does anyone know what the deal is on ground turkey? I have heard that the frozen meat/patties can be a problem, but I am just talking about the fresh stuff...

Thanks --- Cin

Read the label and if it says "wheat" , don't go there.

Cin, if there is wheat there, it is required by law to list. If you don't see that on the label, enjoy it.

Not just wheat. Because it's plain raw meat, any grains MUST be listed.

Just when you thought you were safe......I was in WalMart yesterday trying to buy some hamburger. I almost had it in my cart when I noticed a small sentence on the bottom of the package. "Ground Beef with Natural Flavoring." There it is. Now it might not even be safe to buy hamburger from WalMart ! :blink:

What kind of flavoring is needed in plain ground up beef? I checked the other meats like steaks and roasts and they all said the same thing. The writing is small and you have to really look for it, but they ALL said it. I realize it might still be gluten free. But why in the world do they feel the need to add things to plain meat? :huh:

I guess the best thing to do when in doubt will always be to call the company.

I couldn't have said it better, that is exactly what I was thinking.... I hadn't really looked at the ground turkey label, and I have been eating it, and I haven't had any issues yet... but I am new to this, so there is always tomorrow. Today I looked and it scared me a little bit...

For crying out loud! What does a girl have to do to get some safe food on this planet :-)

Cheers,

Cin

We use Shadybrook Farms ground turkey all the time with no problems. I believe it also says "with flavorings" but, like I said, I've called the company and we've never had a problem with it. By the way, we also eat their turkey sausage with no problems, too.

I use Jennie O ground turkey and turkey sausage and have never had any problems.

Try Shelton's turkey burgers or Bell and Evans chicken burgers. Both are at whole foods.

The "natural flavorings" are added because the only way to produce the lower fat meat the public wants is to remove fat. Removing fat removes flavor and moisture. Fat might be bad for you in excess, but fat is yummy. Most of today's pork and turkey is incredibly bland tasting compared to the past, so they add flavorings and moisture.

But from a gluten standpoint, once again, if it doesn't list wheat, rye or barley on meat, it's gluten-free.

      It is more likely code for “we think there really was a good response to the treatment, but it was small or in a small percent of subjects so it would take a large clinical trial to try to prove it.”

      Celiac symptoms

      Thank you so much for your replies. Luckily the rash went away when I completely swore off gluten. It took several months but I have not had a flare in months. So a biopsy is no longer possible. The itch was terrible and apart from bleaching my skin the steroid lotions and potions did nothing. The Gliadin is for accidents and shall be a part of my travel kit from now on. This past exposure has made a me a little leery about eating anything that was not cooked in my kitchen or a dedicated gluten-free restaurant. As much as I used to love baked goods, I am cured and have become quite the gluten free baker to the point that friends and family forget that my cakes/cookies/and bread are not "real". I guess I will have to wait for the new blood test to come out to get confirmation but I have a suspicion that the rash was dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill

      Celiac symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. 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:
