I know this has been discussed before, but i have some additional questions.

 

Apple gate meats look good, the one that looks the best to me is the roast beef. Has anyone tried it?

 

Is boars head meats behind the deli counter only?

 

I'm looking for something that is not only gluten free, but also free of colorings and other added preservatives.

Applegate ham is yummy.  We haven't tried any other " flavor".   I get Boarshead in packages from the company.  Its next to the Deli counter in my store.

 

What about Hormel Natural Choice?  I can get it at Target and Walmart and its about half the cost of the Applegate.  I haven't had the roast beef because I'm a big roast beef person.  But I know my son and husband have had it and it was OK.

we do natural choice too, it's just cheaper. I've only tried Applegate turkey for the lunch meat but love their bacon and breakfast sausage yum!

Looks like the hormel products have a larger line than the applegate. I may actually do those instead.

boars head has packaged stuff - at kroger and publix - also sliced at the deli counter.  the ovengold turkey on udi's white bread is still one of my 'go-to's when i get glutened.  (just had one....)  <_<:o

I am a big fan of Applegate Farms because I can't do all the additives.

Boar's Head is the hub's fave.

I like some of their products but have to watch the MSG-ish stuff.

I like the Applegate Natural Roasted Turkey that I get in a family sized pack at Whole Foods.  Haven't had their brand of roast beef, but I have had the Hormel one, and it was pretty good.  It still weirds me out that some roast beef shimmers like it's part of an oil slick  :wacko:

I don't think I've ever seen Boar's Head in packages, but I've never let that stop me from getting it. There are two local delis here that sell it. One sells only Boar's Head meats and cheeses so there is no risk of CC from whatever else is there. The other does sell some other stuff that I'm not the least bit interested in knowing more about. (The first package listed some wonky ingredients, I was done.) I either go there first thing in the morning and am waiting as the deli opens, or I make them clean the slicer for me. How inconvenient that is for them is not really on my list of craps I give. Of course, they never know that. I always smile sweetly and am super polite and they're always more than happy to help me.

 

Mostly I've given up on the second deli though since they stopped selling Lebanon bologna. Jerks. Now I have to drive clear across the city if I want a bologna sandwich.

      Probably celiac but also confused

      By terrymouse · Posted

      I have an endoscopy booked for mid-September to test for Celiac. My gp seems convinced it is celiac and I should eliminate gluten right away, but the gastroenterologist I was referred to says if I'm totally gluten-free then they won't be able to detect celiac from the endoscopy, and I should load up on gluten 2 weeks before the test. So I guess I shouldn't eliminate gluten then? Or stop and start again closer to the appointment date. But I'm also on the wait list in case they can get me in sooner, because I'm losing weight. I don't want to have to go back and do it over again if I can help it. They also were unsure if there isn't something else wrong with my stomach, so that's a possibility. I don't have the details but from what I understood my blood tests results were positive but on the low end. So I'm getting mixed up here, do I go gluten-free or not? Would 2.5 months of being gluten-free make any noticable difference?

      Refractory Celiac disease - what to do

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Being low in B12, Folate B9, ferritin, zinc and copper sounds consistent with anemia which can often occur with Celiac.  What did your doctor recommend? What about your Vitamin D?  It helps regulate the immune system.

      Refractory Celiac disease - what to do

      By ehb · Posted

      @knitty kitty thank you I am exploring these options, I really appreciate all the suggestions and info. I am only slightly below the normal range for folate, zinc and copper. And in the low end of the normal range for B12, ferritin, and vitamin A. I’m good for carotene magnesium and iron, but I’ve been taking 400 mg magnesium daily

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      By Alibu · Posted

      I just had my endoscopy the other day and the doctor took 12 samples because he said if we're going to find something we're going to find it today LOL. But when he got down there, he said everything looked good. So I have it in my head again that it's going to be negative because everyone I've heard of who had a positive biopsy had their endoscopies where the doctor was like yep, I can see the damage. My tissues all look great apparently. So if they come back negative, I'm not sure where to go from here. Could it still be a non-celiac gluten sensitivity even with my blood work? I thought NCGS didn't show up on blood tests. Is it possible that the biopsy still comes back positive even if everything looked healthy on endoscope? I had it done at a big hospital in the state, so I would think they'd have the kind of equipment where they'd be able to see it well. I even have pictures in my report and they don't seem to have the damage that others have seen.

      Virus, celiac disease or both?

      By trents · Posted

      That's just it. When they are doing an EGD, even with biopsy, if they aren't thinking about celiac disease they may miss it. They should take several samples from both the duodenum and the duodenum bulb. Damage can be patchy and easily missed if sampling isn't through. And patch damage may explain lack of dramatic symptoms. Let me assure you that we frequently have posters on this forum who were silent celiacs for years and were diagnosed incidentally with celiac disease when their docs were checking for other things. They developed other medical problems such as anemia or vitamin and mineral deficiencies, neurological deficits, Hashimodo's thyroid, osteoporois, etc. - non GI symptoms - but their docs recognized those problems as often connected to celiac disease and had them checked for celiac disease, both blood antibody testing and biopsy, and found damage. A couple of years ago the Mayo Clinic did a large study involving over 300 people. They started with those officially diagnosed with celiac disease and also tested their first degree relatives. They found that almost 50% of  the first degree relatives tested positive for celiac disease and many or most were totally caught by surprise because they were largely asymptomatic. Their diagnosis was confirmed by biopsy. I really don't have anything more to say. You have some decisions to make.
