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 @KathyR37 and a very warm welcome here. I am so very sorry that you are going through all of this. I just wanted to check, have you ever been tested for any other gastrointestinal conditions? Cristiana

      @KathyR37, I would suspect that in addition to gluten intolerance, you have other food intolerances/sensitivities. This is very common in the celiac community. The most common offenders are oats, dairy, soy, corn and eggs with dairy and oats being the big two. Have you considered this? Have you tried keeping a food diary to detect patterns?

      thank you for your advice. I have always taken them and I use Stonehedge because they are in a glass bottle, but don't have to be refrigerated. I also like they are 3rd party tested and state gluten free. But you never know if something better has come alone over the years.

      Thank you for your response. I have already learned about the info you sent but i appreciate your effort. I am the only one in my family cursed by this disease. I have to cook for them too. I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem...

      Thank you for your response. I have already learned about the info you sent but i appreciate your effort. I am the only one in my family cursed by this disease. I have to cook for them too. I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and  gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem I have is a gag reflex out of this world and if something doesn't taste good it is not going down. Most commercially made breads and such taste like old cardboard.Pastas are about the same. I did find one flour that I like and use it regularly, but it is so expensive! All gluten free food is way more expensive. I only eat twice a day because I cannot afford to buy all that. We live on a very low income so my food purchases are quite limited.

      What you've described—the severe weight loss, the cycle of medications making things worse, and the profound fear of eating before leaving the house—is a heavy burden to carry for 15 years. It is absolutely not your fault. While everyone's journey with celiac is different, the struggles with the learning curve, social isolation, and dietary grief are feelings many in the community know all too well. Your question about whether you should just eat what you want and manage the symptoms is a heartbreaking one, born from years of frustration. It's crucial to know that the diarrhea is a sign of ongoing damage to your small intestine from gluten, and simply managing the symptom with Imodium doesn't stop that internal harm or the risk of other complications. The fact that you are still getting sick within an hour of eating, even while trying to be gluten-free, is a huge red flag that something isn't right. This could be due to cross-contamination in your kitchen (e.g., using a shared toaster, colander, or condiment jars), hidden gluten in foods, or the possibility of another concurrent condition like refractory celiac disease. Don't give up!  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
