Seltzer's Lebanon Balogna

Does anyone know if Seltzer's slim slices are gluten free? I got glutened badly on Saturday and that's the only thing I can think of that may have caused it. I know their sweet balogna is gluten free, but I must've grabbed the wrong thing and it tasted the same. I didn't notice I had the wrong package until after I ate a slice.

I checked out several brands of lebanon boloney and they said they were gluten-free - sorry I don't have those e-mails anymore to confirm. If it's a new style (like "light" or "low fat") it could be different. When I was a kid I called it "My Favorite Meat" and ate it almost every day. I can still remember the unique taste of a lebanon boloney sandwich that has sat in your school locker all morning. It's hard to find outside of PA. Did you ever try it fried? Cut each piece in half and make a few cuts in the outer edge to keep it flat, then fry it until it shrinks and the fat cooks out. Pile up a huge quantity on soft white bread (I guess we'll have to leave that part out now) until the bread soaks up all the grease and eat with a smile :P . I once lived in Indiana in 1981, and when I asked the local store where the lebanon boloney was they had never heard of it and thought it might be middle eastern :huh: . No, not that Lebanon! I also miss scrapple - it's available here in NJ, but it all has flour in it. Maybe if I just make some polenta with pork broth and lots of pepper it will seem the same.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I have found that in addition to gluten, I am sensitive to inulin/chicory root fiber. I wondered why I had gastrointestinal symptoms after drinking a Chobani yogurt drink - much like being glutened. Happened at least twice before I figured out that it was that chicory root fiber additive. I do not react to ordinary dairy, yogurt, etc. For the holidays...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      It's great to hear that your gluten-free journey has been going well overall, and it's smart to be a detective when a reaction occurs. Distinguishing between a gluten cross-contamination issue and a reaction to high fiber can be tricky, as symptoms can sometimes overlap. The sudden, intense, food poisoning-like hour you experienced does sound more consistent...

      Celiac Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      This explains a lot. I had a severe leg injury when I was younger. I've had several surgeries. I was super careful, but always got cellulitis. Interesting article. Even when I was gluten free and had surgery, I still got cellulitis.

      Gut Healing After a Celiac Diagnosis: What Science Says About Recovery Time (+Video)

      Good article. Everyone expects healing within a few weeks. I remember not feeling good until 4 months into the gluten free diet. In fact, the first month was horrible. I felt way worse. This is due to a large part of addiction to wheat. It feels like withdrawal symptoms. Your body wants the gluten no matter what. At 4 months, I remember waking up one...

I got rid of all gluten-containing flours, mixes and pastas in my kitchen. Much easier to avoid cross-contamination that way!

      It's great to hear that your gluten-free journey has been going well overall, and it's smart to be a detective when a reaction occurs. Distinguishing between a gluten cross-contamination issue and a reaction to high fiber can be tricky, as symptoms can sometimes overlap. The sudden, intense, food poisoning-like hour you experienced does sound more consistent with a specific intolerance or contamination, as a high-fiber reaction typically involves more digestive discomfort like bloating or gas that lasts longer. Since the protein bar was the only new variable, it’s a strong suspect; it's worth checking if it contains ingredients like sugar alcohols (e.g., maltitol, sorbitol) or certain fibers (inulin/chicory root) that are notorious for causing acute digestive upset, even in gluten-free products. For your holiday baking, your plan is solid: bake the gluten-free items first, use entirely separate utensils and pans (not just washed), and consider color-coding tools to avoid mix-ups. Additionally, store your gluten-free flours and ingredients well away from any airborne wheat flour, which can stay in the air for hours and settle on surfaces. Keep listening to your body and introducing new packaged foods one at a time—it’s the best way to navigate and pinpoint triggers on your journey.
