Hi There,

I just found out that Ian's Natural Foods have Wheat Free, Gluten Free (WF, gluten-free) chicken nuggets, fish sticks, turkey corn dogs, french fries & sweet pot. fries. Are any of them good? They are pretty pricy so I thought I would ask before I spent the money. Any opinions would be appreciated!

Thanks!!

Kacie

I like the fish sticks quite a lot, but I find the other products are less good. Others seem to like them though.

I eat the chicken nuggets all the time - they're great! The fish sticks are also good, but I wasn't too crazy about the turkey corn dogs.

My 5 year old practically lives on the chicken nuggets. She and my 18 month old just love them!! My little one likes the fish sticks too, however... neither of his sibs will eat them.

I just purchased the turkey corndogs today and have not yet tried them. (Wellshire Kids makes gluten-free chicken corndogs on a stick that are realllllllllly good!)

I like their fish sticks. I wasn't terribly impressed with the chicken nuggets. I haven't tried the corn dogs (can't find anywhere that carries them around here).

They are good about sending out coupons if you call them. It might be worth it to call and get a coupon and try them at a reduced price :)

I saw the chicken nuggets the other day for the first time, and refused to buy them. $6 for 224g. That's half a pound. SIX DOLLARS! :o Forget it. <_<

I know the chicken nuggets are expensive, but they are so good! I eat them all the time.

I have tried the chicken nuggets and the fish sticks. While the taste was okay I found the coating to be much to crunchy, read like eating a rock. My celiac teeth can't take it and I threw the rest of both boxes away.

how did you prepare them I don't find them too crunchy at all. I usually just toss them in the microwave. I think the chick nuggets are good. Sometimes I cut them up and make a patty with them and eat them like a burger with sauteed onions. I usually get them for like 4-5 $ a box

I bake them. I never use my microwave for anything other than defrosting and boiling water, I have never cared for the change in the texture of food cooked in one. I could see how they would be less crunchy if zapped though.

I thought the chicken nuggets were ok until I found Bell & Evans chicken tenders and nuggets which are wonderful. The Ian's ones remind me of McDonald's nuggets and the Bell & Evan's ones are real white meat and not just a bunch of coating. Sometimes you get a bite that seems like all coating and no chicken.

I would think the Ian's ones are very kid friendly, but that adults may like the Bell & Evan's better.

Bell and Evans look good but they have egg which I cant have thats the problem with most gluten free food is aalot if it has ingredients I cant have the ians for me are one of the only premade foods I can get. Maybe one day I will be able to eat bell and evans though

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I take both Benfotiamine and TTFD. You might want to start with the Benfotiamine for a few days and then add in the TTFD. You can look for NeuroMag (Magnesium Threonate). A magnesium glycinate is fine, too. Doctor's Best is a good brand. Don't take more than 300mg total per day of magnesium or it may have a laxative effect. Be sure...

      Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine has 100MG of Ben and 25 of Thia..... Do you think this is the one I should take or Objective Nutrients Thiamax (TTFD) which has 100MG Thiamine. How much magnesium should I look for? I take the womens 50+ multivitamin since consumerlabs stated and tested that it has the right amount of vitamins and not too much for...

      Glutened

      Hi all I’ve been celiac for 4 years now, I’ve done pretty well to avoid it thus far. Last night I took the wrong pizza out of the freezer and ate the whole lot!! The non gluten and gluten pizza boxes are both very similar. 2 hours later I was throwing up violently on my hands and knees over the loo. .horrendous stomach pains, My hair was wet fro...

      Yes, do take your B Complex with Benfotiamine or Thiamax. Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the B Complex to make energy and enzymes, so best to take them together earlier in your day. Taking them too close to bedtime can keep you too energetic to go to sleep. The Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine is Benfotiamine and...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I looked further into Thiamax Vitamin B1 by objective nutrients and read all the great reviews. I think I will give this a try. I noticed only possible side affect is possibly the first week so body adjusts. Life Extensions carries Benfotiamine with Thiamine and the mega one you mentioned. Not sure if both in one is better or seperate. some reviews state...

How much magnesium should I look for? I take the womens 50+ multivitamin since consumerlabs stated and tested that it has the right amount of vitamins and not too much for men and doesn't have BHT which has shown to cause liver cancer in animals. I was never big with multivitamins as well as doctors I just read when I was first going gluten free to take a multi but I think I will stop them and work on trying the super B Thia and Ben, Mag.

      Hi all I’ve been celiac for 4 years now, I’ve done pretty well to avoid it thus far. Last night I took the wrong pizza out of the freezer and ate the whole lot!! The non gluten and gluten pizza boxes are both very similar.   2 hours later I was throwing up violently on my hands and knees over the loo.  .horrendous stomach pains,  My hair was wet from sweat every part of my body was wet. What an awful experience, just had a bad headache today  fortunately.    Is their any products/pills anyone takes if they have realised they have just been glutened to make the symptoms a little less worse.  thanks

      Yes, do take your B Complex with Benfotiamine or Thiamax.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the B Complex to make energy and enzymes, so best to take them together earlier in your day.  Taking them too close to bedtime can keep you too energetic to go to sleep.   The Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine is Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride, another form of thiamine the body likes.  The Thiamine HCl just helps the Benfotiamine work better.   Read the label for how many milligrams are in them.  The Mega Benfotiamine is 250 mgs.  Another Benfothiamine has 100 mgs.  You might want to start with the 100 mg.    I like to take Thiamax in the morning with a B Complex at breakfast.  I take the Benfotiamine with another meal.  You can take your multivitamin with Benfotiamine at lunch.   Add a magnesium supplement, too.  Thiamine needs magnesium to make some important enzymes.  Life Extension makes Neuro-Mag, Magnesium Threonate, which is really beneficial.  (Don't take Magnesium Oxide.  It's not absorbed well, instead it pulls water into the digestive tract and is used to relieve constipation.)  I'm not a big fan of multivitamins because they don't always dissolve well in our intestines, and give people a false sense of security.  (There's videos on how to test how well your multivitamin dissolves.).  Multivitamins don't prevent deficiencies and aren't strong enough to correct deficiencies.   I'm happy you are trying Thiamax and Benfotiamine!  Keep us posted on your progress!  I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.

I will do further research but I appreciate the wonderful explanation you provided on Thiamine.
