M&m Meat Gluten Free List

When I was first diasnosed with Celiac disease I had a hard time finding meals I actually enjoyed. Then I went to M&M meat shops and they had a whole gluten free list that looked great. Now I know for a fact a few things on the list contain gluten and I was just wondering if anyone knew if their Butter Chicken meals are actually gluten free. It says it on the list but I wanna be sure as I do eat them a lot. Any help would be apreciated.

Would you please share with us just how you know this "for a fact."

Yeah they listed lasagne, cheese cake, battered and breaded stuff on their list. Now I was only diagnosed with Celiac about a year ago but I could've sworn those things contained gluten.

Those are foods that commonly contain gluten, but unless you have checked the ingredient list you can not be absolutely sure. Have you?

Lasagna can be made using rice noodles--my wife and I do that all the time. Breading can be gluten-free. Just by looking at the type of product you do not know its gluten-free status for a fact.

I agree that such foods are usually not gluten-free, and it warrants questioning, but you can't just assume that all lasagna, or all cheesecake, or whatever contains gluten.

To accuse a company of misrepresentation based on an assumption is not fair.

No your right and they are a great company I have just been reading other posts about them doubting the list and just wanted to be sure as some of my favourite meal do come from there. Its just hard to be sure unless you make the food yourself

There are some very old topics about them. We don't usually but this sort of food. There is an M&M about 2km from where I live, but I have never been there. I will go in the next couple of days and see what I can find out.

      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.

      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.

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