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.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      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.

      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.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
