i seem to have problems with poultry. i'm all organic here, which cleared things up here and there, but now i'm wondering why chicken and turkey are giving me problems--no matter what brand no matter what type it seems; i don't wan to reassure myself with more varieties and options; but i can't believe this. please someone tell me this is temporary and is thriving on the birds. i have been terrified of red meat, but thats my only optionnow i guess

Scotty,

I doubt that it's the chicken, rather in it's preparation, or the fact that you are not healed yet. That will take some time.

How did you prepare the poultry?

alright i usually cook plain in a pan (platinum pan???? maybe why--just considered) with salt. i'm kind of leery of any seasonings at this point. i want to add one thing at a time but things are not working out that way. i got well there this pat week after going organic and felt a healing and things absorbing. i had this chicken one morning and instantly thought a contraction was going to flare on the first piece. it subsisided though and ate my meal regularly. almost had D scrambling to the restroom before i peed myself about hour and half maybe later. ate something else for lunch which felt spectacular; had the chikcen again for later meal and this time gave me awful gas the whole way through; in the morning had D. theres been other instances and what not but this last one is making me reconsider. and turkey just seems to make me get all twisted so i like my the sides of my bladder are being pinched, my lower back gets sore

I had to request special handling of my chicken and turkey from the butcher I use because I have a problem with styrofoam and then discovered a problem with the pad that is placed under the chicken. It has some preservatives in it and I don't know what else but I have them hold a chicken out for me each week and I pick it up the next day, sans pad and styrofoam, in a bag. It has worked for me...

wow that's wild. i never thought it might come to that for me. i have heard people on requiring such special treatment. i'm not sure if that would work for me though; i have problems with all kinds, all different brands. i'm begninning to think it was my problems in the first place when i could not find healing no matter what. i'm just going to avoid it for awhile here to see what happens. i keep getting this fear that all foods i eat are going to turn against after assuming i had such success with them

thanks

I had problems with poultry, too. I seem to be able to tolerate Kosher chicken--Empire brand is available in my area, so that's the one I use.

i think i have tried every brand in my area. from organic to regular. even canned. well not everywhere, but all the organic--not too sure about trying like the meat market and this marketplace. i gues there is a lot of places i have yet to try but no organic outlets left.

The biggest problem I had after going gluten-free was simple fat content. Chicken caused some problems. I'm not a big turkey person so I didn't have any through that point. I had to avoid pork completely for the first six months or so or risk the consequences. The skin on chicken in particular is a problem. Now it's rarely a problem for me. I'm careful how I cook the pork to render as much fat as possible, but I can eat it now.

Scotty,

You may be intolerant to it--at least for now. It sounds like you've tried just about every brand and every style.

My advice would be to avoid it completely for a while--say 3 months--and then try some again.

That sounds like a pretty direct reaction, Scotty.

Here's Open Original Shared Link, since chicken and turkey can carry food borne illness unless they're cooked long enough at a high temperature. They need to be put in the refrigerator within about an hour or two of cooling off, too. Scroll down to salmonellosis to check if the symptoms might match.

People with compromised immune systems can pick up foodborne illness easier than other people.

thats funny cuz i always get just breasts i have not even tried ones with skins for fear of them. i'm going to have to just try a new path here. then maybe go back; but the odd part of my system is how foods break me down. i'll get a good reaction out of something and next thing i know i just start slowly developing problems...this is all so screwy and quite irritating breaking these cycles

I just had to stop using my old aluminum pans that I have been using for years since everything I make on them makes me sick...I keep them around now for the kids and their stuff. I normally use only new, glass, or stainless steel.

Sometimes poultry, even "vegetarian, organic, etc." birds, are fed a special high sodium wheat that makes them retain water and become very plump and juicy. Apparently some dogs with wheat intolerance have been known to react to this poulty. I guess it's possible that some people might too.

well i have new pans that i got half way through going gluten free; i was just wondering if the platinum ones might be aggravating me, thats the one i use the most

that was what i was thinking. it seems all poultry is bothering me right now; but i have always been curious if the fact that animals are fed gluten how is it that we celiacs would be able to eat them. unfortunately i got to trial and error stuff again to see if it was bothering as well as the poultry. this is just disgusting :angry:

      Water filters are a potential problem for Celiac Disease

      Water filters are a potential problem for Celiac Disease

      By YoshiLuckyJackpotWinner888 · Posted

      Most people are already deficient in minerals.  I can understand the concern. However, if you do happen to get enough through supplementation, drinking pure distilled water is not going to matter.  I happen to get over 100% of rda vitamins and minerals.   I push myself to get 4000 mg of potassium a day through food, drinks, and supplements combined. I don’t know anyone else that does. The rda is closer to 4700 mg a day. For anyone else that might be deficient, I suppose tap water might be a better option.  I personally can’t stand the taste of most city tap water sources.  I don’t mind mineral water and prefer it when possible. I recently found out we would need to drink 5 liters of San Pellagrino mineral water a day to get enough lithium to satisfy the suggested 1 mg a day. Unfortunately, this and other mineral waters can also have trace amounts of uranium that occur naturally in nature. Uranium is not a good thing to have in your water. I wouldn’t want that or naturally occurring lead in my water.  There is no perfect solution for drinking water.  Smart water distills and then adds back in some electrolytes.  I could evaporate two gallons day of tap water or mineral water and the remaining sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, etc… wouldn’t amount to what I already consume on a daily basis. I’m not worried about drinking distilled water.

      Library paste and paper mache.  I have in passing read of wheat based glue used to glue fish tank filters together so it is not surprising they might be in refridgerator filters. Seems the issue with bottled water would be at the personal filters rather than the mass filtering.  Just have to boycott the brands that effect you.  Gatorade drinks all have either gums, modified starches or stevia that might be affecting you.  Looking for energy or hydration try Red Bull.  It has the vitamins, minerals, antioxidant Taurine, sugar and glucose to process the sugar from mouth to ATP and clean up. Taurine is essential for protecting mitochondria from damage, such as from reactive oxygen species (ROS) or calcium overload. If you are exclusively drinking bottled water you may want to consider taking Lithium Orotate 5 mg.  We need about 1 mg a day of Lithium and mostly it is gotten from ground water.  Lithium deficiency can cause anxiety and suicide.  I find it helpful.

There really should not be any organic molecules in  such a bottle. I seen a thread where it was mentioned that his refrigerator water filter tested positive for gluten when he had it checked. If I went to physician to get checked for other possible triggers from a water bottle, I don’t think that will go anywhere. Again, distilled water containers cause no reactions. I’m not an industry expert, but something is there.  I don’t think that this is a case of microplastics causing this. Too bad we can’t call upon some third party investigation.

      Reverse Osmosis (RO) Water

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It’s understandable to want to be cautious, especially after experiencing symptoms. However, there is currently no scientific evidence that reverse osmosis or standard activated carbon water filters expose people to gluten in amounts that would trigger celiac disease. Gluten is a protein, and if any starch-based binder were used in filter manufacturing, it would not pass through RO membranes or remain in finished bottled water at clinically meaningful levels. Plain water — filtered, RO, or bottled — does not contain gluten unless it is intentionally added (which would require labeling). Steam-distilled water is certainly safe, but it is not considered medically necessary for people with celiac disease. If reactions are occurring, it may be helpful to explore other potential explanations with a healthcare provider rather than assuming filter-related gluten exposure.
