I joined Sam's wholesale club shortly after being diagnosed (about two months ago) because I figured I would be eating more meat and fish now that I am going gluten free. I always enjoyed Sam's salmon in the past. Are their meat/fish products okay? I know the salmon says coloring has been added. Has anybody checked with Sam's in the past.

Thanks

Feel free to call their Butcher Dept at the store -- talk to the Manager/Supervisor

Then work yourself up the chain if they don't know...

Unless something is marinated or breaded or battered, meats/fish are pretty much gluten-free...

I eat Steak/hamburger and Grill Fish all the time...

Raw meat of any sort must by USDA law list stuff that adds nutrition, including wheat and barley, if it's there. All you have to do is reads the ingredients.

Check the ingredients on any pre-packaged items, but we use their fresh meats all the time and have had no problems. Wal-mart meats contain additives, but Sam's do not usually. It is easy for a family of our size to purchase the larger packages at Sam's and separate them into meal-sized groupings for the freezer. If I had to buy meats from most of the regular grocery chains, this family would have to become vegetarian.

They're pre-made roast chicken is not. The other night I got home from work and had to run to Sam's Club to develop pictures. I was starving so I figured I'd just get one of the pre-made roast chickens. Well I can't tell you how bummed I was when I saw it was rubbed with wheat flour. Who the heck rubs a chicken with wheat flour -grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!

Atleast I got my pictures taken care of : (

Yes!--We used to like having their chicken once in a while. I don't see why it has to have wheat, either. Its not like it's crispy or anything!

      High blood test numbers - with scales. Any advice?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @RMJ, you have multiple positive tests so celiac disease is likely.  This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease.

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By trents · Posted

      One small study found that 50% of celiacs react to the dairy protein "casein" like they do to gluten. It is also common for celiacs to be lactose (the sugar in milk) intolerant, though that often disappears in time as the villi heal. About 10% of celiacs react to the oat protein "avenin" like they do gluten.

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By K6315 · Posted

      Thank you so much Trents (Scott?)! I have started working with a dietitian and did a deep research dive as soon as I got the diagnosis. I am aware of what you mentioned in the first two paragraphs, and was not aware of anything in the third, so I am grateful for that information, and will talk to the dietitian about that. I think I was most interested in the withdrawal process - it gives me hope that, although I have felt unwell recently, I just need to be patient (not a strong suit). I have printed the article you sent and will look at it more closely. Thanks again!

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @K6315! Gluten withdrawal typically lasts for a period of a few weeks. But there is a real learning curve involved in actually attaining to a gluten free dietary state. Much more is involved than just cutting out major sources of gluten such as bread and pasta. It's all the places that gluten is hidden in the food supply that is difficult to ferret out, like soy sauce and canned tomato soup, canned chili and canned pork n' beans, some "lite" pancake syrups, potato salad, flavorings, etc., etc. Gluten-containing grain products are hidden through alternate terminology and found in places you would never expect.  There is also "cross contamination" where naturally gluten free foods come into contact with gluten-containing grains during farming, transportation, storage and manufacturing processes. Then there is the issue of "cross reactivity" whereby you may be having gluten-like reaction to food proteins whose structure is similar to gluten. Chief among these are dairy, oats (even gluten-free oats), soy, corn and eggs. I am including this article that you might find helpful:
