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.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      @Scott Adams That's actually exactly what I ended up asking for— vodka tonic with Titos.  I saw on their website that Tito's is certified gluten-free (maybe many of the clear vodkas are, I don't know, I just happened to look up Tito's in advance). I should have actually specified the 'splash' though, because I think with the amount of tonic she put in there, it did still end up fairly sweet.  Anyway, I think I've almost got this drink order down!

      Be interesting to see the effects of dairy reintroduction with gluten. As well as milk protein sensitivity in and of itself the casein part particularly has been shown to mimic gluten in about 50% of celiacs. Keep us posted!

      She has been dairy free for six years, so she’d already been dairy free for two years at her last testing and was dairy free for the entire gluten challenge this year as well (that had positive results). However, now that we’re doing another biopsy in six weeks, we decided to do everything we can to try to “see” the effects, so we decided this past week to add back in dairy temporarily for breakfast (milk and cereal combo like you said).

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Gigi2025 · Posted

      Hi Christiana, Many thanks for your response.  Interestingly, I too cannot eat wheat in France without feeling effects (much less than in the US, but won't indulge nonetheless).  I also understand children are screened for celiac in Italy prior to starting their education. Wise idea as it seems my grandson has the beginning symptoms (several celiacs in his dad's family), but parents continue to think he's just being difficult.  Argh.  There's a test I took that diagnosed gluten sensitivity in 2014 via Entero Labs, and am planning on having done again.  Truth be told, I'm hoping it's the bromine/additives/preservatives as I miss breads and pastas terribly when home here in the states!  Be well and here's to our guts healing ❤️

      Lol that’s so true! Hope you get clarity, it’s tough when there’s doubt. There’s so much known about celiac disease with all the scientific research that’s been done so far yet practically and clinically there’s also so much unknown, still. Out of curiosity what’s her dairy consumption like? Even compared to early years to now? Has that changed? Calcium is dependent in the mechanism of antigen presenting cells in the gut. High calcium foods with gluten grains can initiate inflammation greater.  This is why breakfast cereals and milk combo long term can be a ticking time bomb for genetically susceptible celiacs (not a scientific statement by any means but my current personal opinion based on reasoning at present). Milk and wheat are the top culprits for food sensitivity. Especially in childhood. There are also patient cases of antibodies normalising in celiac children who had milk protein intolerance/ delayed type allergy. Some asymptomatic. There were a couple of cases of suspected celiacs that turned out to have milk protein intolerance that normalised antibodies on a gluten containing diet. Then there were others that only normalised antibodies once gluten and milk was eliminated. Milk kept the antibodies positive. Celiac disease is complicated to say the least.
