Fresh Plain Chicken Breast

HI Everyone!


I just called Giant Eagle about their fresh Nature's Basket fresh chicken and all other chicken and they told me none of it is on their gluten free list. They said there is no gluten in it, but they couldn't guarantee CC.. Ugh.. I've been eating this for the last 6 years I've been gluten free and I could've swore I called them 6 years ago. I wonder if they changed something? I felt great for the last 5 years but I'm now still having gluten symptoms. And I've been eating it like crazy these last two months.. I'm starting think I may have found what's still glutening me for the last three months.

:wacko: 

I also called Perdue. They told me they would have to call me back to make sure, but all of the "Fresh- All Natural" are gluten free, but couldn't guarantee their "Tender and Tasty" chicken was gluten free since there is other ingredients in the chicken.



I called Tyson today too.. They said all their fresh chicken is gluten free, but they do add chicken broth to their chicken and that just makes me nervous. Seems like a lot of people on here had reactions.

 

 

*** Plus I always thought that all fresh meats were gluten free as long as they didn't have any added ingredients to them? Was I wrong about this?

 

 

 

Thanks everyone! :)

Fresh meat should be gluten free.  Many places won't call things gluten-free unless they test them.  That doesn't mean the meat is not gluten-free.

 

 

Edit - If I am remembering correctly - doesn't the US gluten-free food labeling law say something about not sticking gluten-free on foods that are normally gluten-free - like fresh fruit or fresh meat?

I've  heard  some  chicken processors  make a solution  brine  that  will keep  chicken  on the store shelf  fresher for a longer  period. Don't know  if it  is  a myth  or  true as we  only  eat  organic  farm chicken....I think Bell & Evans  for one  has  gluten-free  chicken fresh  or frozen.....

They often use salt water. That is allowed by law.  You can tell by reading the sodium content. All chicken has sodium but you can see the difference  between brands

I THINK (but I could be wrong) the labeling law applies to FDA regulated foods but not to USDA foods. Meats are under the jusidiction of the USDA.

 

I eat lots and lots of chicken. I buy Tyson chicken breasts with the bones still in it. Never had a problem.

 

The stores also sell big bags with boneless chicken breasts in them but they are full of chemical and other stuff. Besides, they shrink down to about half their size when cooked so they really are no bargain.

You are 100% correct.  USDA is NOT covered by labeling laws.

 

We've eaten it with no issues. GE is going through a HUGE thing with posting signs around the stores about allergies and stuff too. I believe there was an issue with some recalls recently (not gluten related) so they are in a CYA mode.

read the ingredient list. A lot of them will show a high liquid content or "packaged in broth". That alone should not make it unsafe but you may be reacting to one of the added ingredients, not any cross contaminatiuon. Organic, if you can, might be safe choice as the chicken themselves aren't being fed anything bad either.

      I'm concerned about calcium.  I don't think I'm getting enough especially since I ended up having to get off dairy when I went gluten free.  However, if you have too much calcium, it can deposit in the wrong places and you can get thinks like bone spurs.  I'd like find a decent supplement for that.  Was thinking of looking into the algae based calcium supplements since they're more natural than some of the others available, but seem rather expensive.  When possible, I try supplement with food sources.  One or two Brazil nuts usually have the full RDA for selenium.  One Barbados cherry has the daily RDA for vitamin C.  I also use seaweed to help supplement iodine since I don't use iodized salt.

      Wanted to tell someone, I finally made an edible gluten free bread.  It took me several hours to make and it didn't taste like what I was trying to make, but it did taste like a bread.  Was looking all over for bread machine recipes and I ran across this one on the Internet:  https://www.snapcalorie.com/recipes/gluten_free_oat_challah_bread_machine.html  Used it as a starting point, but I swapped out the tapioca with arrowroot and the xanthan gum with guar gum and glucomannan.  I also made it using the gluten-free pizza mode on my Panasonic bread machine and then took the batter out and put it in a bread mold to give it some shape.  I let it rise another 20 minutes and baked it at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes in the oven.

      The concept of "over-methylation" as a common clinical condition is not supported by mainstream medicine. While methylation is a crucial biochemical process, the idea that people frequently become "over-methylated" and that this is linked to B6 deficiency is a speculative theory, not an established fact.

      Oh cool! We have similar stories! I’m a microbiologist with an interest in metabolism. Been getting more and more fascinated by nutrition in recent years.    I will check out your blog . Thanks !

      Hi to all I am 4 years Celiac now. I have Ataxia too from gluten and it’s been a major learning curve and adjustment. But my query is about a recent set back. I was Glutened and started an OTC medicine to cope with a symptom. It stated it was free from gluten specifically. But in the following weeks I was getting more ill and couldn’t fathom what was wrong. I had gastritis which is awful and lots of other neuro and body symptoms that I get when Glutened. I always find it difficult to think straight too because of the brain fog and fatigue so this wasn’t helping me think logically. And then the lightbulb moment of the medication. I emailed the company in my gluten haze (by this time the symptoms were awful and reminded me of my pre gluten free days) and they responded saying although it states ‘this product does not contain gluten’ they could not guarantee it didn’t have gluten in it from manufacturing processes etc etc. I stopped it just over 2 weeks ago. I had been taking it for 6 weeks. So in the last few weeks I have started to improve from being bedridden with fatigue and aches/pains,  gastritis, abdominal pain and GI problems, brain fog, mental health symptoms, pins and needles, migraines and much more to just about functioning. I feel I have done so much damage to my body and it’s such a set back. But my question is has anyone else had a major episode like this and how long did it take to recover? I still have symptoms now and it’s been over 2 weeks. I’m afraid I have made my Ataxia worse and the panic attacks and anxiety are through the roof. I’d forgotten what that was like. But any thoughts or experiences would help. Thank you.
