Natural Feast Pies

I heard about Natural Feast Pies online and there was a brief mention on a post some time back too. For multiple allergies, it seemed like they would be a wonderful blessing. But in my travels to several Wild Oats and Whole Foods in the midwestern states, I wondered why I never found them. I finally talked to a midwestern grocery store chain which has health food sections in most of their stores to accomodate states like mine with few health food stores. They said they actually test sampled Natural Feast Pies and decided not to carry them because the customers thought they tasted terrible. That is SO different than what I heard on this board and the way the product is described online. How could they be THAT bad??

Could those of you who have tried them share your opinions? Thanks so much!

I ordered several different kinds from Natural Feast last Thanksgiving - I have Celiac and didn't know how to cook that well yet.

They were the worst pies I've ever had in my entire life. I've learned how to make my own - 100 percent better.

Do NOT waste your money. They cost a fortune and taste like crap.

we actually did a alternative Thanksgiving feast food demo this past month at three health food stores and demoed those pies, EVERYONE THOUGHT THEY SUCKED... they were just plain nasty... but I spoke with the lady that ordered them and she liked them... she said that a lot of the people that buy them don't buy them because they are gluten free, but because they are vegan and therefore they might be used to weirder tasting foods! LOL!... I personally think they are just nasty.

I made the most delicious gluten-free pumpkin pie for thanksgiving using the gluten free pantrys perfect pie crust mix... it turned out perfect and everyone that tried it loved it...

I sampled them just recently and didn't like them at all. It wasn't the worst thing I definately didn't like it. I tried the blueberry and apple pies.

Boy, do I appreciate all your opinions! I would have been easily fooled by the beautiful website. They sure LOOK delicious. I enjoy making great gluten free pies from scratch. It is just always nice to have the convenience of storebought stuff once in awhile.

Thanks again guys!

I've had the chocolate mousse which i thought was actually really good....and the apple/cranberry which while it isn't the best thing, i don't think it is horrible. then again i'm 24 and can't cook that much on my own just yet :)

I had the Apple Streussel (sp?) recently and thought it was terrific. This is the second time I have tried the product, but the first time I followed the cooking directions to the letter. What a difference! I thoroughly enjoyed the pie and have recently purchased a blueberry pie, which is on the menu for our Sunday dinner.

My advice is to give it a try, but follow the cooking directions. I think you will be glad you did.

Cheers!

      Rectal pain

      When I have had what I think are episodes of this (I've never had a formal diagnosis for PF) it seems to be triggered by bloating caused by something I've eaten - a friend had an episode of this after eating too many apples, for me corn and rice cakes seemed to give me IBS and trigger this. I am not a medical person but it seemed like the extra pressure...

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      At a family wedding in Italy last year I was drinking gluten free Peroni which was fine for me. From the Daura Damn website ... " Our guarantee less than 3ppm: each batch is analyzed and certified by the CSIC using the R5 Competitive ELISA test before hitting the market. This way, we ensure that its gluten content is always below 3ppm "

      Hi jmartes, I brought up doTerra's website and see that they do have many supplements, offer support and help. And using their organic products has been helpful. and yet you are not able to work enough to support yourself when, if you were healtht, you could work for another 20 years. It does not seem that they offer a program to follow and instead...

      Gluten free nuts

      Thank you for all the excellent information. I moved from Wyoming to California. May be its where I am located but So far none of the Costco Kirkland brand I have looked at is labeled gluten free. Same with the Sam's Members Mark. The Kirkland nuts you mention all say they are processed in a plant that processes wheat. I am going to keep checking. Thank...

Coeliacs can suffer from bloating when they are first diagnosed due to the inability to digest food properly.  Lactose for me caused a lot of bloating and when I came off it temporarily after diagnosis it helped reduce bloating.  Iron supplements and the timing of taking them also caused discomfort and I had to experiment a bit with type and timing before my gut felt comfortable.   Maybe something to think about?   Some coeliacs suffer from constipation - again, just a thought, but perhaps if you had issues with that it might be a contributor.

      Hi jmartes, I brought up doTerra's website and see that they do have many supplements, offer  support and help. And using their organic products has been helpful. and yet you are not able to work enough to support yourself when, if you were healtht, you could work for another 20 years. It does not seem that they offer a program to follow and instead are offering supplements for your symptoms. This has helped you but you are not able to work very much.  The Programs I have seen  online usually have 3 parts. The first is a Parasite cleanse. The 2nd is the Kidney cleanse and the  3rd is a Liver cleanse and gallbladder cleanse. You need to doall these cleanses to have your whole body functioning well. I can only reccommend the program I gave you because that is the one I used and still do. (drclark.net)  When I see a newprovider and tell I have Celiacs and they look skeptical I tell them that when I am gluttoned the reaction happens 8 or more hours later with intestinal painful cramping followed by diarrhea. Providers are willing to accept tha I probably have Celiacs and are more likely order tests such as vitamin levels. Is this what happens if you eat only a small amount of Gluten? You mentioned going to Mayors. 20 years ago many Dr.s wanted to include a celiac screening as a standard test so that more people eould diagnosed and not become disabled. It did not happen but the Federal levgislature did pass a law so that Celiacs could claim deductions for the gluten free food they bought. What were you going to ask the Mayors to do?
