Hi, I am a newbie and new to the gluten free world. From what I've read here I know fresh fruits and veggies are good. So what packaged luncheon meats are are gluten-free?

 

Thanks in advance.  :)

I buy fresh meat and bake or cook it in the crock pot with some salt and a quart of water.  One can get more flavor by browning the meat, but I tried to keep it simple.  Pork and Beef roast work good for use as sandwich meat.

Most lunch meats are gluten-free. Read the ingredients. I have gotten many brands, some not labelled gluten-free but they have no gluten in the ingredients.

These are 3 I know say gluten-free on the package

Boars head - you can get it in packages. Hormel Natural Choice says gluten-free on it. Applegate ( kind of pricey).

Welcome!  I like hormel natural choice, very reasonably priced at my store.  Applegate is good, too, but I only buy it on sale.  My local grocery store labels their lunchmeats as gluten free.  I like boars head but my regular store doesn't sell their products.

 

Tammy, something that helped me out immensely when I first started a gluten-free diet was a grocery shopping guide.  Its a little book that can fit in your purse, and you look up a category and it lists what is gluten-free.  The one I use is the Cecelias marketplace one :  Open Original Shared Link

 

The other thing I did that helped a lot was look at what I usually eat, and create a meal plan and shopping list for those things.  Planning meals helps you be able to research what you are doing to buy in advance, make a list, and not spend hours in the grocery store on your smartphone trying to figure out if something is gluten-free or not.

If you use an app, guide, or even advice give here ~ you still need to READ THE LABEL everytime. 

 

Cocco Puffs cereal kept changing the recipe or releasing old stock of cereal with new.  It was just a nightmare, every other box changed from gluten free to gluten.  That was 4 or 5 years ago.  I've been gluten free for about 10 years.  I still bought yeast packets during the holidays that had extra gluten added to the product.  I had a coupon, was in a hurry, and had never seen gluten in yeast before: but I Should have read the label.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      A lot to think about here. Does anyone have any recommendations for third party laboratories that will do full panel celiac screens private pay in the U.S.?
