Lunch Meat From Your Local Supermarket

I read that Turkey lunch meat was safe...but what about others? Ham? Salami? Roast beef?

When lunch meat has that slimey substance all over it..is it going bad or is that just a preservative?

Is canned Tuna and chicken safe?

You always have to read the labels, but Boar's Head, Applegate Farms, Diestel, Hillshire Farms, Carl Buddig, and Oscar Meyer all make gluten-free deli meats. (That's not to say anything made by the company is safe; you always have to check the labels.)

The slimey stuff is fairly normal and doesn't mean it's gone bad yet, but I think it's pretty nasty!

I haven't come across a tuna that isn't gluten-free, but always check the labels. Flavored tuna may have something in it that isn't safe. Same goes for canned chicken.

Hormel salami is gluten-free. Lots of deli products are safe, you just have to read the label before ordering, then remember what you got so you can always order that brand. You get to bug the deli clerk and ask to see the entire ham, etc so that you can read the ingredients. They just love that.... ;)

Oscar mayer bologna is gluten-free. So are their hot dogs. On line is a great way to confirm. Just google the brand name of the deli meat you want and if it's not listed on the web site, send an email asking. Most companies get back to you asap. Also there's a product called Thai Kitchen... these products are found in most normal food stores so you don't have to pay extra for them at a healthfood store.. They are tasty. Most are gluten free, some are not. But they list the words Gluten free in bold red letters on the boxes of those that are gluten free. You can go to their web site at Thai kitchen .com and see the list of gluten free products they make. Some are really convenient microwaveable dishes, perfect for work. I also recommend the kinnikinnick brand breads.. All are good and then you can have sandwiches which are the easiest thing to make for lunch.

      Chronic fatigue in the producer was the inspiration for the episode but I feel it touches on anyone that suffers and is dismissed as psycosomatic. The patient expressed my feelings elequently.  In episode 2 the doctor explains the problem well. I stopped all commercial milk protein like skim milk added to processed foods and in a few days there was a definate improvement in my  gut, bowel movements, discomfort etc. Still drinking several glasses of Pasture Fed grass fed milk with no negative effects.   Specifically, for myself Clonidine is the only medication that lowers my BP and the doctor did not renew it, insisting that I continue Losartan.  I think that she thinks I am abusing Clonidine and the reason the Losartan doesn't work is because I am non-compliant.  Absolutely not. Surprisingly after a few days withdrawal from the Clonidine my fasting blood sugar has gotten under control.  Fasting blood sugar near normal instead of over 160.  Last few days its been below 100.  I still need Glimiperide.  Without the clonidine my pulse rate is around 100 bpm, with it around 60.   Prescription of angiotensin receptor blockers in celiac disease is associated with persistent symptoms and surrogate markers of malabsorption.  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12323722/ Angiotensin receptor blocker-associated enteropathy (ARB-e) is an increasingly recognised clinical entity with symptoms and histological findings identical to coeliac disease (celiac disease). There is evidence to suggest immune-mediated mucosal injury in ARB-e with a high prevalence of DQ2/DQ8; however, as IgA anti-tissue transglutaminase (anti-TTG) is usually negative   https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/ueg2.12117 NEW research [Nov 2024] presented at the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) Annual Scientific Meeting suggests that angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), a class of drugs commonly used to manage hypertension, may be associated with poorer outcomes in patients with coeliac disease. Findings indicated that patients taking ARBs had a higher likelihood of experiencing persistent symptoms and markers of poor small bowel healing, such as anaemia and iron deficiency.  https://www.emjreviews.com/en-us/amj/gastroenterology/news/angiotensin-receptor-blockers-may-worsen-coeliac-disease-outcomes/

      @BarcinoHi! I am so sorry abt your son but also relieved to know I am not alone! My ttg iga is still mildly elevated but going down. Last time we checked I had some small erosions in my ileum but recently got an MRE that showed no inflammation. Calpro 70. We are still in limbo but we are taking a conservative approach as well. Please keep me updated about his situation and outcomes! I always love to hear others opinions/experiences especially ibd specialists.

      Celiac.com has published a book on our site by Jean Duane PhD called Gluten-Centric Culture, which covers many of the social aspects of having celiac disease: This chapter in particular covers issues around eating with family and others - Gluten-Centric Culture: Chapter 5 - Grabbing A Bite Together:

      Oh, thank you all so so much! I have found my people.   ❤️ I am so sorry that we have all suffered with this torturous itching and resulting sore skin. Sue, I can relate to what you wrote about the dark thoughts, I have had them, too. It's very tough and painful.  I have now had a 2 day straight run of only minor itching. I woke up this morning and did not want to get out of bed because it is the first time in months that I have felt comfortable and actually been able to appreciate the lovely feeling of the duvet on my skin, rather than just waking in pain and thinking about where I need to put cream on before I dress for work. If I can continue like this, then I think I could manage without medication but every time I say this, I then have a flare up. I plan to be very careful about what I eat over the weekend and it won't be easy as we are out with friends for dinner on Saturday (the pub do have very good gluten-free options, I checked of course!).  I really, REALLY appreciate your words so much and am so glad to have found this forum. I am going to read the articles kindly posted now, thank you Scott.

      I don’t know how common this is with celiac disease specifically, but significant inflammation, weight changes, aging, genetics, and skin elasticity can all play a role. It may be worth talking with both your doctor and a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon to see what options are realistic, from skin-tightening treatments to surgical approaches, while also making sure there isn’t ongoing inflammation, thyroid imbalance, or nutritional deficiency contributing. You deserve support for both the physical and emotional side of this.
