Meat - Do I Need To Check To Make Sure It's gluten-free?

So I've been humming along feeling pretty confident in the new lifestyle and my ability to know gluten-free from not-gluten-free. Then my mom asked me this morning if she needed to buy a specific brand of pork tenderloin for dinner this evening. Uh oh. :( I haven't been checking meat at all - we buy only "plain" meat, not marinated or anything. Should I be checking on meat??

Plain meat, chicken, pork, (etc) should be fine. The concern comes when it is marinated.

Yes, plain meat is ok. But the breading is a no no and any meat with marinate or BBQ sauce should always be checked. Even seasonings should be checked. Others have listed that I believe Kraft lists gluten on the label, not too sure about the others. Good luck with any future meat meals. ;)

Raw meat is extremely easy. If a manufacturer adds anything with any grain in it, that grain must by USDA law be clearly listed. All you have to do is read the ingredients.

OK, I feel better. If I'd taken time to not panic and thought for a second I'd have figured it out...I'd have still second guessed myself, but I'd still have figured it out! I want people to ask me before they give him things, but sometimes it makes me worry that I've missed something. :o Thanks for the quick responses.

Make sure you check the ingredients of any deli meat, I have run across a few that have wheat.

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      By cristiana · Posted

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Flash1970 · Posted

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.
