Safe Canned Tuna Fish?

i had tuna for lunch (canned Geisha light chunk in water) and had to run to the bathroom not even 30 minutes later. only now am i checking the label and it says vegetable broth. i'm guessing this means i just glutened myself, right?

duh - i can't believe i didn't think to check the label. i mean, what else should be in tuna besides water or oil?

does anyone know if there are there any canned or packaged tuna fish brands out there than don't contain vegetable broth (or anything else glutenous)?

Chicken of the Sea is gluten-free, thats the brand I buy. The broth is made of soybeans.

I use Chicken of the Sea, Bumble Bee and StarKist.

Most of the time StarKist. You can also check out their websites (some flavors are not safe) I get the ones that are in water not oil.

I don't care to use mayo so I use gluten free cottage cheese instead.

I eat Trader Joe's Albacore. It's one of the few without soy.

I don't like mayo either so use olive oil and lemon pepper. So delicious. Capers and chives can jazz that combo up too :) I get the kind in water so my cats can have the juice.

I use lemon pepper also, but never tried with olive oil. My cat has to share the juice with the dog! :P

We have used Wegmans since it said gluten free and it was the cheapest the day I was at the store.

shoot shoot shoot!! i just got back from the store and totally forgot to get tuna! it was half the reason i went. darn it. now i have to go out again tomorrow night.

i've never heard of making tuna with cottage cheese. i imagine the texture would be odd and i'm not good with stuff like that. i might give it a try though because i know i should cut back on my mayo intake.

We get Bumblebee but in the pouch. We think it tastes better. No soy in it.

I have done that so many times -- go to the store to get something in particular and then get everything else but the one thing I really wanted <_<

I use the small curd cottage cheese and you just add in a little at a time till you get the amount you want can also add in relish or cut up celery. I like to make sandwiches (of course), wraps with corn tortillas or put it in a salad or gluten free noodles.

I'm not familiar with that brand, but it's almost certainly gluten-free. In fact, I've never heard of a brand that isn't. The vegetable broth is generally made of vegetables. In the U.S., the USDA requires that any grain in meat be listed, so whatever happened, there's almost no question it wasn't the tuna.

Please note: This is a very old thread. Product info from these posts should be re-checked as products change with time.

Read the ingredients. I don't eat canned tuna so I'm not sure what is in it. If it had no gluten ingredients, you may be reacting to something else.

Both those brands are definitely gluten-free.

      Chances of being coeliac

      By trents · Posted

      If this applies geographically, in the U.K., physicians will often declare a diagnosis of celiac disease based on the TTG-IGA antibody blood test alone if the score is 10x normal or greater, which your score is. There is very little chance the endoscopy/biopsy will contradict the antibody blood test.

      What was the reference range for that test? Each lab uses different reference ranges so a raw score like that makes it difficult to comment on. But it looks like a rather large number.

      I have had the tTG-IgA blood test my result are >250.0  I am waiting for the appointment with the gastroenterologist for endoscopy and biopsies.    what are the chances it’s not coeliacs.  waiting and not knowing is so hard. Especially the eating of gluten knowing it may be causing you more harm and coping with the symptoms.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @sleuth, Has your son been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  All of those symptoms can be caused by malnutrition.  I had severe malnutrition that went unrecognized by my doctors.  Intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, and gastrointestinal distress are symptoms of deficiencies in the eight essential B vitamins, especially Thiamine B1, which becomes low first because the demand is higher when we're sick.     Celiac Disease causes inflammation and damage of the intestinal lining which inhibits absorption of essential nutrients.  Checking for nutritional deficiencies is part of proper follow up care for people with celiac disease.   Is your son taking any vitamin supplements?  Most supplements contain thiamine mononitrate which in not readily absorbed and utilized by the body.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that is shown to promote intestinal healing.  Benfotiamine is available over the counter.  Benfotiamine is safe and nontoxic.   Is your son eating processed gluten-free foods?  Gluten-free processed foods are not required to be enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.   Is your son following a low histamine diet?  Histamine is released as part of the immune response to gluten and other foods high in histamine.  High levels of histamine in the brain can cause anxiety, insomnia, and depression.  The body needs the B vitamins to make the enzyme Diamine Oxidase (DAO) to break down and clear histamine.  DAO supplements are available over the counter.  Vitamin C helps clear histamine as well.  Some people find over the counter antihistamines helpful as well, but they're not for long term use.   Nicotine has antihistamine-like properties, but can also irritate the gut.  Tobacco, from which nicotine is derived, is a nightshade (like tomatoes, potatoes, peppers and eggplant).  Nightshades contain alkaloids which affect gastrointestinal permeability, causing leaky gut syndrome.  Nicotine can cause gastrointestinal irritation and alter for the worse the microbiome. Safer alternatives to Nicotine that have antihistamine properties include Lemon Balm (Sweet Melissa),  Passion Flower, Chamomile, and Bilberry.  They can be taken as supplements, extracts, or tea.  These will help with the anxiety, insomnia and depression in a much safer way. Oolong tea is also helpful.  Oolong tea contains the amino acid L-Theanine which helps the digestive tract heal.  (L -Theanine supplements are available over the counter, if not a tea drinker.)  Tryptophan, a form of Niacin B3, also helps calm digestive symptoms.  Another amino acid, L-Lysine, can help with anxiety and depression.  I've used these for years without problems.   What ways to cope have you tried in the past?
