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.

Where do you guys get Ian's?

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...

      Toothpaste question.

      There is no scientific evidence to suggest that hydrated silica or its relative, silicon dioxide, triggers a celiac-specific immune response or causes intestinal damage in individuals with the condition. The concern you likely encountered online is a common misconception. Here’s the key distinction: the protein in gluten (gliadin) is what causes the autoimmune r...

      Probiotics

      There is no single "best" probiotic brand universally recommended for celiac disease. The goal of a probiotic in this context is to help support the gut microbiome, which can be disrupted by the damage caused by gluten exposure. The most important factor is not the brand name, but ensuring the product is certified gluten-free, as some probiotics use wheat...

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      What you are describing, while terrifying and severe, is an experience that others in the celiac community have reported during a powerful reaction. The systemic inflammation triggered by gluten exposure in someone with celiac disease can absolutely extend far beyond the digestive tract, creating a cascade of symptoms that feel like your entire body is in...

      Manitol and mri

      The substance you're likely thinking of is "mannitol," which is a sugar alcohol, and it is indeed used as a sweetener in some "sugar-free" products. However, for an MRI, the drink is almost certainly "Mannite," which is a brand name for a laxative preparation used to cleanse the bowel before the scan. Its primary purpose is not to sweeten but to create a...

      There is no scientific evidence to suggest that hydrated silica or its relative, silicon dioxide, triggers a celiac-specific immune response or causes intestinal damage in individuals with the condition. The concern you likely encountered online is a common misconception. Here’s the key distinction: the protein in gluten (gliadin) is what causes the autoimmune reaction in celiac disease. Hydrated silica and silicon dioxide are minerals, chemically inert compounds of silicon and oxygen, and are completely unrelated to gluten proteins. They are widely used as abrasives in toothpaste and anti-caking agents in food powders because they are stable and non-reactive. While any individual can have a unique sensitivity to any substance, there is no mechanism by which these silica compounds would mimic gluten or exacerbate celiac disease. Your diligence in using a certified gluten-free toothpaste is the correct and most important step, as it eliminates the risk of cross-contamination with wheat-derived ingredients like starch. Based on current scientific understanding, the hydrated silica in your toothpaste is not an issue for your celiac management.

The goal of a probiotic in this context is to help support the gut microbiome, which can be disrupted by the damage caused by gluten exposure. The most important factor is not the brand name, but ensuring the product is certified gluten-free, as some probiotics use wheat-derived starches or are produced in facilities that handle gluten, posing a cross-contamination risk. Furthermore, the specific strains of bacteria can matter; some research suggests strains like Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium may be beneficial, but individual responses vary greatly. Because the supplement industry is not tightly regulated, choosing a reputable brand that undergoes third-party testing for purity and potency is key.

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you are describing, while terrifying and severe, is an experience that others in the celiac community have reported during a powerful reaction. The systemic inflammation triggered by gluten exposure in someone with celiac disease can absolutely extend far beyond the digestive tract, creating a cascade of symptoms that feel like your entire body is in revolt. The severe pain, neuropathy, muscle and jaw tension, and intense anxiety and confusion are all potential manifestations of this body-wide inflammatory and autoimmune response. It's a well-documented phenomenon that a celiac attack can provoke a significant neurological and psychological component, including "brain fog," disorientation, and panic-level anxiety. While your first step should always be to meticulously re-check all foods, medications, and even cross-contamination sources, it's also possible that a previously safe product has changed its formula or that you encountered a hidden source.

      The substance you're likely thinking of is "mannitol," which is a sugar alcohol, and it is indeed used as a sweetener in some "sugar-free" products. However, for an MRI, the drink is almost certainly "Mannite," which is a brand name for a laxative preparation used to cleanse the bowel before the scan. Its primary purpose is not to sweeten but to create a clear image by distending the bowel and stimulating a bowel movement. While the names sound similar, the function and formulation are very different from a small-quantity sweetener. That said, your concern is valid and should be addressed with your healthcare team. The most important step you can take is to call the MRI department or your referring doctor directly. Explain your specific reaction to sweeteners in detail—mentioning the throat and ear sensations is crucial as it could indicate a more significant sensitivity. They can confirm the exact drink they use, check its full ingredient list for you, and determine if an alternative prep is available or if pre-medication is recommended to ensure your safety and comfort during the procedure.
