Freedom Foods have released a range of gluten free frozen foods that will be in all Coles supermarkets as of this week.

Some of the products will be: Sticky date puddings, donuts, shephards pie, fish bites, crumbed chicken tenderloins, lasagna, salmon and vegetable patties, two varieties of pizza, rich chocolate muffins, blueberry muffins and crumbed fish fillets.

Also Patties Pies are releasing a new range of products in April which will also be in Coles supermarkets and some IGA/Ritchies stores.

Their range will include: Bread, meat pies, party pies, vegie rolls, pizza rolls, sausage rolls, lamingtons, apple pies and stick date puddings.

Also for Melbourne people a visit to the Gluten Free Cash and Carry warehouse is a must. This week there is a 20% off sale of all their products for gluten free awareness week.

It is located at 38 Astor Avenue, Carrum Downs and is open Tuesday to Friday 11am to 5pm. This week it will also be open on Saturday.

I went yesterday and there was basically every products in the Orgran range, pastas, cookies, flours, cakes, bread, etc. etc. There were also products from the Eskal range and Country life bread products and swiss rolls etc. People were filling up whole trollies full of stuff. Well worth the visit.

If anyone has tried any of the Freedom Food products please let us know what you think.

I don't work for Freedom by the way but was very excited to see these products which will be handy to keep in the freezer for the occasional meal.

Are they dairy free as well ? And does Woolworths and IGA have the range ?

Unfortunately the Freedom foods range is only available at Coles, at least according to all advertisements I have seen.

As far as I can tell from the ad I have the dairy free ones are- Crumbed fish fillets, Salmon cakes, Fish bites and chicken tenders. One thing I do like about Freedom foods is that fact they label on the front products, it is very handy as not all their products are gluten-free.

I have been searching the frozen section at one of my local Coles but so no luck - it's early days though. Hopefuly some it will be decent, I can get pies and such from a health food shop, but it will good to be able to get them along with my other groceries.

The patties stuff look really nice as well esp. the Sticky dates.

Still none to be seen at Coles. Hopefully they will get there act together soon. Not sure if the hold up is with Freedom Foods or Coles.

Good to know thats its not just my coles. The last time I checked was Friday. The only reason I thought they may be delayed in hitting the shops was if the products were not available to order before March 1, if this was the case I would expect them to be in store by the end of this week, although I wouldn't have thought that it would take 3 weeks for them to get it in stock. I have re-read the advertisement and doesn't say anything about only being in The Coles stores in the capital cities.

Maybe they are going to give us all our Chirstmas's and Birthdays at once at put the Freedom foods things out when the Patties ones come out. :)

Some success!

I found most of the range at Franklins - no Coles supermarket had it over the weekend (went to about 4).

I went to Franklins at Castle Mall, NSW but I know there are some at Blacktown MegaCentre, NSW too.

So far I've had the crumbed chicken (REAL chicken!!!), donuts (so good warm) and I'm having the beef lasagna tonight. I have sticky date pudding in the freezer which I'm trying to hold out on.

I couldn't find the fish fillets, but I did see the pizza. Didn't see the patties etc.

Best bet is to go to Franklins if you can (it's out of my way, but worth it) or to ask the manager at Coles.

The patties range isn't released untill next week.

Only the Franklins stores in NSW are stocking the Freedom Foods.

I hope that coles will have have them in stock soon, I know that sometimes when you order in a specific item, you need to to do it in bulk- I just don't have the storage space for this. I am going away in a few days and it would have been handy to be able to go into coles and get something. :angry:

I got an email from Freedom saying that they shipped out the products to Coles distribution centre on 19th March and from there they will go to Coles Stores. It depends on each store as to which products they will stock.

Does anyone know how expensive they will be? Remember that range of Freedom crackers that were really expensive? Hopefully they will be a bit cheaper this time.

I saw Freedom foods in our local Coles last week.

Also had the crumbed fish and chicken mentioned.

I love the fish, I just love fish anyway.

A little bit of good news- My local Coles has cleared a space in their freezer section and tagged it, The bad news is that there was also This product is unavailable tags. Maybe in another month they wll have them.

Has anyone spotted the Patties range yet? I can't wait for to try the pizza rolls!

:lol::P:rolleyes: So very very happy tonight! I went to coles and they had the products! I got the chicken tenders and they are so good! I would have tired the sticky dates as well but I don't really have much spare freezer space at the moment and there not exactely cheap.

Well Coles at Southland (Melbourne) finally are stocking the products. We bought the donuts and the lasagna. So far have only tried the donuts and my daughter said they were very good. You just put them in the microwave for 30 seconds.

I knew the range would be expensive though but it is worth it to have a ready made meal in the freezer for when you don't have anything else at hand.

Has anyone found the patties products yet? We probably have a little longer to wait yet, going by how long it took for the Freedom Foods range to appear.

Also has anyone else found with the chicken tenders that the crumb kind of comes apart from the meat?

We tried the Freedom Lasagna and my daughter pronounced it just 'okay'. I tried a bit and it was not nice at all. Heaps of cheese and a bit rubbery tasting. The donuts got the thumbs up though.

I tired the supreme pizza. I was a little disapointed there was basically no cheese on it. It tastes nice around the edges as they were crispy ( Mostly because I left in the oven to long) however in the middle I found it a bit moist.

      This article does not address migraines at all. Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers.

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
