Ian's Allergen Free Line

Ian's now has tv dinners for kids that are gluten-free and allergen free! The one I saw yesterday was chicken nuggets with corn, mashed potatoes and a piece of gluten-free chocolate cake!!!! My daughter loves their allergen free gluten-free chicken nuggets and fish sticks, so this is a great thing for those nights I am too tired to cook and I still have to feed the kiddo (yep the kiddo still has to eat even if I don't feel like cooking! ;) ) I just have to say that I can't wait to see what other meals they are coming up with !

Wow, that is awesome! I wonder if they make vegetarian ones? (says the 24 year old who is still a kid at heart) :rolleyes:

I'm glad I saw this--Saturday, I saw Ian's chicken nuggets at Acme. They were marked allergen free as well as gluten and wheat free. I didn't buy because I hadn't heard anything about them--and they were over $4 for the small box. If they are good, I want to try them--just don't want to have to end up throwing them out. Anyone who's had them--are they really good?

Yes - the chicken nuggets are really good. Everyone in my house likes them - even those who can eat gluten. We haven't tried the fish sticks. I made my girls the Alphatots last night and they loved those, too.

They now even have gluten-free corn dog bites. They sound good!! I'm excited, but I haven't found them in the stores yet.

I like the fish sticks more than the chicken nuggets. They both seem a little dry to me, but better than nothing on nights when you don't want to cook.

We hate the chicken nuggets and think the fish sticks are just Mrs. Paul's fish sticks.

Thanks! There are so few "quick" things that are gluten-free. I'm going to buy a box the next time I go shopping and make some McCain's fries to go with them! :)

My daughter doesn't like the chicken nuggets, but does like the fish sticks. So, I buy those occasionally.

I found a great recipe for chicken nuggets that I have been making on weekends as I have time and then freezing them in individual sizes for the "fast food nights". I deep fry them in canola oil. I'll share the recipe if anyone is interested. My son even declared them "better" than the evil Mc!

Wellshire Kids makes a gluten free chicken nugget. They're really good! They're expensive, but sometimes convenience is worth the extra money.

Cheri A - I'll take the recipe, if you don't mind. Thanks!

Where do you guys get Ian's?

momandgirls Enthusiast

Whole Foods - in the frozen section. They are in little yellow square boxes. Ian's makes some products without gluten and some with gluten so look carefully at the front of the box (I think, but am not positive, that the gluten free line has a purple banner across the front). They are between the frozen waffles and the ice cream. My daughter really likes them. My local Shaws supermarket carries Ian's but not the gluten free stuff...

i liked the ian's nuggets MUCH better than the wellshire farms nuggets.....the ones shaped like dinosaurs haha...they're spicey :(....and the fish sticks were good. i just had a bit of an incident with them getting dethawed then refreezing them and eating them later

moral of the story. don't do that.

I bought two boxes of Ian's fish a few days ago. I was so happy to try them that night. Gosh, I could barely choke them down. For me it was very fishy, but it's better then what I"ve been eating, so I did eat all four that I made.

I love the Ians chicken nuggets! Actually, they have recently changed the shape and taste of the gluten-free nuggets. The old ones I thought were good but not great. These new ones taste so much better! When I first opened the package of these "new" nuggets I was worried they were the regular (gluten-full) nuggets and were just packaged incorrectly. So I emailed the company and they wrote back that they changed the shape of the gluten-free nuggets (they are now "neater" and shaped more like your traditional chicken nuggets). The email did not mention a changing of the recipe to make them taste better....but I think they taste soooooooooo much better. I can now say I love them rather than like them...

I sprinkle the Kraft mac and cheese topping on them and they taste great...

I like both the chicken nuggets and the fish sticks! I swear I am ready to threaten the local store if they do not get the mini corn dogs in! They are not for my kids, they are for me :)

Yay!! Belle loves the fish sticks! I am guessing the corn dogs are beef? I just eat turkey and chicken!

Actually I believe on the website they say that they are turkey :)

      @Zuma888, The antibodies produced in response to gluten are made in the intestines.  When the body is provoked sufficiently, the antibodies overflow out of the intestines and into the blood stream.  Once in the blood stream, the antibodies can be measured with tTg IgA tests.  Three grams of gluten per day for two weeks minimum is enough gluten to make you feel the symptoms of having been glutened, but the antibodies are not in sufficient quantity to be measured in the blood. Ten grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks is required to get the anti gluten antibodies at a high enough level in the blood stream to be measured by tTg IgA tests. So, no, occasional cross contamination or (heaven forbid) intentional cheat days will not be sufficient for tTg IgA testing.  You will still be making antibodies which will still be causing inflammation and damage to the intestines and body.  Histamine is released as part of the immune response to gluten.  High histamine levels lead to food sensitivities, brain fog, and body aches.   The damage done to the gastrointestinal tract affects the absorption of essential vitamins and minerals.  Malabsorption of fats can cause changes in stools.  Insufficient absorption of vitamins and minerals can cause damage to other organs like the thyroid if it can't get enough Selenium, iodine, iron, zinc, and Thiamine.  Brain fog and fatigue can be caused by low Thiamine and other B Complex vitamins.  Vitamin D is needed to regulate the immune system.  One gene is all that's needed to develop Celiac disease.  I know a Celiac diagnosis is a change that can be difficult to get your head around.  Many people go through the five stages of grief.  One stage is "bargaining".  Sounds like you're stuck there.  Every little cheat counts to your detriment.  But sticking to a gluten free diet, makes every meal a success.   Read the comments below the article... Best wishes!  Keep us posted on your progress!

      No, I would not say this at all. If you were diagnosed with celiac disease and were gluten-free for a while, you could have gone into remission. Everyone's body is different, and some celiacs may be able to get regular contamination and not end up with damaged villi and positive antibody tests, while others who ingest tiny amounts will relapse and have full blown symptoms and flattened villi.  Only a full gluten challenge would reveal where you are at this point. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs.

      Great  post. The skin issue can be intolerable. I have been taking niacinamide for the past month and have improved with respect to the blistering lesions. 
    • knitty kitty
      I've found taking Niacin Vitamin B 3 in the form that causes flushing (nicotinic acid) helps immensely to clear my skin.  The flushing is harmless and goes away the longer Niacin is taken.  The flushing (vasodilation in the skin) helps the body get rid of the tTg 3 IgA antibodies that cause the blisters.  TTg 2 IgA antibodies are found in the blood and are measured in diagnostic testing for Celiac.  People with Dermatitis Herpetiformis make tTg 3 as well as tTg 2 antibodies.  Niacin Vitamin B3 in the non flushing form niacinamide also works without the flushing, but takes a bit longer.   I also avoid foods containing high levels of iodine because iodine activates the tTg 3 IgA antibodies to become more active and make more blisters.  I avoid kelp (nori, seaweed) and crustaceans,  eggs, dairy products, and iodized table salt.   Niacinamide and Nicotinic acid are water soluble and harmless.  I'd much rather take Niacin than Dapsone with scary side effects.
