    Ready-made Gluten Free options

    My partner too is Coeliac.

    ALDI supermarkets have frozen dinners (Tikka Masala, Butter Chicken and Rogan Josh) that are Gluten free. I don't eat them but they are good for partner in terms of taking an easy lunch to work.

    Another GF winner are MTR ready-to-eat indian meals (there are a couple of other brands too but my memory fails me). They are sold in all indian/pakistani grocers, they are really nice! I eat them all the time. They cost $2 to $3 for a 300g sachet, you just open, heat, add cooked rice and serve. With rice it is a perfect meal size. They are all vegetarian and preservative free as well.

    The thing I find most difficult about gluten free diets is that we both work full-time and at times I need quick options or I would spend all week cooking the week's meals, so those ready-made meals are great for that

    Also a number of Heinz soups are GF, the ready to serve ones, you just have to check each one.

    Most people know about it but in case you don't, the Coeliac Society of Vic publish an inredients guide that I take to the supermarket every time I go. There is a lot out there not labelled as GF but if you know how to check you find some suprises. For exmaple, ALDI sell a gluten free ham, and you get 3 times the amount that Hans sell for about the same price, and Bi-Lo corn flakes are gluten free too.

    Hope this helps someone

    Does anyone know where I can get this from? I had a look on the Coeliac Society Vic website but the only thing I could find that was close was a book and you had to be a member to buy it and I cant afford the $75 membership fee.
