Roasted Chicken From The Grocery Store... Sigh...

So... my quick dinner after a long day is to buy two of those roasted chickens from the grocery store (two because I'm feeding teenagers, and then I have some leftovers). Mashed potatoes. Salad. Done. sigh... I didn't even think about it last night in terms of gluten. However, later when I got all those familiar gluten reactions :blink: (I'll leave the TMI stuff out, lol...) I checked the label. There are three kinds: "bourbon", "oven-roasted", and "honey". Only the honey had wheat listed. The one I bought didn't say any of those three on the label. Just said "chicken". However, clearly I either got a "honey" one or it's the same basic sauce that they use back there in the kitchen. -- Now I'm wondering if I'll be able to eat the plain chicken if I take off the skin. I'm going to try and see what happens.

So, when will I learn to READ ALL THE LABELS?!?!?!?! -- Okay, I will read all labels, I will read all labels, I will read all labels.... (I thought I had been really good with reading, but things like the chicken just didn't occur to me.) :ph34r:

Please don't risk the store bought roasters. Buy fresh and get a crock pot or have one of the teens put the seasoned one you left in the fridge in the oven an hour before you get home. I hope you are feeling better soon.

Excellent idea! They're eating all the food, let them do some cooking. lol... It didn't actually occur to me for two reasons. One, I hate to cook. And two, we haven't had a working oven until just two weeks ago. But, we just got a new stove/oven! woot! Now I just need to actually start using it. But you're right, I know it's easy to roast a chicken. And cheaper too, I'm sure. -- I really need to buckle down and do more cooking. And baking. B)

Glad you got the oven replaced. I couldn't live without mine. Those teens of yours may balk at first about learning to and having to cook but they will be thankful in their later years.

It sounds as if the plain chickens have a pretty high risk of cross-contamination if other chickens are cooked with gluteny sauce in the same place. As suggested by ravenwoodglass, I wouldn't eat this - even after removing the skin :/ A pain, I know.

I'm living in a barracks right now and I've been eating the roasted chicken from the grocery store and I have found if I buy it from a higher end grocery store (Like Vons or Shaws) and stick to the lemon or garlic one- no sauces- I don't get symptoms. And I'm pretty sensitive. If I had a choice, I'd cook my own, but when I'm desperate, the roasted chicken seems to be ok.

HA HA!! You're a chicken! I was really afraid the first couple of times, but I read the label really carefully (not that that always matters) and I just went for it... I was pretty hungry and very very sick of tuna!

I don't know where you live but Whole Foods market does rotisserie chickens and they have one which is plain with no salt. The plain ones always are roasted on the top racks so there will not be any CC from the ones with seasonings and sauces. I have had 2 of these and nary any kind of reaction at all. I am about as sensitive a Celiac as they come and always react to even the most minute amounts of gluten and haven't had a problem with these.

I think it really depends on where you buy the chicken from. Whole Foods does most of their business from a food sensitivity perspective and carries many specialty foods for allergic/intolerant folks so understand the CC issue pretty well. Mainstream supermarkets do not, for the most part.

I do well with the Whole Foods chickens too.

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Is this celiac?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.
