are pre-made frozen vegis safe? like a bag of mixed vegis.

also if something says gluten free it meens its wheat free right? i got misson salsa roja chips because they say gluten free and they claim that they have dedicated lines for there gluten free foods and i wanted some chips that would last me a while instead of rice chips that last me a day

I haven't run across a frozen veggie that is NOT gluten-free... I would avoid any pre seasoned ones until you can verify with the company that they are safe though.

Also, Mission is a great company, they clearly label that which is gluten-free, so if you found something that says gluten-free on it from Mission, you can trust it.

Just tell yourself this, if they're unseasoned, they're just vegetables, and you've had vegetables, so they're nothing new!! I eat frozen veggies all the time.

It might help you to realize that there ARE things we can eat that won't make us sick. It's good to be careful, but you don't need to give yourself anxiety attacks every time you eat something!

Plain frozen veggies with nothing added except maybe salt shouldn't be a problem.

I've never had a problem with plain frozen veggies--even store brands.

Hmm we have quite a few over on this side of the pond that are not, both from testing on me, testing with the tepnel kits and even would you beleive labelling...its the same with frozen fries... my local frozen goods store has about 10 minds and only 1 is gluten-free!

Also, Mission is a great company, they clearly label that which is gluten-free, so if you found something that says gluten-free on it from Mission, you can trust it.

Yes, we don't have Mission here but I can clearly mark off companies that do and don't and then the others which I have 100% confidence in (well nearly) and i think this is probably the most useful thing for noobies.

Equally, there are also brands I don't trust AT ALL .... you basically can't trust any of their labelling.

Once you have some reliable brands it makes it far easier ... another trick I recently started is looking for brands that show allergens, I feel safer when something says "contains celery" than if it doesn't list anything because then you klnow they have actually considered allergens.

I don't know why celery .. well I think its easy to label contains milk or contains nuts or the ubitiquous "may contain nuts" wheras Celery seems to be something they actually have thought about and is often used as a natural replacement for MSG so it gets double points.
