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.

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies. Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
