Deli Meat

What is the potential problem with deli meat? I've searched but all I can find are lists of brands that are gluten-free. This is not so helpful to me as I live abroad-- I'm wondering what *ingredients* I need to watch out for that would have the hidden gluten. Is it just artificial flavors and modified food starch (no idea what the content law is on that where I live).

Boar's Head lists gluten free on their packaging.

Also, for your own health and well-being, you should stay away from all the nitrate crap. Hormel's new brand of lunchmeat (the all natural stuff) is really good and also states gluten-free on the back. The bacon is really good too. It's not as expensive as the premium stuff. When it's on sale, I buy a bunch and freeze it.

The problem with deli meat from the counter is that the slicers are probably contaminated from all the other deli meat they slice on it that does contain gluten. Applewood Farms sells pre-packaged deli meats that are delicious and gluten-free. The brand is sold in Whole Foods Market here in the Northeast. Very high quality product also!

Their hot dogs are good too, my kids LOVE them (and they don't have a bunch of crap in them)

You should see if there's a celiac associaion in Switzerland that can provide some information for you. Labeling laws and ingredients vary greatly from country to country, and an additive that's safe in one county, might not be in another.

Be careful about using information that specifically applies to the US or to Canada.

Hope you get your answer soon :)

I don't know if Switzerland follows the same allergen labelling laws that a lot of European countries do... in most of the EU, gluten has to be clearly marked on the label, and the only exceptions are maltodextrin, dextrose and glucose syrup (that sometimes but not always are from wheat) because those are considered refined enough to be safe. So if you read the ingredients and don't see any obvious gluten sources, then you only need to check the source of those three. It can also be corn, so it's not an automatic no no. Most celiacs I know eat products with wheat glucose syrup without problems btw.

But check with the local celiac association, I'm just writing this from memory and I could be wrong.

I have also seen some that contain broth and that can contain wheat.

Butterball lunch meat, when owned by CONAGRA, contained flavors with gluten containing broth. <_< I try to stick with good brands, like Oscar Myer, Hormel, etc.

I have called Hillshire Farms and their deli selects are gluten free. I think Sara Lee owns them. They sent me a coupon for them and I eat them all the time with corn soft tortillas.

we buy Thumann's because they have a gluten free list and I called them to confirm that the ham and bologna is also dairy free as well.

      New Data on Used Oats

      Thoughtful article. For me the most valuable element of this article is the discussion of IELs. We have many posts on celiac.com from people who have all the symptoms of celiac disease but whose biopsies show no other irregularity than IELs. Perhaps we should be taking that more seriously.

      Daughter has started gluten free diet this week as per gastroenterologists suggestion. However says she feels more tired and like she’s been hit by a train. I suggested it could be the change to gluten free or just stress from the endoscopy last week catching up with her. Just wondering if feeling more tired is a normal reaction at this stage. I suppose i...

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have...

Somewhat controversial but apparently gluten plugs into the same neuro sensors as opiates do and some people get a similar type withdrawal as they do when quitting opiates. Another issue is that gluten-free facsimile flours are not fortified with vitamins and minerals as is wheat flour (in the U.S. at least) so when the switch is made to gluten-free facsimile foods, especially if a lot of processed gluten-free foods are being used as substitutes, vitamin and mineral deficiencies can result. There is also the possibility that she has picked up a virus or some but that is totally unrelated to going gluten-free.

I suppose it’s possible some gluten might have been present without realising. Have tried to reassure her it’s not going to resolve symptoms overnight

It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!
