Gluten-free Deli Meats

I've just been diagnosed with dermatitis herpetiformis and am starting a gluten-free diet. One of my problems is lunch at work, I have found corn tortillas as a replacement for the bread but have questions about deli meats such as turkey and ham. Does anyone have a guide to popular deli meats? I live in Western Massachusetts and have some of the national stores here but not all.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi there! My favorite is Deli Selects--Hillshire Farms. The ones that come in the glad containers. I called them and they said their Deli Selects lunch meats are gluten-free. Their info is below if you want to call and ask about other products:

:) Thanks all of you for your valuable suggestions. Now I can go to the grocery store and know exactly what to buy.

Oscar Meyer (Kraft) will clearly list gluten in ingredients. Carl Buddig meats are all gluten-free. All but one or two of Boar's Head meats are gluten-free (olive loaf and one other). I'm pretty certain that all Sara Lee prepackaged meats are gluten-free.

We buy Applegate Farms from WholeFoods and Colubus Brand Turkey from reg stores. I've heard Boar's Head brand is gluten free, but can't confirm.

All Black Bear are gluten free except some hot dogs and one of their chicken meats. You can go to their website as it is clearly listed.

Also, Thumans state in their radio ads that their cold cuts are gluten free.

All of the Boar's Head cold cuts and cheeses are gluten-free, except Dutch Loaf, Pickle and Pepper Loaf, Smoked Gruyere Cheese and Stuffed Cherry Peppers (all stuff I don't eat!). I confirmed this info with Boar's Head on 6/2/05.

If you purchase items in the deli, be sure to ask them to clean the machines to limit cross contamination. Several of Kroger's Private selection deli meats are gluten-free. We like the roast beef, the roast turkey, and my husband gives in to the honey ham. They can also be purchased in small containers in the meat department.

I absolutely love the Applegate Farms products - www.applegatefarms.com I eat their Roast Turkey and Bacon all the time. I also highly recommend their Chicken Hot Dogs!

Also Shelton's has some products too (not quite deli though - burgers/hot dogs and meats). www.sheltons.com

Does anyone know if these products are available in Canada? I know Carl Buddig is, but what I'd really LOVE, is a pepperoni or salami that's gluten-free? Any ideas? I have Loblaws, IGA, Dominion, Sobey's...

Hormel Turkey Pepperoni is gluten free. The information is printed on the back of the packet, along with the ingredients and it's very good! :)

      GliadinX/Tolerase G

      By ShariW · Posted

      I recently traveled to Spain and Portugal. I was with a tour group, they knew I needed to be gluten-free and made sure the kitchens preparing the group meals were aware. But just in case, I took Gliadin-X with me and took it for every evening meal - and most other meals. The one time I got glutened was from lunch early in the trip - had to be from cross-contamination. I had not taken Gliadin-X before that meal, which made for a pretty miserable day. Learned my lesson... 😞

      Diagnosis confusion

      By Hummer01 · Posted

      Hi trents, thanks for the response.  The 2nd opinion doctor said that if my CRP is still elevated at that time, he would advise me to look at Crohns/UC or another autoimmune issue. The colonoscopy I had this year seemed to rule those 2 out for now so he still believed celiac may explain it. No previous doctors have suggested any explanation for it even after calling to tell me it was a concerning result.  I guess it feels tough knowing I have positive blood testing, permissive genetics, and visible duodenum changes... and somehow it's NCGS instead of celiac. I'm still surprised the biopsies came back negative when the doctor was so sure they would be positive.

      Diagnosis confusion

      By trents · Posted

      "He also said that my CRP should return to a normal level at this time if the culprit was inflammation in the small intestine due to celiac." But with if the elevated CRP levels are caused by some other inflammatory process going on in your body? "She also said that my positive EMA isn't valuable because it has "a high false positive rate." Totally wrong! This is a highly accurate test for celiac disease, that requires specialized expertise to perform and interpret, and it is more expensive than other blood tests. It is generally used as a last test to confirm celiac disease after a positive tTG-IgA test. The sensitivity of a test refers to its ability to correctly identify individuals with the condition. For the EMA-IgA blood test, the sensitivity is generally very high, ranging from 90% to 98%. This means that the test can accurately detect celiac disease in a significant percentage of people who have the condition. The specificity of a test refers to its ability to correctly identify individuals without the condition. For the EMA-IgA blood test, the specificity is also high, typically around 95% to 100%. This indicates that the test can effectively rule out celiac disease in individuals who do not have the condition. Taken from the following article: Looking at the whole picture, I am wondering if you are transitioning from NCGS to celiac disease. Some experts in the gluten disorder field believe NCGS can be a precursor to celiac disease.

      Diagnosis confusion

      Hi all, just wanted to post an update.  I have been gluten free for about 1.5 months now and seeing improvement already in the bathroom.  Recently I had a visit with another GI doctor for a 2nd opinion. He said that while my blood tests and scope are not a "slam dunk" for celiac, he believes it's more likely than not that I have it. His advice was to stay with a celiac-level gluten free diet (no CC) for 6-12 months then retest to make sure TTG-IGA is still negative. He also said that my CRP should return to a normal level at this time if the culprit was inflammation in the small intestine due to celiac.  Today I had a follow up with the original GI that performed the scope. She is confident it is NCGS and says I can still have gluten sometimes. When I asked about the visible duodenum damage, she said it is just "irritation" from gluten because the biopsies were negative. She also said that my positive EMA isn't valuable because it has "a high false positive rate."  I guess I'm having trouble reconciling the totally different advice from these 2 GI's. I want to believe the new doctor more at this point because what he said just makes more sense to me, and he gave an actionable timeline for possible next steps. Feeling lost and disappointed at this point and wanted to write it down here in case anyone has input. Thank you.

      Help!

      @junell, Can you get a DNA test to look for genes for Celiac Disease?   Have you had your thyroid checked? Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Being on a restricted diet for so long and especially now since you are having symptoms can cause malabsorption resulting in vitamin deficiencies.   Talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals.
