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.

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

      By Alibu · Posted

      I was tested back in 2017 and my TTG-IGA was mildly elevated (an 11 with reference range <4) but my EMA was negative and biopsy was negative. Fast forward to 2 weeks ago where I was like y'know what, I still have so many symptoms and I'm always so sick, I should repeat this, thinking it was not going to be positive.  I also found out through 23 and me that I do have the HLA-DQ2.5 gene so I thought it would be good to repeat given my ongoing symptoms. Well my blood work came back with a ttg-iga level of 152.6 with a reference range of <15 and my EMA was positive and EMA titer was 1:10 with reference range of <1:5. I guess I'm nervous that I'm going to do the biopsy and it's going to be negative again, especially since I also had an endoscopy in 2020, not to look for celiac but just as a regular 5 year thing I do because of all my GI issues, and they didn't see anything then either. I have no idea how long the EMA has been positive but I'm wondering if it's very recent, if the biopsy will show damage and if so, if they'll say well the biopsy is the gold standard so it's not celiac? I of course am doing all the things to convince myself that it isn't real. Do a lot of people go through this? I think because back in 2017 my ttg-iga was elevated but not a huge amount and my EMA was negative and my biopsy was negative, I keep thinking this time it's going to be different. But this time my ttg-iga is 152.6 with reference range <15, and my EMA was positive. BUT, my titer is only 1:10 and I keep reading how most people here had a ttg-iga in the hundreds or thousands, and the EMA titer was much higher. So now I am convinced that it was a false positive and when they do the biopsy it'll be negative.

      Welcome to the forum, @linnylou73! Are you claiming this based on a reaction or based upon actual testing?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This varies a lot from person to person. I include foods that are not certified gluten-free but are labelled "gluten-free", while super sensitive people only use certified gluten-free. Both types of products have been found to contain gluten, so there are no guarantees either way: It you are in the super sensitive group, eating a whole foods based diet where you prepare everything is the safest bet, but it's also difficult. Eating out is the the most risky, even if a restaurant has a gluten-free menu. I also include items that are naturally gluten-free, for example refried beans, tuna, pasta sauces, salsas, etc., which have a low overall risk of contamination.
