Cheap Option For gluten-free Battered Meats.


MisoSushi

I've been lurking around these message boards using them to help find safe options for eating and I decided to share a gem that I just discovered!

So my grandmother told me about this thing that a lot of churches participate in that allows anyone that wants to get cheap good food to order it in. I ordered about a week ago a 5 pound box of mixed battered meats sold as allergy free (including gluten and many things that people seem to also be allergic to) for 25 bucks. I picked it up today, everything came as promised and I fried up some chicken nuggets, first time I've had a breaded meat since I started this diet. They were tasty.

The program that you can order this (and other things like fresh fruits and veggies and other meats) is:

They deliver the food once a month to local churches, I searched and found I had two in my city participating. No you don't have to be in a financial crunch to use it, and no you don't have to be a member of the church.

The company that's providing this particular food item incase you want to verify that it's allergy safe (I didn't find out till I got my box) is:

Open Original Shared Link

I checked out of curiosity on the prices on that site and they charge 40 bucks for a 4 pound box plus shipping! I normally stick to regular food since trying to find gluten-free alternatives usually ends up being way to pricey, and I'm too lazy to try and make a batter myself (im a busy 22 year old, who used to microwave everything, I think I've made progress upgrading to the stove :P.)

I'm hoping that other people can benefit from this price and encourage them to continue offering an allergy free deal from the demand (they just added the allergy free option).

I'll be around and try to answer any questions about my experiences with the program or product. I plan on ordering 2 boxes next time and maybe from fruits and veggies since they looked just as good if not better then the stuff at my local grocery.

Thanks so much for posting this. I checked the link and there is an Angel Food Ministry in my town. I am going to stop on my lunch hour Wednesday to place an order. The gluten free breaded chicken I occasionally buy in the store is so expensive. I can't wait for my daughter to try this. Thanks!!!!!

Even though my favorites are still the Bell & Evans I used to buy there chicken nuggets at Stop & Shop but i no longer am finding them there? I just wrote the company to see where i can purcase them in person cause the food was tasty and more affordable.

We order meat from Angel Food! I was SO excited when I saw that they are offering an allergen-free package. I can't wait to order it!

I've been debating on trying their other meats... I doubt it's as cheap as me looking for marked down meat at the supermarket.

I have been ordering from them for two months. I get the allergy box and my roommate gets the regular order and the extra meat box. We are both delighted with what we received. I have to watch how much rice I eat and the batter is rice based but even with eating the allergy free meats about 4 times a week I had almost a months worth of meat for one.

The other meats come frozen individually sealed in air tight plastic wrap. So freezer burn is not a problem. The Steaks were really good.

Either way it is a good deal and a great way to stretch the food dollar. Their motto is that if you eat you qualify.

It may not be, especially if there is no one in your household to take advantage of the glutenous food that comes with the other packages. I'm ok with there being gluten-laden food in the house as long as I don't eat it, so my family takes advantage of the cookies, processed meats, etc. that are usually included in the packages.

      @Manaan2, have you considered the possibility that she might be cross reacting to some food or foods that technically don't contain gluten but whose proteins closely resemble gluten. Chief candidates might be dairy (casein), oats (avenin), soy, corn and eggs. One small study showed that 50% of celiacs react to CMP (Cow's Milk Protein) like they do gluten.

      Gluten withdrawal is temporary, eat well!!

      I realize I'm super late in the game regarding this topic but in case anyone is still reading/commenting on this one-does anyone who is especially sensitive have their personal observations to share regarding Primal Kitchen brand?  My daughter was diagnosed almost 2 years ago with celiac and within 6 months, her follow up labs were normal and a year later vitamin levels significantly improving, but we are still battling GI symptoms; particularly, constipation, so much that she has been on MiraLax every day since she was 3.  We've managed to get her down to a half cap every other day but without that, she continues to have issues (when she has a known, accidental ingestion unfortunately it takes a lot more MiraLax and additional laxatives to help her).  I was searching for something else and found this and am wondering if anyone has any specific comments regarding Primal Kitchen.  I feel like we are so incredibly careful with diet, logging diet and symptoms to look for patterns (we've had multiple dieticians help with this piece as well), not eating out, contacting companies and of course, there is always room for improvement but I'm running out of ideas regarding where her issues could be coming from.  Even if the Primal Kitchen is contributing, I'm sure it's not the only thing contributing but I can't help but think there must be handful of things that are working together and against her.  The ingredients list distilled white vinegar, but also white wine vinegar and balsamic, then "spices" which I'm always cautious about.  However, after contacting the company, I felt more comfortable allowing her to consume their products but over time I've realized that the front-line customer service support people don't always provide the most accurate of information.  Thanks for reading to anyone that does.

      Welcome to the forum, @Bebee, Yes, Celiac Disease has genetic commonalities with MS, hypothyroidism, arthritis, Reynaud, and rosacea.   Usually a gluten challenge is done before endoscopy with biopsies taken,  however I would not recommend a gluten challenge before endoscopy with biopsies for you since you have been gluten free for so long and have so many concurrent autoimmune diseases.   You can still have the endoscopy with biopsy samples taken now.  After several months with dietary changes, you can have another to compare results and check that intestinal health has improved.   You can get a genetic test for Celiac disease which shares genetics with other autoimmune diseases that you have.  Eating gluten is unnecessary for genetic tests. For the rosacea, get checked for SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) that could be causing gastrointestinal symptoms as well as causing skin issues.  Our skin is a reflection of our gastrointestinal health.     Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet has been helpful in keeping my own rosecea, eczema, and dermatitis herpetiformis and other autoimmune diseases in check.   Be sure to be checked for nutritional deficiencies that occur easily in gluten free and dairy free diets. Keep us posted on your progress! References: Clustering of autoimmune diseases in patients with rosacea https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26830864/ And...
