Chicken Broth....

I have noticed on Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts that you buy at the grocery store that it lists "chicken broth" as an ingredient. For me, chicken broth usually always has gluten in it. Is it safe for us in general to eat the chicken, or if the broth did have wheat would they have to put that as one of the ingredients?

I am just wondering if the chicken is normally safe?

Thanks and God bless,

Bobbi

Bobbi:

If the chicken broth is listed as an ingredient and it does not list wheat, the broth is safe. If wheat is used as an ingredient, by law it is required to be listed. IF wheat IS used in the chicken broth, then no, the chicken should not be eaten. Just look for wheat as an ingredient.

Not all chicken broth contains wheat. Swanson's chicken and beef broth is gluten free (but not the organic chicken broth). HerbOx chicken and beef bouillon is gluten free as well as others.

We have used the Herbox before it was good.

Also, if you have a Wegmans in your area, their brand of Chicken Culinary Stock is gluten free and listed as such. I use it all the time. I love it. I paired it with some Glutano Targalte Noodles and fresh veggies and made some wonderful soups last winter.

Thanks so much! I have always thought broth was bad and it would make me sick. I though it just naturally had gluten or something....not sure why I have always though that!

Although the chicken broth must list wheat as a flavoring agent when it is in a meat product they do not have to list barley (malt), the much more likely gluten agent in this. Injected poultry is something we do need to check on. If it is not from a company that always lists gluten ingredients, like Kraft, to be safe and sure you should call the company. If it is made by a company you recognise you can also put the product name into a search engine and the words gluten free if the company has a gluten statement it should be one of the first search results that show up. I always buy organic unadded to poultry if possible, then there is no need for a call.

Perdue has already cooked chicken strips that are are labeled gluten free. This is a recent development. I was happy to see this. They are in the fridge section of the grocery store by the beef and chicken meats.

They are a great company, if you go to their website they have a really long list of safe stuff. If you just put Perdue and gluten in a search engine it will take you right to the website for the list.

It's nice to see a company who is trying to help us. It makes me purchase their products more.

Another great chicken broth--and the one I use--is Pacific Foods Free Range Organic Chicken Broth. It comes in regular and low-sodium and is marked gluten-free right on the box.

Pacific Foods is a really good one and I like that you can get single serving sizes.

I use chicken and beef stock from kitchen basics, it says right on the label gluten, soy and msg free and a few others. I use it for everything and love it.

Love the single serving sizes--they can really come in handy! I brought some with me to the hospital last winter and all my husband had to do was pour it into a mug and microwave.

In Canada, the no name (Superstore, Extra Foods, etc) brand regular chicken and beef broth in the tetra-boxes have wheat in them. However, according to the label, the less sodium versions of both chicken and beef broth don't seem to have wheat/gluten in the ingredients.

      Coeliac and Thyroid?

      By Peace lily · Posted

      Yes I have thyroid and have had it for over 30 years and just got diagnosed for cealiac last march.I have been complaining all the years about stomach pain weight lost hair falling out they kept blaming on the thyroid and I am over 70 years old. but what I’ve been reading thyroid,diabetes,should take a closer look,I think autoimmune plays a part.All I know is that I cook strictly gluten-free and also found if restaurants don’t have a designated gluten-free kitchen not going there. Cross contamination is a big thing .

      Taken Seriously

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Celiac Disease is not taken seriously and I want that to change. It affects one in so many ways and not being properly cared for is frustrating and inhumane. On our worst days the last thing we are thinking about is going to the the hospital.Im 54 years old and went through the celiac ringer with incompetent doctors not understanding the disease and gaslighting me when not feeling well.Ive learned so much with the celiac community and had to school my new gi whose actually listening and understanding, now, this year 2025 when i was half told in 1994 by colonoscopy and endoscopy..Pregancy doesn't affect the public but it's a reportable condition. I want to make celiac disease a reportable disease to protect the patients from being medically gaslight as I was.I want awareness, I want to not have another go through what Ive been through. In order for celiac disease to be taken seriously, I truly think it needs to be reportable disease to protect the patients. I did email Adam Gray and also my local representative.

      Aveeno products

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      I use Aveeno for decades and I am dealing with skin issues and didn't think anything of Aveeno being a problem. Is Aveeno ok?I also use Yarrow pom in it which I notice helps.

      Yes, I use Aveeno Moisturizing Body Lotion with prebiotic oat, unscented. I really only use it on my hands and not every day. Haven't noticed any problems. I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.
