Marie Callender's Frozen Dinners

I was at the grocery store last night picking up some ice cream and for kicks read some labels on Marie Callendar's frozen dinners.

There were a few with gluten-free ingredients (and I can't remember the life of me which ones, I'm thinking sliced beef pot roast, potatoes and broccoli, stuff like that).

Has anyone tried these before? They are made by ConAgra so I trust the ingredients, just wondering about the x-contamination factor since so many of the Marie Callender's meals DO have gluten.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

These would be a great add to have around for quick meals.

The only one that I know of is the Chicken, cheese, broccoli, wild rice dinner. I have been eating it with no problem. It would be nice if there were others. Sometimes I have no leftovers for my lunch.

Seriously, this is gluten-free? Pre-gluten-free days, whenever I felt lousy and my tummy felt gross, this meal was always my standby that I'd get at the store. Heat it up, tons of salt and for some reason, my stomach felt better then. Hmm, it all makes sense now.

Wow, that sounds good. I miss that Uncle Ben's rice bowl they used to make with cheese and rice. Come to think of it, I don't think they make rice bowls anymore period.

thanks for the responses. i am going to pay much better attention at the store this weekend and report back with the ones i think have gluten-free ingredients. i think it is con-agra so it should be safe, but i'll probably call directly just to make sure.

there were seriously 2-3 meals with meat and potatoes and maybe a rice/chicken one and stuff! i was seriously excited because quick meals are a thing of the past at our house and that would buy us just a little bit of freedom. it's not necessarily super healthy, but nice to have around in a pinch.

i looked for the uncle ben's rice bowls and didn't see them either. i LOVED those!

I know on the Chicken, Wild rice, broccoli, cheese dinner I saw it posted on some celiac site. I have no idea which one now. I try to take leftovers for my lunch, but try to keep them on hand when I don't have any. It would be great to know it they have other ones too. Wendy

I looked today and the chicken, cheese and rice was the only one that didn't list wheat in the ingredients. Sorry.

best regards, lm

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      You’re raising a very real and very well-documented problem, and you’re absolutely right to be frustrated. Medication labeling is a major blind spot for people with celiac disease, because unlike food, drug manufacturers are not required to clearly disclose the source of binders, fillers, or excipients—even when they may be derived from wheat. That puts ...

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies c...

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      Trip to Anaheim/Disney

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease. Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

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

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
