LOL um no....I don't think so. I think you're sometimes better safe than sorry when it comes to fishy smelling chicken....I mean, I guess the chicken could have been near the fish. Is there a date on it? (Eeww, btw :rolleyes: )

well its prepackaged tysen chicken.. so i dont even think there is a chance of fish cc.. thats why the smell confuses me

oh i also used olive oil to grease the pan if that could have caused the smell

oh i dont know so much anymore, i found a lil black thing in the chicken, i took it out thought it was a bone but i was able to bend it in half then it broke, and its brown and crusty in the inside wtf is this

this sucks this was my dinner for tonight... now its to late for me to cook anything looks like no dinner tonight :(/ lunch for tomorrow

did you already cook the chicken? Can you return it to the store and explain what happened?

I dunno. If you bought chicken that isn't edible I'd take it back to the store with your receipt and see if they'll reimburse you. Some stores are really good about that.

Lister,

since I have been gluten free some things do smell quite different now. Cooked chicken at the supermaret smells so weird and horrible now, not that I will eat it as they are stuffed, but the others think hey this is great, and think it smells still the same.

I notice I cannot walk up the bread aisles without thinking yuck that stinks. It seems to be the bread smell that gets me the most.

Maybe that is the case with you, some things smell different.

I hope you feel fine tomorrow

I have the same reaction to raw chicken. One day I threw out thee packs thinking they must have spoiled... now I realize it was silly ole me. :rolleyes: Now I burn a scented candle in the kitchen as a prepare the chicken so I don't freak myself out from the smell.

This is so funny that you should all mention this. Raw chicken smells different to me too! Not fishy, but I want to use the word 'strong'--hard to describe. I feel like an idiot having to always ask whoever's around--does this smell ok to you? :lol:

The last several times, I've just ignored the smell--I guess thats just another side effect of all this. :blink:

I've had this happen with both chicken and beef... I think it smells really off and I'll ask my hubby to smell it and he says theres nothing wrong with it, it still smells funky to me so I freak about it... Once I was so freaked I threw the cooked ground beef in the trash and went back to the grocery store and cried to the store manager about it smelling so bad, he gave me another pack and didn't charge me, when I was cooking that one it smelled off too, but not as bad... I ate it anyway since hubby kept saying it was just me and the meat smelled fine.

Wow. I also thought the last few meat products smelled disgusting to me! I likened it to something between a cat and a rabbit. Is that the "gamey" smell people talk of?

My dad works for Tyson and they don't do fish. I have no idea what the black thing would be. I have some issues with meat smelling bad to me but my husband claims it smells fine. I also have found that even after cooking it that sometimes our chicken tastes like fish to me and I don't care for fish. It bugs me and I can't explain why this is. I heard somthing on the morning news last month that the meat that is vacum sealed is often not good even before the exp date....I guess the put carbon dioxide in the meat to keep it red longer and when they tested not exp meat wich looked fresh it was often spoiled. They did say that if it's in saran wrap usually on styrafoam or from your butcher that they would not have the equipment in there facilities to put carbon dioxide in the meat so those pkgs should be ok.

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      By cristiana · Posted

      I think going back to your GI isn't a bad idea - my visits to the GI did not stop following my diagnosis as I had annoying issues on and off for some time.  Thankfully he is a fantastic GI, with  a great sense of humour, so it wasn't a chore to see him again although I'd rather not have had to, obviously!  But I needed my mind to be put at rest as my symptoms didn't seem to go away overnight as I'd hoped they would.  Initially I recall he recommended I went Dairy Free for three weeks, and he told me it would take that time to see an effect.  At that time, even lactose free milk went straight through me, so it is important, I would say, to even avoid that during a Dairy Free trial. My ongoing symptoms were bloating which did respond a bit to that trial.   However, within about 18 months there was a return to a very sore stomach, plus various aches and pains.   It turned out some gluten was sneaking in with my iron supplement (I was buying Floradix instead of Floravital), but I also think the dishwasher, the oven and eating out were contributors, too. Before my numbers normalised (from memory, about eight years!) I had several follow up appointments and a few more tests, but things gradually did get better.  Having read many accounts on this forum over the years, I don't think it is uncommon for symptoms to get a bit worse before getting better, that was certainly the case with me.  Your gut is damaged so you may well have issues digesting other food in the short term. But do try to be as scrupulously gluten free as you can possibly be as a first step, and I'd definitely try a three week Dairy Free trial.   Your villi because they are damaged are not able to create the lactase required to digest dairy at this time so you may well see some improvement if you come off dairy for a while.  Perhaps keeping a food diary of what you eat, where you eat it, whilst a bit onerous to do, will help identify foods that are causing issues.  For a while, apart from oats, I found peas, lentils and soya products hugely aggravating.  Things should calm down.

      Thankfully those are normal. B12 was on the low end of the normal range when I first got diagnosed. When I last got it checked, it had come up a lot (455 last time checked).

      mystery gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/  I didn't notice any gluten ingredients in Kirkland Almond non-dairy beverage, however it does contain Locust Bean Gum. Some gums may cause IBS-type issues in some people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity:

      For the past few months, I've been taking several supplements (a multi-vitamin, an iron supplement, a vitamin C supplement, and a magnesium supplement), all of which state that they are gluten free on the label.
