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

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      Hey @Butch68, I also have dermatitis herpetiformis but don't suffer from it anymore. I used to drink Guinness too but I drink Cider now when out on social occasions.

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley...

      Gluten Issues and Vitamin D

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease. Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too. is this everyone’s experience? Can I drink it?

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.
