I found that they were gluten free. Here are the ingredients:

Chicken Breast Meat with Rib Meat, Water, Contains 2% or Less of Sea Salt, Modified Food Starch, Sodium Phosphates, Chicken Flavor (Salt, Chicken Broth, Natural Flavors), Flavoring.

I'd guess you are reacting to something besides gluten...like with the bean soup earlier this week. Might want to stick with plain chicken (no additives) for now.

I thought it was the soup too, so I called the company and they said it was gluten free. The chicken I used was Spartan Brand fresh,not the frozen. Where you referring to the frozen chicken? I appreciate your input. I have no idea how to go on an elimination diet to see if it's something in the soup. I've had this gas and this distended stomach for 6 years straight,never gets better no matter what I eat. Gluten swells my face and congests me. That's what happening now.

hmmm...I just googled spartan chicken breast and found those ingredients...if it was fresh I'd assume there are no additives. What else did you eat with the meal? or earlier in the day that you may have had a delayed reaction?

I thought it through, over and over again, nothing is dif. I stick to a limited amount of food because I'm new to this so I'm afraid to eat different foods.I ussually buy Tyson,but I forgot and went for the sale they were having on Spartan chick.

Hmmmm.....have you checked your personal care items for gluten - shampoo, soap, lotion, toothpaste?

It sounds like your are reacting to something else -- I know it can be tough to figure out...hang in there...it does get easier.

I have heard that modified food starch can be derived from wheat, so I try to avoid that! Maybe that is the issue with that chicken?

In the US, if modified food starch is derived from wheat, it must be declared on the packaging by law.n

Here in the U.S. modified food starch is a safe ingredient. If it was made from wheat, it would have to be declared on the label.

OP said that the chicken was fresh, not frozen - so it wouldn't have had the ingredients I listed....therefore the chicken he ate was gluten-free.

If you are new to being gluten free I would re-examine the cooking process in your home. Is there any chance for cross contamination? Were your pots and pans or utensils used on gluten foods in the past? It is so easy to contaminate your food when your kitchen is just recently gluten free. I just thought I would mention that as a possibility. I glutened myself that way in the beginning months even though my ingredients were gluten free. It's worth a thought.

I can't name a single fresh chicken that has gluten in it.

I know I had a reaction a couple/few weeks ago to Tyson's grilled chicken strips that were gluten-free labeled. This was the only food I had eaten, so it was an isolated consumption and had to be the chicken.

Somebody commented that the "chicken stock" would be a very possible door way to how something with gluten could get into a product marked gluten-free.

I'm going to stick with fresh, local, organic chickens.

I've NEVER found a "stock" in fresh or frozen chicken that has gluten. And I've called a lot of manufacturers over the years.

I would also look at any lip products you are using for any other allergen that could be added to it. I found out I had a few food allergies and had to throw out lip products that had nut oils and soy was a big one for me. I was eating so very little and still hurting, it wasn't until I found out soy and certain fruits were a problem for me that I started to feel better. Hang in there.

could you be reacting to the chicken its self??

I can not eat chicken but turkey is fine. ( one of the many mysterys of celiac :rolleyes: )

That is a good point 1956Chill! There are people who are sensitive to chicken itself. I have a sister who cannot eat chicken at all, but she if fine with Turkey too. Thanks for bringing that up.

      The discovery of the vitamin D receptor in multiple immune cell lineages, such as monocytes, dendritic cells, and activated T cells credits vitamin D with a novel role in modulating immunological functions and its subsequent role in the development or prevention of autoimmune diseases.  The Implication of Vitamin D and Autoimmunity: a Comprehensive Review

      Definitely get vitamin D 25(OH)D.  Celiac Disease causes vitamin D deficiency and one of the functions of vitamin D is modulating the genes.  While we can survive with low vitamin D as an adaptation to living in a seasonal environment, the homeostasis is 200 nmol/L.  Vitamin D Receptors are found in nearly every cell with a nucleus,while the highest concentrations are in tissues like the intestine, kidney, parathyroid, and bone.  A cellular communication system, if you will. The vitamin D receptor: contemporary genomic approaches reveal new basic and translational insights  Possible Root Causes of Histamine Intolerance. "Low levels of certain nutrients like copper, Vitamins A, B6, and C can lead to histamine build up along with excess or deficient levels of iron. Iodine also plays a crucial role in histamine regulation."

      I forgot to mention my suspicion of the high amount of glyphosate allowed to be used on wheat in USA and NZ and Australia. My weight was 69kg mid-2023, I went down to 60kg in March 2024 and now hover around 63kg (just after winter here in NZ) - wheat-free and very low alcohol consumption.

      Hi Jess Thanks so much for your response and apologies for the long delay in answering. I think I must have been waiting for something to happen before I replied and unfortunately it fell off the radar... I have had an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy in the meantime (which revealed 'minor' issues only). Yes I do think histamine intolerance is one of the problems. I have been lowering my histamine intake and feeling a lot better. And I do think it is the liver which is giving the pain. I am currently taking zinc (I have had three low zinc tests now), magnesium, B complex, vitamin E and a calcium/Vitamin C mix. I consciously think about getting vitamin D outside. (Maybe I should have my vitamin D re-tested now...) I am still 100% gluten-free. My current thoughts on the cause of the problems is some, if not all, of the following: Genetically low zinc uptake, lack of vitamin D, wine drinking (alcohol/sulphites), covid, immune depletion, gastroparesis, dysbiosis, leaky gut, inability to process certain foods I am so much better than late 2023 so feel very positive 🙂

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      Hi and thank you very much for your detailed response! I am so glad that the protocol worked so well for you and helped you to get your health back on track. I've heard of it helping other people too. One question I have is how did you maintain your weight on this diet? I really rely on nuts and rice to keep me at a steady weight because I tend to lose weight quickly and am having a hard time envisioning how to make it work, especially when not being able to eat things like nuts and avocados. In case you have any input, woud be great to hear it! Friendly greetings.
