Ground Beef & Turkey

The nurse at my PCP's office who told me her Mum has celiac disease said I can't have the ground beef or turkey from the store as it will contain filler.....I thought if you bought the fresh, not frozen from the butchery counter it was just ground meat. Anyone know the answer?

A lot of the grocery stores by me have the ground beef pre-packaged. I always look at the ingredients to make sure it is okay. I have not had any problems buying ground beef (I do not buy the frozen ground beef). Jennie-O has pre-packaged ground turkey and I believe most of it is gluten free (I have not tried ground turkey). Some companies they add in spices etc so you do want to look at the ingredients.

If there is a brand you like, you can call their 800 line and double check with them. A lot of companies are very helpful (you will get the occasional not helpful place though).

I am sure someone else will comment on this topic with more info.

In the U.S., any grain added to meat MUST by USDA law be listed. Just read the label. Ground beef and turkey almost never have "filler" added.

I always wondered about the "natural flavor" added to the ground beef from Walmart so I emailed them a few weeks ago. They use Cargill Solutions as their meat provider. They emailed me back very quickly and said the natural flavor is a rosemary tincture and it is gluten free.

Does the labeling also include pork? Thanks.

The USDA labeling law is for all raw meats. Buying raw, fresh (and frozen) meat is very easy.

Richard, thank you. This will be one less thing I have to call on!

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?

      Chances of being coeliac

      @JettaGirl, "Coeliac" is the British spelling of "celiac". Same disease.

      This may sound ridiculous but is this supposed to say Celiacs? I looked up Coeliacs because you never know, there’s a lot of diseases related to a disease that they come up with similar names for. It’s probably meant to say Celiacs but I just wanted to confirm.
