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.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
