Has Anyone Ever Tried Dietary Specialties Products?

Recommended Posts

I just came across this webiste today when I googled gluten free ravioli (having a major craving attack).

Open Original Shared Link

They have a bunch of things I would love to try like filled pasta shells, spinach ravioli, and fish sticks! But the minimum order is $75 and I am super hesitant to spend that in case it is terrible, like most of the other mail order gluten free food I have tried. But for ravioli?? I am thinking about it...

Can anyone vouch for these products??

for the first few months i was gluten-free i put up with there products. i could not find anyone else making gluten-free stuffed shells or ravioli. then i found safe harbor foods and have never turned back. if i absoultly had to have ravioli and couldn't find anyone else i guess i would buy dietary specialties again.

I saw this site and have not tried it, the price was what has me still debating, seems like so much and if it is not good you are out almost a $100 buck, and that is hard for me to lose. Hope we do hear back.

I have made my own stuffed shells and they were great. If you want I can dig up the recipe.

They are not particualrly good....

They also in Europe use CODEX gluten-free.... I can eat limited amounts of this and get sick...

If the products were really good I might think it was worthwhile taking a risk and eating just a little but they are nothing special.

I wouldn't lay out $75 to find out!

This is good to know, sounds like it really isn't worth the money. I was thinking if they were really good, I would have heard of them by now.

I did find that Gluten Free Girl had a recipe for homemade gluten-free ravioli so I am going to have to give that a try this weekend. Thanks everyone!

We have tried several of dietary specialties products including the ravioli which is great by the way

I will give you a run down on what we have tried and what we thought of them

chicken nuggets are like really good my kids love them and you get a large bag of them

fish sticks - are ok my kids do eat them but they are very small and crunchy (more breading than meat) and you dont get that many in a box for the price...so we stick with ians brand

Pizzas-YUCK!! small and hard once they are cooked ( you can bang them on the table one they are cooked and they wont break)...We make our own

Cheese Cake -YUMMY...but very small

Lasagna with meat sauce GREAT!! but small for the price

Mac and Cheese my kids love it...

Blueberry Muffin mix - I like it and one kid likes it but one thinks that they are bland

Cornbread mix--WE thought it was Nasty

Pancakes are great

And the brownies......YUMMY!!..we love them ..but we also but Gluten free Panrty brownie Mix...which are just as good for the price

Oh and the stuffed pasta shells.....they are ok I guess I liked them but the kids did not

I hope this helped

Is this another brand of gluten-free ravioli? Where can you buy them?

      There are some causes besides celiac disease for elevated tTG-IGA, such as cow's milk protein, some other bowel diseases, NSAIDs, a certain blood pressure med and parasitic infections but the chances of that being true are not very high compared to the cause being celiac disease. And even with CMP (Cow's Milk Protein) most of those cases involve people who already have celiac disease.

      Did you purchase it thinking it was gluten free? The company doesn't advertise it as such do they? Barley is not one of the eight main allergens that the FDA requires to be posted in the allergen info. Wheat is but not barley. But good catch. We don't see many products with barley and rye as ingredients and it is easy to get lazy, not really read the detailed ingredient list and to just go straight for the allergen list.

      @Wheatwacked thank you for checking in about choline. I do meet me recommended amount on a plant-based diet already, per my nutritionist. Thankfully, I am not intolerant to soy and the cruciferous veggies I enjoy!

      @Wheatwacked thanks for your input. I am fully committed to being gluten-free if I truly have celiac disease.  I suppose my question is more so wondering if that blood test means I definitely have celiac disease. I had one doc look at the results and tell me to ignore them if I don’t have the classic celiac symptoms. The next doc (a few months later, when viewing the same results) said the results were suspicious and might mean gluten sensitivity, but then had her nurse call me later the same day to say I actually have celiac disease based on the results. So my care team seemed a little unsure. It sounds like, from this forum, that the general consensus is any abnormal blood results indicate celiac.
