Walmart Chicken Breats?


ChopperT

Recommended Posts

We recently noticed that the Great Value chicken breasts no longer state that they are gluten free. The little chicken wings do.

Anyone know why this is?

Any good recommendations for chicken breasts? I'm pretty sure Purdue is gluten-free, any others? We have only Walmart, Target, Publix, and Sweetbay in the immediate area. We are extremely budget conscious, which is why we enjoyed the Great Value chicken.

Thanks!

I buy those all the time and haven't had any problems. I've noticed since their new packaging, many of the things that said gluten-free no longer does. I don't know why other than perhaps since the US doesn't have clear guidelines for stating things are gluten-free, perhaps by not saying it gives them less worry about sue-happy people claiming they were glutened by something claiming to be gluten-free. It's so hard for us to know ourselves exactly what glutens us at times and a big company like Walmart is an easy target sometimes. Perhaps someone should call and find out why the labeling changes.

I noticed there is "chicken broth" on the ingredients label. Don't remember that ever being there before. Could have been, though. I ended up paying several dollars more for the only bag without broth or other additives.

I can't guarantee this, but the broth was almost certainly there before. The chicken almost certainly is the same as before, but Walmart has decided to stop putting gluten-free on things pending some sort of ruling as to what constitutes gluten-free. I have yet to find a raw unflavored (meaning no spices or sauces added) chicken that has gluten. I'd buy it without hesitation.

It's not the first GV product to have the gluten-free label removed, and I don't think it will be the last either. I don't know why they're doing it, but they are. I've always used Tyson chicken breasts without problems.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.
