Marie Callender's Frozen Dinners

I was at the grocery store last night picking up some ice cream and for kicks read some labels on Marie Callendar's frozen dinners.

There were a few with gluten-free ingredients (and I can't remember the life of me which ones, I'm thinking sliced beef pot roast, potatoes and broccoli, stuff like that).

Has anyone tried these before? They are made by ConAgra so I trust the ingredients, just wondering about the x-contamination factor since so many of the Marie Callender's meals DO have gluten.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

These would be a great add to have around for quick meals.

The only one that I know of is the Chicken, cheese, broccoli, wild rice dinner. I have been eating it with no problem. It would be nice if there were others. Sometimes I have no leftovers for my lunch.

Seriously, this is gluten-free? Pre-gluten-free days, whenever I felt lousy and my tummy felt gross, this meal was always my standby that I'd get at the store. Heat it up, tons of salt and for some reason, my stomach felt better then. Hmm, it all makes sense now.

Wow, that sounds good. I miss that Uncle Ben's rice bowl they used to make with cheese and rice. Come to think of it, I don't think they make rice bowls anymore period.

thanks for the responses. i am going to pay much better attention at the store this weekend and report back with the ones i think have gluten-free ingredients. i think it is con-agra so it should be safe, but i'll probably call directly just to make sure.

there were seriously 2-3 meals with meat and potatoes and maybe a rice/chicken one and stuff! i was seriously excited because quick meals are a thing of the past at our house and that would buy us just a little bit of freedom. it's not necessarily super healthy, but nice to have around in a pinch.

i looked for the uncle ben's rice bowls and didn't see them either. i LOVED those!

I know on the Chicken, Wild rice, broccoli, cheese dinner I saw it posted on some celiac site. I have no idea which one now. I try to take leftovers for my lunch, but try to keep them on hand when I don't have any. It would be great to know it they have other ones too. Wendy

I looked today and the chicken, cheese and rice was the only one that didn't list wheat in the ingredients. Sorry.

best regards, lm

      Daughter's high test results.

      By bpritch27 · Posted

      Thanks @trents! Seems like I'm a year late to the party given the timing of the diagnosis, but better late than never.  She does still consume dairy and some oats. The oats are certified beyond celiac gluten free.

      Welcome to the forum, @bpritch27! Is your daughter still consuming oats (even "gluten free" oats) and dairy?

      Daughter's high test results.

      By bpritch27 · Posted

      Hello, I'm looking for some help/input on my daughter. She turned 3 in November and was diagnosed with Celiac Disease one year ago, just following her 24 month checkup. Last week she went in for her one year follow-up lab test and we were completely shocked when her Gliadin (Deamidated) AB (IgA) level came back at 148.3 U/mL. For reference, her initial lab was at 46, and her 3 months off gluten level was 25.3.  She has been 100% gluten free since 12/26/23, and her first lab test was showing improvement. We have hardly altered her diet in the last year, and everything she ingests is labelled gluten free. After the most recent lab test, we checked her body wash and found that it may contain gluten, but it was the same body wash she used a year ago as well when she was improving. Her medicine is gluten-free, her toothpaste is gluten-free.  My wife and I have been so careful to keep her away from gluten, and yet here we are at a complete loss as to how she has continued to be exposed. Any help or advice would be extremely appreciated!

      Anyone gone through public school gluten free?

      By trents · Posted

      @Bernade, you might find this helpful. Ultimately, it would be up to the parents of the students in question to begin dialog with school officials and get the ball rolling. But perhaps you could could pass this information onto the parents somehow:
