Angel Food Ministries

Angel Food ministries has been around for a while. They offer boxes of food at a very low cost. It started as a way to help low income people make ends meet. Now the boxes can be purchased by anyone. It actually helps the program because it increases their buying power. They are offering a box with five pounds of breaded chicken products for $25. You can go to their website and find a site near to you and place an order online.

This is a faith-based group but they don't preach at you before they sell you the food. I think it could help lots of us stretch our gluten-free dollars!

Hope it's okay to post this! I'm only a customer!

I've been following them for some time and love their concept. I haven't quite figured out their definition of regular unit/box though. Does this mean you have order a regular box to get the allergen free box?

Per their Open Original Shared Link:

Can we receive more than one unit or special?

Yes, you can order as many regular units as you would like. To receive a special box you must first order a regular unit.

TrillumHunter Enthusiast

The allergen box counts as a "regular" box. You can get just one of those or you can get one of those and one or more of the "special" boxes. I ordered the allergen box and the fruit and veggie box.

Awesome! There are quite a few people in my community that benefit from their program. I have one more question. Everything on the allergen free menu is described as coated. Do you know what the coating is? I saw that on the menu and wondered.

If you contact angel food they will send you the list of the coating, also the products are coming form allergyfreefoods.com. This is a wonderful ministry, I help out at my church almost every month and the products are wonderful! :)

This is my second month ordering.

I didn't want to go through any special fuss, so I asked a friend to join. She orders the basic box and I order ameat box and the fruit and veggie box. I didn't see anything list about "allergen box". Is it new for the next month's menu?

Thanks so much for posting this. I never expected to find one within my limited travelling distance but there is one just a few miles from my home. :) Once the weather breaks and I know I can get there (no chance of snow), I will be a regular customer. I think it will help a lot and I am thrilled they have fresh produce.

I believe this is new for this program. I pick up my order on March 16 so I will let everyone know how things taste. I looked online and this price is almost half of what they charge on QVC for this stuff. Maybe more than half if you consider shipping? My kids are pretty jazzed about this and so am I!

mommida Enthusiast

I just got next months order sheet. It's on there and it can be purchased as a basic box - for $25!

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias! Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen1Nc7EtAlJyJbU8EhB89ElCGFPRavEQkTFHv9V2Zh1EMAPRno7UajBpLCQ-1JfC5jKUyzfgsf7jN5L6yfZSgjhnwEbg6KKwWrKeghga8W_CAhEEw9N0.eDBrhYWsjgEFud6ZE03iun0-AEaGfNS1q4ILLjZz7Fs&dib_tag=se&keywords=buckwheat%2Bgroats&qid=1769980587&s=grocery&sprefix=buchwheat%2Bgroats%2Cgrocery%2C249&sr=1-4&th=1 Takes about 10 minutes to cook. Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
