Anyone Else Have Trouble With Canned Tuna That Has Broth In It?

I have discovered that I can only eat tuna packed in olive oil. The others even those with soy oil have broth in them and I get sick later. Soy doesn't seem to be a problem for me, so it is something in the broth. I am gluten-free and casein free. Any ideas what is causing me to be affected by the broth? Wondering. :rolleyes:

I had to go read my can of tuna :lol: My tuna has vegetable broth and an allergy warning for soy. It is bumble-bee albacore tuna. I have not had any troubles with it and I seem to be sensitive. However, I remember watching Julia Child and Jaques Pepin talking about can tuna and how Julia said the tuna must be packed in oil! Julia seemed to think it was close to a sin to have tuna packed in water/broth. Julia would advise you (on taste alone) to stick with the tuna in olive oil. I think I might have to agree with her, it tastes better.

I never have tuna in broth only in water.

Hi,

I have never been able to find tuna packed only in water. The cans I have looked at always say water on the front but then broth is listed in the ingredients also. What kind do you buy? Thanks!

I only have tuna in water also and it is the only kind that I have ever had. I buy Oceans, Clover Leaf or Gold Seal. The ingredients are normally tuna, salt, water and some have a preservative such as disodium phosphate.

Vegetable broth is pretty much the standard in tuna. There's no gluten. Tuna, like other meats, must by USDA law list any grain added. The only time I've found a tuna with gluten was a flavored one in a packet that had soy sauce.

I have never found tuna that contained gluten either, except for the mixes. I do always buy tuna in water and that water as a rule is a soy-based broth and it does bother me, just as I can't use regular mayo, I have to buy canola mayo. The only tuna I have found in the local stores is Bumble Bee in the foil pouch, does not contain soy.

I buy the same brands as Felidae.

some of them contain dairy/casein and that bothers me.

HERE IS WHERE THE PROBLEM WITH OUR FOOD IS:

"Tuna, like other meats, must by USDA law list any grain added."

USDA does nothing to preserve the good quality and taste of foods anymore. I have given up tuna and poultry completely because of the added solutions. :angry:

I have problems with the ones that have soy, I use a water only brand. I believe it is Starkist Gourmet in a gold can. That one I have no problem with.

      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 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/

      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.

      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."

      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.
