Kirkland Organic Meat, Crosscontamination?

We like Coscto and their products. We are asking if anyone has had reactions to using their organic hambuger by Kirkland, it is a newer brand for the meat. We switched and have been having issues. We have a son, who is very sensitive, and he had reactions. We eliminated other sources, and reintroduced the meat again. The only product reintroduced to him, and then he had a reaction. I am in the process of contacting the company. Again, we appreciate costco and all they do, as they offer gluten-free items in their store. We are interested to see if anyone else had reactions to prodcuts by kirkland. Greatly appreciate the feedback. We also were trying to discover about their spices, but have left them out for the meantime.

On a side note, we also discoverd, Spice World Garlic in oil, has cc issues with soy. For those who react to soy as well.

Thank you again, this board is a life line at times.

Are you talking about the organic ground beef (apx 1 1/3 lb pscksge) sold in three packs linked together or hamburger patties?

We used the ground beef and I was fine - but I'm not super sensitive.

If they have premade patties I haven't tried those.

THe organic beef sold in the butcher case, not frozen. They use to sell Thousand HIlls, which were grass fed, I believe. THe new meat is grain fed, by Kirkland. Same price, very different product. I did send a note, and called. However, the assistance at the call center was not too helpful. I wanted to know if the meat was processed on its own line, and ground on its own line. THe gal tried to help , but shared she had 10 pages to go through and would take alot of time, however, 20 seconds later, she shared, she didn't think so because she didn't see anything written. That was not a solid answer. Thank her for her time, and will try someone else at the company. We have elimanted the meat and tried a different brand that we know to be safe, see what happens. Thank you for your time and feedback

      Fresh Additions Fully Cooked Chicken Breast Bites

      By Nikki2777 · Posted

      Hi  - Anyone have any experience with these? I bought them at Costco thinking they must be gluten-free, but now I see Natural Flavors and Spice in the ingredients. There's no Gluten Free labeling. However the Costco site and two other sites say it's gluten free. Anyone know?

      Restaurants that offer gluten free no cross contamination

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Yes, I doubt you can find a perfectly safe restaurant--perhaps a dedicated gluten-free restaurant, but in general, very few of them exist, and they tend to be in larger cities. Super sensitive celiacs should probably just avoid eating out.

      Newly diagnosed and maybe some type of protein intolerance.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.

      Restaurants that offer gluten free no cross contamination

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Kenz! Eating out is the number one threat to anyone with celiac disease. The best advice I can give is "don't"! Especially if you are supersensitive. The biggest problem isn't avoiding gluten in what you order but in how it is prepared and handled back in the kitchen where cross contamination can and does happen at multiple stages before it gets to you. You would need to have conversations with the cooks and receive assurance that your food is cooked on clean surfaces and in clean pans and handled with clean utensils, separate from anything that contains gluten.

      I am new to this and have severely struggled to find places I can eat where I will not get sick. I am super sensitive to any cross contamination and gluten. I throw up, use the bathroom, get disoriented, can’t walk, can’t even lift my arms, legs, or head. It’s honestly so scary when I come in contact with gluten. I do live in a town where there aren’t many options. I live in Gadsden al. So if anyone has any recommendations of places to eat that would be so helpful .
