Last night I ate chicken, corn, and ore-ida french fries with heinz ketchup and got sick. I pulled everything out, and to my surprise, the frozen chicken breasts had a "chicken broth" added to it. Could this be it?

If the ingredients don't list gluten, it doesn't have it. The USDA requires any grain be listed in raw meat.

I eat the Tyson frozen chicken breasts all the time(too much, I think I have went a week where that was my lunch and dinner each day) I also eat the Manor House(safeway brand I think). Neither ever bother me. I'd guess some cross-containination. I always use my own margerine, frying pans, etc.

Hey, its a fun excuse to buy a new fancy set of frying pans/pots. I have this Cuisnart 12'' skillet that is so cool. I'm a nut about cooking however. I drive my wife insane....

Thanks! I'm glad to hear they are okay, cause they sure tasted good. I may have to check into a new pan. Most of mine are steel, so I didn't replace them, but maybe I need to.

What type of fries?

Most Ore-Ida fries are fine, but there are a couple out there that we can't have. Waffle cut are the only ones coming to mind right now. They are not on the gluten free list.

It's Ore-Ida crinkle-cut fries. I'm starting to wonder if it was the Head Country BBQ sauce which I cooked the chicken in, which I was sure I had found out was gluten free, but when I double-checked I couldn't find any information. So now I can't remember why I thought it was fine.

Thanks,

Micah

Steel pans s/b fine. They aren't porous. I've only ever heard of people having problems with some non-stick finishes and cast iron.

Is it possible there was MSG in the chicken broth? My husband is celiac and gets similar reactions if he eats anything with MSG or TBHQ.

Thanks. I have the same problem with MSG.

The package reads:

"broth ingredients are:chicken broth, sea salt, natural flavorings."

I'm going to try it plain next time and see if I still get sick I guess.

What is TBHQ?

Thanks!

Chicken Broth will often contain barley malt as a flavoring and this does not need to be disclosed on the label. The best way to be sure would be to contact the company and ask. They do not seem to have any info on line about it so a phone call or email would be needed. For safety and convience I only go with natural organic chicken with nothing added, I don't like paying chicken prices for water and 'flavoring' anyway.

From what I understand, correct me if I'm wrong, but...

The process to make broth from chicken will result, most often, in a Free Glutamic Acid. While the ingredients may not list MSG, processing will create (EDIT:) the same sort of effect. Free glutamic acid is not technically "Monosodium Glutamate", but it has similar properties. If you have issues with MSG, you may want to look into:

Free Glutamic Acid and hydrolyzed proteins.

Your issues with what you ate may have nothing to do with Free Glutamic acid, but, maybe...

msg is hidden in many processed foods (such as chicken broth). It doesn't need to be blatantly disclosed on the label. Many times "flavorings" or even "broth" actually means msg.

I eat Tyson chicken all the time, too. I normally buy the chicken tenders, but have also bought the breasts. I have called them in the past and they were fine. The broth has nothing in it that Celiacs can't have. Now if you have other food intolerances, it may be a problem. But if it is just Celiac, the chicken is fine.

TBHQ is an additive in a lot of products and is listed just like that on the label. Its official name is way too long to remember. You will find it most often in the cooking oils of restaurants. From what I understand, oils that contain it can cook at a much higher heat without burning; and this makes it faster cooking. That's great for restaurants, but not so good on my hubby's tummy.

For example, Butterfinger Candy Bars are gluten free and by all standards he should be able to eat them; but he would get a belly ache and loose stools every time he tried. Closer look at the label revealed TBHQ. We've started watching closer and find a reaction every time. For some reason, celiacs appear to be more sensitive to additives.

When the "broth" is in raw meat, such as poultry, barley would most certainly have to be disclosed. The USDA has had this rule for years now. Anything that adds nutritional value, and that includes all grains, must be listed.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hi, @Ginger38, I've had shingles in the past.  I understand how miserable you're feeling.   Not only do i have the chickenpox virus lurking about, I also have the cold sore virus that occasionally flares with a huge cold sore on my lip when stressed or exposed to gluten.  The virus lives dormant in the nerves on the left side of my face.  It causes Bell's Palsy (resulting in drooling).  The cold sore virus is also in my eye.  My eye swells up and my vision is diminished permanently whenever I have a flare, so it's of the utmost importance to keep flares away and treat them immediately if they do happen so I don't lose any more vision.   I take the amino acid supplement L-Lysine.  Lysine messes with the replication of viruses, which helps the body fight them off.   I haven't had an outbreak for several years until this year when exceptionally stressed and contaminated, it flared up again. Lysine has been shown to be beneficial in suppression of viruses like the cold sore virus (a herpetic virus), the chickenpox virus (also a herpetic virus), as well as the HIV virus, and even the Covid virus.   I also take additional Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) because Thiamine has antiviral properties as well.   For pain, a combination of Thiamine (like TTFD or Benfotiamine or Thiamine Hydrochloride), with B12 Cobalamine, and Pyridoxine B6 have been shown to have analgesic properties which relieve pain and neuropathy.    The combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and Cobalamine B12 really does work to relieve pain.  I take it for back pain from crushed vertebrae in my back.  This combination also works on other pain and neuropathy.   I usually buy a supplement that combines all three and also Riboflavin B2 called EXPLUS online.  However, it's made in Japan and the price with the tariffs added makes it really expensive now.  But the combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and B12 Cobalamine (and Riboflavin B2) still work even if taken separately.   I can't take Tylenol or ibuprofen because of stomach upsets.  But I can take the vitamin combination without side effects.  However, you can take the three vitamins at the same time as other pain relievers for added benefit.  The vitamins help other pain relievers work better. I hope you will try it.  Hopeful you'll feel better quickly.

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.
