Purfoods Meals?

At the beginning of the school year, I am usually swamped with work. This year, I am finishing up a graduate course and planning a wedding at the same time! I was thinking about ordering some gluten-free meals that would require little of my time.

I came across Purfoods through a google search. Has anyone used them? Is it worth the money? (if you don't mind spending money on prepared foods?)

Is there another company that offers the same thing?

Any input?! I'd really appreciate it!

Thanks.

I recently ordered from them and was expecting (as advertised) that the meals would not contain preservatives; however, they do - and lots of them! When I called the company, they put me through to a supervisor who informed me that THEY do not add the preservatives, the suppliers do. Therefore, they do not falsely advertise. When I asked for a refund, they would only credit me for the food scheduled to ship for 10 days or more from the time of my call - per their refund policy. Arthur also stated that he felt I was just trying to get out of the meal plan. I am quite disappointed by their lack of customer service and the attitude with which I was addressed.

I have found frozen meals by Comfy Cuisine which do use healthy - much more natural ingredients and I got them from Gluten Free Mall.

Hope this helps.

I'm sorry that I don't have much to share, besides that I once looked at PurFoods and Grandma Ferndons when I was quite sick for the convenience factor (had no energy to cook, plus I didn't really know HOW to cook!) Unfortunately, PurFoods just proved to be too expensive for this poor grad student. A wonderful concept, though, and their meals sound delicious.

mamaw - I've only tried the eggplant parm. by Comfy Cuisine, but I thought it was very good. I thought you and I had the same taste in foods ;) What did you try by them?

- Lauren (bumping this up for amybeth, but I'm also curious if anyone's tried Purfoods!)

I tried the Comfy Cuisine ravioli and thought it was really good.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
