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).

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
