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!!!

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet.  I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now.  He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs.  It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc.  It's literally neurological inflammation.  Not to be taken lightly here.  We have sought out many other possible ways to cope during this window of time (8 months!!!!)  without success.   AN-PEP does not help and seems like studies on this are not well researched.  So, we are trying this out because research shows some promising results.  And, all participants showed no cravings afterwards, no signs of addiction.  The patch is different than the oral route such as smoking, vaping, gum, pouch, etc.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-Free.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      @fatjacksonthecat I have been doing some digging about the topic of nicotine and celiac.  I came across many studies that showed that the nicotine patch helped many with long covid and chronic fatigue syndrome.  I have a son who was diagnosed with celiac and his symptoms are severe when he is glutened.  He shows a lot of neurological inflammation and suffered with fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety and insomnia. There have been studies revealing that nicotine smoke actually masking celiac symptoms.  I also read that microdosing with a nictoine patch prevents one from addiction.  We are currently trying this out and so far it has lifted the brain fog and helped with anxiety and mood.  One of the studies I have read showed that it's not so much the dose, but the length of time a person is on the patch that showed improvements.  Many showed significant improvement as early as week 3 and continued through week 12.  We are taking 3 day breaks in between to make sure we don't down regulate the nicotine receptors.   How have things been for you?  Are you still chewing nicotine gum?  Perhaps, try the patch?  And how long did it take to ease up on your symptoms when glutened?

      Hi @KathyR37 and a very warm welcome here.  I am so very sorry that you are going through all of this. I just wanted to check, have you ever been tested for any other gastrointestinal conditions? Cristiana

      @KathyR37, I would suspect that in addition to gluten intolerance, you have other food intolerances/sensitivities. This is very common in the celiac community. The most common offenders are oats, dairy, soy, corn and eggs with dairy and oats being the big two. Have you considered this? Have you tried keeping a food diary to detect patterns?
