Pre-cooked Chickens

You know the ones I'm talking about, where they cook a whole little chicken for you and sell it in the plastic try with a cover.

I had some last night at my IL's and now I'm wondering if it's ok. The only thing it said on the package was "Seasoned Pre-cooked Chicken." I think it was from Sam's.

Did I do a boo-boo?

Only one way to find out... short of quizzing them and you just did it ....

Even if you ask them its not guaranteed ... so I can't class it as a boo-boo so much as a learning experience!

I don't have a Sam's so I don't about that particular chicken. Around me, the stores either carry Boston Market brand which is gluten free but does contain milk (we're lactose free, too, so it doesn't work for us) and Perdue brand. When the chicken gets to the store from Perdue it's gluten free but, at least at my store, they have one oven and it's not cleaned between products so I don't buy it because it's possible that there's residue from something containing gluten on the rods that they put through the chickens to cook them and it might rub off. Does that make sense? I don't buy them anymore but I definitely used to and I miss that timesaver...

Come to think of it, I've seen Tyson precooked chickens in the refrigerated section of the store. I wonder if those are gluten free? I'll have to check that out...

Shhhh... my guilty little secret is that I live on these! I shop at Busch's or Hillers and pick up at least one a week.

I know that at the Sam's near me, the chickens have wheat--it's one of the first ingredients listed on the label.

Just got an email back from Tyson (if I knew how to post their response here I would but I'm just not that good with the computer). All their cooked roasted chickens are gluten and dairy free. In my store, they're in the refrigerated section in a plastic bowl type thing and vaccuum packed.

I know the Costco chickens are gluten free, but I've gotten a little bit CC'd a couple times, I think because at my Costco the bakery is right next to the deli and sometimes some flour makes it through the door way. I still eat the chickens, but I limit the amount of skin I eat, which is probably better for me anyway.

Sam's club contain Wheat. Costco has said there's in my area are gluten-free.... I usually just go the Boston Market . I don't know why I feel better about there claim because they too have wheat products in their kitchen.Giant Eagle in my area also contain wheat.........

Why can't the world just go gluten-free, wheat isn't good for anyone anymore!!!!Wishful thinking I guess...

Somehow, I missed all of your responses until today! So much for the "View New Posts" feature....

Anyway, thanks for the info. I'm glad now that I didn't have it for lunch the next day, as was my plan.

Well, on the plus side, I did have a reaction to it, so that sort of confirms my sensitivity to it, right?

So much for my stupid GI telling me "You do NOT have celiac. I tested you twice for it. [he was referring to the blood tests and the endoscopy biopsy] It's impossible for you to have it."

Well just got one they promise is only herbs and salt....

No kitchen at the moment ......

Honestly, its a crapshoot..... I know they mean that but I have no idea what else they touched or if they had other things in the rotiserrie (ack can't think in English now) that might have gluten so ...........

I'll report back tomorrow... if Im quiet or someone starts a thread about "gfp: not so mellow anymore" then you know why :o

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Theresa2407 · Posted

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Possible celiac - need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Celiac or not??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
