Gluten Free Chicken And Beef

Hi everyone! I am so glad to have stumbled on this resource. It is such a friendly place :)

I have recently been diagnosed with Celiac Disease, and have been really missing chicken and beef. The reason I am hesitant to eat either is because I have read that chickens in particular are often injected with wheat solution to make their muscles larger.

I would appreciate if anyone could help me out with what brands of chicken and beef are safe, and how I should go about finding out which in my supermarket are safe. Thank you in advance!

It should always say on the package if it is injected with broth, so whenever I see that it is injected I stay away. I have never seen broth injected into Perdue chicken and I don't think Tyson either, but I have seen it in one the store brands near me.

I have never run across a chicken with plumping solution that contained wheat. If there is wheat in any product in the US or Canada, it must be declared in the allergen information on the label.

I think chicken would normally be injected with a salt/water solution (like a brine) to make it more moist and tender. Sometimes I do buy Perdue. List of gluten-free products Open Original Shared Link.

I've never, ever found a chicken "injected" with a wheat solution. Pretty much all of the main national brands have said their plain chickens are gluten-free.

I've been told by my nutritionist, who also has celiac disease that manufacturers inject with a gluten saline solution, so I don't know what to think now. Please help.

And my mom just had a dietician tell her it was OK to eat Chex mix on a super low sodium diet. :blink:

Not sure where they get thier info sometimes.

I buy chicken that says its not injected. Costs more.

I think your nutritionist is laboring under old information. We used to be warned that all "injected" meat or meat with a broth was dangerous. Since them we've learned that nearly all of it is safe. Here, for instance, is what Perdue says:

"Perdue chickens, chicken parts, and turkeys are all gluten-free. These are sold fresh as well as frozen and some are flavored with seasonings."

The broth is usually a vegetable or rosemary broth.

Rosemary? Please, can you link where you found that? I have a family member allergic to rosemary and this may explain some reactions if it's true! Thanks!

I have no link. This was from calling companies when I used to do more of that but I THINK it was one of the larger poultry companies. The rosemary was not clearly listed.

Thanks! Maybe Mom can check the brands she usually buys or switch to a brand without plumping solution. I wonder where else rosemary is lurking that we never thought of???

I have seen frozen chicken that looks plain but lists wheat in the ingredients. Also some fast food chicken contains wheat even though it is listed as grilled.

      Lymph nodes

      By Smith-Ronald · Posted

      Enlarged lymph nodes in neck and groin with celiac are not uncommon. They can take time to reduce even after going gluten-free. Monitoring is key.

      Trying to read my lab results

      By Bayb · Posted

      Hi Scott, yes I have had symptoms for years and this is the second GI I have seen and he could not believe I have never been tested. He called later today and I am scheduled for an endoscopy. Is there a way to tell how severe my potential celiac is from the results above? What are the chances I will have the biopsy and come back negative and we have to keep searching for a cause?

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      I agree christina, there is definitely many contributing factors! I have the pain today, my pelvis, hips and thighs ache! No idea why. But i have been sitting at work for 3 days so im thinking its my back. This disease is very mysterious (and frustrating) but not always to blame for every pain.

      Why?

      By trents · Posted

      "her stool study showed she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that." The wording of this part of the sentence does not make any sense at all. I don't mean to insult you, but is English your first language? This part of the sentence sounds like it was generated by translation software.

      What kind of stool test was done? Can you be more specific?
