Chicken Breasts

Hi, I think this may sound a l little crazy....I've been diagnosed with celiac and started following a gluten free diet around 7 wks ago.

I'm eating loads of fruit, vegaetable, brown rice and also cheap chicken breasts from a UK supermarket chain (sainsbury's), looking at the packaging it has no list of ingredients and I assumed it was 100% chicken.

I still feel really ill, no real signs of improvement, does anyone think it may be possible that it's been injected with water and wheat.

I'm beginning to sound a little paranoid but I can't think of anything else that may contain gluten that I'm mistakenly eating.

I'm beginning to think I should go 100% organic but the costs are quite high, many thanks, Hal

Not sure about the Chicken in the UK, sounds pretty unusual and would be in Hawaii. You have to be careful of cross contamination issues with kitchen utensils and cookware etc. cutting boards that were used for bread and not cleaned properly for example. Some things like mustards and other condiments might have some wheat. I got sick here once from milk used in a recipe. One wouldn't think milk contained wheat but some types here do.

Good luck

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.

      It's great to hear that eliminating gluten has helped alleviate symptoms like eye burning, which is a significant and positive change. The first and most important step is to ensure you're consuming enough protein throughout the day to support muscle repair and growth, which can be challenging with a busy schedule. Since you're already physically active at work, adding focused strength training just 2-3 times per week can make a major difference. Bodyweight exercises like squats, push-ups (modified if needed), and lunges, or using resistance bands at home, are excellent, efficient places to start. Remember, consistency with these short sessions and prioritizing post-workout recovery, including good sleep and hydration, are just as crucial as the workouts themselves. It's a smart, gradual process at any age.

      Trader Joe's carries a good variety of affordable gluten-free foods like bagels, hamburger buns, pasta, etc. I like Franz Gluten Free bread, which is available at my local Costco. Food For Life and Little Northern Bakehouse (advertisers here) also make excellent gluten-free breads. Costco also sells gluten-free pizzas, crackers, gravy, etc.
