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

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.

      Natural remedies

      While it's always important to approach internal use of essential oils with caution and ideally under the guidance of a qualified professional, your experience highlights the potential of complementary approaches when traditional medicine falls short. Many in the community are also interested in the intersection of natural wellness and gluten-free living, particularly for managing systemic inflammation and its various symptoms, so sharing your story is valuable. Your observation that it may also be helping with bloating is fascinating, as that could point to an overall reduction in inflammation. Thank you for sharing what is working for you!
