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.

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

      By trents · Posted

      @KRipple, thank you for the lab results from your husband's celiac disease blood antibody testing. The lab result you share would seem to be the tTG-IGA (Tissue Transglutaminase IGA) and the test result is in excess of 10x normal. This is significant as there is an increasing tendency for physicians to grant a celiac disease diagnosis on the basis of antibody testing alone when the scores on that particular test exceed 10x normal. This trend started in the UK during the COVID pandemic when there was tremendous pressure on the medical system over there and it has spread to the USA. The tTG-IGA is the centerpiece of celiac disease blood antibody testing. All this to say that some doctors would grant a celiac disease diagnosis on your husband's bloodwork alone and not feel a need to go forward with an endoscopy with biopsy. This is something you and your husband might wish to take up with his physicians. In view of his many health issues it might be wise to avoid any further damage to his small bowel lining by the continuing consumption of gluten and also to allow healing of such to progress. The lining of the small bowel is the place where essentially all of our nutrition is absorbed. This is why celiac disease when it is not addressed with a gluten free diet for many years typically results in additional health problems that are tied to nutritional deficiencies. The millions and millions of tiny finger-like projections that make up the nutrient absorbing surface of the small bowel lining are worn down by the constant inflammation from gluten consumption. In celiac disease, the immune system has been tricked into labeling gluten as an invader. As these finger-like projections are worn down, the efficiency of nutrient absorption becomes more and more compromised. We call this villous atrophy.

      Thank you so much! And sorry for not responding sooner. I've been scouring the hospital records and can find nothing other than the following results (no lab info provided): Component Transglutaminase IgA   Normal Range: 0 - 15.0 U/mL >250.0 U/mL High   We live in Olympia, WA and I will be calling University of Washington Hospital - Roosevelt in Seattle first thing tomorrow. They seem to be the most knowledgeable about complex endocrine issues like APS 2 (and perhaps the dynamics of how APS 2 and Celiacs can affect each other). His diarrhea has not abated even without eating gluten, but that could be a presentation of either Celiac's or Addison's. So complicated. We don't have a date for endoscopy yet. I will let my husband know about resuming gluten.    Again, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with me!

      Hi Phosphone, did you ever figure out what elevated your DGP?  I am in the same boat.

      Scott makes a good point about the prednisone. It has a general suppressing effect on the immune system. Don't misunderstand me. In view of your husband's several autoimmune afflictions, it would seem to be an appropriate medication therapy but it will likely invalidate endoscopy/biopsy test results for celiac disease.
