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.

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
