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 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.

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule.

      Gluten Issues and Vitamin D

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease. Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too. is this everyone’s experience? Can I drink it?

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.
