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.

      Hi Jmartes, It sure is difficult to get useful advice from medical providers. Almost 20 years ago a Dr suggested that I might have Celiacs and I took a Celiac Panel blood test. No gluten challenge diet. On that test the tTG was in normal range but an alpha antibody was very high. I went online and read about celiac disease and saw how I could investigate...

      Airborne Gluten?

      I can't prove it, but I truly believe I have been glutened by airborne particles. I used to take care of shelter cats once per week at a pet store, and no matter how careful I was, I would get glutened each time even if I wore a mask and gloves and washed up well after I was done. I believe the problem was that because I'm short, I couldn't do the the tasks...

She is more concerned about my blood pressure that is caused by her presence than anything else and just wants to push pills at me. The so-called dermatologist wouldn't do a skin test. she prescribed all of these silly antihistamine skin meds. This lady didn't even know what she was talking about and said "they never turn out as celiac, they usually just say it's dermatitis so here's your meds," just like my regular quack. I'm trying to change insurance companies at the moment and that has been a battle because of red tape, wrong turns, and workers having wrong phone numbers. What a joke! The allergy blood days say I have a wheat allergy of .31. Hopefully it's just that and until I find a decent doctor and dermatologist, I'll just lay off the wheat anyway, since it gives me asthma, high blood sugar, and joint pain. So frustrated at this point. The rash on my back of arms/elbows is mostly gone. Both calves and chest have started up. smh. It comes and goes. It fades faster now, though, although my forearms still produce one or two bumps on each side. The itching has calmed down a lot except for the bump area. I have dry skin to begin with so anything affecting it just makes it crazy. i'm never going to eat wheat again. I don't care if they need it to produce results or if it is just an intolerance, allergy, or celiac. It gives me hell.

      I had the test done by one of the specialist through second pcp I had only a few months because he was saying I wasn't.Even though Im positive HLA-DQ2 .My celiac is down played.I am with new pcp, seeing another girl doctor who wants to do another breathe test next month though Im positive sibo this year.I have high blood pressure not sure if its pain from sciatica or sibo, ibs or hidden gluten. Im in disability limbo and I should have never been a bus driver because im still suffering and trying to heal with zero income except for my husband. This isnt fare that my health is dictating my living and having ti beg for being revalidation of my disregarded celiac disease. Its an emotional roller coaster I don't want to be on and the medical made it worse.New pcp new gi, exhausted, tired and really fed up. GI doctor NOT girl..

      Hi Jmartes, It sure is difficult to get useful advice from medical providers. Almost 20 years  ago a Dr suggested that I might have Celiacs and I took a Celiac Panel blood test. No gluten challenge diet. On that test the tTG was in normal range but an alpha antibody was very high. I went online and read about celiac disease and saw how I could investigate this low tTG and still have celiac disease. Normal tTG can happen when a person had been reacting for many years. Another way is that the person has not been eating enough gluten to raise the antibody level. Another reason is that the tTG does not show up on a blood but may show up on a fecal test. Almost all Celiacs inherit at least one of the 2 main Celiac genes. I had genetic tests for the Celiac genes at Enterolab.com. I inherited one main Celiac gene from one parent and the report said that the DQ gene I inherited from my other parent, DQ6, could cause a person to have more problems or symptoms with that combination. One of my grandmother's had fairly typical symptoms of Celiacs but the other grandmother had severe food intolerances. I seem to show some problems inherited from both grandmothers. Human physiology is very complex and researchers are just beginning to understand how different body systems interact.  If you have taken an autosomal DNA test you can download your raw data file and upload it to Prometheuw.com for a small fee and search for Celiac Disease. If you don't find any Cekiac genes or information about Celiac disease  you may not have autoimmune gluten intolerance because more than 99% of Celiacs have one or both of these genes.  PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS IF YOU WANT TO KNOW EHAT i HAVE DONE TO HELP WITH SYMPTOMS.

I used to take care of shelter cats once per week at a pet store, and no matter how careful I was, I would get glutened each time even if I wore a mask and gloves and washed up well after I was done. I believe the problem was that because I'm short, I couldn't do the the tasks without getting my head and shoulders inside their cages, and so the particles from their food would be all over my hair and top of my shirt. Then I had to drive home, so even if I didn't get glutened right then, the particles would be in my car just waiting for me to get in the car so they could get blown into my face again. I gave up that volunteer gig and stopped getting glutened so often and at such regular intervals.

      Gluten Issues and Vitamin D

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @MogwaiStripe, Vitamin D is turned into its activated forms by Thiamine.  Thiamine deficiency can affect Vitamin D activation. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/14913223/ Thiamine deficiency affects HLA genes.  HLA genes code for autoimmune diseases like Celiac, Thyroiditis, Diabetes, etc.  Thiamine deficiency inside a cell triggers a toggle switch on the gene which in turn activates autoimmune diseases carried on the gene.  The reference to the study is in my blog somewhere.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll down to the drop down menu "Activities" and click on blogs.
