Chicken

I just happened to notice that the raw chicken breasts I've been buying out of the meat case at the store (usually Tysons, but sometimes store-brand) are "minimally processed" with broth and "natural flavors". Does anyone know if this should be a concern? Is all fresh poultry prepared this way?

no, not all plain chicken is min.processed. I buy only natural organic chicken, nothing else added. When you get into to big processing companies like Tyson, Perdue & others they sometimes add ...if you have never had a free range chicken to eat do your self a favor & get one. The taste is so good & different from Tyson & others. You can tell the difference but of course they do cost more... hth

Just yesterday I had rotisserie chicken from the local grocery store, and pretty sure that it's the culprit to my symptoms today. Could it have been the seasonings?

It is gluten free.

Yes, unless you have verified that it is gluten free.

When chicken has broth added it is not uncommon for barley to be used as a flavoring agent. You should always verify that it is gluten free. As mentioned whole unprocessed chicken is safe. It's what's in the added broth that can get you.

Foster Farms is good. They don't inject or coat with anything. Costco sells giant bags of frozen Foster Farms chicken. The Safeway brand is just coated in salt water. Those are ok too.

I avoid anything coated or injected with broth after getting sick from eating our Thanksgiving turkey. If they're not going to disclose what's in the broth on the label, they don't get my money. When they decide to let me in on their 'little secret' (ie, ingredients) that might change. This means I do not buy frozen chicken from Fred Meyer because they don't sell any plain brothless frozen chicken there. Making endless product phone calls to corporations is just so tiring sometimes. <_< I mean, it's just chicken! Why should it have gluten? Chickens don't make gluten. And why the secrecy about the broth? All ingredients on all food packages should be fully disclosed. Period. The logic these companies use is beyond me.

In fact , it is uncommon, at least in the U.S.. I can't name one in the U.S. that does this. Can you? AND, as you've undoubtedly read here before, the USDA REQUIRES that any grain added to meat like this be clearly listed in the ingredients. Just read the label.

And as you have undoubtedly read here before, barley malt when used as a flavoring agent can be listed under just natural flavors and not disclosed. When grain is added as a FILLER it has to be declared but not when it is malted and used in small amounts as a flavoring.

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.

      @DebJ14, You said "husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation."   I don't think black seed oil is lowering inflammation.  It's lowering blood glucose levels. Black cumin seed lowers blood glucose levels.  There's a connection between high blood glucose levels and Afib.    Has your husband been checked for diabetes?   Must Read: Associations of high-normal blood pressure and impaired fasting glucose with atrial fibrillation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36750354/

      Healthy Omega Three fats.  Olive oil or flaxseed oil, oily fish, fatty cuts of meat.   Our bodies run much better on burning fats as fuel.  Diets based on carbohydrates require an increased amount of thiamine to process the carbs into fuel for the body.  Unfortunately, thiamine mononitrate is used to enrich rice.  Thiamine mononitrate is relatively unusable in the body.  So a high carb diet can further decrease thiamine stores in the body.  Insufficient thiamine in the body causes the body to burn body fat and muscle for fuel, so weight loss and muscle wasting occurs.  Those extra carbohydrates can lead to Candida (often confused with mold toxicity) and SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth).   Losing weight quickly is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  Muscle wasting is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  I lost sixty pounds in a month.   Having difficulty putting weight on and keeping it on is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.   The AIP diet works because it eliminates all grains and grasses, rice, quinoa, all the carbs.  Without the carbs, the Candida and SIBO get starved and die off.  Easy way to change your microbiome is to change what you feed it.  With the rowdy neighbors gone, the intestine can heal and absorb more nutrients.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals is beneficial.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing.  The eight B vitamins are water soluble, so if you don't need them, they can be gotten rid of easily.   Night shades are excluded on the AIP diet.  Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant are not allowed on the AIP diet.  They contain alkaloids that promote "a leaky gut".  Benfotiamine can help here. Sweet potatoes are avoided because they contain thiaminases, chemicals that break thiamine so that the body cannot use it.   The AIP diet has helped me.
