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.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet.  I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now.  He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs.  It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc.  It's literally neurological inflammation.  Not to be taken lightly here.  We have sought out many other possible ways to cope during this window of time (8 months!!!!)  without success.   AN-PEP does not help and seems like studies on this are not well researched.  So, we are trying this out because research shows some promising results.  And, all participants showed no cravings afterwards, no signs of addiction.  The patch is different than the oral route such as smoking, vaping, gum, pouch, etc.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-Free.

      Nausea

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      Hi all  I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also].  BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering if others suffer from nausea, even if following a gluten free diet.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      @fatjacksonthecat I have been doing some digging about the topic of nicotine and celiac.  I came across many studies that showed that the nicotine patch helped many with long covid and chronic fatigue syndrome.  I have a son who was diagnosed with celiac and his symptoms are severe when he is glutened.  He shows a lot of neurological inflammation and suffered with fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety and insomnia. There have been studies revealing that nicotine smoke actually masking celiac symptoms.  I also read that microdosing with a nictoine patch prevents one from addiction.  We are currently trying this out and so far it has lifted the brain fog and helped with anxiety and mood.  One of the studies I have read showed that it's not so much the dose, but the length of time a person is on the patch that showed improvements.  Many showed significant improvement as early as week 3 and continued through week 12.  We are taking 3 day breaks in between to make sure we don't down regulate the nicotine receptors.   How have things been for you?  Are you still chewing nicotine gum?  Perhaps, try the patch?  And how long did it take to ease up on your symptoms when glutened?

      Hi @KathyR37 and a very warm welcome here.  I am so very sorry that you are going through all of this. I just wanted to check, have you ever been tested for any other gastrointestinal conditions? Cristiana
