Any Problem With Frozen Chicken?

We purchased a brand of frozen precut chicken filets called Pilgrim's Pride, noticed when I got home it says they are "soaked in chicken broth to add flavor." Fearing the broth could be glutenous (as it often is in canned soups) I went to their website and they specifically list the broth ingredients separately as, "Chicken broth, sodium phosphates." Does this mean it should be safe? (I assume as the broth itself does not list wheat should be OK?) Anyone else ever had an issue with Pilgrim's Pride or frozen chicken at all? Thanks!

I think that it should be ok. Sodium (salt). I would eat it, as it did not list wheat. And I am not familiar with the brand. I would feel better if someone else would click in.

We eat Pilgrim's Pride chicken fairly often with no problems. We get it at WalMart here. I'm curious though because while we've never had the specific type you're talking about, the ones we usually buy (boneless breast or tenderloin) say gluten free on the pkg...and really seem to be because I don't react.

I'd be interested in knowing why this one type of Pilgrim's Pride chicken isn't marked gluten free if their policy is to mark other of their chicken products gluten free. (Or maybe it is, and you were wondering if you can trust it)

If it's not marked gluten-free, I'd investigate further. If it is marked gluten-free, based on my experience with this company, I'd say you can trust it.

Any plain raw meat product is required to list a grain if it's added in. After more than 5 years, I've still never personally seen a plain raw meat product that has gluten added. I've heard there was some beef at Walmart, but, as required, it was clearly marked.

We buy those chicken filets at Sam's every month, and I've never had a problem.

Thank you, Richard. That's excellent information to have!

Question: "Any plain, raw meat product is required to list a grain if it's added...." Would "plain" include a meat product that states it's soaked in chicken broth?

The ones I eat may be the very same as we're talking about here. I don't know and don't have a package in. I'll have to look next time.

Thanks again!

Hi, I've just saw your post. we used "pilgrims pride 100% natural chicken" for the last 2 months. At the back of the package it says "Gluten Free" and also lists natural chicken broth ingredients as: chicken broth, salt, carrageenan".

My husband was not feeling well for the last two weeks - we checked all the food again and again - We dont know what carrageenan is, so to be on the safe side, we eat fish instead of chicken now, he has no stomach/intestine pain.

did you look it up on the internet and researched what it is? I think that perhaps his illness was do to something else. But not being there, I have no clue.

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      @klmgarland, My dermatitis herpetiformis didn't clear up until I became meticulous about cross contamination. I cut out gluten-free oats and all gluten-free foods, dairy and gluten-free rice. Additionally, getting the right amount of protein for my body weight helped significantly in my body's healing process ... along with supplementing with enough of all the vitamins and minerals ... especially Zinc and Magnesium. I went from 70kg to 82kg in a year. Protein with each meal 3 times daily, especially eggs at breakfast made the difference. I'm not sure whether iodine was a problem for me, but I can tolerate iodine no problem now. I'm off Dapsone and feel great. Not a sign of an itch. So there is hope. I'm not advocating for the use of Dapsone, but it can bring a huge amount of relief despite it's effect on red blood cells. The itch is so distracting and debilitating. I tried many times to get off it, it wasn't until I implemented the changes above and was consistent that I got off it. Dermatitis Herpetiformis is horrible, I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

      Thank you so very much Scott.  Just having someone understand my situation is so very helpful.  If I have one more family member ask me how my little itchy skin thing is going and can't you just take a pill and it will go away and just a little bit of gluten can't hurt you!!!! I think I will scream!!

      It is difficult to do the detective work of tracking down hidden sources of cross-contamination. The scenarios you described—the kiss, the dish towel, the toaster, the grandbaby's fingers—are all classic ways those with dermatitis herpetiformis might get glutened, and it's a brutal learning curve that the medical world rarely prepares you for. It is difficult to have to deal with such hyper-vigilance. The fact that you have made your entire home environment, from makeup to cleaners, gluten-free is a big achievement, but it's clear the external world and shared spaces remain a minefield. Considering Dapsone is a logical and often necessary step for many with DH to break the cycle of itching and allow the skin to heal while you continue your detective work; it is a powerful tool to give you back your quality of life and sleep. You are not failing; you are fighting an incredibly steep battle. For a more specific direction, connecting with a dedicated celiac support group (online or locally) can be invaluable, as members exchange the most current, real-world tips for avoiding cross-contamination that you simply won't find in a pamphlet. You have already done the hardest part by getting a correct diagnosis. Now, the community can help you navigate the rest. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      My only proof

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's very frustrating to be dismissed by medical professionals, especially when you are the one living with the reality of your condition every day. Having to be your own advocate and "fight" for a doctor who will listen is an exhausting burden that no one should have to carry. While that 1998 brochure is a crucial piece of your personal history, it's infuriating that the medical system often requires more contemporary, formal documentation to take a condition seriously. It's a common and deeply unfair situation for those who were diagnosed decades ago, before current record-keeping and testing were standard. You are not alone in this struggle.

      Methylprednisone treatment for inflammation?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Methylprednisolone is sometimes prescribed for significant inflammation of the stomach and intestines, particularly for conditions like Crohn's disease, certain types of severe colitis, or autoimmune-related gastrointestinal inflammation. As a corticosteroid, it works by powerfully and quickly suppressing the immune system's inflammatory response. For many people, it can be very effective at reducing inflammation and providing rapid relief from symptoms like pain, diarrhea, and bleeding, often serving as a short-term "rescue" treatment to bring a severe flare under control. However, experiences can vary, and its effectiveness depends heavily on the specific cause of the inflammation. It's also important to be aware that while it can work well, it comes with potential side effects, especially with longer-term use, so it's typically used for the shortest duration possible under close medical supervision. It's always best to discuss the potential benefits and risks specific to your situation with your gastroenterologist.
