Gluten Free Deli Meat?

Hello does anyone know how I find out if Deli Meat is Gluten Free. I am going to be getting a list from a deli for Boars Head (i think they are out of Canada) they have all natural meats which I know doesnt mean anything in the gluten-free world. So what ingredients are a no no for deli meats? Does anyone know of a certain brand of deli meat that is gluten free? It is so hard to do this diet without some form of a quick cold cut for lunch. Any suggestions?

Also are canned meats like chicken breast, turkey breast, and tuna....gluten free?

Thanks

:)

Boars Head Products (800.352.6277) (www.boarshead.com) (vs=09/20/02)

MEATS: No cereals, fillers, artificial colors or flavors is used in manufacturing the meats. There are not vegetable gums or malts, wheat, rye, oats or barley used. For this reason almost all of our products should be compatible with a gluten-free diet. Note: As of January 2004 one meat product (Rotisico-unsure on spelling-Chicken has wheat).

CARAMEL COATINGS: Made from sugars and should pose no problems.

CHEESE: American; Blue Cheese Mozarella; Gold Label Swiss; Monterrey Jack; Monterrey Jack with Jalapenos; Gouda; Edam; Vermont Cheddar are gluten-free.

Hormel (Hormel) (800-523-4635) (www.hormel.com) (vw=03/28/04)

SHELF STABLE: Bacon Bits and Pieces, Chunk Meats (Breast of Chicken, Chicken, Ham, Turkey), Corned Beef, Dried Beef, Vienna sausage

MEATS: Beef Jerky (Regular, Low Fat ), Canadian Style Bacon, Fully Cooked Bacon, Fully-Cooked Entrées (Beef Roast Au Jus, Pork Roast Au Jus), Ham Patties, Microwave Bacon, Pepperoni, PILLOW PACK® (Pepperoni and Turkey Pepperoni), Smokies, Snack Size Meats and Cheese (Cooked Ham, Smoked Ham, Honey Ham, Summer Sausage, Smoked Turkey, Roasted Turkey, Hard Slami, Italian Dry Salami, Colby & Monterey Jack Cheese, Cheddar Cheese)

May contain distilled vinegar: Pickled Pigs Feet, Pickled Pork Hocks, Pickled Hot Sausages, Pickled Tidbits, Pickled Smoked Sausages

Oscar Mayer (Kraft) (Open Original Shared Link) (vw=2004).

Read the label. Wheat, oats, rye and barley will be listed on the label of Kraft products that contain these ingredients. They will not be hidden under words such as “natural flavors”, etc. Kraft considers distilled vinegar, no matter the source, gluten-free.

Here are a few things that I copied from the Delphia List. I highly suggest using that as it will help tremendously.

I am new too and this helped me. :D

Good luck! Jo Ann

If you are getting meats that must be sliced at the deli counter, be sure that they clean the slicer before they slice your meat. Otherwise you can get cross-contaminated.

I'm with Richard on the Hillshire Farms Meats, that is all that I purchase.

Thanks for reminding me. The manager at that deli seems really nice so I dont see a problem if they wipe it off. Plus I think all they sell is boars head which most are gluten free I think anyways but it doesnt hurt to check to see if they are selling some with gluten to be safe. :rolleyes:

I've worked in a deli and there is a real problem with wiping it off. I would just stick to packaged, to get a slicer clean you need to take it apart, there are guards that get bits stuck in them and the only way to get them clean is to dismantle and wash. Personally I would not trust something sliced on one. Theres lots of 'deli slice style' stuff thats risk free.

Well the only problem with pre packaged meat is it is not organic. I need to have meat that has no hormones as we are trying for a baby right now and I already have PCOS and regular meat is full of estrogens. If you can recommend a prepackaged meat without hormones and organic I could do that. I was also thinking if the wiped it down some I could always go home and rinse it off good too.

I am not Celiac but gluten intolerant so a crumb wont kill me. Plus I think this deli ony sells Boars Head and there meats and cheeses are mostly if not all gluten free already. I will consider this possiblity too.

this is so hard and confusing my nerves are shot. I am starting to think there is nothing to eat between the low carb, gluten free, and all the stuff I have to do to follow this correctly.. :angry: All this started because hubby and I want kids.. :unsure:

I spoke with Boar's head on the phone and the woman told me that the "loafs" olive loaf, pimento loaf, etc are not gluten-free becase of the vinegar, and there was one cheese, a weird cheese that I would never eat so I forgot the name.

I got a phone call back from Boar's Head and was told that ALL Boar's Head products, including their pickles, are GLUTEN FREE as of October 27, 2005. The few items that they used to tell Celiacs to stay away from are now GLUTEN FREE. They have NO products with gluten. That's good. But don't they still have nitrates???? Anyway, Boar's Head is 100% gluten free as of Oct. 27th.

Are all Carl Buddig and Hillshire Farm prepackaged meats gluten-free? Is it written on the package? I am looking for some sliced ham to eat.

Thanks,

Applegate Farms are Hormone Free and Antibiotic and Nitrite/Nitrate free, they sell them at Whole Foods and you can buy them in the deli OR pre packaged in safe little gluten free packages. That's the way I get it. I can't have any of the non organic meats either, so this is the only way I can have my lunchmeats.

Another site you might want to visit is kraftkitchens.com - click on Health & Wellness and then Gluten Free Products. There will be another list of mainstream gluten-free items along with some yummy looking recipes. You might be able to find some quick lunch ideas here.

      Bitters for digestion?

      This sounds to me like histamine intolerance. Some foods have more or less histamine. processed or aged meats, fermented food like yoghurt or kimchi and bread (yeast), spinach, eggplant and mushroom are high in histamine. Other foods like tomatoes are histamine liberators, they encourage your mast cells to release histamine, which can also trigger the reactions...

      Why Bananas No Longer Cure Celiac Disease

      I missed this article when it was first put up. It is interesting to read, as my old neighbour who sadly passed away a few years ago was a trainee midwife during WWII. Bananas disappeared from the shops in Britain during the war, but she told me that those that did get to the UK were kept back for infants with coeliac disease. I didn't realise that...

      @GeoPeanut, milk is one of the better sources of iodine. Iodine is known to exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. Many people find that a low iodine diet helps them avoid dermatitis herpetiformis outbreaks. So, maybe the fact that you have limited your dairy intake of late is helping with that.

      This sounds to me like histamine intolerance. Some foods have more or less histamine. processed or aged meats, fermented food like yoghurt or kimchi and bread (yeast), spinach, eggplant and mushroom are high in histamine. Other foods like tomatoes are histamine liberators, they encourage your mast cells to release histamine, which can also trigger the reactions you describe, flu like symptoms, joint pain, urinary tract irritation, rash, stomach upset, nausea, diarrhoea & fatigue. I had liver pain like you describe, as part of the intolerance is usually a sluggish liver that makes processing all the histamine difficult. There are multiple possible root causes of histamine intolerance, usually it’s a symptom of something else. In my case, leaky gut (damaged gut wall)caused by undiagnosed celiac, but for others it’s leaky gut caused by other things like dysbiosis. Some people also experience histamine intolerance due to mould exposure or low levels of DAO (the enzyme that breaks down histamine in the gut). I’d try a low histamine diet & if that doesn’t improve symptoms fully, try low oxalate too. As others have suggested, supplements like vitamin d, b, l-glutamine to support a healthy gut & a good liver support supplement too. If you’re in a histamine flare take vitamin c to bowel tolerance & your symptoms will calm down (avoid if you find you have oxalate intolerance though). Best of luck

      Welcome to the forum, @KRipple! Sorry to hear of all your husband's health problems. I can only imagine how anxious this makes you as when our spouse suffers we hurt right along with them. Can you post the results from the Celiac blood testing for us to look at? We would need the names of the tests run, the numeric results and (this is important) the reference ranges for each test used to establish high/low/negative/positive. Different labs use different rating scales so this is why I ask for this. There aren't industry standards. Has your husband seen any improvement from eliminating gluten from his diet? If your husband had any positive results from his celiac blood antibody testing, this is likely what triggered the consult with a  GI doc for an endoscopy. During the endoscopy, the GI doc will likely biopsy the lining of the small bowel lining to check for the damage caused by celiac disease. This would be for confirmation of the results of the blood tests and is considered the gold standard of celiac disease diagnosis. But here is some difficult information I have for you. If your husband has been gluten free already for months leading up to the endoscopy/biopsy, it will likely invalidate the biopsy and result in a false negative. Starting the gluten free diet now will allow the lining of the small bowel to begin healing and if enough healing takes place before the biopsy happens, there will be no damage to see. How far out is the endoscopy scheduled for? There still may be time for your husband to go back on gluten, what we call a "gluten challenge" to ensure valid test results.

      Are they close to a drug that will help celiacs with cross contamination

      By kate g · Posted

      Ive read articles that there is stage 2 research being conducted for drugs that will limit damage to celiacs through cross contamination- how close are they to this will there be enough funding to create a mainstream drug?
