Ground Beef Troubles? Help, Anyone!

Hi,

I wonder if anyone has had issues with gound beef as opposed to steak? Meaning- is it possible they use the machines on other things that may pose cc issues? I have a vague correlation with ground beef- eating and feeling glutened. I only eat meat from a farm in Maine that uses no antibiotics or growth hormones and la, la... Thank you in advance!

If you had a butcher or a fancy Kitchen Aid machine, you could grind up a steak and then you would know if it was simply the cut of meat that is affecting you. It could also be cc, but I'm not sure how you could test that.

Prepared beef patties frequently have wheat as a binder to hold them together. But if you are buying ground beef (not pre-formed patties) from a butcher, or in the meat department at your grocery store, they should be 100% beef and nothing else. Cross-contamination from another type of meat is conceivable, but nothing containing gluten should ever be put through the meat grinder.

I use ground beef from the supermarket all the time and have never had a problem. :)

Thank you both very much! I guess it must be something else- the search continues!

Be well.

I have a problem with the stryofoam the meat department uses for their meat. I have no problems with the styrofoam from the packaged chicken I buy, only the one meat department ones. I am not really sure so I now only go to the meat counter for any store meat and have them put it in cardboard. Or, I did until they were acting put out so now I go to a butcher shop and have no problems with them at all. Either way, that solved my problem.

I have an old cookbook that suggests cleaning your home meat grinder by putting bread through it to clean out the last of the meat. I doubt a commercial butcher would do that, but you never know.....

That is very interesting- I am going to check into both things and thank you very much!

Its possible that you may be having similar gluten symptoms, that are really "digestive" symptoms from the fat in hamburger. Most celiacs have problems digesting fats. I know I have trouble and the symptoms are quiet similar to when I get into gluten. I take very good digestive enzymes, this eliminates those symptoms. Does it happen "every" time you eat hamburger? Or just sometimes? I know, personally, I digest whole foods hamburger better than I do Wild Oats. I have no idea why and Whole Foods tastes better. We never know what they do to our meat behind closed doors do we? Hope you get it figured out!

I used to get mystery glutenings a lot when I shopped at a small grocery store in my town. I could never figure out why until the day I looked through the open door and saw the butcher sitting at a stool at the butcher block having his lunch. I now buy my meat and produce only from the larger chain store in town. They have a lunch room for their employees and eating in the meat and vegatable dept themselves is forbidden.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      This article does not address migraines at all. Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines...

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems. Everything in moderation. Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese. Sulfites cause a high histamine release. High histamine levels are found in migraine. Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet,...

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Body dysmorphia experience

With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
