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.

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
