Gluten Free Deli Meat?

Hello does anyone know how I find out if Deli Meat is Gluten Free. I am going to be getting a list from a deli for Boars Head (i think they are out of Canada) they have all natural meats which I know doesnt mean anything in the gluten-free world. So what ingredients are a no no for deli meats? Does anyone know of a certain brand of deli meat that is gluten free? It is so hard to do this diet without some form of a quick cold cut for lunch. Any suggestions?

Also are canned meats like chicken breast, turkey breast, and tuna....gluten free?

Thanks

:)

Boars Head Products (800.352.6277) (www.boarshead.com) (vs=09/20/02)

MEATS: No cereals, fillers, artificial colors or flavors is used in manufacturing the meats. There are not vegetable gums or malts, wheat, rye, oats or barley used. For this reason almost all of our products should be compatible with a gluten-free diet. Note: As of January 2004 one meat product (Rotisico-unsure on spelling-Chicken has wheat).

CARAMEL COATINGS: Made from sugars and should pose no problems.

CHEESE: American; Blue Cheese Mozarella; Gold Label Swiss; Monterrey Jack; Monterrey Jack with Jalapenos; Gouda; Edam; Vermont Cheddar are gluten-free.

Hormel (Hormel) (800-523-4635) (www.hormel.com) (vw=03/28/04)

SHELF STABLE: Bacon Bits and Pieces, Chunk Meats (Breast of Chicken, Chicken, Ham, Turkey), Corned Beef, Dried Beef, Vienna sausage

MEATS: Beef Jerky (Regular, Low Fat ), Canadian Style Bacon, Fully Cooked Bacon, Fully-Cooked Entrées (Beef Roast Au Jus, Pork Roast Au Jus), Ham Patties, Microwave Bacon, Pepperoni, PILLOW PACK® (Pepperoni and Turkey Pepperoni), Smokies, Snack Size Meats and Cheese (Cooked Ham, Smoked Ham, Honey Ham, Summer Sausage, Smoked Turkey, Roasted Turkey, Hard Slami, Italian Dry Salami, Colby & Monterey Jack Cheese, Cheddar Cheese)

May contain distilled vinegar: Pickled Pigs Feet, Pickled Pork Hocks, Pickled Hot Sausages, Pickled Tidbits, Pickled Smoked Sausages

Oscar Mayer (Kraft) (Open Original Shared Link) (vw=2004).

Read the label. Wheat, oats, rye and barley will be listed on the label of Kraft products that contain these ingredients. They will not be hidden under words such as “natural flavors”, etc. Kraft considers distilled vinegar, no matter the source, gluten-free.

Here are a few things that I copied from the Delphia List. I highly suggest using that as it will help tremendously.

I am new too and this helped me. :D

Good luck! Jo Ann

If you are getting meats that must be sliced at the deli counter, be sure that they clean the slicer before they slice your meat. Otherwise you can get cross-contaminated.

I'm with Richard on the Hillshire Farms Meats, that is all that I purchase.

Thanks for reminding me. The manager at that deli seems really nice so I dont see a problem if they wipe it off. Plus I think all they sell is boars head which most are gluten free I think anyways but it doesnt hurt to check to see if they are selling some with gluten to be safe. :rolleyes:

I've worked in a deli and there is a real problem with wiping it off. I would just stick to packaged, to get a slicer clean you need to take it apart, there are guards that get bits stuck in them and the only way to get them clean is to dismantle and wash. Personally I would not trust something sliced on one. Theres lots of 'deli slice style' stuff thats risk free.

Well the only problem with pre packaged meat is it is not organic. I need to have meat that has no hormones as we are trying for a baby right now and I already have PCOS and regular meat is full of estrogens. If you can recommend a prepackaged meat without hormones and organic I could do that. I was also thinking if the wiped it down some I could always go home and rinse it off good too.

I am not Celiac but gluten intolerant so a crumb wont kill me. Plus I think this deli ony sells Boars Head and there meats and cheeses are mostly if not all gluten free already. I will consider this possiblity too.

this is so hard and confusing my nerves are shot. I am starting to think there is nothing to eat between the low carb, gluten free, and all the stuff I have to do to follow this correctly.. :angry: All this started because hubby and I want kids.. :unsure:

I spoke with Boar's head on the phone and the woman told me that the "loafs" olive loaf, pimento loaf, etc are not gluten-free becase of the vinegar, and there was one cheese, a weird cheese that I would never eat so I forgot the name.

I got a phone call back from Boar's Head and was told that ALL Boar's Head products, including their pickles, are GLUTEN FREE as of October 27, 2005. The few items that they used to tell Celiacs to stay away from are now GLUTEN FREE. They have NO products with gluten. That's good. But don't they still have nitrates???? Anyway, Boar's Head is 100% gluten free as of Oct. 27th.

Are all Carl Buddig and Hillshire Farm prepackaged meats gluten-free? Is it written on the package? I am looking for some sliced ham to eat.

Thanks,

Applegate Farms are Hormone Free and Antibiotic and Nitrite/Nitrate free, they sell them at Whole Foods and you can buy them in the deli OR pre packaged in safe little gluten free packages. That's the way I get it. I can't have any of the non organic meats either, so this is the only way I can have my lunchmeats.

Another site you might want to visit is kraftkitchens.com - click on Health & Wellness and then Gluten Free Products. There will be another list of mainstream gluten-free items along with some yummy looking recipes. You might be able to find some quick lunch ideas here.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash...

It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash vegetables. I noticed my stools were suddenly formed, if a bit narrow. I knew then that the diarrhea was probably food related not medication related. I tried following the fodmap diet but honestly it was just too complicated, I just lived with pooping 8x a day and wondering how I'd ever get and keep a job once my children were in school.  This past December I got my yearly bloodwork and my triglycerides were high. I looked into Dr. William Davis (wheat belly author) and he recommended going off wheat and other grains. This is the first time in my life I was reading labels to make sure there was no wheat. Within 2 weeks, not only were my stools formed and firm but I was only pooping twice a day, beautiful formed Bristol #4.  Dr. Davis allows some legumes, so I went ahead and added red lentils and beans. Nervous that the diarrhea would come back if I had IBS-D. Not only did it not come back, it just made my stools even bigger and beautiful. Still formed just with a lot more width and bulk. I've also been eating a lot of plant food like tofu, mushrooms, bell peppers, hummus etc which I thought was the cause of my diarrhea before and still, my stools are formed. In January I ran a genetics test because I knew you had to have the genes for celiac. The report came back with  DQ 2.2 plus other markers that I guess are necessary in order for it to be possible to have celiac. Apparently DQ 2.2 is the "rarer" kind but based on my report it's genetically possible for me to have celiac.  I know the next step is to bring gluten back so I can get testing but I am just not wanting to do that. After suffering with diarrhea for years I can't bring myself to do it right now. So that is where I am!
