Lately whenever I eat chicken (dark or white meat) i get indigestion. I do have a parasite issue/gastritis i am trying to resolve but i dont have as much trouble with other meats..even beef. for some reason its always chicken that causes the problem. I hope im not developing a chicken allergy...its really the easiest safest meat to eat and is my primary source of protein

I guess my questions would be the obvious ones. Is this chicken you are fixing for yourself at home? Is there any other kind of ingredient that is common? Or are you talking about plain, no other ingredient, grilled or baked chicken? What about the spray-on oil? Some brands have wheat in them! Even roasted chickens you buy at the stores need to be monitored for added glutens. KFC Grilled Chicken has wheat flour on it. I have not encountered, but have read others here in this forum say that some raw chicken brands need to be investigated or questioned. Perhaps your problems is something like this....not really the chicken itself but something they are doing to the chicken. I hope you find your problem and its not the chicken. Our choices are limited enough, without taking away such a vital source!

How do you make it?

For some reason, panfrying chicken breast ... it just doesn't sit well with me. I can do chicken in pretty much any other way, but just straight up pan-fried chicken...

What ways have you tried cooking it?

Does it happen no matter what you do?

What else is there besides chicken? (I mean anything - salt, oil, pepper, etc.)

Do you eat anything with the chicken? (Again, anything - cold water, a vegetable, etc.)

Lately whenever I eat chicken (dark or white meat) i get indigestion.

I experienced the same problem from time to time. It's been a mystery I've never quite figured out. The best I could do was associate it with which brand chicken I was buying. The strongest association seemed to be with generic chicken sold by the grocery store where I shop. That chicken would be in clear shrink-wrap with a price tag, nothing more. The non-store brands would also cause indigestion from time to time. The only alternative that seemed fairly safe was the non-generic store chicken which was in shrink-wrap that had the store's name and logo along with decoration and verbiage. Sounds flaky but that's the best I could sort it out.

Lately, the store has been carrying Wild Harvest organic chicken and I have had no problem with that.

Other than the suggestion of trying different brands/sources of chicken, the only other suggestion would be rigorous attention to cleanliness as well as thorough cooking. That includes fanatical hand-washing after touching the chicken and before touching anything else and separation of utensils, etc. during preparation.

BTW, if you figure anything out, please post. I'd be very interested.

Yes, I have had that problem. I think that chickens roll around in their feed too much. I do much better if I wash it carefully first.

Chickens rolling in their feed? You do realize that chickens are plucked and thoroughly washed after they're killed? Anyway, washing chicken before cooking is generally a good idea.

My chickens never roll in anything. Only their feet and their mouths touch the food.

Maybe something that's used to preserve the chicken is bothering you. I know they do add stuff. Buy organic if you can - even Smart Chicken (regular or organic). They use a different process.

I've been getting local, free-range chickens. Butchered fresh, nothing added. That's not an option for everyone, I understand.

I just had food intolerance testing done, and I had a severe intolerance of chicken! Crazy I know...because I eat a lot of it. But that helped explain why I still feel sick all the time after eliminating gluten and dairy.

Have you ever tried buffalo? They actually sell it at walmart now. It is very good for you because there are federal laws against it being treated with antibiotics (unlike cows)! Its really good, I actually prefer it over beef now. And it is a good source of protein as well.

      Hi Charlie, You sound like you have been having a rough time of it. Coeliac disease can cause a multitude of skin, mouth and throat problems. Mouth ulcers and enamel defects are well known but other oral conditions are also more common in people with coeliac disease: burning tongue, inflamed and swollen tongue, difficulty swallowing, redness and crusting in the mouth corners, and dry mouth to name but some. The link below is for paediatric dentistry but it applies to adults too.  Have you had follow up for you coeliac disease to check that your anti-tTG2 antibodies levels have come down? Are you certain that you not being exposed to significant amounts of gluten? Are you taking a PPI for your Barrett's oesophagus? Signs of changes to the tongue can be caused by nutritional deficiencies, particularly iron, B12 and B9 (folate) deficiency. I would make sure to take a good quality multivitamin every day and make sure to take it with vitamin C containing food - orange juice, broccoli, cabbage etc.  Sebaceous hyperplasia is common in older men and I can't find a link to coeliac disease.   Russ.   Oral Manifestations in Pediatric Patients with Coeliac Disease – A Review Article

      Hi @Charlie1946 You are very welcome.   I agree wholeheartedly with @knitty kitty:  "I wish doctors would check for nutritional deficiencies and gastrointestinal issues before prescribing antidepressants." I had a type of tingling/sometimes pain in my cheek about 2 years after my diagnosis.  I noticed it after standing in cold wind, affecting  me after the event - for example, the evening after standing outside, I would feel either tingling or stabbing pain in my cheek.   I found using a neck roll seemed to help, reducing caffeine, making sure I was well-hydrated, taking B12 and C vitamins and magnesium.  Then when the lockdowns came and I was using a facemask I realised that this pain was almost entirely eliminated by keeping the wind off my face.  I think looking back I was suffering from a type of nerve pain/damage.  At the time read that coeliacs can suffer from nerve damage caused by nutritional deficiencies and inflammation, and there was hope that as bodywide healing took place, following the adoption of a strict gluten free diet and addressing nutritional deficiencies, recovery was possible.   During this time, I used to spend a lot of time outdoors with my then young children, who would be playing in the park, and I'd be sheltering my face with an upturned coat collar, trying to stay our of the cold wind!  It was during this time a number of people with a condition called Trigeminal Neuralgia came up to me and introduced themselves, which looking back was nothing short of miraculous as I live in a pretty sparsely populated rural community and it is quite a rare condition.   I met a number of non-coeliacs who had suffered with this issue  and all bar one found relief in taking medication like amitriptyline which are type of tricyclic anti-depressant.   They were not depressed, here their doctors had prescribed the drugs as pain killers to address nerve pain, hence I mention here.  Nerve pain caused by shingles is often treated with this type of medication in the UK too, so it is definitely worth bearing in mind if standard pain killers like aspirin aren't working.
