We like the Ian's chicken nuggets. They also make fish sticks, but we haven't tried them. We haven't tried any of Annie's dressings, either - we always use oil and vinegar.

My daughter really likes the chicken nuggets and we both like the fish sticks, also some of my fave salad dressings are Annie's dressings... be careful when you buy though as they do have products that DO contain gluten. Make sure you get the ALLERGEN FREE Ian's nuggets and fish sticks, they now have a few kids meals too that are gluten-free. Also make sure your bottle of Annie's dressing says gluten-free right on the back of the bottle... that way you can be assured you are safe.

I love annie's dressings--my favorite is the Tuscan Italian--yum! The raspberry vinaigrette is good too, and I like the balsamic vinegar.

We do not care for Ians chicken nuggets. They do not have alot of flavor. The fish sticks are very good.

I like Annies rasperry vinegrette.

I just tried the chicken nuggets recently... they're alright, not bad, worth trying.. as nini said, make sure you get the box that's allergen free (only has corn I think) because they have a couple that look similar but have wheat

as for annie's dressings, I've tried a couple of them... only the ones with basic ingredient lists without any allergens at this point... I like the basil one and use it frequently... the green garlic one was awful and the lemon & chive is okay but I don't care for it.. there are a lot i haven't tried though because of casein or other allergens..

Neither my husband or I really liked the nuggets - we prefer Wellshire's. I like Annie's dressings fine for when I use store bought stuff.

I prefer the Welshire chicken nuggets too, but my daughter likes Ians b/c they aren't as "spicy". I think they are a little plain, but you know how kids are. We bought the fish sticks, but haven't tried them yet. The only thing that kills me is the price.....a teeny tiny box for nearly $6. Eeeek! And to think I used to get a ginormous box of dino nuggets from Sams for $7, oh the good ole' days!

The only Annie's dressing we tried was Ranch, and I didn't like it at all. Now we just use Kraft dressings.

I like the Ian's chicken nuggets. Although I have not tried the Welshire since I can not find them. I have liked most of the Annie's dressing with the exception of the Cowgirl Rance, yuck! I do like the buttermilk flavor. I am waiting (not very patiently) for the mini turkey corn dogs from Ian's. They should be out this summer!

I like both the wellshire and the ians, just depends what kind of mood i am in, if i want spicy or not.

But now i can't have corn, so they are out of the picture

The nuggets were "ok", the fish stic were pretty good! (I recommend baking them over "nuking", but isn't that always the case.

As far Annies is concerned, I like the "Green Garlic", the "Basil Garlic", the "Cesar", "tuscan Italian" and "Pepper/Tomato"...

Annie's garlic dressings make great marinades for baked chicken...

I tried the chicken nuggets and fish sticks from Ian's and I wasn't impressed. For paying 6 dollars a box, you would think that there would be some meat in the gluten free breading. I don't know if it were those particular boxes, but it was fish and chicken pieces connected together with breading. Did anyone else have this happen to them? I'm willing to give them a second chance if this is out of the norm.

I found Annies dressings to be quite good.

Ians chicken nuggets made me VERY SICK the time that I ate them. Haven't had them since!

My son much perfers Wellshire Farms chicken nugtes over Ians, and I completely agree with him. Not tried the annie's dressing.

I really like Ian's, but I think I'm a minority here. I tried Wellshire, and the flavor was great, but the chicken was dark and spongy. Grossed me out a bit. I usually add my own spices to Ian's to make them more flavorful. I don't buy them often but every once in a while they make a quick convenient, yummy dinner.

I got really sick after I ate the fish sticks, stomach pain for about 5 days

I am not sure how long ago everyone tried the Ian's gluten-free chicken nuggets, but in the last couple of months I noticed that the nuggets were shaped differently and tasted much better. I emailed Ians and they responded that they changed the shape of the nuggets. They now look more like "regular" nuggets you would get at McDonald's or any other fast food restaurant, not the balls of breading that they resembled before! They did not mention anything about changing the recipe and improving the taste of the nuggets, but I believe they are sooooooo much better tasting!

I really really enjoy them now. Usually I sprinkle the Kraft Mac & Cheese

Cheese Topping on them and they are quite yummy!

So perhaps they would be worth trying again for those of you who did not like them the first time around!

I've had Annie's Italian dressing and have a slight reaction every time I use it. It's quite disappointing.

I finally emailed customer service and asked if they regularly test their products for gluten and if they test below 20 parts per million.

Here's part of their response (emphasis made by me)

i guess im one of the few that really loves the ians chicken nuggets. i actually eat them with ANNIES organic ketchup or with tahini (might sound weird but you should try it, its very tasty).

Slightly off-topic, but Ian's gluten-free, dairy free pizzas are excellent. The best I've found for Gluten-free Casein-free eaters!

As far as chicken nuggets go - I think Bell and Evans are far and away superior to any others i've tried.

I took the risk of buying Annie's Dressing and it was a bust. I had one taste and throw it in the trash. Now I just make my own.

      Gluten exposure when trying to conceive

      By trents · Posted

      My reaction to a gluten bolus exposure is similar to yours, with 2-3 hours of severe abdominal cramps and intractable emesis followed by several hours of diarrhea. I don't necessarily equate that one large exposure to gluten with significant intestinal lining damage, however. I think it's just a violent reaction to a what the body perceives to be a somewhat toxic substance that I am no longer tolerant of because I have quit exposing myself to it regularly. It's just the body purging itself of it rather than an expression of significant damage. Before diagnosis, when I was consuming gluten daily, I had little to no GI distress. I was, for the most part, a "silent celiac". The damage to my small bowel lining didn't happen all at once but was slow and insidious, accumulating over a period of years. The last time I got a big shot of gluten was about three years ago when I got my wife's wheat biscuits mixed up with my gluten-free ones. There was this acute reaction after about two hours of ingestion as I described above. I felt washed out for a few days and fully recovered within a week or so.  Now, I'm a 74-year-old male. So, I'm not worried about being pregnant. And I don't want to contradict your physicians advice. But I just don't think you have done significant damage to your small bowel lining by one episode of significant gluten ingestion. I just don't think it works that way.

      Gluten exposure when trying to conceive

      By Skydawg · Posted

      Wondering about some thoughts on how long to wait to try to get pregnant after a gluten exposure?  I have been diagnosed for 10 years and have followed the diet strictly. I have been cross contaminated before, but have never had a full on gluten exposure. I went to a restaurant recently, and the waiter messed up and gave me regular bread and told me it was gluten free. 2 hours later I was throwing up for the whole evening. I have never had that kind of reaction before as I have never had such a big exposure. My husband and I were planning to start trying to get pregnant this month. My dr did blood work to check for electrolytes and white blood cells, but did not do a full nutritional panel. Most of my GI symptoms have resolved in the past 2 weeks, but I am definitely still dealing with brain fog, fatigue and headaches. My dr has recommended I wait 3 months before I start to try to get pregnant.   I have read else where about how long it can take for the intestine to fully heal, and the impacts gluten exposure can have on pregnancy. I guess I am really wondering if anyone has had a similar experience? How long does it take to heal after 1 exposure like that, after following the diet so well for 10 years? Is 3 months an okay amount of time to wait? Is there anything I can do in the meantime to reduce my symptoms?

      I’ve used tinctures and made my own edibles with gluten-free ingredients to stay safe. Dispensary staff don’t always know about gluten, so I double-check labels or just make my own.

      Damage after 13 years gluten free

      It's great to hear that there are some good doctors out there, and this is an example of why having a formal diagnosis can definitely be helpful.

      Damage after 13 years gluten free

      By RMJ · Posted

      Update: I have a wonderful new gastroenterologist. She wants to be sure there’s nothing more serious, like refractory celiac, going on. She ordered various tests including some micronutrient tests that no one has ever ordered before.  I’m deficient in folate and zinc and starting supplements for both. I’m so glad I decided to go to a new GI!
