Chicken

Does anybody know if any chicken breast from the grocery store is gluten free? I feel like most of the times I eat chicken I feel pretty sick. I'm pretty sure I'm not allergic to chicken but it's hard to tell because i basically feel 10% sick everyday of my life. Could they be soaking the chicken in some kind of glutinous broth? Does anybody else here eat chicken breast and if not what do you eat because I so little options to eat that I'm sure are gluten free that I am losing weight by the day. Please help anyone.

I eat plain chicken breast and other meats.

I get sick if I eat chicken that has "natural flavorings" on the ingredient list.  It is something added to chicken and beef and other supposedly fresh meats as a flavor enhancer.  I have suspicions that it is something akin to monosodium glutimate (msg) which is made from wheat.  

There are brands of fresh chicken and other meats that don't have added flavorings. Reading the label is a must, even in the meat department.

Me too, I eat lots of chicken, like Fosters, Tyson and other store brands.  

When you are first diagnosed, you can have many temporary food intolerances.  Heck, even eating regular food can be hard to digest.  Stick with whole foods that are well-cooked and easy to digest for a few weeks. 

How long have you been gluten free?

No, MSG might not agree with you, but it is safe for celiacs. The site is acting up and I can not paste.  Just google "FDA and MSG gluten".

Yes, MSG may be produced by wheat free methods now and therefore may be safe for Celiacs.  

However, MSG does stimulate the digestive tract. Perhaps it is this aspect of MSG that some Celiacs find intolerable.

Ditto for natural flavorings. They are safe for a Celiac to consume.

No need to be rude. I just answered your question.

I came on to approve your topic and I didn't have much time so I gave a basic answer.  I knew others would fill in more info for you.

There are hundreds of thousands of things you can eat that are gluten free. There are more things you CAN eat than cannot. Just because it doesn't say gluten free right on the front of the package doesn't mean you cannot eat it. Read the label. If it contains wheat it is a law that they must write may contain wheat. The other things that we cannot have are pretty easy to point out as well. I saw a nutritionist and he gave me a huge packet that has been very helpful. If you wish I can send you some of the information on what you can and cannot have and alternatives for the things we love but cannot eat.

      Other symptoms that Celiac Disease can cause but resemble other diseases so the cause may be misdiagnosed. What Are the Symptoms of Celiac Disease?

      Hernia symptoms after gluten exposure

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi there @MCAyr I have a small umbilical hernia which came about during my second pregnancy.   I can just about see it, and feel it, when I stand or sit, but it is far less noticeable when I lie down.  I always know when I am putting on weight because I can get pain and burning near the site, funnily enough not on the hernia itself but either side!  I would imagine bloating could cause the same effect as weight gain. In my case I don't think it is my bowel protruding but a bit of fat  - sorry,  I realise this isn't painting a very pretty picture.  But in truth it is scarcely noticeable.  It has never really got bigger in size. I was rather hoping that it could be operated on but here in the UK they don't seem to operate on every hernia anymore.  My GP isn't remotely worried about it. In a way, I should be thankful - it is like an early warning system that I need to go on a diet! Cristiana

      The hernia description would likely be unrelated to celiac disease, but you'd need to get it checked out by your doctor to be sure it's a hernia.
