So i was in the store shopping for breakfast, i figure eh may as well restock on my eggs, so i was looking thru the eggs and i was thinking hmmm i wonder if brown eggs are good, luckly my gluten-free opend them up to inspect the eggs because there it was a ingrediant list

Flax seed rolled in wheat, thats what it said so what do they inject them? wtf

so my question is, i got some white eggs from the same company there was no ingrediant list, should this be just eggs or should i just throw away them and find a new brand? i dont wanna eat them and then find out there injected with wheat gah that was some bs are all brown eggs like that?

Lister,

I never look at the ingredence in eggs before. Just thought they were just plain eggs.

I do think there is no difference between brown and white eggs...just the breed of the chicken.

I think that you are safe eating the eggs.

Here is something for you to try:

Scramble eggs in a bowl (how many you want to eat)

Add a little half&half, or milk

Add a little cream cheese

Add some McCormicks dried onions

Add some Oscar Meyer Real Bacon Bitts

Salt and pepper to taste

Mix it up real well and SLOWLY stir and cook on top of the stove....too good

Fry up some Jimmy Dean Sausage and some Oreida hash browns...and your cooking. ALL GLUTEN FREE. :)

That is really weird! Maybe the gluten is from what they fed the chicken before it laid the eggs. I know that some companies make egg white that says gluten free on it. I don't know what to tell you about the white eggs. I can't imagine how they would inject wheat into them.

i ran back to the store, its mcormic farms, they have a special brown egg that says Contains Omega 3, its injected with omega 3 with flaxseed that contains wheat... well so no brown eggs from that brand for me

so there whites are safe then right? i dont wanna start my morning off with a glutening its gonna be a long day at work to begine with

interesting. I've seen omega-3 eggs where they feed the hens flax meal, but not where they inject the eggs directly. very odd.

I'm with Tiffany on this one. I've never seen anything but eggs where chickens were fed flax seed to add omega 3 to the eggs.

Lister Rising Star

so should i trust there white eggs? they dont say there injected or anything for the white ones, but it got me worried after reading the brown ones, please someone answer by morning, or else i dont know what im gonna do about breakfast at work

yah the chickens were fed flax, i ment to say they where injected with hormons, but they where fed a flax,wheat mixture (for the brown eggs- i got the white ones though)

Shouldn't matter what they were fed. The flax eggs just have more nutrition because of the omega 3. White or brown eggs would be fine.

tarnalberry Community Regular

then those eggs are fine, they don't have gluten in them. the chicken eating wheat is not going to put gluten in the egg, because the chicken is going to digest the protein.

Lister Rising Star

ah ok thanks for clearing that up, i will eat in peace tomorrow morning :)

figure i would add this on, anyone have problems with apple juice upsetting there stomic, lately i have been having upset stomics fairly regularary, so i was reviewing my food jurnal, and the only thing i added was minute maid apple juice, i know its gluten-free, but is apple juice itself hard on the stomic??

also thanks for that great breakfast recipe i think i will give it a try it sounds really good

Some brown eggs are also just that -- brown eggs. Omega-3 fatty acids are a very good anti-inflammatory thing to eat, as well.

I'm particularly fond of cream cheese in eggs myself -- I'd throw in some avocado as well, but I'm in Florida where they're really cheap right now.

The only thing I've heard about apple juice is that it's actually something that's supposed to help soothe an upset stomach.

weak i got no clue what keeps upsetting my stomic then :(, i had drank some apple juice about a hour ago and my stomic is twiching and hurting right now so i was hoping that was why, well not really i love apple juice but i meen atleast then i pin pointed the source, ok enough message board for tonight, i got to get to bed for work

      I've been buying my seeds and nuts from Prana Organics for a number of years because the products have been GFCO-certified. I just got a new order delivered of their flax and sunflower seeds, and it turns out that they are no longer GFCO-certified. Instead, it just has a generic "Gluten Free" symbol on the package. I reached out to them to ask what protocols/standards/testing they have in place. The person that wrote back said that they are now certifying their gluten free status in-house, but that she couldn't answer my questions related to standards because the person with that info was on vacation. Not very impressed, especially since it still says on their website that they are GFCO-certified. Buyer beware!

      Hi @Dizzyma I note what @trents has commented about you possibly posting from the UK.  Just to let you know that am a coeliac based in the UK, so if that is the case, do let me know if can help you with any questions on the NHS provision for coeliacs.    If you are indeed based in the UK, and coeliac disease is confirmed, I would thoroughly recommend you join Coeliac UK, as they provide a printed food and drink guide and also a phone app which you can take shopping with you so you can find out if a product is gluten free or not. But one thing I would like to say to you, no matter where you live, is you mention that your daughter is anxious.  I was always a bit of a nervous, anxious child but before my diagnosis in mid-life my anxiety levels were through the roof.   My anxiety got steadily better when I followed the gluten-free diet and vitamin and mineral deficiencies were addressed.  Anxiety is very common at diagnosis, you may well find that her anxiety will improve once your daughter follows a strict gluten-free diet.

      Welcome to the celic.com community @Dizzyma! I'm assuming you are in the U.K. since you speak of your daughter's celiac disease blood tests as "her bloods".  Has her physician officially diagnosed her has having celiac disease on the results of her blood tests alone? Normally, if the ttg-iga blood test results are positive, a follow-up endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining to check for damage would be ordered to confirm the results of "the bloods". However if the ttg-iga test score is 10x normal or greater, some physicians, particularly in the U.K., will dispense with the endoscopy/biopsy. If there is to be an endoscopy/biopsy, your daughter should not yet begin the gluten free diet as doing so would allow healing of the small bowel lining to commence which may result in a biopsy finding having results that conflict with the blood work. Do you know if an endoscopy/biopsy is planned? Celiac disease can have onset at any stage of life, from infancy to old age. It has a genetic base but the genes remain dormant until and unless triggered by some stress event. The stress event can be many things but it is often a viral infection. About 40% of the general population have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. So, for most, the genes remain dormant.  Celiac disease is by nature an autoimmune disorder. That is to say, gluten ingestion triggers an immune response that causes the body to attack its own tissues. In this case, the attack happens in he lining of the small bowel, at least classically, though we now know there are other body systems that can sometimes be affected. So, for a person with celiac disease, when they ingest gluten, the body sends attacking cells to battle the gluten which causes inflammation as the gluten is being absorbed into the cells that make up the lining of the small bowel. This causes damage to the cells and over time, wears them down. This lining is composed of billions of tiny finger-like projections and which creates a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients from the food we eat. This area of the intestinal track is where all of our nutrition is absorbed. As these finger-like projections get worn down by the constant inflammation from continued gluten consumption before diagnosis (or after diagnosis in the case of those who are noncompliant) the efficiency of nutrient absorption from what we eat can be drastically reduced. This is why iron deficiency anemia and other nutrient deficiency related medical problems are so common in the celiac population. So, to answer your question about the wisdom of allowing your daughter to consume gluten on a limited basis to retain some tolerance to it, that would not be a sound approach because it would prevent healing of the lining of her small bowel. It would keep the fires of inflammation smoldering. The only wise course is strict adherence to a gluten free diet, once all tests to confirm celiac disease are complete.

      Hi all, I have so many questions and feel like google is giving me very different information. Hoping I may get some more definite answers here. ok, my daughter has been diagnosed as a coeliac as her bloods show anti TTG antibodies are over 128. We have started her  on a full gluten free diet. my concerns are that she wasn’t actually physically sick on her regular diet, she had tummy issues and skin sores. My fear is that she will build up a complete intolerance to gluten and become physically sick if she has gluten. Is there anything to be said for keeping a small bit of gluten in the diet to stop her from developing a total intolerance?  also, she would be an anxious type of person, is it possible that stress is the reason she has become coeliac? I read that diagnosis later in childhood could be following a sickness or stress. How can she have been fine for the first 10 years and then become coeliac? sorry, I’m just very confused and really want to do right by her. I know a coeliac and she has a terrible time after she gets gluttened so just want to make sure going down a total gluten free road is the right choice. thank you for any help or advise xx
