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.

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this.

In fact, he said to me that because I found relief using Gaviscon that was a very clear indicator that reflux was the cause of that particular issue. A wedge...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired. I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years, I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways. I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux. Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following...

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.
