Has Anyone Ever Tried Dietary Specialties Products?

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?

      Anyone try this? No matter what the brand, probiotics have ALWAYS made me break out bad. I am hesitant to try this simply for that fact, but I ordered a 3 month supply. Any input would be appreciated. Wish me luck.

      @llisa, I am curious to know how much vitamin D you are taking and what is your plasma level in nmol/L or ng/ml what the doctor's target 25(OH)D is. Hopefully with the gluten free diet you'll be able to feel better.
    • trents
      Yes, but if you had been avoiding bread because of the stricture, that might explain the negative result of the previous celiac antibody test.

      Hashimoto diagnosed over 20 years ago after my daughter was diagnosed and told me to get checked due to similar symptoms. Diabetes diagnosed same time. Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency this past summer. Celiac last Wednesday. Have been having the digestive issues for a couple of years, several doctors--thought we had it solved with the Creon. Then symptoms got worse. I have a theory about that. I have a stricture in my esophagus that has to be dilated every 6-8 months. When it is tight, I have trouble swallowing. Bread is one of the harder things to swallow, so I avoid it. Had the stricture stretched end of October and started eating bread again. That's about when the diarrhea, bloating, gas, and pain started getting worse. Went in for another upper endoscopy and dilation of stricture last week. (It had been so tight this time, he scheduled a second dilation one month after the first.)  I told him how miserable I'd been, and he did the small intestine biopsy. I know they did the blood test for celiac about a year or more ago trying to find source of my problems,  and it was negative.

      Diabetes and Hashimoto's as well, huh? You are the epitome of the autoimmune cascade effect. That is, once you get one autoimmune condition you tend to develop others. But I am curious. In the sequence of these several autoimmune diagnoses, where did the celiac diagnosis come? You certainly have a lot of health issues to juggle.
