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:

Applegate Farms and Diestel make gluten-free(and CF) lunch meats.

:) 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.

Lots of Jenny-O turkey slices are gluten free. Here is the gluten-free list for Hormel/Jenny-o

I just called Hormel about their hard salami. It is 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! :)

My husband & I eat the Land o' Frost lunchmeats. They sell them most everywhere & I have several varieties to choose from.

      I  notice a reaction to tea bags, possibly due to gluten or other substances. Is this recognizable?
    • trents
      The blood tests you had done are not the main ones. The two main ones are the "Total IGA" (to check for IGA deficiency) and the "TTG-IGA". Current guidelines for the "gluten challenge" when people have been gluten free for a significant time period are the daily consumption of at least10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks leading up to the day of the blood draw. That should give you some perspective.

      Thank you, really.  I took a test for DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG. Effectively, it is not enough to discard Celiac Disease. I was consuming gluten until then, I only started gluten-free some days ago, when the symptoms became horrible and now I feel considerably better, which is a second confirmation that gluten is the main problem. It's been more than 4 years I have the same suspect, when I first thought gluten was causing me problems, I made a gluten-free diet for a year, I felt really good as never before. However, neither I or my parents were well informed about Celiac disease, so none of us tried to make further exams. My father suffer digestive problems and other members of my family as well. Unfortunately, no one have ever been tested for Celiac disease. I'll have to restart eating gluten in the next weeks, so I can make a serious blood test in laboratory, hopefully between two or three months.

      As Scott said, in order for celiac disease testing to be valid, you need to be eating generous amounts of gluten on a regular basis for weeks or months before the blood draw. The blood tests are designed to detect antibodies that the immune system produces in response to the ingestion of gluten. It takes time for them to build up in the blood to detectable levels.

      Based on what you've described, it is absolutely crucial that you pursue further medical exams for Celiac Disease and related conditions with a gastroenterologist. Your symptoms—especially the worsening fatigue, loss of muscle mass, neurological symptoms like migraines, and palpitations, coupled with being underweight—are significant red flags that extend beyond typical IBS. The negative home test is not reliable, particularly given your concern about sample contamination and the fact that you were likely not consuming sufficient gluten at the time for the test to be accurate, which is a common issue. While probiotics like Bifidobacterium Infantis can support gut health, they cannot resolve an autoimmune response to gluten or heal intestinal damage caused by Celiac Disease. Your declining blood test results, even if still "in range," further indicate a trend that needs a doctor's investigation. Please do not hesitate to seek a specialist; a formal diagnosis is the first step toward getting the correct treatment, allowing your body to heal, and finally addressing your weight and overall health concerns. 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.
