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.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions...

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!
