Chicken

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

      Welcome to the forum, @McKinleyWY, For a genetic test, you don't have to eat gluten, but this will only show if you have the genes necessary for the development of Celiac disease.  It will not show if you have active Celiac disease.   Eating gluten stimulates the production of antibodies against gluten which mistakenly attack our own bodies.  The antibodies are produced in the small intestines.  Three grams of gluten are enough to make you feel sick and ramp up anti-gluten antibody production and inflammation for two years afterwards.  However, TEN grams of gluten or more per day for two weeks is required to stimulate anti-gluten antibodies' production enough so that the anti-gluten antibodies move out of the intestines and into the bloodstream where they can be measured in blood tests.  This level of anti-gluten antibodies also causes measurable damage to the lining of the intestines as seen on biopsy samples taken during an endoscopy (the "gold standard" of Celiac diagnosis).   Since you have been experimenting with whole wheat bread in the past year or so, possibly getting cross contaminated in a mixed household, and your immune system is still so sensitized to gluten consumption, you may want to go ahead with the gluten challenge.   It can take two years absolutely gluten free for the immune system to quit reacting to gluten exposure.   Avoiding gluten most if the time, but then experimenting with whole wheat bread is a great way to keep your body in a state of inflammation and illness.  A diagnosis would help you stop playing Russian roulette with your and your children's health.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @McKinleyWY! There currently is no testing for celiac disease that does not require you to have been consuming generous amounts of gluten (at least 10g daily, about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks and, to be certain of accurate testing, longer than that. This applies to both phases of testing, the blood antibody tests and the endoscopy with biopsy.  There is the option of genetic testing to see if you have one or both of the two genes known to provide the potential to develop celiac disease. It is not really a diagnostic measure, however, as 30-40% of the general population has one or both of these genes whereas only about 1% of the general population actually develops celiac disease. But genetic testing is valuable as a rule out measure. If you don't have either of the genes, it is highly unlikely that you can have celiac disease. Having said all that, even if you don't have celiac disease you can have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms as celiac disease but does not involve and autoimmune reaction that damages the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. Both conditions call for the complete elimination of gluten from the diet. I hope this brings some clarity to your questions.

      Hello all, I was diagnosed at the age of 2 as being allergic to yeast.  All my life I have avoided bread and most products containing enriched flour as they  contain yeast (when making the man made vitamins to add back in to the flour).  Within the last year or so, we discovered that even whole wheat products bother me but strangely enough I can eat gluten free bread with yeast and have no reactions.  Obviously, we have come to believe the issue is gluten not yeast.  Times continues to reinforce this as we are transitioning to a gluten free home and family.  I become quite ill when I consume even the smallest amount of gluten. How will my not having consumed breads/yeast/gluten for the better part of decades impact a biopsy or blood work?  I would love to know if it is a gluten intolerance or a genetic issue for family members but unsure of the results given my history of limited gluten intake.   I appreciate the input from those who have gone before me in experience and knowledge. Thank you all!

      I know what you mean. When I get glutened I have severe gut cramps and throw up for 2-3 hr. and then have diarrhea for another several hours. Avoid eating out if at all possible. It is the number one source of gluten contamination for us celiacs. When you are forced to eat out at a new restaurant that you are not sure is safe, try to order things that you can be sure will not get cross contaminated like a boiled egg, baked potatos, steamed vegies, fresh fruit. Yes, I know that doesn't sound as appetizing as pizza or a burger and fries but your health is at stake. I also realize that as a 14 year old you don't have a lot of control over where you eat out because you are tagging along with others or adults are paying for it. Do you have support from your parents concerning your need to eat gluten free? Do you believe they have a good understanding of the many places gluten can show up in the food supply?
