I haven't found the S'better Farms corndogs near me... yes I looked on the website at where to buy and I would have to drive into "THE CITY" (gawd forbid!!!) LOL! Anyone who knows me knows that I HATE TO DRIVE!!!! Ah, but for good corndogs, I guess I could force myself!

Hey Nisla, I contacted the company a while back. We live in AL, but they said we're in the Atlanta distribution are for Kroger and could get our manager to order them. They were very nice and said I could even call them if I had any trouble. You probably could too since you live so close to Atlanta. I've got the # if you need it. Maybe you won't have to make that drive to the city afterall! :D

How lucky that I found this thread! (I've spent a lot of time at this website but am new to the community forums). The development of gluten-free food products is a dream of our whole family. We are currently in the (early) planning stages of a line of gluten-free frozen convenience foods. We'd like to eventually open a gluten-free restaurant also, but that's WAY in the future! We're planning to start with frozen pizza - 3 varieties, cheese, pepperoni and vegetable, in both family size and individual size. Our next product will be lasagna, then ravioli.

This thread has really been a blessing, but I'd appreciate even more info! I'm fairly new to the celiac world, since I married a man two years ago with a celiac daughter who lives with us part time. After some initial frustrations I've started having fun learning to cook gluten-free. I love to cook anyway...as does my son who is starting cooking school. Since our entire facility will be gluten-free (unlike Amy's, which we love!) there shouldn't be problems with cross contamination. We'll also be avoiding oats since so many celiacs are also sensitive to oat products.

Since each new product will take years of development I'm still open to changing the order in which we introduce foods. Any thoughts on that? Also where do you purchase most of your gluten-free foods? Getting new products into major grocery chains is terribly expensive, so I don't see that happening in the next decade. MAYBE specialty stores like Whole Foods or Trader Joe's, but frankly I don't see any way to market these products at the beginning except for internet gluten-free malls such as the one affiliated with this site, which we love! Any thoughts on that?

Thanks for any and all comments!

I think the order you mentioned - pizza, then lasagna, then ravioli is right on!

Please, please make gluten-free products that are also egg-free. I find very few gluten-free desserts and breads that I can eat - all the good ones have egg in them.

Good luck to you.

Thanks! I'll have to work on the egg-free part...I've never tried cooking egg free! The pizza would be egg-free, but my pasta recipe contains eggs. Is cross-contamination an issue with eggs? I was planning to use the same dough sheeter for both the pizza crust and the pasta.

I would personally like to see 100% gluten free restaurants! I can't eat out anymore because of cross contamination.

I voted for more convenience foods since Amy's is the only one that I can buy here and a lot of people seem to react to their products. I haven't had Amy's in a long time because I don't want to get sick!

Oh my gosh- Yes! A 100% gluten free restaurant that could also accomodate other intolerances and allergies.

Also, I would love something healthy, organic and convenient like Amy's but made in a 100% dedicated facility. I haven't microwaved anything preprepared in months.

Dear Neshy,

I am also a QUT student and doing a project about the gluten free products (about marketing in Brisbane).

nice to meet you here. I would like to know that which subject are you doing for this assignment. And it will be great if we can share some information.

you can send me email at off_kor1@yahoo.com

Hope to hear from you.

thanks

Me too! My local Acme has begun carrying Amy's Rice Bowls (gluten-free). They look so good, but I know that so many of you have had reactions from them. :(

I just thought of a pre-made gluten-free (and hopefully casein free!) dinner:

Chinese!

Just imagine... Sweet and sour chicken balls, egg rolls, chicken fried rice, lemon chicken, vegetable stir fry...

mmmm

I would like all of the appetisers from PF Changs (except letuce wraps as I am sick of eating them). Yum, all of the appetisers gluten-free. I can dream.

By the way I order the combination fried rice (PF Changs) gluten-free and they tell me what meats or seafood they have that can go in it. Some has already been seasoned and that is why they tell me. Usually I end up with chicken and shrimp fried rice. It is so good. And no it is not on their gluten-free menu.

How about something cheesy - like cream cheese, or mozzerella... something gluten-free, casein free, lactose free and soy free?

I would love something like that!! Although I have been able to find gluten free pizza bases, I can't find a gluten free, casein free & soy free cheese anywhere.

I would also love gluten free, casein free & soy free chocolate! :rolleyes:

I would love to see more glutenfree stores, but I wonder if they would econmically viable as more then a 'hole in the wall/hard to find" kind of place as far as local shoppers go. The same goes for restaurants. Yes, I want to see it, but is it economically viable? It would be tragic beyond words for such a place to open, and end up bankrupting the fine people trying to make a go of it.

I'm lucky to live near a well educated health food store with a good selection of gluten free items. (That's Atlantis in Dunwoody Georgia)

Now, I'm about to go out and look at one of those krogers for some corndogs... but before I go, I would like to say that there are two things I would love to see gluten free. One is Krispy Creme glazed donuts. I haven't seen anything like that on the gluten free market. Those New Orleans numbers that are hard to spell but are pronouced "Been-YAaaaaa!" might do as a mix. Anyone have a good recipe for those?

Another product I would like to see is a good HARD fry batter. I have been meaning to experiment in this reguard, but my minor experiments haven't come up with anything decent. Now, a hard fry is not a 'breading.' I'm taking about fish and chips, not zaterans or shake and bake. Catfish rolled in cornmeal is grand, but it's not like english deep fried cod, or that chicken from popeyes. (I love that chicken from popeyes.)

A hard fry batter must come out of the boiling oil as hard crust, it sticks close to the meat rather then falling off, and it is crunchy, not soft. Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd it tastes good.

      @Mynx, how long have you been gluten-free? I ask because many newly diagnosed celiacs react to many things, and often think their reactions are caused by gluten, when in fact, they are really caused by a combination of a sensitive gut due to damage, as well as additional food intolerance/leaky gut issues to other foods which may be temporary until their villi heal.

      Many major brands of distilled vinegar in the USA, including Heinz white vinegar, are typically made from corn. In the United States, corn is a common and cost-effective raw material used in the production of distilled white vinegar. The process involves fermenting the sugars derived from corn into alcohol, which is then further fermented into acetic acid to produce vinegar. Distillation follows, which purifies the liquid and removes impurities, including any residual proteins or allergens. While the source of the vinegar (e.g., corn) is not always explicitly stated on the label, corn-derived vinegar is widely used in the food industry due to its neutral flavor and affordability. For individuals with gluten intolerance or celiac disease, distilled vinegar made from corn is generally considered safe, as the distillation process effectively removes gluten proteins. However, if you have concerns about cross-contamination or specific sensitivities, it’s always a good idea to contact the manufacturer directly to confirm the sourcing and production practices. Heinz, for example, has stated that their distilled white vinegar is gluten-free and safe for those with celiac disease, but verifying this information can provide additional peace of mind. The belief that distilled vinegar is gluten-free is rooted in the scientific understanding that gluten proteins, which are large and complex molecules, are generally too big to pass through the distillation process. Distillation involves heating a liquid to create vapor, which is then condensed back into a liquid form, leaving behind larger molecules like gluten proteins. However, the concern about cross-contamination arises from the possibility that gluten-containing ingredients may have been present in the liquid prior to distillation. While the distillation process itself is highly effective at removing gluten, the equipment used in production could potentially introduce trace amounts of gluten if not thoroughly cleaned between batches. For most individuals with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease, distilled vinegar is considered safe because the gluten content, if any, is typically below the threshold that would trigger a reaction. However, for those with extreme gluten intolerance or celiac disease, even trace amounts can cause adverse effects. This is why some individuals, like yourself, may choose to avoid commercially produced distilled vinegar and opt for alternatives like apple cider vinegar, which can be verified as gluten-free. The meticulous process of researching ingredients and preparing homemade products, such as ketchup, is indeed challenging but crucial for maintaining health and avoiding gluten exposure. It’s important to note that regulatory standards for gluten-free labeling vary by region, and in many places, products labeled "gluten-free" must contain less than 20 parts per million (ppm) of gluten, which is considered safe for the vast majority of people with celiac disease. Nonetheless, individual sensitivity levels can vary, and your approach highlights the importance of personalized dietary management for those with severe gluten intolerance.

      I have been diagnosed with Microscopic Colitis (LC) for quite a few years, so I have been gluten-free and DF.  I would like to get tested for Celiac Disease because of the possibility of cross contamination and colon cancer.  And if you were hospitalized and didn't have a celiac diagnosis you could not get gluten-free food, I don't know if that is true or not.  Also because there is chance of colon cancer so I want to know if I have Celiac Disease and need to be on very restrictive diet.  The only testing I did was a sigmoid scope and Enter Lab but no gene testing.  I know I can go back to eating gluten for a few months, but I would worry you would have to stay home for the few months while getting gluten.  What other options do I have?  Should I do the gene testing?  Maybe through Entero Lab?  Any other tests?  How important is it to have Celiac diagnosed? Thank you! Barb

      Take it easy! I was just prompting you for some clarification.  In the distillation process, the liquid is boiled and the vapor descends up a tube and condenses into another container as it cools. What people are saying is that the gluten molecules are too large and heavy to travel up with the vapor and so get left behind in the original liquid solution. Therefore, the condensate should be free of gluten, no matter if there was gluten in the original solution. The explanation contained in the second sentence I quoted from your post would not seem to square with the physics of the distillation process. Unless, that is, I misunderstood what you were trying to explain.

      No they do not contradict each other. Just like frying oil can be cross contaminated even though the oil doesn't contain the luten protein. The same is the same for a distilled vinegar or spirit which originally came from a gluten source. Just because you don't understand, doesn't mean you can tell me that my sentences contradict each other. Do you have a PhD in biochemistry or friends that do and access to a lab?  If not, saying you don't understand is one thing anything else can be dangerous to others.
