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.

      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.
