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.

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      My question I have proposed to the FDA through their website is why Prescription and OTC drug manufacturers are not required to list what binding ingredients were used to bine the drug? They list this on Capsules which are made of cellulose but not on pills? As it stands I or my pharmacist must contact the manufacturer to find out and my list is long from...

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
