Great Chicken Bites

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 :)

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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!!

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      By Jane02 · Posted

      Hi @trents, yes I've had my levels checked in Dec 2025 which revealed vit D deficiency. I considered eggs although they only contain about 45 IU vitamin D/egg. I need 2000 IU vitamin D for maintenance as per my doctor. Although now, I likely need way more than that to treat the deficiency. My doctor has yet to advise me on dosing for deficiency. I've also considered cod liver oil, although again, if it's processed in a facility that has gluten, especially on flour form, I worried to test it, even if they have protocols in place to mitigate cross-contamination with gluten.

      Welcome to celiac.com, @Jane02! Have you had your serum D levels checked for deficiency/sufficiency? What about cod liver oil? Egg yolks can also be a good source of vitamin D.

      By Jane02 · Posted

      Hello, I'm very discouraged. I've been trying to find a safe vitamin mineral supplement brand for months and am tired of testing one after the other and experiencing my typical 'glutening' reactions. I'm really feeling the nutritional deficiencies set in. I'm doing the best I can to get these nutrients from my food, although it's impossible for me to intake enough vitamin D as I can't have dairy and have insufficient sun exposure in the northern hemisphere. I've tried B Complex from Country Life (certified gluten-free) - horrible reaction. I've tried Metagenics vitamin D tab (certified glute-free) - bad reaction. I've tried liquid vitamin D Thorne and D Drops - reactions were mild since I tried a drop of a drop. I understand there could be other things I'm reacting to in my diet, although my diet/intake is pretty consistent with minimal variables so I do think it's something in these supplements. I understand I could be reacting to the active ingredient vitamin/mineral itself or even the filler ingredients. I tried the vitamin D drops since the only filler ingredient is coconut oil, in some brands, which I know I can tolerate really well on its own - I cook with coconut oil frequently and have no 'glutening' reactions at all. Perhaps I'm reacting to the vitamin D itself, although I eat fatty fish every few days, an entire fillet with no 'glutening' reactions, which contains anywhere between 400-600 IU per fillet so I shouldn't be sensitive to vitamin D. All this to say, I'm desperately looking for at least a safe vitamin D supplement. Does anyone know of a safe vitamin D supplement brand? I'd love to know if there are any supplement brands that have absolutely no gluten (especially in flour form) in their facilities. I've heard of Kirkman having no grains in their facility - I may try this brand. Has anyone reacted to this brand?

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias! Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      By Matthias · Posted

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.
