaction. Then tried the flatbread and had a gluten reaction. Also had a questionable reaction to their scoops. But it was the same day as the flatbread so not sure if it was just a follow up to the flatbread reaction. Two other items hard to tell because I had two at once and same questionable reaction. However there was no question on the flatbread reaction, it was my classic glutened reaction so I'm confident it was cross contaminated.

Since I loved the taste of everything I tried I asked for more details regarding their prep and they said some of their ingredients are processed on lines that process gluten ingredients but the machines were washed between uses. Apparently not washed well enough and they didn't tell me which ingredients or items so I have to consider the whole lot not safe.

Has anyone had luck with a gluten free meal delivery service? I love the concept and all the variety that I don't include on my own so would love to find something that works.

Dear Michelle1234,

My answer is yes, but it's only a "case". Nearby my Italian village there's a pizzeria where they also prepared gluten-free pizzas and they have a delivery service. Other than this place, I never found anything else :( I think the only chance you have is searching for a gluten-free restaurant or something like that and ask if they have a delivery service....Moreover, I never found some sort of app dedicated to gluten-free meals/gluten-free meals delivery service. Hope to help some way

Thanks Neytiri,

You are right, I have to stay local. There are a number of restaurants near me that are safe to eat at.

My system hasn't yet recovered from trying Daily Harvest. I'm really surprised it has lasted this long but it may be due to me eating my own food for 6 months so I have been on a super safe diet.

Dear Michelle1234,

You're welcome ;) It's currently really tough to be on a gluten-free diet, especially when it comes to restaurants :( Hope you're going to recover soon ;)

Try Green Chef! It has gluten-free certification through the Gluten Intolerance Group. We've subscribed for months and had no reaction. The meals are also delicious. If you want to give them a try use my link below and get  $55 off your first box: credit.https://greenchef.com/invite/Azgf_A

Freshly is also certified gluten-free by the GIG but we haven't tried their service yet.

Don't try Hungry Root, my husband had a reaction to their meals!!

From your link, AZCeliacWife, I don't see any mention of their meals being gluten free.

Go to https://greenchef.com/invite/Azgf_A and click 'Claim Discount'/'Get $55' and it will take you to a page where you can choose from 3 meal plans. The KETO + PALEO plan is Gluten Free Certified and you'll see the gluten-free logo next to it.

We actually subscribe to the Plant Powered plan (because I'm a vegetarian) and I just select meals that are gluten-free. The gluten-free meals are all specified and even though it's the Plant Powered plan all gluten-free meals in it are still gluten-free Certified and the recipe cards have the gluten-free logo.

Freshly is very tasty if a bit heavy on sauces (maybe why they’re so tasty!) I really liked it but had to stop because I was trying to lose weight. That was 1+ years ago and I gave that feedback so it’s possible they’ve introduced leaner options since then. 
 

I’ve also used Epicured and liked it, but it was pricey. 
 

Back in the ‘before times’ we got gluten-free meals from green chef and they were very good, but in my mixed household (only I have celiac) we mostly used blue apron and subbed in ingredients where we could - gluten-free soy sauce, etc. There were only a few meals I couldn’t eat with some modifications and their ingredient labeling and call center were very good. 
 

Thats very distressing about daily harvest and shared equipment. I hope you gave them serious feedback and let them know they shouldn’t claim gluten free that way.

      Testing positive for antibodies, are there visible changes to the colon that could be seen without a biopsy?

      By trents · Posted

      Thanks for the additional information. I was thinking of asking you if your daughter was taking methylated vitamins since she has the MTHFR gene but you beat me to it. To answer the question you posed in your original post, as I explained, celiac disease does not damage the colon but the lining of the small bowel. If the damage is pronounced enough and the doc doing it is experienced, yes, the damage done to the lining of the small bowel can be spotted with the naked eye.

      I could not locate the correct Gary Brecka video where he explains the methylation process and specifically states things about how people with the MTRR homozygous gene mutation are known to suffer from heartburn due to a weakened valve/sphincter where the esophagus and the stomach connect.  My brother had the youtube video sent to him from 10x health which is probably why I cannot locate it.     I will have read up on mast cell activation.  I do not know anything about it.  Tums is my preferred gerd treatment.  I always figured a little extra calcium could not hurt me.

      Trents: Due to a genetic mutation, my daughter has inherited from both parents she cannot process the Folic Acid provided in the fortified American grains.   An MD told her to avoid eating fortified grains.   My daughter makes the assumption that unless she makes the food item, that the baker used a fortified grain so she has been limiting her gluten intake since 2020.   Her Psychiatrist was who tested her for MTHFR gene issue because she suffers from depression and severe anxiety. The Psychatrist also instructed my daughter to supplement with a methylated version of folate once she knew my daughter was homozygous, because the methylated version bypasses the mutated gene step so her body can absorb it.  Low folate absorption impacts serotonin and dopamine production.  My husband and I also both have two other homozygous gene mutations that interfere with vitamin absorption: MTRR and VDR taq.  The first interferes with B-12 absorption which requires us to take a methylated B-12 vitamin and the second with Vitamin D absorption so we have to take higher doses to stay within normal levels.   My brother, who has the exact same gene mutations, went through 10x health genetic testing for vitamin supplements (paid by his employer) and received a huge report saying the same things about which types of supplements had to be taken.  Gary Brecka does videos on how these gene mutations impact the vitamin absorption pathways.       If my brother had not gotten his testing through work, he would never would have started his supplement journey.  His testing is what triggered my getting functional health testing that tested similar biomarkers to his.  Again the celiac testing was an add-on test that I did off the cuff.

      Colonoscopy with large are of inflammation

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @growlinhard1! If eliminating gluten from your diet makes significant improvement in your symptoms then there are two possibilities. Either you have celiac disease (aka, gluten intolerance) or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, aka, gluten sensitivity). The difference is that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that creates inflammation and, over time, damages the lining of the small bowel which inhibits nutrient absorption whereas NCGS does not damage the lining of the small bowel. They share many of the same symptoms. At the end of the day, the antidote for both is to abstain from foods that contain wheat, barley or rye, the three gluten-containing grains. Some countries supply stipends and healthcare benefits for those with an official celiac diagnosis. If you live in the USA that does not apply. The main reasons for seeking an official celiac diagnosis are psychological and social. Many people have a hard time not falling off the gluten free bandwagon without an official diagnosis. They find it easy to rationalize it all away as being temporary or due to something else. When you have an official diagnosis, you tend to take gluten-free eating more seriously. Socially, family and friends are more likely to respect and attempt to comply with your need to eat gluten free if you have an official diagnosis of celiac disease. Your physician is more likely to take you seriously as well if you have an official diagnosis because there are typically other health problems that are spinoffs which develop from celiac disease in time. One autoimmune disease invites others. There are no tests for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. We do have specific tests for celiac disease. By the way, some experts believe that NCGS can transition into celiac disease. If your endoscopy/biopsy is only a month away, I would encourage you to stick it out and go back on gluten to get an official diagnosis. You still have time to get a valid test result if you start back on gluten now, 10g of gluten daily which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread.

      dermatitis herpetiformis outbreaks while on strict gluten-free diet

      By BoiseNic · Posted

      I have the same problem. No matter what I eat, I seem to get a break out every 1 to 2 months. I do not do oats, citrus fruits, apples, onions and other foods also, as those cause reactions. The only time I have zero problems is when I fast. The only staple grain I have is quinoa, as that doesn't seem to cause me issues. I have linked mine to a microbiome imbalance. I am currently on month 3 of Skinesa. It's supposed to take 3 months before seeing results. I guess we'll see.
