Has Anyone Been Glutened From gluten-free Chicken Broth?

I just made two dishes with chicken broth this week. I am wondering if any other ss got glutened from Pacific or Imagine chicken broths. They both say gluten free, but I also didn't check to see if they test and at what ppm. I thought that I was ok once before on Pacific, but now I can't remember which one that I used. I also used Pad Thai rice noodles, but I also used them before with seemingly no reaction. The only think that I could think would be the broth or the store brand frozen lima beans. I did try a few other new things too, so I am just narrowing down my offenders. I get so hungry sometimes that I just want food, and my common sense goes out the door! I should know to only try one thing and wait, but...I get weak and impatient:( Now here I am left trying to figure it out the hard way what glutened me. Oh well, I was wondering about the broths anyway, so that would be helpful to know. I tried a couple of new things last night, but it is too soon for my very timely symptoms to come on. I don't know how to make my own broth either...

Well, I can't help with the product knowledge but broth is easy.

Take a whole chicken (giblets removed) and place in a big pot. Cover with water. Add a few onions, garlic, stalks of celery, bay leaves, peppercorns, carrots and simmer til cooked. Remove chicken, debone. Save the meat and either add the bones back to the pot and simmer more or strain and reserve stock. Use chicken as needed.

The Pacific brand has never bothered me.

I have also used Kitchen Basics stocks without any trouble. NO MSG either--which always bites me on the butt when I try packaged stuff. (even if it does not say MSG on the label)

But I almost always make my own :)

I have always used Julia Child's method of making stock since I first started playing around in the kitchen, but here is a quickie version for you:

Another vote here for making your own stock! It's so easy, saves so much money, reduces waste - plus, it's yummier and you know exactly what's in it!

I don't use store bought stock since I prefer having my own. When I don't have time to simmer stock for a few hours I will take chicken or beef, brown it and then put it in water with seasonings to simmer for 20 min to a half hour.

This past week I did it with beef and put potatoes and carrots in the water with it and took it off the stove when the veggies were tender, it was a fairly quick comforting meal.

I know you know this shayre, so I won't belabor, but you really can't find out what's bothering you when you add a whole bunch of things at once :rolleyes: Sorry, it's the mama in me :D

Homemade stock of any kind is always better. It is delicious and keeps (and freezes) well. You can easily make your own beef stock and mushroom or vegetable broth. You can simmer it for a couple of hours while you are doing something else so the time it takes is inactive time once everything is in the pot. Stock - you use bones; broth - you do not. Browning bones first adds optimal flavour - same for making gravy. It is awesome! :)

I'll second the only add one thing per week advice. I know it's hard to go without and I don't always follow that rule either. You can eat as much of what you are eating as you like, but who wants to eat 10 bananas?

I am crazy sensitive, but I think I have been glutened by chicken broth and even to a lesser extent, by chicken. I had a pasture fed chicken source for awhile, and I could eat tons of that.

Good luck figuring things out. Be patient.

Thank you. Yes, I am impatient sometimes, but sometimes I feel like I have no control over my stomach at all. If it's in the house, and I'm hungry...my brain doesn't stand a chance:( Thank you for the good advice!

Remove giblets??? Send 'em to me! Giblets give great flavor to broth. So does the neck.

When you throw the bones back in to simmer, add a little apple cider vinegar. The acid will leach calcium and minerals out of the bones and make the broth even more nutritious.

I am giggling a bit right now, Sky ---because I can almost hear Julia Child saying this in that voice of hers. I, too, do the vinegar splash as she recommended ....and she threw EVERYTHING in the pot. Whatever was left of the chicken, it went in.

I learned to cook as a little kid watching her on a black and white TV. (dating myself here :rolleyes: )

We recently started reacting to pacific brand, haven't tried the imagine brand. We now make our own too and it is so economical. I buy our chickens for $1.59/lb, a whole chicken is usually around $6 or $7. I usually get about 12 cups of stock from the one chicken plus the meat...pacific chicken stock is usually close to $4 for 4 cups! And, the homemade stuff is SO much better for you!

Costco has an organic gluten free chicken broth, their Kirkland brand. I've tried it and with some spices added it is pretty good

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      By captaincrab55 · Posted

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal.   My biggest fear about relocating from Maryland to Florida 5 years ago, was being able to find gluten-free foods that fit my restricted diet.  I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free foods tagged, next to the price.  The gluten-free tags opened up a  lot of foods that aren't actually marked gluten-free by the manufacture.  Now I only need to check for my other dietary restrictions.  Where my son lives in New Hartford, New York there's a Hannaford Supermarket that also has a gluten-free tag next to the price tag.  Hopefully you can locate a Supermarket within a reasonable travel distance that you can learn what foods to check out at a Supermarket close to you.  I have dermatitis herpetiformis too and I'm very sensitive to gluten and the three stores I named were very gluten-free friendly.  Good Luck

      Okay well the info about TTG-A actually makes a lot of sense and I wish the PA had explained that to me. But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that. Bread, pasta, quesadillas (with flour tortillas) and crackers are my 4 favorite foods and I ate at least one of those things multiple times a day e.g. breakfast with eggs and toast, a cheese quesadilla for lunch, and pasta for dinner, and crackers and cheese as a before bed snack. I'm not even kidding.  I'm not really big on sugar, so I don't really do sweets. I don't have any of those conditions.  I am not sure if I have the genes or not. When the geneticist did my genetic testing for EDS this year, I didn't think to ask for him to request the celiac genes so they didn't test for them, unfortunately.  I guess another expectation I had is  that if gluten was the issue, the gluten-free diet would make me feel better, and I'm 3 months in and that hasn't been the case. I am being very careful and reading every label because I didn't want to screw this up and have to do gluten-free for longer than necessary if I end up not having celiac. I'm literally checking everything, even tea and anything else prepacked like caramel dip. Honestly its making me anxious 😅

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long?   DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule.  This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are  produced in response to.   TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to gluten.  The tTg IgA antibodies attack our own cells because a structural component in our cell membranes resembles a part of gluten.  There's a correlation between the level of intestinal damage with the level of tTg antibodies produced.  You are not producing a high number of tTg IgA antibodies, so your level of tissue damage in your intestines is not very bad.  Be thankful.   There may be reasons why you are not producing a high quantity of tTg IgA antibodies.  Consuming ten grams or more of gluten a day for two weeks to two months before blood tests are done is required to get sufficient antibody production and damage to the intestines.  Some undiagnosed people tend to subconsciously avoid lots of gluten.  Cookies and cakes do not contain as much gluten as artisan breads and thick chewy pizza crust.  Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can affect IgA antibody production as well.   Do you carry genes for Celiac?  They frequently go along with EDS.

      I was tested for celiac at the same time, so I wasn't taking naltrexone yet. I say that, because I don't. The endoscopy showed some mild inflammation but was inconclusive as to celiac disease. They took several biopsies and that's all that was shown. I was not given a Marsh score.
