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.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
