Fresh Meats?

So my boyfriend has been dying to show me that he can make me a safe gluten-free meal. We spent over an hour at Wal-Mart last night reading labels. We love eating grilled meat, but I was having the hardest time finding any that I knew were safe. All the fresh steaks and such said that they contained broth. I don't know if that's safe or not. I literally couldn't find any steaks that I knew were fresh. Are these fresh steaks usually considered gluten-free? I don't know how to go about buying meat anymore. This is frustrating.

If they contain broth, there should be a manufacturer's phone number somewhere on the label. You'll want to call it and ask if the broth has gluten in it. Usually there's someone who has a clue, since a lot of celiac's have to call to find out. You might try a search and see if anyone else has called and knows a safe brand. Sorry this isn't more helpful, I usually grab my meats from my local grocery store, and they know what to look for, since they see me regularly.

Fresh meats and vegetables don't have to list allergens (Why? That is so ridiculous!), so call or ask. Perdue chicken has a list on their web site, and you can always go to the store's web site to see if they have a list of their store-brand items that are gluten-free. That's why I spend a little extra money and go to my local meat market; it's meat, no fillers, broth, or junk to change the taste of my food!! :)

No need to be confused and please ignore the past answers - at least for the U.S.

Fresh meat MUST list anything that adds nutritional value, and that includes ANY grain --wheat, rye, barley. This is a USDA rule that is much older than the allergen rule and has nothing to do with it. If it's not listed in the meat, it's gluten-free. Period. No further discussion.

      Help with genetic testing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The genetic testing results you provided indicate that your child carries two copies of the HLA-DQ2.5 beta chain (DQ Beta 1 *02:01, *02:01), which is a high-risk genetic marker for celiac disease. However, the alpha chain (DQ Alpha 1 *05:01, *05) is only partially present, as HLA-DQ2.5 typically requires the alpha chain *05:01 paired with the beta chain 02:01. Since your child has two copies of the beta chain (02:01) but only one full *05:01 alpha allele (the other appears truncated as *05), this suggests they are heterozygous for HLA-DQ2.5 rather than homozygous. The term "permissive for celiac disease" means your child has genetic susceptibility but not necessarily the highest-risk genotype (homozygous DQ2.5). Since celiac disease development also depends on environmental triggers and other factors, further testing (such as antibody screening or biopsy) may be needed to confirm a diagnosis. Consulting a genetic counselor or gastroenterologist can help clarify these results and next steps.

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      By DebJ14 · Posted

      As my doctor said, you don't have to eat breakfast food for breakfast.  I may have a leftover piece of chicken and left over squash or eggs or I am actually more likely to skip breakfast as I do intermittent fasting.  In that case I eat lunch around 11:30 and have some guacamole and a salad with chicken or tuna.  For dinner I have pork, shrimp, chicken, lamb, or turkey with half a baked sweet potato and some broccoli, green beans, beets, carrots or cauliflower.  I do not eat any grains on the advice of my doctor.  I do not eat commercially processed products, even if they say they are gluten-free.  I make Warrior Bread every few weeks.  It has no yeast and contains almond flour and dried sweet potato.  Very tasty too.  A good book to help in this regard is No Grain, No Pain by Peter Osborne.  Thankfully, I can eat coconut and nuts and use those flours in baking and also use nut milks in cooking.  Since I am allergic to chocolate and vanilla, lemon is my go to flavor for something sweet.  My migraines totally disappeared once I went gluten and casein free.  I can occasionally eat certain high fat cheeses that are low in casein, as well as grass fed butter.  I use lots of Organic Olive and Avocado oil. The problems I thought I had with nightshades went away when I went fully organic.  And, the rest of my issues went away by avoiding the foods I tested positive to as well as avoiding all grains. I will be the first one to say that it is a very expensive way of eating, but thankfully we can afford to eat that way.  The good news is that I take no prescription meds at age 72.  At 54 before diagnosis, I was a mess and on a boatload of pharmaceuticals.
