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the Glazed Chicken is the only one that is gluten-free and they do not have a gluten-free list because it would become out of date too quickly.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.

      Outgrow celiac?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well as between migraine without aura and ulcerative colitis...this study did not find evidence of a shared genetic basis..." Anyway, there is definitely a connection, and you can go through more of the articles here if you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By SusanJ · Posted

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.

      @tiffanygosci, Thiamine deficiency is a thing in pregnancy for "normal" people, so it's exponentially more important for those with celiac disease and malabsorption issues. I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious what the vitamins were doing inside the body.  See my blog.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll to drop down menu "activities" and select blog.   So glad you're motivated to see the dietician!  We're always happy to help with questions.  Keep us posted on your progress!
