Great Chicken Bites


KaitiUSA

Recommended Posts

2 days ago at a local health food store I found chicken bites that said gluten free right on them. We then got a bag and tried them and let me tell you these are addicting(and I am a pretty picky eater). They taste exactly like normal ones so we went back and took every last one from their shelf.

They are by Wellshire Farms and they are Wellshire kids chicken bites. They look and taste exactly like normal ones..nobody could even tell a difference.

Has anyone else tried these? If you haven't I would definitely recommend them

Hey. I know Ian's are pretty controversial--you like 'em or you don't. And you tried those and liked them as I did...how do the ones you mentioned compare to Ian's? THanks :)

KaitiUSA Enthusiast

I personally thought Ian's were ok and I ate them but compared to these ...they just don't compare in my opinion

Carriefaith Enthusiast

Those sound good! I hope they have them in Canada! What do they use instead of wheat?

KaitiUSA Enthusiast

Ok here are all of the ingredients from the bag. It also says gluten free and dairy free.

Chicken meat, battered and breaded with rice flour, water, yellow corn flour, tapioca dextrin, salt, corn starch, spices, onion powder,garlic powder, paprika, extractives of paprika and tumeric, yeast extract, natural flavors, soybean oil, tumeric, beet powder, malic acid, lecithin (breading set in soybean oil)

I just bought some this weekend. I'll let ya know what we think once we've tried them!

I found that these are all different thicknesses and when I would cook them, some would be pink inside, so I stopped having them and I have Ians instead (well, not right now, they don't stand a chance in the blender...) and they are about the same I think, I will have the Wellshire Kids ones occassionally but really cook them to make sure they are al cooked.

KaitiUSA Enthusiast

hmm...never had a problem with that over here but I'll definitely pay attention for it. I always make sure my meat is cooked well before eating it and you should always make sure because you don't want to end up sick.

Some one on this board recomended them a while back. My toddler son loved them for about 2 weeks... now he wont touch them(typical)... so we stopped buying them for now. We have to drive 45mins to the closest store that carries them.

They dont taste like the Tyson ones that he loved before his celiac disease Dx, if they did he prbly eat them hand and fist....

Vydorscope-Has your son tried Ian's chicken nuggets yet? I know with Ian's it is controversial some people like them and some don't. I'm guessing same goes for these too. It just depends on what the person likes.

HAve not seen Ian's around here... what is "controversial" about them?

KaitiUSA Enthusiast

It's been controversial about the taste...I mean it's like that with just about every food though. Maybe your son will like Ian's kind better.

Odd... I would never have thought that becuase one person likes a food, and another does not, it would be called "controversial"... seems silly, cause then ever single peice of food ever created is controversial! :lol:

:D

My son likes the Wellshire chicken nuggets. We buy them in Whole Foods in Montclair, NJ and also The Happy Carrot in River Edge, NJ (a health food store, which also carries lots of gluten free products). Who sells the Ian's brand? Haven't seem them yet.

celiac3270 Collaborator

Yeah..you love 'em or you hate 'em. There isn't much of an in between. I liked them--many did not. ;)

Kaiti, I told my mom about the nuggets and we're both on the look out :lol:

Be sure to get the Ian's Allergy Free kind. They do make nuggets and fish sticks that contain gluten. The allergy free are the ones that you want!!

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      A lot to think about here. Does anyone have any recommendations for third party laboratories that will do full panel celiac screens private pay in the U.S.?
