Evol Products

If you haven't tried the Evol product line, I definitely recommend them!  They are frozen products that taste great and are decent for you.  They make burritos, quesadillas, individual meals and their newest addition are skillet meals for two.  Target sells a lot of their products, and I've seen exclusive varieties that are only sold at Whole Foods.  I've had the Chicken Teriyaki, Lemongrass Chicken and Thai Style Chicken Curry.  Before I went dairy free, I had the Fire Grilled Steak, Bean and Cheddar Enchilada Bake and Chicken Enchilada Bake.  Everything I've eaten from them I've enjoyed!  Plus they are super convenient if you are visiting friends and family because you can just put the meals in the microwave and you're good to go  :)

 

Here is a list of their gluten free products:

These were a lifesaver when I was on vacation.  The place, with a full kitchen, we were supposed to stay at got sold and closed.  We got a place with a microwave and fridge only.  The rest got pizza and I got one of these enchilada bowls and some chips.  Yummy!

I have never heard of this brand. I'll have to check it out. I have a whole foods and target where I'm at.

I'll have to see if my local Target has them. I've always been paranoid about what if I end up in the hospital. These would be the perfect answer. They could also come in handy on those nights when I get a 10pm text asking me to work the next day. It's fine when I have plans ahead of time to work, but when I don't know I'll be working I don't usually have travelable food ready.

Are these products spicy?  I was tempted to try them but spicy does not agree with me.  It seems many of the gluten-free dinners/frozen products spice them up for taste and I do not like spicy.  I mean hot spicy....not spice spicy.  ;)

The chicken teriyaki is definitely not, and I'm a big fan of that one!  The lemongrass, I don't think so but it's been awhile since I've had that one.  The Thai style chicken curry definitely is.  I wanted to try the Thai one and I checked my local Target three times, but it was never in stock.  I finally found it when I went to visit family this past weekend and was so excited to try it.  It was a bit too spicy for me, so I won't be purchasing it again anytime soon.

      A nutritionist typically focuses on general wellness, lifestyle guidance, and preventative health. A dietician allowed to provide medical nutrition therapy. When i was diagnosed there was zero support and few dieticians and Dr understood celiac disease.  I typically guide a newly diagnosed celiac to a whole food diet to easily transition to the gluten free lifestyle

      Your gluten-free journey sounds like a lot of trial and error—especially working in a deli where gluten exposure is constant! The eye-watering issue could be an airborne gluten sensitivity (like flour dust irritating your eyes) or even a mild wheat allergy, since you’re around it daily. A daily antihistamine (like Claritin or Zyrtec) might help if it’s allergy-related, but avoiding airborne gluten as much as possible (masking, washing hands/face often) is key. It’s great you’re tracking triggers—high-fiber foods and certain gluten-free substitutes (like those tortillas or PB pretzels) can sometimes cause similar symptoms due to additives or digestive adjustments. For travel, pack safe snacks (protein bars, nuts) and research gluten-free translation cards for Aruba. On flights, opt for packaged gluten-free meals or eat beforehand. Many gluten-free foods and baking mixes contain xanthan gum or other gums like guar gum. Although they are both gluten-free, they may cause IBS-type issues in some people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity:   You’re doing all the right prep—trust your research and enjoy your trips!

      It’s scary how hidden gluten can be—even in non-food products like hair care! Your experience is a great reminder that topical products with gluten can cause systemic reactions in some people with celiac disease, especially if they’re accidentally ingested (like when shampoo runs down your face). While not everyone reacts to external exposure, your symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, and GI issues—clearly show your sensitivity. It’s frustrating that companies aren’t required to label “gluten-free” on cosmetics, so ingredient checks are a must. Don’t feel stupid; many of us learn this the hard way! Thanks for sharing your story—it’s a wake-up call for others to scrutinize everything, from lotions to makeup. Hope you’re feeling better now that you’ve ditched the culprit!

      It’s possible—though not extremely common—to develop a wheat allergy in addition to celiac disease. While celiac is an autoimmune reaction to gluten, a wheat allergy is an IgE-mediated response to wheat proteins, which can cause allergic symptoms like hives, swelling, or even anaphylaxis. Your recent anaphylactic reaction strongly suggests a true wheat allergy has developed alongside your celiac disease. Research on this overlap is limited, but some people with celiac do develop other immune-related conditions, including allergies. Repeated gluten exposures may have sensitized your immune system over time, leading to this new allergic response. Since wheat allergy involves different proteins than celiac, you could now be reacting to both. An allergist can confirm this with skin prick or IgE blood tests. Moving forward, you’ll need to avoid all wheat (not just gluten) and keep your Epi-Pen handy. Many in the celiac community report similar experiences, so you’re not alone. Glad you’re okay after that scary reaction—thanks for sharing your story, as it’s an important reminder of how complex these conditions can be.

      Congratulations on the new qualification as a Nutrition Coach. Can you tell me if this is the same qualification as a registered dietitian?
