Hi all..

I am still not tested yet, so whilst i am 95% sure i am celiac with stomach pains and bad skin when i eat products with wheat.

I generally avoid, but must have been caught out of the weekend.

I think that it was soem chicken that i was eating and wanted to see if anyone else had similar reactions.

I had eaten rotisserie chicken from Sobeys, and had also cooked some chicken thighs.

Has anyone ever had a reaction to whatever they coat the rotisserie chickens with?

Does anyone know if chicken thighs are ever injected to improve the taste or texture..

Thanks all

Nick (only sleeping 2hours a nite at the moment with the pain).. ;-)

Yes absolutely but also because they often cook the chickens with other stuff like pork etc. which itself may have gluten in and they tend to just keep basting with whatever fat runs off or the chickens are below the pork etc.

In Paris rotisserie chickens are very common, almost every butcher has a rotiserrie outside but I found out a secret .. some also sell pre-cooked to resto's and other places and have a top rotiserie where they have pre-sold chicks not contaminated (presumably the resto's insist for reasons of flavor or whatever) .. so if you convince them its a better bet.. but still risky IMHO

I've also found that if the poultry is not organic, clean meat, meaning raised without antibiotics and hormones, it makes me ill... I have to eat organic chicken or else I get very sick... Many of us are allergic to antibiotics and hormones and because chickens are such tiny animals, the meat is saturated with them... I had food poisoning like reactions to poulty for years and avoided it like the plague until I discovered clean meat... just a thought...

Commercial rotisserie chicken sometimes has wheat clearly listed. Did you check? Others times it's contaminated from other things that do have wheat. Under U.S. law, raw chicken that's "injected" with anything would have to clearly list it if it contains gluten. I've never found raw poultry with gluten.

Sobeys would have to list the ingredients on the chicken thighs packages if they were injected with anything. I know the rotisserie chickens at Costco have an ingredient list and I'm pretty sure Safeway does too, so I would assume that Sobeys has the same. Always read the ingredients.

I've been reacting to non-organic chicken again too. No more antibiotics or growth hormones for me, that I know of.
