I'm An Idiot - Chicken !

:huh:

Note to self - when I feel like crap, look at what I'm eating !!!

Extra Foods baked chicken - makes for an easy supper BUT has gluten. Last week I was feeling so tired - the kind of tired where you can't barely sit up - and my sinuses were bad, but dry. I was also having stomach cramps but my kids all had the flu so I just thought I was next. Fast forward to this week - bought another chicken two days ago. Yep, started feeling tired again - of course, we had some for supper, I nibbled on some for lunch the next day, and then last night at work I had more and suddenly I was so nauseous, ugh. I have had stomach cramps all night and light headedness, terrible sleep, 'guck' in my chest and my sinuses hurt. :( Good thing I took the skin off, where all the spices are, or it'd be worse.

Anyway - my point is to beware of those convenient baked chickens AND if you feel just a little ill, think about what you've eaten so you don't keep eating it and feel a LOT ill. :blink:

Glad you were able to figure it out. Hope you are feeling better and thanks for the heads up. I'm always tempted to try those chickens because they look so yummy and are convenient, now I won't give it a thought!

The same thing happened to me with a Sam's club chicken, I wouldn't trust those store rotisserie chickens at all. That was my worst glutening ever because I ate so bloody much of it. We bought a rotisserie toaster oven. So there, Sam's.

Costco chickens are fine ~ and less expensive that many of the others. :)

If you have a Costco near you their Rotissare Chicken's are gluten free.

Glad you found out what the problem was, I did the same thing shortly after being diagnosed-I was buying the chicken's from Sam's Club and they are not gluten free.

Our Stop-and-Shop, the plain ones are okay...but the 'italian' ones have all kinds of spices & "natural flavors" and etc and don't work with my system. And the barbecue ones are even worse (well, for length of ingredient list - never tried as I don't like sweet stuff on my meat). Not sure I trust the rotisserie to keep everything separate...so haven't had since going gluten-free.

I don't trust the rotisserie itself, it must be impossible to clean those things enough to make them safe.

Costco chickens are safe? WOOHOO!!!!

Costco eh ??? I wish I had one here in town - closest one is over an hour away...but I will have to check it out.

Thing is, those Extra Foods chickens USED to be ok - I've been having celiac symptoms for over 3 years and never had a major problem with them and we ate a lot of them during the summer ! However, once I'm glutened, it is definitely off my list. :( Extra Foods/Superstore does not seem to be jumping on the bandwagon to list gluten in its ingredients on any of its products and there is enough food out there that I am not going to take the time to research every little item of theirs.

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions to it, so different for everyone.

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      Great advise there I agree with the aniexty part, and the aura migraine has I suffer both, I've also read some great books that have helped I'm going too look the one you mentioned up too thankyou for that, I find a camomile tea just a small one and a gentle wind down before bed has helped me too, I suffer from restless leg syndrome and nerve pain hence I don't always sleep well at the best of times , racing mind catches up I have decorated my whole house in one night in my mind before 🤣 diet changes mindset really help , although I have to say it never just disappears, I find once I came to terms with who I am I managed a lot better  , a misconception is for many to change , that means to heal but that's not always the case , understanding and finding your coping mechanisms are vital tools , it's more productive to find that because there is no failure then no pressure to become something else , it's ok to be sad it's ok to not sleep , it's ok to worry , just try to see it has a journey not a task 🤗

      I agree there I've tryed this myself to prove I can't eat gluten or lactose and it sets me back for about a month till I have to go back to being very strict to settle again

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
