Anyone Have Problem With Salmon, Other Fatty Fish?

Recommended Posts

I was wondering. Before I was diagnosed I had a real problem after I ate salmon, tuna or any fatty fish. Like really bad upper stomach aches that would double me over. I'm wondering if it was damage done from gluten. It started a few years ago and got worse and worse. Now I avoid all fatty fish, even though I love it and it is so good for you, because I am soooo scared of that pain. I'm afraid to try it now, after being gluten free.

Just wanted to see if anyone else had problems with fatty foods like that. I miss salmon.

Oh, and I eat haddock, shrimp, crab, lobster with no problem.

Thanks for any replys!!

I don't know how long you've been gluten-free, but after a while I'd try it again -- very small amount at first. Wait until you think you've really healed.

I am now gravitating toward fish. I find that heavy beef, steak, stews...don't seem to taste as good to me and maybe a little hard to digest.

And addition to this...My husband got a "Green-Egg" grill/smoker for Christmas. I do think that I am all smoked out. He's going crazy with smok'in everything. It was great in the beginning, but now.......bla. :blink:

I use a digestive enzyme (usually bromelain) with fatty meals. Lecithin can help emulsify fat too.

Are you reacting to fresh tuna and fresh salmon? Or are you eating the canned stuff. Most brands of canned tuna and salmon (and other canned fish) are not gluten-free...be sure to check with the manufacturer on the brand you are eating.

I had to learn this the hard way.

You might have a fish allergy (which is separate from a shellfish allergy). You should check with a allergist on this one, particularly as you said you experienced fairly severe symptoms.

I haven't personally checked canned salmon, but every single canned tuna I've ever checked has been gluten-free. The vegetable broth in it comes from vegetables. Bumble Bee, Chicken of the Sea, Star Kist, Kroger are all gluten-free. Check their web sites.

Many brands of canned fish that feature vegetable broth do not list the ingredients of the broth. Some of these vegetable broths can contain wheat starch in the flavouring (at least they can up here in Canada). Anyways, I think it is always worth a simple phone call.

      @Steve-n-Portland, there is a difference in the requirements to use the label "Gluten Free" and the label "Certified Gluten Free". "Gluten Free" is governed by FDA regulations and has a ceiling of 20 ppm. "Certified Gluten Free" is a labeling convention used by the GFCO, an independent international third party certifying group that uses 10 ppm as its standard.

      We have had numerous reports from forum participants experiencing gluten reactions from Trader Joe "gluten-free" products. It seems it's not a good place for the celiac/gluten sensitive community to shop.
    • Steve-n-Portland
      Also, a class action lawsuit was launched in 2024 against Trader Joe's re: their " gluten free" everything bagels. They tested at 269ppm. (Personally, I am not sure they will win. The FDA says that the *ingredients* have to be less than 20ppm for a company to label something "gluten-free."  In order to be certified as gluten-free by the GFCO, the *final product* needs to be less than 20ppm. That said, the lawsuit is arguing that most people read that label and assume the final product is safe for people with celiac. Thus, many people were made sick. And being sick can have costly consequences in regard to work or school, depending when one becomes ill.)

      Correction: My previous post refers to hickory products when I actually meant bakery products.
    • Steve-n-Portland
      Trader Joe's "gluten-free" hickory products are definitely not celiac safe. Their own website used to have a sidebar acknowledging this. Trader Joe's contracts out for their products, or obtains products elsewhere and puts their brand on it. Is Trader Joe's acknowledges, the facilities in which their products are made may change without notice, and ingredients or sources for ingredients may change without notice. Every time I tried Trader Joe's "gluten-free" muffins, breads, tortillas, etc, I had a reaction. The worst reactions were from the muffins (which are about 440 cals apiece, btw).
