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.

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By cristiana · Posted

      Interesting, when I suffered for a few months with ectopics I noticed that carbohydrates would cause indigestion and bloating in my stomach, then that would lead to my heart skipping beats, and I could feel it in my throat, it was very unsettling.  My last serious bout of this was after eating a Muller Rice Pudding for breakfast.   I happened to be wearing a 48 hour halter at the time and cardiology picked it up, but they weren't worried about what they saw. There was some British doctor who'd made some videos on the Vagus nerve that I remember watching at the time which made sense of what I was experiencing, there did seem to be some sort of connection.

      I asked my cardiologist about stopping vitamins.  He said his tests account for all detectable vitamins from sources other than food.  I only need to stop them for a couple of days.  He has me keep records of meds and vitamins I've ingested over the past 10 days and prior and he does his calculations.

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By jessysgems · Posted

      Reply to treats I try and eat to bring up the glucose. Sometime I get up 3 times a night and eat something. I don't think food is the issue. A lot of the food they say should help doesn't.  Many mornings my level is 59 and I feel sick, sometimes for hours. It has been recommended I go to an Endocrinologist.
