I'm making this post topic again because although I was reassured by you guys I still seem to get sick every time i buy chicken. I try to get organic but I have heard that a lot of chicken can be 15% chicken broth that contains gluten. Does anyone else on here eat different brands of chicken breast and not get sick?

You have your solution -- do not buy chicken!!!!   I think you should consider consulting an allergist.  You may have a chicken or poultry allergy or intolerance.  

I have never seen chicken in the grocery store that is either whole or cut in pieces that contains gluten and is packaged by the chicken factory (or whatever you call it).  I personally do not buy chicken in the meat case because they often have next to "stuffed or marinated" chicken and cross contamination could be an issue.  Chicken does not make me sick.  It does not trigger a celiac flare-up for me.  

Does organic chicken make you sick? If not, consider raising your own chickens.  My neighbors do.  Then you can be assured that your chicken does not contain additives.  

here are more suggestions and comments from when you last asked about chicken:

I think gluten in chicken broth is some sort of Internet myth.  Some chicken is injected with water and salt.  I try to only buy the chicken that isn't because we don't need that salt.  Usually I get the kind our grocery has behind the counter that isn't injected with anything.

Here is a link to an explanation from the USDA as to what is allowed in chicken.  If injected with a solution they must state the ingredients on the label.

You likely are not being glutenned because of chicken. However you could have an allergy or such to chicken. You should know that people with gluten issues likely have other allergies and intolerance issues. I gluten-free, but also lactose intolerant, allergies to nuts, and I've never been able to eat pork because it also makes me sick. I'd assume that a pork allergy being possible means the same for chicken.

You can buy no broth added chicken brest meat.  Perdue and Tysons do not inject it.  I discovered this while trying to reduce sodium consumption.  As for allergy my friend is allergic to chicken and turkey.  She will not buy lunchmeat at the deli unless she sees them clean the slicer!

i feel sick after eating chicken but im pretty sure that's because i tried to eating it after 7 years of being vegetarian not because of celiac disease. i mean if you know its making you feel sick then don't eat it

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
