Has anyone gotten sick from cold cuts that are sliced at the deli?

I won't buy meats sliced at the deli. Too much risk of crosscontamination. Some of the glazes on other meats like hams can contain gluten. Applegate Farms, Boar's Head, Hormel Natural Choice, and Welshire Farms all state on their websites that they are gluten free. Jenny O also has some gluten free meats. Check their website to see which ones. I beleive Oscar Meyer is also. Check their website to confirm. I rarely eat lunch meats or sandwiches. I just stick to peanut butter and jelly or tuna.

You do need to avoid the deli. As stated the risk of CC is very high. Even if the slicer is wiped down between uses it still has captured 'debis' inside the blade guards etc. I used to work in a deli and one of my jobs at closing was cleaning the slicer. Frankly it was disgusting.

There are a lot of prepackaged lunch meats available so it just isn't worth the risk.

I only buy Hormel Naturals. There with the presliced meats not the deli. They have no nitrites, trates or gluten and are delicious. I eat the ham for breakfast every day.

      Thiamine interacts with all the other B vitamins.  Thiamine and B 6 make a very important enzyme together. With more thiamine and other vitamins available from the supplements your body is absorbing the ones you need more of.  The body can control which vitamins to absorb or not.  You're absorbing more and it's being transported through the blood.   It's common to have both a Thiamine and a Pyridoxine deficiency.  Keep taking the B Complex. This is why it's best to stop taking supplements for six to eight weeks before testing vitamin levels.

      Yes I took a supplement that had B6 in it, low dosage though. I've stopped taking that. B1 doesn't affect other B vitamin levels?

      Have you tried lip balm made from tallow?  It's been used for thousands of years and works better than those with waxes. I prefer Vintage Traditions brand tallow balm products.

      Are you taking a B 6 supplement or a supplement containing B 6 like a B Complex?  Do you have pins and needles in your toes?   Don't worry about the thiamine being high.  The blood is a transport system that carries thiamine to the cells so they can store it.  It's fine.

      Quick question, had some blood tests done again and once again my zinc was too low but now ofcourse my B1 was too high and so was my B6. The doc said to  immediately  stop all supplements that contain B6. Can using thiamine raise the levels of B6 too?
