Lean Cuisine, Very Important

I went to the store thinking there were some Lean Cuisines I could have, after the letter that was posted. Well I bought Honey mustard chicken, chicken a' la orange, and glazed chicken. Before I cooked any of them I called Stouffers at 1-800-387-4636, they informed me that the Glazed Chicken is the only one that is gluten-free and they do not have a gluten-free list because it would become out of date too quickly. They do not have the Portabello Chicken in Canada. They have many varieties of Haagen Das ice cream that are gluten-free. I suggest calling them before you buy anything.

No Problem, as they say in Jamaica. I took it back to Safeway and the let me exchange it for Glazed Chicken.

The best part is I never ate one of the ones with gluten in it.

Good show! I am so happy to finally have at least one to eat. They are great for me to take to work also or when I have a class and don't have time to cook.

The glazed chicken is my favorite anyway, before I went gluten-free.

Rusla, I am so sorry. I was the one that posted the letter. Is the phone number the same for US and Canada? Do they produce the same products in US and Canada? Were any of the ingredients suspect or was the gluten hidden?

Not your fault. The number for Canada and the US is different and they do not always carry the same things or made the same way, she told me. The gluten was definitely hidden in those because, I did compare the honey mustard chicken and the chicken a' la orange with my Celiac dictionary. I was very very careful. But she said the gluten was hidden. It makes it very difficult. I wish they would do everything the same no matter if it is here or in the US and I wish they would list everything.

The glazed chicken was yummy! All of the other ones said wheat on the label.

I've noticed almost all of the Lean Cuisines here have the allergens listed, making it really easy to find hidden gluten (maybe they don't do that in Canada because they don't have the new labeling laws?). I called once before the new law and they told me that they will always disclose hidden gluten.

Funny Rusula, After I read the same post, I went out and looked at the Lean Cuisean meals too. But the ones I found weren't ones I could eat that I thought I would like.

      Thank you all for sharing your experiences! And I am very thankful for that Thanksgiving article, Scott!

      @Mari, did you read that second article that Scott linked? It is the most recently date one.

      As far as I know and I have made severalonline searches, celiac disease disease has not been recognized as a cause of migraines or any eye problems. What I wrote must have been confusing.

      There is much helpful 'truth' posted on this forum. Truths about Celiac Disease are based on scientific research and people's experience. Celiac disease is inherited. There are 2 main Celiac 'genes' but they are variations of one gene called HLa - DQ What is inherited when a person inherits one or both of the DQ2 or the DQ8 is a predisposition to develop celiac disease after exposure to a environmental trigger. These 2 versions of the DQ gene are useful in diagnosing  celiac disease but there are about 25 other genes that are known to influence celiac disease so this food intolerance is a multigenic autoimmune disease. So with so many genes involved and each person inheriting a different array of these other genes one person's symptoms may be different than another's symptoms.  so many of these other genes.  I don't think that much research on these other genes as yet. So first I wrote something that seem to tie together celiac disease and migraines.  Then you posted that you had migraines and since you went gluten free they only come back when you are glutened. Then Scott showed an article that reported no connection between migraines and celiac disease, Then Trents wrote that it was possible that celiacs had more migraines  and some believed there was a causal effect. You are each telling the truth as you know it or experienced it.

      Aldi Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas

      By tiffanygosci · Posted

      Another annoying thing about trying to figure this Celiac life out is reading all of the labels and considering every choice. I shop at Aldi every week and have been for years. I was just officially diagnosed Celiac a couple weeks ago this October after my endoscopy. I've been encouraged by my local Aldi in that they have a lot of gluten free products and clearly labeled foods. I usually buy Milagro corn tortillas because they are cheap and are certified. However, I bought a package of Aldi's Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas without looking too closely (I was assuming they were fine... assuming never gets us anywhere good lol) it doesn't list any wheat products and doesn't say it was processed in a facility with wheat. It has a label that it's lactose free (hello, what?? When has dairy ever been in a tortilla?) Just, ugh. If they can add that label then why can't they just say something is gluten free or not? I did eat some of the tortillas and didn't notice any symptoms but I'm just not sure if it's safe. So I'll probably have to let my family eat them and stick with Milagro. There is way too much uncertainty with this but I guess you just have to stick with the clearly labeled products? I am still learning!

      Thank you all for sharing your experiences! And I am very thankful for that Thanksgiving article, Scott! I will look into it more as I plan my little dinner to bring with on the Holiday I'm also glad a lot of research has been done for Celiac. There's still a lot to learn and discover. And everyone has different symptoms. For me, I get a bad headache right away after eating gluten. Reoccurring migraines and visual disturbances were actually what got my PCP to order a Celiac Panel. I'm glad he did! I feel like when the inflammation hits my body it targets my head, gut, and lower back. I'm still figuring things out but that's what I've noticed after eating gluten! I have been eating gluten-free for almost two months now and haven't had such severe symptoms. I ate a couple accidents along the way but I'm doing a lot better

"Researchers comparing rates of headaches, including migraines, among celiac patients and a healthy control group showed that celiac subjects experienced higher rates of headaches than control subjects, with the greatest rates of migraines found in celiac women.  Additionally, celiacs had higher rates of migraine than control subjects, especially in women. In fact, four out of five women with celiac disease suffered from migraines, and without aura nearly three-quarters of the time."
