Canned chicken ingredients causing issues

Hi everyone, just wanted to pick your brain about the following ingredients...

cooked chicken breast with rib meat, water, contains less than 2% of the following: modified food starch, salt, sodium phosphates.

I have ate two cans of the Brookdale's canned chicken and the first time I thought perhaps was something else, but today I experience symptoms again and I am wondering if perhaps is the modified food starch thing? I know it does not say Gluten free but I I thought perhaps it was ok to have these type of fast chicken serving...

Anyhow, I will stop having it but want to understand the reason, thank you much! 🖖

Those ingredients are gluten-free. These lists might be helpful:

As a celiac who can't even handle the smallest traces of gluten I avoid everything with modified starch unless it's specified it's made from corn, tapioca or rice. I've even reacted to maltitol with 0,002% gluten.
You don't know what that starch is made from. They can modify it any way they want, but if it's a couple of molecules left you might react to it if you're like me. Glucose syrup, maltodextrin and dextrose are other sneaky ingredients.

I just want to point out that the ingredients you mentioned, if made in the USA, would be gluten-free, including maltitol, which is made from corn. I am not sure how maltitol could test positive for gluten, and I would not call any of these ingredients "sneaky," as they are gluten-free.

Well... Decided to give it a try once again a few hours ago, this time without anything else, just the chicken to see if perhaps was some other ingredient and got same painful results... Evil chicken! 😄

You're lucky in the US. Here, dextrose and all those ingredients can be made from anything. I've seen labels with "(wheat)" written after those those ingredients. Some doesn't mention anything. If all of those ingredients are all made from corn in the US, it makes it a lot easier.

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
