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.

I thought for sure caned tuna would be ok..I tried it on gluten free bread and got sick, tried it plain..no mayo, plain..and I got sick..Tried chicken of the Sea, and I tried Starkist and I got sick..tried it w/ water..no oil, got sick!! Im playing it safe from now on..NO canned fish of any kind..

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.

      Could this be a new intolerance

      @Celiacpartner, I agree with Scott. We have a food festival yearly in the town I live in, with artisan food stalls everywhere. I spoke to the owner of one of the artisan burger stalls, enquiring if the burgers were gluten-free when I said I was Coeliac ... he said he had a serious anaphylactic allergy to fish himself. He possibly carries an epi-pen or...

      Could this be a new intolerance

      After years of stable management, developing new symptoms to historically safe foods like nuts and fish strongly suggests a secondary issue has developed. It is highly unlikely to be a new gluten issue if the foods themselves are certified gluten-free. The most probable explanations are a new, separate food intolerance (perhaps to a specific protein in certain...

      Could this be a new intolerance

      Nuts are a common source of food allergy reaction/intolerance/sensitivity. But fish usually not. Of course, intolerances can develop to any food, whether or not they are common ones. I'm at a loss here.

      Gluten exposure when trying to conceive

      Your doctor's recommendation to wait three months is very sound and aligns with general advice for celiac disease. While the acute GI symptoms resolve quickly, the autoimmune response and intestinal inflammation can linger, impairing nutrient absorption crucial for early fetal development. This three-month window allows your body to calm the immune response...

      Could this be a new intolerance

      He’s noticed it after having a few different kinds of nuts and nuts on top of a gluten free nut bar. and it’s happened after having some fresh caught fish, and tonight from packaged plain salmon from the supermarket. He has stomach cramps and feels the need to vomit to try and relieve the symptoms.

      After years of stable management, developing new symptoms to historically safe foods like nuts and fish strongly suggests a secondary issue has developed. It is highly unlikely to be a new gluten issue if the foods themselves are certified gluten-free. The most probable explanations are a new, separate food intolerance (perhaps to a specific protein in certain nuts or fish) or a true IgE-mediated food allergy, which can develop at any age. The symptoms you describe—cramps and the urge to vomit—can be consistent with either. It is crucial he sees an allergist for proper testing (like a skin prick or blood test) to identify the specific culprit and rule out a serious allergy, as reactions can sometimes worsen with repeated exposure.

While the acute GI symptoms resolve quickly, the autoimmune response and intestinal inflammation can linger, impairing nutrient absorption crucial for early fetal development. This three-month window allows your body to calm the immune response and for your gut to fully heal, ensuring you are in the best possible nutritional health for conception and pregnancy. In the meantime, focus on hydrating, eating nourishing, easily digestible foods, and resting—your body needs time to recover. It's a frustrating delay, but it's the best step for a healthy pregnancy.
