Applegate Chicken Nuggets

I saw Applegate Farms Gluten Free Chicken Nuggets at my local Krogers (in the health food freezer section). My limited googling says they are pretty new (released in May of this year?). Anybody try these yet? Any reviews? We normally buy Bell & Evans but I have to go to Whole Foods for those. These would be more convenient.

We bought these for our autistic son who is on a Gluten-free Casein-free diet. He is such a picky eater! We had tried several brands of chicken nuggets with no winner...until this one! He has eaten every single one of the nuggets that we have put on his plate. I haven't tried them, but I'm sure if he's eating them than they must be good.

Thanks for the reply guys. I should have come back a little while ago and posted our review . . . yeah, we decided to go ahead and give it a try without hearing from anyone first.

I usually try everything that I give my daughter, but I didn't get a chance. My kids scarfed them down. My son (not Celiac and not gluten free) thought they were the best chicken nuggets that I've ever brought home. My daughter liked them just fine and likes them just as well as Bell & Evans. I got to eat a crumb of the coating and I will say that part was tasty. :P

For the record (so you can see how or tastes compare to your family), both of my children hated the Ian's. They both like the Bell & Evans. Per ounce, they were more expensive than Bell & Evans. We'll probably stick mostly with Bell & Evans, but I'm sure we'll have them again because of the convience of being able to get them at my local Krogers. I hope this means that when we are traveling, we'll also run into them at regular grocery stores.

      Is it gluten?

      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.

      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.

      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.
