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.

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).

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-Free.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      @fatjacksonthecat I have been doing some digging about the topic of nicotine and celiac.  I came across many studies that showed that the nicotine patch helped many with long covid and chronic fatigue syndrome.  I have a son who was diagnosed with celiac and his symptoms are severe when he is glutened.  He shows a lot of neurological inflammation and suffered with fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety and insomnia. There have been studies revealing that nicotine smoke actually masking celiac symptoms.  I also read that microdosing with a nictoine patch prevents one from addiction.  We are currently trying this out and so far it has lifted the brain fog and helped with anxiety and mood.  One of the studies I have read showed that it's not so much the dose, but the length of time a person is on the patch that showed improvements.  Many showed significant improvement as early as week 3 and continued through week 12.  We are taking 3 day breaks in between to make sure we don't down regulate the nicotine receptors.   How have things been for you?  Are you still chewing nicotine gum?  Perhaps, try the patch?  And how long did it take to ease up on your symptoms when glutened?

      Hi @KathyR37 and a very warm welcome here.  I am so very sorry that you are going through all of this. I just wanted to check, have you ever been tested for any other gastrointestinal conditions? Cristiana

      @KathyR37, I would suspect that in addition to gluten intolerance, you have other food intolerances/sensitivities. This is very common in the celiac community. The most common offenders are oats, dairy, soy, corn and eggs with dairy and oats being the big two. Have you considered this? Have you tried keeping a food diary to detect patterns?

      thank you for your advice.   I have always taken them and I use Stonehedge because they are in a glass bottle, but don't have to be refrigerated.  I also like they are 3rd party tested and state gluten free. But you never know if something better has come alone over the years.
