Hormel Natural Choice Lunch Meat

I started having heartburn about midnight last night. I decided to see if I could sleep it off (it was mild last night). This morning it is terrible! The only thing new I had was Hormel Natural Choice smoked turkey. It says it's gluten-free, so I don't think it's a gluten problem. It also says no dairy in the lactic acid starter. Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem with it. Urgh. This is why I hardly ever buy lunch meat.

Here are the ingredients:

Turkey Breast Meat, Water, Salt, Potato Starch, Turbinado Sugar, Rice Starch, Carrageenan (from seaweed), Baking Soda, Natural Flavoring, Lactic Acid Starter Culture (not from Milk).

Could it be the carrageenan? or the "natural flavoring"? I wonder what THAT is?

I had it on some Rudi's bread with a big salad. I know the bread isn't a problem because I have had it before (slices from the same loaf earlier this week toasted with peanut butter). This IS my second day eating salad in row, however. I usually try to space out my raw veggie consumption to every other day at most as they can be hard on my tummy, but i have not had a problem with them for a while now. Did I just over do it on the veggies? I don't want to cook darn it!! It's in the mid to upper 90's here again today! thanks for reading my rant. :ph34r::P

We eat it at my house all the time. I do have an issue with too much salad. Especially in the first 6 months gluten-free.

Try eating it by itself or try the plain turkey, not smoked.

Thanks Karen. I've been gluten free for a year and half now. I had more trouble with too many raw veggies in the beginning. I thought I was over it but I guess not. I do usually much on carrots and other raw veggies a few tiems a week but I guess two days in a row of eating salad (for lunch AND dinner) did me in.

I buy the Hormel Natural Choice all the time and I've never had a problem with it. Hope you figure it out so you can avoid what ever caused it..

Carrageenan is a seaweed. I've read online that it can be a problem for people with stomach issues. I personally am avoiding it until I can figure all my food issues out. Their sliced ham doesn't have it. I think the chicken chunks don't, but you'd have to double check.

      celiac, chocolate and alcohol

      By barb simkin · Posted

      I have had a reaction to chocolate within 2 hours, severe abrupt dieherra.  With alcohol it can extend up to 12 hrs before the first reaction, but not as severe as chocolate.  I am also allergic to all fish and carry an epihpen.

      Neuropathy still after 4 months gluten-free.. help

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the forum @oyea, have you ever been screened for celiac disease? You symptoms sound like they could be celiac disease related.

      celiac, chocolate and alcohol

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Since chocolate has a laxative/stimulant effect on the digestive system, similar to coffee, some people do report IBS-like symptoms when they eat it, however, as long as the chocolate is gluten-free, the cause of such symptoms would be unrelated to celiac disease.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Since those with celiac disease have a much higher change of having or getting additional autoimmune diseases it could definitely affect your health insurance rates. Prior to the Affordable Care Act (ACA), individuals with celiac disease could indeed be charged significantly higher premiums for private health insurance or even be denied coverage altogether, as it was a pre-existing condition that insurers could medically underwrite. The ACA's protections, which prohibit denying coverage or charging higher premiums based on health status, eliminated this practice, ensuring people with celiac disease could not be penalized financially for their diagnosis. However, this protection is not inherently permanent and is tied directly to the ACA's continued existence and enforcement; should the law be substantially weakened or repealed in the future, it is possible that a return to medical underwriting could once again allow insurers to charge individuals with pre-existing conditions like celiac disease higher premiums for their health coverage.

      is my celiac disease gone?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      @Jmartes71, your story is a powerful and heartbreaking testament to the profound failure of the medical system to understand and properly manage celiac disease and its long-term consequences. Being dismissed and medically gaslit for three decades after an initial diagnosis is an unimaginable burden that has cost you your health, your career, and your sense of justice. The fact that a primary care physician of 25 years would offer to "fluff up" a disability claim rather than properly advocate for you based on a well-documented history is a devastating betrayal. While the positive HLA-DQ2 test offers a sliver of validation, it is infuriating that it isn't enough to end the fight, and it is completely understandable that you find this ongoing battle for basic belief and care to be utterly exhausting and deeply unfair.
