I've been getting terrible stomaches lately and wondering if anyone knows if these products from Costco are gluten free...

Kirkland Signature Extra Lean Ham lunch meat

Kirkland chunk canned chicken breast

I wrote costco and never heard back.

Also in terms of spices

Old Bay? does anyone know if its Gluten free for sure.

Are there any spices that you stay away from or have caused stomach issues even if they should be gluten-free?

I've wondered if its soy or lactose but have cut out both for a few weeks seperate of each other and nothing changed so I'm now looking into all the foods I'm eating wondering if I'm getting contamination somewhere.

Thanks so much for any guidance anyone can provide!

Old Bay is gluten-free. Here's the link to the McCormick (company that owns Old Bay) FAQ question:

Open Original Shared Link

Also keep in mind that this only applies to the original Old Bay, not the variations (I contacted them about this last Fall to clarify).

I can vouch for the Kirkland canned chicken breast. I am pretty sensitive and have not been glutened by it. I've eaten many cans.

AmyNColorado.... my fellow Colorado carnivorous friend:

I literally buy both of those on my near-weekly Costco shopping trips. Rest assured, they are 100% gluten free.

I also wanted to let you know that one of the senior buyers in our Costco region is gluten intolerant. We have an ally in our court!

In fact, she was personally responsible for bringing Rudi's into our whole region -- as she saw this trend/demand coming a long time ago.

The Arvada Costco had it in the frozen section this past Saturday (2 pack). From my understanding (from the actual buyer at Costco) is that Rudi's is in ALL buildings in this particular region (CO, NM, AZ, UT, NV,& San Diego region).

I can get you the item number when I get home tonight and you can bring it up to the manager.

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
