Lunchmeat

Hello. I was wondering if anyone knew of brands of gluten-free lunchmeat? I have or thought I have been gluten-free for over a year, but after reading some messages I have found that I have been eating gluten. I eat lunchmeat and cheese about everyday for lunch. I would like to be sure on the gluten-free brands.

thanks!

Lots of lunch meats are gluten-free. With Oscar Meyer all you have to do is read the ingredients. Any gluten would be listed. Hillshire Farms and Carl Buddig are gluten-free. Most Sara Lee but not all (although the prepackaged ones might all be gluten-free). I think that all Boarshead lunch meats are gluten-free now.

Generally speaking my experience has been that if a lunch meat has gluten, it will be listed and that prepackaged lunch meats are all or virtually all gluten-free. One warning -- if you're having the meat sliced at a counter, you need to ask them to clean the slicer or use a clean one.

All prepackaged Sara Lee meats are gluten-free. Also-Hillshire as Richard mentioned. Hillshire Deli Selects are my favorite--in the red gladware tub.

Hormel has come out with a line of all natural gluten free and marked as such, lunch meats. Just look for the brown package, and their pepperoni has been labeled gluten-free for as long as I have been looking. I know most lunch meats are supposed to be safe but I would rather not have to call a company, and I do even if it appears okay- been got too many times. Plus they need to label clearly and I will continue to call and check on safety of anything not labeled gluten-free until all companies put it on their label.

If you live in Canada, Feybe's is gluten free and says so right on the label :D

I just went into a whole foods market today and they had lunch meat with a gluten free label right on the front of the package! I don't remember the brand name though. Just thought that you may want to check out whole foods markets because they may carry gluten-free lunch meats. The name of the store I was in is Amaranth Whole Foods Market.

Freybe is also casein free. It says lactose free on the label, but I confirmed with their website and they do not add any dairy.

Does anyone know if Wilson Hard Salami is gluten-free? I can't seem to get an answer if it is or not. I love eating cream cheese on a slice and then sandwiching another slice on top of that!! YUMMY!!

      I followed the Autoimmune Protocol Diet which is really strict for a while, but later other foods can be added back into your diet.  Following the AIP diet strictly allows you digestive system to heal and the inflammation to calm down.  Sort of like feeding a sick baby easy to digest food instead of spicy pizza.   It's important to get the inflammation down because chronic inflammation leads to other health problems.  Histamine is released as part of the autoimmune response to gluten.  High histamine levels make you feel bad and can cause breathing problems (worsening asthma), cardiovascular problems (tachycardia), and other autoimmune diseases (Hashimoto's thyroiditis, diabetes) and even mental health problems. Following the low histamine version of the AIP diet allows the body to clear the histamine from our bodies.  Some foods are high in histamine.  Avoiding these makes it easier for our bodies to clear the histamine released after a gluten exposure.   Vitamin D helps regulate the immune system and calm it down.  Vitamin D is frequently low in Celiacs.  The B Complex vitamins and Vitamin C are needed to clear histamine.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals boosts your intestines' ability to absorb them while healing.   Keep in mind that gluten-free facsimile foods, like gluten-free bread, are not enriched with added vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts are.   They are empty calories, no nutritional value, which use up your B vitamins in order to turn the calories into fuel for the body to function.   Talk to your doctor or nutritionist about supplementing while healing.  Take a good B Complex and extra Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine (shown to promote gut health).  Most B Complex vitamins contain thiamine mononitrate which the body cannot utilize.  Meats and liver are good sources of B vitamins.   Dr. Sarah Ballantyne wrote the book, the Paleo Approach.  She's a Celiac herself.  Her book explains a lot.   I'm so glad you're feeling better and finding your balance!

      So I should not eat my gluten free bread?  I will try the vitamins.  Thank you all so very much for your ideas and understanding.  I'm feeling better today and have gathered back my composure!

      Some people prefer eating gluten before bed, then sleeping through the worst symptoms at night.  You might want to try that and see if that makes any difference.   Several slices of toast for breakfast sounds okay.  Just try to work up to the Ten grams of gluten.  Cookies might only have a half of a gram of gluten.  The weight of the whole cookie is not the same as the amount of gluten in it.  So do try to eat bread things with big bubbles, like cinnamon rolls.   Yeah, I'm familiar with the "death warmed over" feeling.  I hope you get the genetic test results quickly.  I despise how we have to make ourselves sick to get a diagnosis.  Hang in there, sweetie, the tribe is supporting you.

      Thank you, a little expensive but glad to have this source.

      @knitty kitty  Thank you very much for the advice. I did the exam this morning, my doctor actually suggested me to take something called "Celiac duo test" in which I first do the genetic test and if it's positive, then I'll have to do the antigen blood test. I have to attend 1 month until my results are ready, so I have some weeks to increase the amount of gluten I eat daily. It will be hard because my health is not the best right now, but I also did a blood test to cheek my nutritional deficiencies. The results will arrive on Tuesday, so I can ask my doctor what should I do to control my symptoms and blood levels during this month. For now I'm resting and paying attention to what I eat— at least I don’t look like a vampire who just woke up, like I did yesterday. I'm still scared because is the first time I've felt this sick, but this is the right moment to turn things around for the better.  I realized that if I eat gluten at lunch I cannot finish the day properly, I become severely tired and sometimes my stomach hurts a lot - let's not talk about the bloating that starts later. Do you think is it ok to eat gluten just in the morning, like some cookies and slices of bread for breakfast?
