Salad Dressing

hello,

Made a great grilled chicken salad for dinner and used my favorite dressing (Kraft three cheese ranch) I am pretty sure it is safe. It did say modified food starch , but I was under the impression that with Kraft they would go into more detail if it did include any wheat products, am i right?

What salad dressings does everyone else use?

If it was Kraft, and it didn't say anything about wheat, barley, rye, or oats, you're A-OK!

Personally, I use Chick-Fil-A buttermilk ranch, lol.

Whenever I go there (at least once a week) I get one or two extra packets of ranch, and I don't feel guilty because, being chick-fil-A, they charge for EVERYTHING, including extra dressing!!! :P

Yummy and portable!

I use Annie's. Organicville is pretty good too and makes a great gluten-free Goddess dressing (but the Annie's Goddess dressing has gluten). Both will label gluten-free on the bottle.

I usually get either the grilled chicken garden salad or the grilled chicken sandwich, no bun, with fries, etc. I eat there all the time with no problems! :)

You dairy tolerant people kill me!! :angry::angry::angry::D

What I would give to eat a salad topped with Kraft Buttermilk Ranch dressing. The closest I can come is Hidden valley ranch produces a Kosher ranch dressing powder mix (Check the ethnic aisles at the supermarket), and I mix that with soymilk, and soy sour cream. It's not the best tasting, but it cures the need for ranch!!!!

Anyhow, Newmans Own Balsamic Vinaigrette is my absoloute favorite...aside from ranch..

All the dairy intolerant people who miss ranch should try the ranch dressing made out of cashews. You just put cashews in a blender with a few other ingredients and it is amazing. I put it on everything. I even put it on Tinkyada pasta once :D All of my gluten and dairy-eating friends love it too. I think Tarnalberry posted a recipe for it. It is sooooo good!!!!!!

So Im back to the fry thing, when you get fries there do you tell them you have to be gluten-free or you can just order the fries because it is normal for them to be cooked in seperate fryers? Im getting excited to make a trip to Chick-fil-A!!!!

It's normal for the fries to be in a dedicated fryer. They have a fryer for chicken and one for fries. I only mention gluten-free if I'm getting a bunless sandwich, I don't worry about the fries. Just order the fries normally! :D

Oh, yes! Chick Fil A has been a safe place for me. We don't have one hear, so have only done it 3-4 times, but haven't been glutened.

Just an observation, ChelsE, CFA has a grilled chicken breast/patty as an entree. I've always mention bunless, and they always smile and tell me I don't have to worry that if I order the grilled chicken (whatever) entree, that's what I will get and that the entrees are no where near their sandwiches. Color me happy :)

I always steer away from anything that says "modified food starch" on it, as it's kind of llike playing russian roulette.

My personal favorite is Follow Your Heart Organic Chipotle-Lime Ranch Dressing. It says right on the bottle "gluten-free". I get it at my local co-op. It's yummy (albiet a bit on the spicy side, so if you don't like spicy, don't get it, but I do know that they make other flavors. (It's kept in the refrigerated section).

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies. Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much...

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
