That is ridiculous. You would think they could prepare the meat far far away from the wholesome poisons! The word "wholesome" is a very unneccesary addition to that notice, in my opinion. At least they're warning people...but still.....

Again, I take the side of the grocery store. They have a limited amount of space and since there is a chance of cross contamination, they are disclosing it rather than keepng it a secret.

Instead of protesting (which will likely accomplish very little), a better idea would be to tour the meat/fish department with a local manager and make the determination yourself.

I never get upset with places that disclose a potential danger to me -- in fact, I am grateful for it.

In my experience, if you go and take a tour with the guys and see how they operate, I am sure you will see the chance for cross-contamination is very low.

Then again, everyone has their own opinion about this stuff. I can certainly sympathize with the urge to complain to them.

it does seem a little ridiculous they refer to them as 'wholesome' because clearly anyone concerned about the addition of these ingredients wouldn't view them as "wholesome"

Personally a tour would not work for me, it could be different from day to day depending on who's working. It may give you a general idea of how much they clean up and handle cross contamination but I think it only does for that staff, that day.

I just don't like that at all, it seems like the day could come when we can't eat food from the grocery store (what do I have to raise my own chickens and a cow now?). I've seen stores with similar signs in the deli counter because of the seasonings that are on some of the deli meats, now I may not be able to eat fresh meats, fish, chicken... I bet this could apply to the cheese department because I know some cheese has gluten in it and they cut it right there in the cheese department (most likely with the same cutting board and knives). Where does it stop, I wonder.....

It could be there is actually a chance of CC or it could be Publix' attorney told them to post this warning just in case. Sounds like they're simply listing those top 8 allergens in the new law to cover their rears.

Has their fresh meat ever made you sick that you know of? Do you ever eat out. If you do, believe me yours odds of CC are much higher at the restaurant.

FYI-I ask the deli to wipe down the machine before cutting my meat. They are very nice, and clean it for me. Maybe your store would do the same?

      Years of testing - no real answers

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      The intestinal tract can be as long as twenty-two feet long, so intestinal damage may be out of the reach of endoscopy tools.  Some people have had more success with capsule endoscopy, but this method cannot take biopsies.

      What should I do with these test results?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Jack Common, It's possible that your antibiotic for giardiasis has caused thiamine deficiency.   https://hormonesmatter.com/metronidazole-toxicity-thiamine-deficiency-wernickes-encephalopathy/ And... Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/ For clarification, the weight of your slice of bread is not equal to the amount of gluten in it.   Gluten helps form those big holes in breads, so breads like thick chewy pizza crust and artisan breads contain more gluten than cakes and cookies.

      Guidance on next steps after the lab tests

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Sorry about that link.  It was meant for a different post.   Do consider taking high dose Vitamin D in order to get your level up to around 80 nm/l quickly.   This is the level where Vitamin D can properly work like a hormone and can improve the immune system and lower inflammation.  It makes a big difference.   I took high dose Vitamin D and really improved quickly.  I ate Vitamin D supplements throughout the day like m&ms.  My body craved them.  Very strange, I know, but it worked.   Before you have surgery, you really need to improve your vitamins and minerals.  Vitamins A and D, Vitamin C and Niacin are extremely important to skin health and repair.  Without these, the body does not repair itself neatly.  I've got a scar worthy of a horror movie.  My doctors were clueless about nutritional deficiencies. A sublingual Vitamin B12 supplement will work better for boosting levels.  Tablets or liquid drops in the mouth are easily absorbed directly into the blood stream.   Do bear in mind that about half of Celiac people react to the protein in dairy, Casein, the same as they react to gluten because segments of the protein in Casein resembles segments of the protein Gluten.  Some people lose the ability to produce lactase, the enzyme that digests Lactose, the sugar in dairy, as they age.  Others lose the ability to produce lactase because the intestinal Villi become damaged during the autoimmune response against gluten, and damaged chili can't produce lactase.   Do try Benfotiamine.  It has been shown to improve gastrointestinal health and neuropathy. Keep us posted on your progress!

      Thanks sending me additional links including how to test for thiamine deficiency. With regards to your first link, I wasn't diagnosed with giardiasis and I didn't take antibiotic for it. I try to generally stay away from antibiotic unless absolutely necessary as it might affect gut health. For treating phimosis, the doctor didn't give me antibiotics. I need to have a circumcision surgery which I haven't got around to schedule it.

      Guidance on next steps after the lab tests

      I'm not vegan, just vegetarian. I consume dairy but not egg. So I have started including some Vitamin D fortified milk as well as a multivitamin with 2000 IU daily. For Vitamin B12, like you said it's very difficult to get it from just vegetarian sources and have started consuming Vitamin B Complex daily. My PCP was worried when my Vitamin D result came out as It was 3.7 ng/ml last year. He said that being low for a lengthy time could have done some damage to the body over the years. Now, though Vitamin D level has improved after the supplements, I'm not sure if the neurological damage has already been done. I'll continue including the supplements and see if my symptoms improve. I'll also get tested for celiac to see if I need to be in gluten-free diet.
