Help Finding gluten-free Turkey Breast To Roast.

I tried two local supermarkets yesterday and didn't find a turkey breast (to roast, not deli) I felt safe buying. One that is listed in my Cecelia's Gluten-Free book has modified food starch and didn't specify what was in it. Any suggestions? I shop in the Syracuse, NY area and that includes Auburn and Skaneateles.

Thanks.

I would go to a Wegmans in your area. There should be one somewhere close by. Their meat dept is very helpful about checking their items. That's where I usually get my bird.

Jennie-O has a list of gluten free turkey products here:

Just scroll down, it's close to the bottom of the page.

Good Luck!

If you don't want self-basting or "injected" for other reasons that's fine, but I don't know of ANY unstuffed turkeys that have gluten and every time I ask for folks to name ones they've found WITH gluten -- as I'll do again now -- all I get is silence. IOW, turkeys are generally safe. Jenny-O, Butterball, Marval and on and on. Your turkey with MFS would say wheat if it were wheat, and you simply aren't going to find modified barley or rye starch.

Apparently the HoneyBaked Turkeys are now gluten free. Something they were not last year. You actually replied to that post. Your reply is quoted below. Obviously your insistance that all are gluten-free and you have never heard of one that isn't is not accurate.

Honeybaked Ham/turkey Is Now Gluten Free!

https://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/index.php?showtopic=63669

"Here's what the HB website FAQ says when you go to look at ingredients:

* You are now free to enjoy any of our signature meats (HoneyBaked Ham, Sliced & Glazed Turkey, HoneyBaked Deli Style Boneless Ham) without wheat gluten.

The ingredients used to clearly list wheat. Now the wheat is gone. "

I think Richard was referring to "raw uncooked turkeys", the kind folks spend hours roasting for TG. :D Raw meat containing gluten should be clearly labeled.

I'd consider the "HoneyBaked" turkey product a "lunch meat" or a type of "prepared meat", and there's lots of posts about prepared meats/lunch meat--many of them contain gluten.

I went to Wegman's yesterday and found a fresh turkey breast that is nothing but turkey and water. It is their brand and I found a small breast for under $12. An employee from the butcher shop was stocking turkeys and I asked him just for further information. He said it was nothing but turkey. I really am fortunate to live in Wegman's country. I did some regular shopping and enjoyed the number of their own labels that are marked gluten free. I have heard that someone in the Wegman family has celiac disease and I guess that is why they are so celiac friendly.

Yea they're a great company. I also heard that they have a celiac in the family. One thing I really like is they don't consider all distilled vinegars gluten-free. I am one of the unfortunate folks that reacts to distilled gluten grains and I was really happy when they started labeling their safe ones. If I ever relocate I'll decide where by doing a search for all their locations. :D

I don't know if you have a Giant in your area or not - I just went shopping with my mom and all of their Giant Quality turkeys were self-basting, etc, but marked Gluten Free and MSG Free. And those were the type you get for free afte 300 shopping points :)

I was indeed speaking of raw uncooked turkeys, not something like the Honeybaked turkeys. As I said, I've yet to find one that has gluten.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Have faith, you will survive. I get mine from Pipingrock.com.  500 capsules of 10,000 IU for $22.  That is almost two years worth for me.  250 caps 5000 IU for $6.69 if you only take 5,000 a day.  It's like half the price of Walmart.

      Outgrow celiac?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well as between migraine without aura and ulcerative colitis...this study did not find evidence of a shared genetic basis..." Anyway, there is definitely a connection, and you can go through more of the articles here if you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By SusanJ · Posted

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.
