Lunch Meats

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.

      Hi @KathyR37 and a very warm welcome here. I am so very sorry that you are going through all of this. I just wanted to check, have you ever been tested for any other gastrointestinal conditions? Cristiana

      @KathyR37, I would suspect that in addition to gluten intolerance, you have other food intolerances/sensitivities. This is very common in the celiac community. The most common offenders are oats, dairy, soy, corn and eggs with dairy and oats being the big two. Have you considered this? Have you tried keeping a food diary to detect patterns?

      thank you for your advice. I have always taken them and I use Stonehedge because they are in a glass bottle, but don't have to be refrigerated. I also like they are 3rd party tested and state gluten free. But you never know if something better has come alone over the years.

      Thank you for your response. I have already learned about the info you sent but i appreciate your effort. I am the only one in my family cursed by this disease. I have to cook for them too. I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem...

I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and  gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem I have is a gag reflex out of this world and if something doesn't taste good it is not going down. Most commercially made breads and such taste like old cardboard.Pastas are about the same. I did find one flour that I like and use it regularly, but it is so expensive! All gluten free food is way more expensive. I only eat twice a day because I cannot afford to buy all that. We live on a very low income so my food purchases are quite limited.

      What you've described—the severe weight loss, the cycle of medications making things worse, and the profound fear of eating before leaving the house—is a heavy burden to carry for 15 years. It is absolutely not your fault. While everyone's journey with celiac is different, the struggles with the learning curve, social isolation, and dietary grief are feelings many in the community know all too well. Your question about whether you should just eat what you want and manage the symptoms is a heartbreaking one, born from years of frustration. It's crucial to know that the diarrhea is a sign of ongoing damage to your small intestine from gluten, and simply managing the symptom with Imodium doesn't stop that internal harm or the risk of other complications. The fact that you are still getting sick within an hour of eating, even while trying to be gluten-free, is a huge red flag that something isn't right. This could be due to cross-contamination in your kitchen (e.g., using a shared toaster, colander, or condiment jars), hidden gluten in foods, or the possibility of another concurrent condition like refractory celiac disease. Don't give up!  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
