I want to make this Thanksgiving completely gluten-free. I doubt Butterball is gluten-free. Does anyone know of whole turkey's that are gluten-free for me to roast this year?

Actually Butterball regular turkey is gluten free. As long as the turkey has no basting on it.. it should be fine. I ate Butterball at last Thanksgiving with no problem at all.

I did some research last year and found that quite a few turkeys were gluten-free. Your best bet is to decide which turkey you want and call the company. I stood in the grocery store doing just that. I am sorry I cannot remember any of the brands.

As with any other plain raw meat.ll you have to do is read the ingredients. The USDA requires that anything that adds nutritional value be clearly listed. As confirmed by the USDA, this includes ANY grain. Butterball is definitely gluten-free. I've never seen a plain, unstuffed turkey that has gluten.

I love Honeysuckle White! I am not able to find it here, though :(

So...I get a fresh Butterball--it has to be ordered a couple of weeks ahead of time, but it's worth it. :)

It's so nice to see you --glad you popped in! :D

ditto what richard said. I generally get a Diestel turkey, as I prefer supporting their business practices over most of the conventional farms that I've seen, and because that's the brand I went with the first year I went gluten-free (I made the dietary change very shortly before thanksgiving, and hadn't found many resources on identifying gluten or not at the time).

After checking out turkey choices at the local grocery store I sent out some emails to verify that they're free of gluten, casein/dairy, and soy. Here's the reply I got from Honeysuckle:

Thank you for contacting Honeysuckle White.

Our fresh and frozen whole turkeys are injected with a basting solution that contains turkey broth (turkey juice and water), salt, sodium phosphate, sugar and a natural flavoring that is an allergen free, non-dairy butter flavoring.

The product is MSG, gluten, soy and dairy/casien free.

I hope this helps.

Sincerely,

Tammy

      Low iron and vitamin d

      Hi, I posted before about my son's legs shaking after gluten. I did end up starting him on vit b and happily he actually started sleeping better and longer. Back to my 4 year old.

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result. I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned? Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous...

      Low iron and vitamin d

      By lizzie42 · Posted

      Hi, I posted before about my son's legs shaking after gluten. I did end up starting him on vit b and happily he actually started sleeping better and longer.  Back to my 4 year old. She had gone back to meltdowns, early wakes, and exhaustion. We tested everything again and her ferritin was lowish again (16) and vit d was low. After a couple weeks on supplements she is cheerful, sleeping better and looks better. The red rimmed eyes and dark circles are much better.   AND her Ttg was a 3!!!!!! So, we are crushing the gluten-free diet which is great. But WHY are her iron and vit d low if she's not getting any gluten????  She's on 30mg of iron per day and also a multivitamin and vit d supplement (per her dr). That helped her feel better quickly. But will she need supplements her whole life?? Or is there some other reason she's not absorbing iron? We eat very healthy with minimal processed food. Beef maybe 1x per week but plenty of other protein including eggs daily.  She also says her tummy hurts every single morning. That was before the iron (do not likely a side effect). Is that common with celiac?

I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.
