Wellshire Kids Chicken Bites

I was wondering where everyone is finding the Wellshire Kids Chicken Bites. My Whole Foods doesn't carry them for some reason. Other than that we have a couple small health food stores in the area, but they don't have them either.

I just thought I'd check and see if this is something that can be found in a regular grocery store before I start bugging my Whole Foods to carry them.

Thanks!

I've gotten them at Whole Foods (in WA or CA) or Wild Oats (in CA).

I went onto their website www.wellshirefarms.com. You can order 10 bags for $36.00 or 20 bags for about $60.00. It was well worth buying in bulk to avoid having to search around for them.

I've seen them at my Whole Foods but never tried them.

See if your Whole Foods has the Bell & Evans gluten free chicken nuggets or tenders. They are incredible!!!

I got the Wellshire ones at my regular grocery store. They have a rather large gluten free section.

If a local health food store does not have them in stock you can put in an order for them

Thanks guys. At my Whole Foods, they said they only carry the Ians. I did go to the wellshire website, but to ship it frozen to CA, I'd have to go overnight shipping, which is over $60!! Plus, we don't have room in the freezer for 10 pkgs of chicken nuggets at one time. If I knew that my kids liked them, I'd be more likely to consider buying in bulk once we get a new freezer, but we haven't even tried them yet.

I'm going to order from glutenfreemall I think. That way I can try other things too, like the praeger's fish sticks and some of the other brands of chicken nuggets. Looks like $33 for shipping is a pretty good deal. Then depending on what I like, I'll ask my small local health food store to order a couple of things. They're much better about carrying a good variety of gluten-free things, and even carry some Kinnikinnick stuff. I know they wouldn't mind ordering some new things.

I just didn't want to spend all that money on shipping and then find out that everyone was buying them at Albertson's or something. :lol:

Hi

I get ours at whole foods too. But we like the new Bell&Evans ones now . We get those in a regular grocery that sells Bell&Evans products. When I contacted their website they said that all stores that carry their reg. line would also carry the gluten-free nuggets too. So hopefully you have a store that carries the line.

I bought a freezer just for gluten-free stuff.....

Cheri A posted a wonderful recipe to make your own , I don't alway have time to do that so I buy frozen also.

And I agree with you don't buy cases until you know if your family will like them. I now have many things I buy in bulk but we sampled first. This food is just to pricey to waste it and thru trial & error I had some stuff the dog turned his nose up to.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Judy M! Yes, he definitely needs to continue eating gluten until the day of the endoscopy. Not sure why the GI doc advised otherwise but it was a bum steer.  Celiac disease has a genetic component but also an "epigenetic" component. Let me explain. There are two main genes that have been identified as providing the "potential" to develop "active" celiac disease. We know them as HLA-DQ 2.5 (aka, HLA-DQ 2) and HLA-DQ8. Without one or both of these genes it is highly unlikely that a person will develop celiac disease at some point in their life. About 40% of the general population carry one or both of these two genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. Thus, possessing the genetic potential for celiac disease is far less than deterministic. Most who have the potential never develop the disease. In order for the potential to develop celiac disease to turn into active celiac disease, some triggering stress event or events must "turn on" the latent genes. This triggering stress event can be a viral infection, some other medical event, or even prolonged psychological/emotional trauma. This part of the equation is difficult to quantify but this is the epigenetic dimension of the disease. Epigenetics has to do with the influence that environmental factors and things not coded into the DNA itself have to do in "turning on" susceptible genes. And this is why celiac disease can develop at any stage of life. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition (not a food allergy) that causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. The ingestion of gluten causes the body to attack the cells of this lining which, over time, damages and destroys them, impairing the body's ability to absorb nutrients since this is the part of the intestinal track responsible for nutrient absorption and also causing numerous other food sensitivities such as dairy/lactose intolerance. There is another gluten-related disorder known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just, "gluten sensitivity") that is not autoimmune in nature and which does not damage the small bowel lining. However, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. It is also much more common than celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS so, because they share common symptoms, celiac disease must first be ruled out through formal testing for celiac disease. This is where your husband is right now. It should also be said that some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease. I hope this helps.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By Judy M · Posted

      My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo).  So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours.  He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect.  He is scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.  He was told to eat "gluten free" until the tests!!!  I, and he know nothing about this "diet" much less how to navigate his in daily life!! The more I read, the more my head is spinning.  So I guess I have 2 questions.  First, I read on this website that prior to testing, eat gluten so as not to compromise the testing!  Is that true? His primary care doctor told him to eat gluten free prior to testing!  I'm so confused.  Second, I read that celiac disease is genetic or caused by other ways such as surgery.  No family history but Gall bladder removal 7 years ago, maybe?  But how in God's name does something like this crop up and now is so awful he can't go a day without worrying.  He still works in Manhattan and considers himself lucky if he gets there without incident!  Advice from those who know would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.
