Michelina's

I emailed Michelina's (frozen dinners) and they said they can't guarantee gluten-free because of cross-contamination, etc. But, they also said they wouldn't hide ingredients. So my next question. Looking at the ingredients, I could eat grilled chicken, chicken BBQ, parmeasan chicken, and cheesy broccoli potatoes. I'm certainly not planning to make these a habit, but I'm moving in a couple weeks (cross-country), and there are going to be times when I need a meal in a pinch that's in grocery stores/convenience stores!

Has anyone had any problems (or no problems) with Michelina's in the past?

Before Celiac I used to buy the frozen Michelina's fried rice. It was always good for a quick meal and cheap besides. I'll have to take a look again at the Michelina line, thanks. BTW, would the parmesan chicken be safe...it's sounds good but is the coating breadcrumbs?

On their website they have a listing of items suitable for those with a wheat allergy (and as far as I can tell, the wheat free are also gluten free). Open Original Shared Link There's only 4 meals that are gluten-free, unfortunately.

      Thank you 😊 I will certainly have those tests done to be thorough although bright red color indicates lower down.  This information is very interesting,  Thank you so much 🙏🏻

      As Plumbago mentioned, bleeding in the upper end of the GI track tends not to show up as bright red in color because it gets acted upon by the digestion process and more thoroughly mixed in with food residues that are passing through the intestines.

      @Bronwyn W Working with your medical provider, you could do a complete blood count test. If you were bleeding say from an ulcer in the stomach (and let's hope not), your red blood cells could be low and your hemoglobin low as well. Your stools may show up as the proverbial "dark and tarry," indicative of a bleeding site further away from the anus. Basically, you may be anemic. Your heart may be beating extra fast as a way to compensate for the decreased number of blood cells, your oxygen saturation may be lower than normal on a pulse oximeter, and so on. But talk to your doctor.

      Thank you for this insight. I have had rectal bleeding after glutening and subsequent constipation (+ IBS-C) and always attributed it to internal hemorrhoids (diagnosed). What I wasn't aware of is the possibility of bleeding further up the digestive tract. Please can you elaborate on the causes and symptoms to watch for?

      Still unsure.....

      Be sure to be eating gluten daily until all of your celiac disease tests are completed (at least 2 slices worth of wheat bread per day for at least 6-8 weeks before any blood tests, and 2 weeks before an endoscopy).
