Cheap Option For gluten-free Battered Meats.

I've been lurking around these message boards using them to help find safe options for eating and I decided to share a gem that I just discovered!

So my grandmother told me about this thing that a lot of churches participate in that allows anyone that wants to get cheap good food to order it in. I ordered about a week ago a 5 pound box of mixed battered meats sold as allergy free (including gluten and many things that people seem to also be allergic to) for 25 bucks. I picked it up today, everything came as promised and I fried up some chicken nuggets, first time I've had a breaded meat since I started this diet. They were tasty.

The program that you can order this (and other things like fresh fruits and veggies and other meats) is:

They deliver the food once a month to local churches, I searched and found I had two in my city participating. No you don't have to be in a financial crunch to use it, and no you don't have to be a member of the church.

The company that's providing this particular food item incase you want to verify that it's allergy safe (I didn't find out till I got my box) is:

Open Original Shared Link

I checked out of curiosity on the prices on that site and they charge 40 bucks for a 4 pound box plus shipping! I normally stick to regular food since trying to find gluten-free alternatives usually ends up being way to pricey, and I'm too lazy to try and make a batter myself (im a busy 22 year old, who used to microwave everything, I think I've made progress upgrading to the stove :P.)

I'm hoping that other people can benefit from this price and encourage them to continue offering an allergy free deal from the demand (they just added the allergy free option).

I'll be around and try to answer any questions about my experiences with the program or product. I plan on ordering 2 boxes next time and maybe from fruits and veggies since they looked just as good if not better then the stuff at my local grocery.

Thanks so much for posting this. I checked the link and there is an Angel Food Ministry in my town. I am going to stop on my lunch hour Wednesday to place an order. The gluten free breaded chicken I occasionally buy in the store is so expensive. I can't wait for my daughter to try this. Thanks!!!!!

Even though my favorites are still the Bell & Evans I used to buy there chicken nuggets at Stop & Shop but i no longer am finding them there? I just wrote the company to see where i can purcase them in person cause the food was tasty and more affordable.

I've been debating on trying their other meats... I doubt it's as cheap as me looking for marked down meat at the supermarket.

I have been ordering from them for two months. I get the allergy box and my roommate gets the regular order and the extra meat box. We are both delighted with what we received. I have to watch how much rice I eat and the batter is rice based but even with eating the allergy free meats about 4 times a week I had almost a months worth of meat for one.

The other meats come frozen individually sealed in air tight plastic wrap. So freezer burn is not a problem. The Steaks were really good.

Either way it is a good deal and a great way to stretch the food dollar. Their motto is that if you eat you qualify.

It may not be, especially if there is no one in your household to take advantage of the glutenous food that comes with the other packages. I'm ok with there being gluten-laden food in the house as long as I don't eat it, so my family takes advantage of the cookies, processed meats, etc. that are usually included in the packages.

      My bone structure is disintegrating and I’m having to have my teeth removed

      There’s a Cosco in Auckland in New Zealand. It’s a bit away from where I live but it’s worth the travel for me. Very appreciative of your advice.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      It seems you have proven that you cannot eat gluten.  You've done what your doctors have not been able to do in 40 years. That's your low vitamin D, a common symptom with Celiac Disease.  Zinc is also a common defiency.  Its an antiviral.  that's why zinc gluconate lozenges work against airborne viruses.  Vitamin D and the Immune System+ Toe cramps, I find 250 mg of Thiamine helps.   When I started GFD I counted 19 symptoms going back to childhood that improved with Gluten Free Diet and vitamin D. I still take 10,000 IU a day to maintain 80 ng/ml and get it tested 4 times a year. Highest was 93 ng/ml and that was at end of summer.  Any excess is stored in fat or excreted through bile.   The western diet is deficient in many nutrients including choline and iodine.  Thats why processed foods are fortified.  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of vitamins and minerals from the small intestine damage.  GFD stops the damage, but you will still have symptoms of deficiency until you get your vitamins repleted to normal.  Try to reduce your omega 6:3 ratio.  The Standard American Diet is 14:1 or greater.  Healthy is 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Potatoes are 3:1 while sweet potatoes are 14:1.  So those sweet potatos that everyone says is better than Russet: they are increasing your inflammation levels.

      Weird Symptoms

      My mother also has celiac disease, and one of her symptoms for many years before her diagnosis was TMJ. I believe it took her many years on a gluten-free diet before this issue went away.

      Weird Symptoms

      By Jeff Platt · Posted

      Ear pain and ringing your entire life may or may not be TMJ related but could be something else. A good TMJ exam would be helpful to rule that out as a potential cause from a dentist who treats that. I have teens as well as adults of all ages who suffer from TMJ issues so it’s not a certain age when it shows up.

      Weird Symptoms

      By cristiana · Posted

      Not sure if related to coeliac disease but my ear ringing  has stepped up a notch since diagnosis.  Even since a child silence really hurts my ears - there is always a really loud noise if there is no other noise in a quiet room - but my brain has learned to filter it out.  Since diagnosis in my forties I also get a metallic ringing in my ears, sometimes just one, sometimes both.  But it comes and goes.   My sister also suffers now, we are both in our fifties, but she is not a coeliac, so for all I know it could just be an age thing.  I do get occasional stabbing pain in my ears but that has been all my life, and I do appear to be vulnerable to outer ear infections too.  So not a particularly helpful reply here, but I suppose what I am trying to say is it might be related but then again it could just be one of those things.   I think in the UK where I live doctors like you to report if you get tinnitus in just the one ear.  I reported mine but no cause was found.  Most of the time it is nothing but sometimes it can have a cause that can be treated, so perhaps worth reporting to your GP.
