I am trying to post the following question and cannot figure out how to doe it. Please help:

Are Trader Joe's Brined Organic Whole Chickens gluten free? I got sick after eating some but am not sure it was due to gluten. The store was not sure and customer service has not gotten back to me.

You just posted a question! You should have put it in the product section... But it works the same way. I'll move it over there.

When you are new, your first few posts have to wait for a mod to read and approve them.

I'll try to get Admin to change the title to reflect your question.

Now, I'm going to answer your question. :)

I don't know about TJ's chicken but I am betting, if they are uncooked, they will be gluten-free or have no gluten ingredients.... Just from past experience.

I changed the title, but have no information on TJ's birds. As Karen said, they are unlikely to be a problem.

Thank-you. I wonder why it made me sick...hmmmm. Maybe msg in the natural flavor. I tested a bit of it again today to see if that was it and I got sick again. Frustrating....Oh well, I will do a plain one next time! Thanks again.

Do you have Crockpot? You can cook a turkey breast in it and it's delicious! Also, Costco has rotisserie type turkey breasts that's are gluten-free and delicious ( I have been told). I have some family members with sodium issues so I usually start as fresh and unprocessed as possible.

I  can't  answer  your  question  about TJ"s  chicken  but  the  word "Brined"" stuck out  to me... Again  I  don't  know  their  brining solution  but  I do  know  when some  people  "brine" meats  they  add  in  beer, &  such...  I  would  doubt  that  would  be a factor  a  Trader Joe's  but  the brining  solution  could  contain a gluten product.....

I don't  know  if  their  rotisserie chickens are  even  safe.. Costco's  is  &  Sam's  is  ... Costco   is  our  favorite....

YesI  I got sick from that chicken too!  I made bone broth with it and got sick when I ate it for lunch (I drink bone broth just about everyday but usually get my chicken from Whole Foods) and I never suspected it to be the broth (had pieces of the chicken with the broth) so I ate it again with dinner and got even sicker.  I was absolutely fine before eating it and it since then it has triggered my colitis and I have been in a full blown flare for three weeks.  It only takes a slight trigger and the whole system goes crazy.  I also asked about it at Trader Joe's after the fact and they said "we don't know - better not buy it if you are worried", I wish I would have asked before hand.

      I'm not delaying my recovery- I was well on my way to recovering, IF I do have celiac disease by listening to my body and not eating the foods that made me feel ill. the drug I just stopped taking was making me incredibly ill and it's unfortunate and more than  a little frustrating that the dr

      Click on the image to make it larger.  Maybe doesn't work on phone browser,  That was from 2021. Absolutely, they should be tested, The point is you have symptoms that the doctors don't understand and malabsorption may be the cause.   Not trying to.  But much of your rant includes refeferences that may indicate multiple nutritional deficiencies.     Some countries also have tax incentives and financial aid for Celiacs.   Celiac disease is recognized as a disability under the ADA because it substantially limits major life activities like eating and digestive function. Protections require reasonable accommodations in public accommodations, including schools (504 plans), colleges, and hospitals. These often include providing safe, gluten-free food, though they do not force restaurants to provide it.  As far as your recovery, eat gluten free.  Get healthier now and worry about diagnosis later.  Many here on the forum have gone ten or more years looking for a diagnosis, with many doctors and many misdiagnosis along the way. It really doesn't matter why, but you cannot eat  gluten.  That is what is important.  With gluten out of the way, maybe the doctors can make sense of your remaining symptoms.  If you need the ADA, then a medical diagnosis is the way to go.  Meantime you are delaying your recovery from whichever celiac disease or NCGS and the inevitable step one of Gluten Free Diet. tWe come to share experiences and maybe it will help someone. In reality, I don't care.  By the way I have stopped 6 medications Against Medical Advice because they did not do their job and the side effects were crippling. This is a lifelong fight for your life.  Pick you battles carefully.  Assume the worst, celiac disease, and deal with it.  Denial is not just a river in Egypt. Pleased to meet you, too.

      fortunately you don't need to understand anything that doesn't directly affect you.  🤗 you earlier assumed I was deficient in nutrients and minerals due to celiac malabsorption but...... now it doesn't matter? because why? it might mess up your deficiency argument?  if you don't know the difference between having actual celiac disease and NCGS....!!!! correct me if I'm wrong but actual celiac disease causes actual physical damage to your body and increases your risk of certain cancers... just as a start. I have an identical twin sister- IF I have celiac disease, chances are she may too. I have a daughter and other first degree relatives... you also get ADA protections with an actual celiac diagnosis.  but again, not your decision to make  nor to understand. but to suggest that there is no valid reason to find out for sure is incomprehensible on a board dedicated to celiac disease. if you ask me but you didn't so- nevermind.   don't worry though, another member has declared that in her expert opinion based on who knows what- that I don't have celiac!!!  but instead I am "full of beans" and probably killing myself for eating such scary things, I don't know.   if you think you can diagnose me off one single biomarker and a hunch of some sort...based on your history and some research study that you think is relevant- um, well, Glad to meet you, Dr McCoy aka Bones. 🫠 I did not know this was a place where strangers want to play doctor  I am hoping to hear from other members who are not so quick to make judgements and... stuff, let's just leave it at that... perhaps there aren't any.  time will tell I guess
