Hi,

I do fine with beef, but not with regular-brand chicken.

I've found that Kosher chicken, such as Empire, is much better for me. I was getting a lot of gas and bloating from regular chicken--especially if also eaten two days in a row (like leftover in a salad at lunch).

If you can find Empire, or another Kosher brand, you could give it a try. I get mine at Wegman's (a large grocery chain).

I also found myself intolerant to all grains after I went gluten-free. I stayed strictly grain-free for about 8 months and I can now tolerate rice.

I sometimes have problems with chicken, although it is not clear why. Beef is OK but my face feels greasy for a day or two afterwards. Overall, I do better with fish. Be careful there due to contaminents (heavy metals, etc.).

For the past 15 months, I've been having reactions to additional foods. At first, I just scratched my head because I could see nothing in common with them. A recent post on this board helped me realize that they all contain lectins. According to info on www.dadamo.com, chicken contains a lectin. That may or may not be associated with the issues I've encountered. The site also indicates that chicken should be avoided for my blood type. I'm still trying to decide whether there is anything to the blood-type diet. The best I can say right now is that the diet's recommendations have some ccorrelation with foods that my own experience indicates I can or can not eat.

Best of luck figuring out your own diet. It is really tough when there are few options. I've been keeping my eye open at the grocery store for foods I normally do not eat. Today, I tried parsnips for the first time. They were easy to fix and had a pleasant taste. It was good to get some vegetables and fiber back in my diet. Although I like meat and fish, I prefer not to eat it any more. I feel a lot better on a vegan diet. The catch is that all the high-protein choices are on my avoid list.

Same for me...I did an elimination diet back in November...couldn't ever get to the point where I could add food back in because I was "reacting" the entire time on the base diet. Turns out I have a problem with chicken and lamb. I have no problems whatsoever with beef though. Turkey is okay and so is pork for me.

I am going to try the Kosher chicken Patti talked about. I had been buying Rocky chicken from Whole Foods, and that is what I was reacting to. I know of two highly sensitive people now who have said they did well on kosher chicken but not rocky chicken.

Thanks for the input you guys. Sounds like you all do okay with beef...that's great! Maybe one day I'll get brave and try a little bit. It was one of the first things that I eliminated. Funny how things work out like that...I ended up reacting to my base diet too. I'm not surprised that I was reacting to the packaged applegate farms turkey and the boar's head fresh deli turkey, but I am surprised that I react to free-range chicken. I was reacting to Rocky brand chicken as well dlp!

But that's a great suggestion...Kosher chicken. I'll keep an eye out for it in the store. dlp, if you try it, let me know how it goes :)

Hmm. I was reading up on chicken feed and it doesn't look like they feed the chickens and turkeys gluten...they do feed them corn though. I wonder if that could be the problem? who knows.

      GliadinX is such a product and many/some report it really helps. In the interest of disclosure, the company that produces it is one of our sponsors.

      Occasionally eating out in restaurants means that there is potential cross contamination in spite of ordering a gluten free dish. What enzyme supplements can the forum recommend that would help with potential cross contamination? Something I could take before I start eating. I used to order Wheat Rescue from Microbiome lab, but it is not available anymore.

      Hi  - Anyone have any experience with these? I bought them at Costco thinking they must be gluten-free, but now I see Natural Flavors and Spice in the ingredients. There's no Gluten Free labeling. However the Costco site and two other sites say it's gluten free. Anyone know?
    • Scott Adams
      Yes, I doubt you can find a perfectly safe restaurant--perhaps a dedicated gluten-free restaurant, but in general, very few of them exist, and they tend to be in larger cities. Super sensitive celiacs should probably just avoid eating out.
