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.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      If you were off gluten for two months that would have been long enough to invalidate the celiac blood antibody testing. Many people make the same mistake. They experiment with the gluten free diet before seeking formal testing. Once you remove gluten from the diet the antibodies stop being produced and those that are already in circulation begin to be removed and often drop below detectable levels. To pursue valid testing for celiac disease you would need to resume gluten consumption equivalent to the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for at least two weeks, preferably longer. These are the most recent guidelines for the "gluten challenge". Without formal testing there is no way to distinguish between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity since their symptoms overlap. However, celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the small bowel lining, not true of gluten sensitivity. There is no test available for gluten sensitivity so celiac disease must first be ruled out. By the way, elevated liver enzymes was what led to my celiac diagnosis almost 25 years ago.

      Then it does not seem to me that a gluten-related disorder is at the heart of your problems, unless that is, you have refractory celiac disease. But you did not answer my question about how long you had been eating gluten free before you had the blood antibody test for celiac disease done.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      My genetic test results have arrived - I’m homozygous for DQB1*02, meaning I have HLA-DQ2. I’ve read that this is one of the genes most strongly associated with celiac disease, and my symptoms are very clear. I’m relieved that the results finally arrived, as I was getting quite worried since my symptoms have been getting worse. Next step, blood test. What do these results imply? What should I tell my family? I’m concerned that this genetic predisposition might also affect other family members.

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.
