Cheap Option For gluten-free Battered Meats.

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:

Open Original Shared Link

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.

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.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      My only proof

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.

      Anyone experimented with Taurine supplementation either via electrolyte powders or otherwise? Thanks
