My Kids Won't Eat Any gluten-free Chicken Nuggets

I've tried my kids on Happy Bites, Ians and Earth best gluten-free chicken nuggets. They won't eat them. My hubby accidentally brought home glutened Applegate nuggets and they ate them all up. Have I missed a good brand?

My kids did not like Ian's at all. Have not heard of or tried the other two.

Applegate farms makes a gluten free chicken nugget that got good reviews at my house (especially from my son who is not gluten free). They were more of a processed (ground) chicken nugget but with a pretty tasty coating.

Bell & Evans gets a good rating as well. The coating isn't quite as tasty, but the meat is not ground which is what my daughter prefers. Bell & Evans also make gluten versions so make sure your package says gluten free.

You could try making them yourself. Here's an easy recipe that is also dairy and soy free if you use soy-free mayo (Betty Crocker Potato Buds are gluten-free):

You took the words right out of my mouth! gluten-free panko crumbs, crushed gluten-free corn flakes (and other cereals) work well, too. Have never tried the BC potato buds - I don't think we have them here??!

I have only found them in select stores. BJ's Warehouse and Walmart--which I don't go in very often but I will go to just buy some of them. I keep a box on hand mainly for my hubby. It's one of the few things he will make himself when I'm not around to cook or if if I get sick and can't cook. As an aside, the recipe I posted may not be the BEST one out there but it is very easy and I know Shayre has said in other posts she doens't cook much. Baby steps sometimes are needed to get into cooking. ;)

My picky kids like Applegate Farms (Sprouts and my local grocery store) and Bell & Evans (Whole Foods). Applegate Farms has directions for cooking them in the microwave, so they're good if you're in a hurry or if you want a kid to be able to make them. My kids hated Hallelujah Farms and Ians.

We have an oven fried chicken recipe on the blog linked from my profile that could work for chicken nuggets if you just make the pieces smaller and boneless.

We just use potato chips. No recipe really. Add whatever you like i.e. parmesan cheese you don't need to add salt though. Make it stick to chicken pieces any way you can and bake in oven. Not healthy at all, but they sure taste good.

You're right - no recipe required! I just dip the chicken into buttermilk then panko (or my own spicy breadcrumbs I make from gluten-free bread heels) that has been seasoned with lots of herbs and spices and Parmesan. Maybe some lemon or lime zest. Usually I make an aoili or honey mustard dip or cool ranch dip (or all three). If I make an adult version I like to make a roasted plum or roasted grape sauce with maybe a touch of Port or red wine and cracked black pepper.

Yes, thank you! Baby steps for me... When I feel like a normal person again, then maybe I will feel like cooking more. Right now...just trying to force myself. Quick or longer recipes and products are always appreciated:) I am not opposed to start ordering from the internet too...to make my family eat without argument!!!

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Sarah Grace,  Thank you for the update!  It's so good to hear from you!  I'm glad Thiamine, B Complex and magnesium have helped you.  Yes, it's important to take all three together.    I had to quit eating cheese and nuts a long time ago because they triggered migraines in me, too.  They are high in tyrosine, an amino acid, found also in fermented foods like sauerkraut and red wine.   I found taking Tryptophan very helpful with migraines.  Tryptophan is a precursor of serotonin and people with migraines are often low in serotonin.  (Don't take tryptophan if you're taking an SSRI.)     This recent study shows tryptophan really helps. The association between dietary tryptophan intake and migraine https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31254181/   For immediate respite from a migraine, try smiling REALLY BIG, mouth closed, tongue pressed against roof of mouth, and crinkle up your eyes like you just heard or saw the funniest thing...  This causes an endorphin release in the brain.  Usually it's the funny event, then the endorphin release and then the smile.  Smiling first makes the endorphin center think it missed something and it catches up quickly by releasing endorphins after the big crinkle eyed smile.  Must make crinkly eyes with smile or it won't work.  If you do this too frequently within a short time frame (several hours), you can deplete your endorphins, but you'll make more in a couple of hours, so no worries. Get your thyroid checked, too.  Migraines are also seen in low thyroid function (Hashimoto's or hypothyroidism).  Celiac and thyroid problems go hand in hand.   Vitamin D helps, too.  Low Vitamin D is found in migraine.   I'm so glad you're doing better.

      Its been a complete nightmare dealing with all these health issues one thing after another and being told many different things.I am looking for a new primary care physician considering when I told my past doctor of 25 years I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet and now this year at age 54 no longer able to push considering Im always exhausted, leg pain , stomach,skin and eye issues,high blood pressure to name a few all worsen because I was a  school bus driver and few years until my immune system went to hell and was fired because of it.Im still struggling now, Im sibo positive and been told im not celiac and that I am.I have a hernia and dealing with menopause. Its exhausting and is causing depression because of non medical help. Today I saw another gastrointestinalist and he said everything im feeling doesn't add up to celiac disease since my ITg levels are normal so celiac disease is under control and it's something else. I for got I had Barrett's esophagus diagnosed in 2007 because recent doctors down played it just like my celiac disease. Im currently looking for a pcp in my area because it is affecting me personally and professionally. Im told since celiac looks under control it's IBS and I need to see a therapist to control it. Gastrointestinalist around here think only food consumption and if ITG looks normal its bit celiac disease it's something else. Is this right? This is what im being told. I want medical help but told its IBS.Im feel lost by " medical team "

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.
