Kirkland Brand Canned Chicken Breasts, Gluten Free Or Not?

The most recent post on Kirkland canned chicken breast is from 2010.

So. Is this still safe and gluten free? Or, what is the best way to contact CostCo for information? Last time I tried that it was a very frustrating experience. :(

Something 'got' me this morning, probably something I ate yesterday. (Usually I react about 18 hours after contact.) The canned chicken is the only thing I can think of from yesterday's food list, unless the culprit is from Wednesday. I can't think back that far, as this has not been a good week for me, physically or energetically. LOTS of brain fog and fatigue since last weekend.

I hope the Kirkland canned chicken is ok. It's a good 'go to' when I need some instant protein and nothing else is easily available.

Hey Beth! I have never tried the Kirkland brand chicken breast, but I found their canned tuna and salmon to be safe and I am sensitive to gluten under 5ppm. Could you be sensitive to soy or anything else that many celiacs react to?

Trust your body! Maybe try eating everything else again to make sure you haven't developed some sort of other intolerance, and if they're ok, I'd say the chicken may be no good... Let me know what you find out! I'd be interested in that product if you find it's safe. Feel better! :)

I've eaten it with no problem. If I remember correctly it's got some corn maltodextrin or starch but not gluten or any sort of wheat warning but it's been awhile since I looked at the label.

This jumped out at me, so I am wondering if something "got you last weekend" and this is residual? Just suggesting! My glutening "effects" lasts about 2 weeks and I can never determine what it was that got me in the first place. Makes me nuts.

I don't think I have any other sensitivities, but have wondered lately if I might. I think I've been a bit hypersensitive since I returned from visiting family during the first week of April. I was careful, and the family generally tries to be sure I eat safely, but out of my own kitchen for a week is tricky, and it was an emotionally trying week, in addition. I haven't felt great since I got home, so it's entirely possible that something else entirely 'got' me. I've eaten the canned chicken breast before without problems, so this surprised me.

I'm wondering if I may have a cow dairy sensitivity. My sister is allergic to cow dairy, and lactose intolerance is common in the family. I've been decreasing dairy and switching to goat dairy products. Somehow stopping cow dairy is quite daunting for me. Worse than going gluten free was!

I'll try to contact CostCo, although that will have to wait until I have time to tackle that project.

Thank you all for your replies!

      Nausea

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight. My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet. I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now. He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs. It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc. It's literally neurological inflammation. Not to be taken lightly here. We...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-F...

      Nausea

      Hi all I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also]. BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering...

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you
