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.

      Airborne Gluten?

      I can't prove it, but I truly believe I have been glutened by airborne particles. I used to take care of shelter cats once per week at a pet store, and no matter how careful I was, I would get glutened each time even if I wore a mask and gloves and washed up well after I was done. I believe the problem was that because I'm short, I couldn't do the the tasks...

      Recovery from gluten challenge

      I’m wondering if anyone has had any experience with the gluten challenge. My teenager completed a gluten challenge over the summer, it ended up being 10 weeks although she stopped being consistent eating gluten after 6. Her previous endoscopy was negative but this past August it was positive after the gluten challenge. If you have done the gluten challenge, ...

      By MogwaiStripe · Posted

I used to take care of shelter cats once per week at a pet store, and no matter how careful I was, I would get glutened each time even if I wore a mask and gloves and washed up well after I was done. I believe the problem was that because I'm short, I couldn't do the the tasks without getting my head and shoulders inside their cages, and so the particles from their food would be all over my hair and top of my shirt. Then I had to drive home, so even if I didn't get glutened right then, the particles would be in my car just waiting for me to get in the car so they could get blown into my face again. I gave up that volunteer gig and stopped getting glutened so often and at such regular intervals.

      Gluten Issues and Vitamin D

      Hello, @MogwaiStripe, Vitamin D is turned into its activated forms by Thiamine.  Thiamine deficiency can affect Vitamin D activation. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/14913223/ Thiamine deficiency affects HLA genes.  HLA genes code for autoimmune diseases like Celiac, Thyroiditis, Diabetes, etc.  Thiamine deficiency inside a cell triggers a toggle switch on the gene which in turn activates autoimmune diseases carried on the gene.  The reference to the study is in my blog somewhere.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll down to the drop down menu "Activities" and click on blogs.

      Airborne Gluten?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @annamarie6655, Yes, there's many of us who react to airborne gluten!   Yes, animal feed, whether for chickens or cats or dogs, can release airborne gluten.  I can get glutened from the bakery section at the grocery store.   The nose and mouth drain into the digestive system and can trigger systemic reactions.   I find the histamine release in response to airborne gluten will stuff up my sinuses and bother my eyes.  High histamine levels do cause anxiety and migraines.  The muscle spasms can be caused by high histamine, too.  The digestive system may not manifest symptoms without a higher level of gluten exposure.   Our bodies make an enzyme, DAO (diamine oxidase), to break down histamine.   Pyridoxine B 6, Cobalamine B12, Vitamin C, copper, zinc, and iron are needed to make DAO.  DAO supplements are available over the counter.  Taking a B Complex supplement and additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) helps reduce the amount of histamine being released.  Mast cells without sufficient Thiamine have an itchy trigger finger and release histamine at the slightest provocation.  Thiamine helps mast cells refrain from releasing their histamine.    I find taking additional TTFD thiamine helps immensely with neurological symptoms as TTFD can easily cross the blood brain barrier without a carrier.  High histamine in the brain can cause the muscle spasms, anxiety and migraines.  Vitamin C really helps with clearing histamine, too.   The Digiorno pizza mystery reaction could have been caused by a reaction to the cheese.  Some people develop lactose intolerance.  Others react to Casein, the protein in dairy, the same as if to gluten because Casein resembles the molecular structure of gluten.  An enzyme used in some dairy products, microbial transglutaminase, causes a gluten reaction because it is the same as the tissue transglutaminase our bodies make except microbes make it.  Those tTg IgA blood tests to diagnose celiac disease measure tissue transglutaminase our bodies release as part of the autoimmune response to gluten.   You're doing great!  A Sherlock Holmes award to you for figuring out the connection between airborne gluten and animal feed!!!

My teenager completed a gluten challenge over the summer, it ended up being 10 weeks although she stopped being consistent eating gluten after 6. Her previous endoscopy was negative but this past August it was positive after the gluten challenge. If you have done the gluten challenge, how long did it take you to feel back to normal? It took about two months before she got “glutened” again but now she’s having difficult coming back from that and has a lot of fatigue. I’m hoping someone has some advice!
