Make And Take Meals-sociale And Let's Dish-have gluten-free Options!

Ok, I was shocked to see on our local news that of the "Make and Take" meal places sprouting up, TWO have gluten free dishes available as options. These are the places you go in and they have all the products there for you and you assemble them and can take them home and freeze them for easy meals. Now, I've never done this because I've always frozen my own meals for a month, but hey-someone here might want to know.

The two are "Let's Dish" which is a chain and you can see which states they are in and will soon be coming to here: Open Original Shared Link (they average $2.80/serving) and Sociale, which has gourmet chefs available and is higher priced, and the news rated them at the best at tailor made meals, especially for special diets (they average $3.20/serving). Sociale is at about five MN Twin Cities locations, so it isn't nationwide. Here is the news comparison of the chains like this they researched Open Original Shared Link . I've never been in these places so I'm not sure how I'd feel doing gluten-free meals there, though I've heard you can take in your own utensils and stuff if you prefer, but I'm was just suprised it was even an option.

The one I go to is dinner done. www.dinnerdone.com. They have location in FL and VA. I love this. They have a dietician that goes over all the ingredients. I have been doing this since I went gluten-free and I have never had a problem. It is great to just be able to pop something in the oven and have a meal an hour later.

I highly recommend these services. They also teach you how to cook. I have been much more creative in the kitchen since I started going there. I get so much food that I know I couldn't cook everything for less myself.

Wow these places sound great. Wish we had one up here. Sounds good to not have to cook one night and still have a dinner! lucky you!

Well, maybe I'll have to check them out now, as I've never used them before! I'm going to contact them I think and find out just what their gluten-free options are...I can always use help learning how to cook:)

Just an update, in case anyone wants to know: Let's Dish never got back to me, but Sociale did. The first letter from the owner said she thought the idea of marking which dishes are/could be made gluten free on their actual website was a good one and they are going to work on that (they had the peanut allergy marked on some dishes, and which are/could be vegetarian marked on others). The offerings changed month by month. Here is the letter from the chef:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I just received your letter and would first like to start by saying how happy I am that you are interested in Sociale Gourmet! Here are some options for you and your family in the month of July. Some of the entrees can be modified to fit your request with just some minor changes.

A great day to you and yours!

This is so interesting b/c I've been looking at some OAMC sites. When I get back from vacation, I'm going to attempt this myself. I don't think that they could ever accomodate me because of the multiple FAs, but I will email them, too, and be interested in the gluten-free cooking so that others could have this option :D

      @DebJ14, You said "husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation. He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation." I don't think black seed oil is...

      Healthy Omega Three fats. Olive oil or flaxseed oil, oily fish, fatty cuts of meat. Our bodies run much better on burning fats as fuel. Diets based on carbohydrates require an increased amount of thiamine to process the carbs into fuel for the body. Unfortunately, thiamine mononitrate is used to enrich rice. Thiamine mononitrate is relatively unusable...

      Is this celiac?

      The reaction one gets when they get glutened varies a lot from person to person. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      A gluten ingestion can last for many months. Many years ago there was a celiac conference in Fl. Everyone there got contaminated with some having difficulty 6 months to recover. It will hit your Lympatic system and spread through the body and effect your nevous system as well. Most times when I get glutened it is from a prescription med that wasn...

      Is this celiac?

      Thank you so much for the responses. Every piece of information helps. I only knowingly ate gluten once, that was four days ago. I had the reaction about 3-4 hours after consuming it. I’m concerned that after 4 days the symptoms aren’t abating and almost seem worse today than yesterday. I haven’t had either breath test. I did ask about additional testi...

      @DebJ14, You said "husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation."   I don't think black seed oil is lowering inflammation.  It's lowering blood glucose levels. Black cumin seed lowers blood glucose levels.  There's a connection between high blood glucose levels and Afib.    Has your husband been checked for diabetes?   Must Read: Associations of high-normal blood pressure and impaired fasting glucose with atrial fibrillation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36750354/

      Healthy Omega Three fats.  Olive oil or flaxseed oil, oily fish, fatty cuts of meat.   Our bodies run much better on burning fats as fuel.  Diets based on carbohydrates require an increased amount of thiamine to process the carbs into fuel for the body.  Unfortunately, thiamine mononitrate is used to enrich rice.  Thiamine mononitrate is relatively unusable in the body.  So a high carb diet can further decrease thiamine stores in the body.  Insufficient thiamine in the body causes the body to burn body fat and muscle for fuel, so weight loss and muscle wasting occurs.  Those extra carbohydrates can lead to Candida (often confused with mold toxicity) and SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth).   Losing weight quickly is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  Muscle wasting is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  I lost sixty pounds in a month.   Having difficulty putting weight on and keeping it on is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.   The AIP diet works because it eliminates all grains and grasses, rice, quinoa, all the carbs.  Without the carbs, the Candida and SIBO get starved and die off.  Easy way to change your microbiome is to change what you feed it.  With the rowdy neighbors gone, the intestine can heal and absorb more nutrients.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals is beneficial.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing.  The eight B vitamins are water soluble, so if you don't need them, they can be gotten rid of easily.   Night shades are excluded on the AIP diet.  Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant are not allowed on the AIP diet.  They contain alkaloids that promote "a leaky gut".  Benfotiamine can help here. Sweet potatoes are avoided because they contain thiaminases, chemicals that break thiamine so that the body cannot use it.   The AIP diet has helped me.

      Thank you so much for the responses. Every piece of information helps.  I only knowingly ate gluten once, that was four days ago. I had the reaction about 3-4 hours after consuming it. I’m concerned that after 4 days the symptoms aren’t abating and almost seem worse today than yesterday.  I haven’t had either breath test. I did ask about additional testing but the PA recommended me to a celiac specialist. Unfortunately the first available is mid-December.  As far as diet, I am a pescatarian (have been for 25+ years) and I stopped eating dairy mid-last week as my stomach discomfort continued. Right now, I’m having trouble eating anything. Have mostly been focused on bananas, grapes, nut butters, DF yogurt, eggs, veggie broth.   I ordered some gluten-free meal replacements to help.  But I’ll get all the items (thank goodness for Instacart) and try the diet you recommended to get me past this period of feeling completely awful.  Yes, my doctor diagnosed celiac. I was concerned it wasn’t right based on the negative blood test and my continued symptoms.  Even if you are ‘glutened’ it shouldn’t last forever, right? Is four days too long?
