Has Anyone Ever Tried Dietary Specialties Products?

I just came across this webiste today when I googled gluten free ravioli (having a major craving attack).

Open Original Shared Link

They have a bunch of things I would love to try like filled pasta shells, spinach ravioli, and fish sticks! But the minimum order is $75 and I am super hesitant to spend that in case it is terrible, like most of the other mail order gluten free food I have tried. But for ravioli?? I am thinking about it...

Can anyone vouch for these products??

for the first few months i was gluten-free i put up with there products. i could not find anyone else making gluten-free stuffed shells or ravioli. then i found safe harbor foods and have never turned back. if i absoultly had to have ravioli and couldn't find anyone else i guess i would buy dietary specialties again.

I saw this site and have not tried it, the price was what has me still debating, seems like so much and if it is not good you are out almost a $100 buck, and that is hard for me to lose. Hope we do hear back.

I have made my own stuffed shells and they were great. If you want I can dig up the recipe.

They are not particualrly good....

They also in Europe use CODEX gluten-free.... I can eat limited amounts of this and get sick...

If the products were really good I might think it was worthwhile taking a risk and eating just a little but they are nothing special.

I wouldn't lay out $75 to find out!

This is good to know, sounds like it really isn't worth the money. I was thinking if they were really good, I would have heard of them by now.

I did find that Gluten Free Girl had a recipe for homemade gluten-free ravioli so I am going to have to give that a try this weekend. Thanks everyone!

We have tried several of dietary specialties products including the ravioli which is great by the way

I will give you a run down on what we have tried and what we thought of them

chicken nuggets are like really good my kids love them and you get a large bag of them

fish sticks - are ok my kids do eat them but they are very small and crunchy (more breading than meat) and you dont get that many in a box for the price...so we stick with ians brand

Pizzas-YUCK!! small and hard once they are cooked ( you can bang them on the table one they are cooked and they wont break)...We make our own

Cheese Cake -YUMMY...but very small

Lasagna with meat sauce GREAT!! but small for the price

Mac and Cheese my kids love it...

Blueberry Muffin mix - I like it and one kid likes it but one thinks that they are bland

Cornbread mix--WE thought it was Nasty

Pancakes are great

And the brownies......YUMMY!!..we love them ..but we also but Gluten free Panrty brownie Mix...which are just as good for the price

Oh and the stuffed pasta shells.....they are ok I guess I liked them but the kids did not

I hope this helped

Is this another brand of gluten-free ravioli? Where can you buy them?

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      How do I contact someone at celiac.com concerning the cessation of my weekly e-newsletter? I had been receiving it regularly for years. When I tried to sign-up on the website, my email was not accepted. I tried again with a new email address and that was rejected as well. Thank you in advance!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      Thanks @Scott Adams. Do you know if Kirkland Signature supplements share facility and production lines with other products containing gluten?  I'm worried that I'll react to this brand just like I did with other gluten-free labelled supplement brands.
