Hi There,

I just found out that Ian's Natural Foods have Wheat Free, Gluten Free (WF, gluten-free) chicken nuggets, fish sticks, turkey corn dogs, french fries & sweet pot. fries. Are any of them good? They are pretty pricy so I thought I would ask before I spent the money. Any opinions would be appreciated!

Thanks!!

Kacie

I like the fish sticks quite a lot, but I find the other products are less good. Others seem to like them though.

I eat the chicken nuggets all the time - they're great! The fish sticks are also good, but I wasn't too crazy about the turkey corn dogs.

My 5 year old practically lives on the chicken nuggets. She and my 18 month old just love them!! My little one likes the fish sticks too, however... neither of his sibs will eat them.

I just purchased the turkey corndogs today and have not yet tried them. (Wellshire Kids makes gluten-free chicken corndogs on a stick that are realllllllllly good!)

I like their fish sticks. I wasn't terribly impressed with the chicken nuggets. I haven't tried the corn dogs (can't find anywhere that carries them around here).

They are good about sending out coupons if you call them. It might be worth it to call and get a coupon and try them at a reduced price :)

I saw the chicken nuggets the other day for the first time, and refused to buy them. $6 for 224g. That's half a pound. SIX DOLLARS! :o Forget it. <_<

I know the chicken nuggets are expensive, but they are so good! I eat them all the time.

I have tried the chicken nuggets and the fish sticks. While the taste was okay I found the coating to be much to crunchy, read like eating a rock. My celiac teeth can't take it and I threw the rest of both boxes away.

how did you prepare them I don't find them too crunchy at all. I usually just toss them in the microwave. I think the chick nuggets are good. Sometimes I cut them up and make a patty with them and eat them like a burger with sauteed onions. I usually get them for like 4-5 $ a box

I bake them. I never use my microwave for anything other than defrosting and boiling water, I have never cared for the change in the texture of food cooked in one. I could see how they would be less crunchy if zapped though.

I thought the chicken nuggets were ok until I found Bell & Evans chicken tenders and nuggets which are wonderful. The Ian's ones remind me of McDonald's nuggets and the Bell & Evan's ones are real white meat and not just a bunch of coating. Sometimes you get a bite that seems like all coating and no chicken.

I would think the Ian's ones are very kid friendly, but that adults may like the Bell & Evan's better.

Bell and Evans look good but they have egg which I cant have thats the problem with most gluten free food is aalot if it has ingredients I cant have the ians for me are one of the only premade foods I can get. Maybe one day I will be able to eat bell and evans though

      What should I do with these test results?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Jack Common, You could do a DNA test to see if you have any of the known genes for Celiac Disease.  If you don't have any genes for celiac disease, look to another source for your health problems.  If you do have celiac disease genes and have improvement on the gluten free diet, you probably have active Celiac.  Further testing would be beneficial. Keep in mind that different gluten containing breads have different amounts of gluten.  Think thick chewy pizza crust and artisan breads, and whole wheat breads for the gluten challenge.  Cookies and pastries do not contain as much gluten.   Since your blood tests were inconclusive, continuing with the gluten challenge may be needed to provoke a stronger autoimmune reaction sufficient for antibodies to get into the blood stream.

      Eye irritation 2.5 months into gluten free diet

      By dirkmatthews · Posted

      I found out I had celiac because of eye problems. I developed an eye irritation that was sensitive to light, pressure, and red. My eye doctor said I had iritis, an inflammation of the iris. The treatment was prednisone drops. This is a common symptom related to ankylosing spondylitis, a form of arthritis that runs in my family. My doctor wanted to start me on immunosuppressants, but I refused due to side effects. I tried a few anti-inflammatory diets and found the specific carb diet helped, which led my doctor to test me for celiac, which was positive. Now I know when I get glutened because I have a flare up of my iritis. I call it my canary in a coal mine. First the eye, then the arthritis flare up begins.

      Importance/Necessity of a gluten-free kitchen??

      Soap, water and scrubbing won’t “kill” gluten, but it will physically remove it if done well if you also add a thorough rinse step.

      Eating out at restaurants is the single most risky environment for cross contamination.  Shared oven racks should be thoroughly cleaned after being used for cooking/baking of gluten containing foods. Better yet, purchase a second set of racks that are used only for one or the other.
