I am just looking for something to have in case I am having one of my bad days. Does anyone know a brand that carries gluten-free frozen dinners?

There are a couple of gluten free frozen dinners in the health food stores, like Amy's. I think Seeds of Change may have one, and there's a Thai or Indian line that makes one or two as well.

For really easy meals, I like Amy's lentil soup, or the boxed Imagine Soups that are gluten-free.

I like the Amy's dinners. Not all are gluten-free though...you have to look for the ones that say gluten free.

Where do you get the Amy's dinners I never heard of them?

Love Amy's! Was eating them way before I went gluten-free! Whole foods has them, my reg grocery store has them in their natural section and most co-ops have them. Just watch the labels.

I buy Kinnikinick frozen pizza crusts and put my own toppings on them while they are still frozen. I then put them back in the freezer and have frozen dinners for the rest of the week!

I may have to visit my Whole foods again. It is an hour drive but that is the only place that has anything around here.

Amy's--love those too. Look around, in addition to Whole Foods, Wild Oats etc, I have them in several local grocery stores too, Marsh & Kroger. You can also 'request' that a local store carry the products. Go here for more info: Open Original Shared Link

You should be able to get Amy's near you---they are great. Some Krogers carry them and some do not. My current Kroger doesn't but my 'old' one did. Luckily there are two local grocery stores that carry them----I LOVE THEM!

I read the labels. Several of the low calorie meals list no offending ingredients.

My condition is not so severe that minute amounts of cross contamination is a problem. None of them carry a label, "Gluten Free", though you can e-mail the manufacturer to check.

Also, BJ's Wholesale Club carries many Thai and Vietnamese instant meals that are gluten free (rice noodles). They fix quickly. I enjoy them at work and so do a couple of my co-workers. A couple others think they smell bad. If you enjoy them, they are always available. I carry a couple in my car. A cup of boiling water from the diner or deli is all you need for a meal. They are very cheap too--about 70¢ per meal.

I just Googled: "frozen dinners, gluten free"

Not only were there several listings for frozen meals, there were listings for companies that will deliver gluten free meals fresh to your door.

melisadki-

you'll have to scope out amy's. they are all vegetarian, but have things like beans and soy for protein. they usually have a fair amount of carbs...so maybe not the best match for you unfortunately...

I found Marrie Calendar's "Slow Roasted Beef" to be gluten free. Its a typical TV dinner style. With beef, gravy(corn starch), beans, and mashed potatoes.

I was thrilled when I found out there was such thing as a TV dinner I could eat again.

also, if you have a Trader Joe's nearby, many of their frozen meals are gluten-free like the Beef Shepherd's Pie, Chicken Masala and Thai Lemongrass curry. All really good! You can get the complete list on their website:

The FDA has a website and discussions on the topic of labeling for gluten free.

You can find Amy's in just about any supermarket - A&P, Pathmark, Stop & Shop, etc.

I love the bean & cheese enchiladas. Also if you have a Trade Joe's near you I buy the chicken taquitos there which come frozen. Those with some shredded cheese and canned Old El Paso vegetarian refried beans - Yum!

I know there are some other brands of chicken taquitos that are ok (i think it's Delimex) that everyone likes but I was never able to find them. Oh and also El Monterey has ones that are ok.

Tamarind Tree makes awesome indian food (boxed, you just stick the containers in boiling water or in hot water from the microwave). I found this at Publix (as well as Whole Foods/Harry's).

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Try adding some Thiamine Hydrochloride (thiamine HCl) and see if there's any difference. Thiamine HCl uses special thiamine transporters to get inside cells. I take it myself. Tryptophan will help heal the intestines. Tryptophan is that amino acid in turkey that makes you sleepy after Thanksgiving dinner. I take mine with magnesium before bedtime...

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      I am doing a gluten challenge right now and I bought vital wheat gluten so I can know exactly how much gluten I am getting. One tablespoon is 7g so 1½ tablespoons of Vital Wheat Gluten per day will get you to 10g You could add it to bean burgers as a binder or add to hot chocolate or apple sauce and stir.

To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6.

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it.  Gluten is  the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part.  Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate  ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein.   Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat, and bran is the protective covering of the kernel.   Little to no gluten there.   Large amounts of lectins are in wheat germ and can cause digestive upsets, but not enough Gluten to provoke antibody production in the small intestines. Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.
