Has Anyone Had A Problem With Eating Turkey Meat?

My husband was recently diagnosed and has been gluten free since march of this year. He has always had a problem with milk, beef, turkey, and pork but since going gluten free he no longer gets sick with this food except the turkey. At first he thought it was the ground turkey we were eating so I changed to beef but I made roasted turkey breast and he still got sick. He gets severe gas and diarrhea. The brand is Jennie-O and from what I checked it is gluten-free but I could be wrong. Does anyone else has this problem???

Is the turkey breasted processed? Meaning is it nroated/prepared prior to puchase or contain ingredients other than Turkey? Some prepared meat contains seasoning or preservatives which can be difficult to tolerate --- it is not always gluten that is tough for the healing gut to process. Perhaps try baking a piece of plain turkey....while not as likely...there may simply be an intolerance of turkey.

Most or all Jenni  O turkey products are gluten free.  Maybe he just can't eat turkey?  Maybe its an ingredient you season it with?  Or always eat with it?

try getting some turkey straight from a local butcher if you can (no packages, processed stuff, etc) and see how he does on that. If he's fine, it might be contamination or processing in the turkey you usually have. If he's not, then he could just not be able to tolerate turkey. Or maybe it's taking him longer to get back.

 

Hope you can figure it out.

Could be the gut is still just healing and for whatever reason he can't eat it.  leave it for a couple of months then try again.

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.    
    • Scott Adams
      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
