Anyone Else Have Trouble With Canned Tuna That Has Broth In It?

I have discovered that I can only eat tuna packed in olive oil. The others even those with soy oil have broth in them and I get sick later. Soy doesn't seem to be a problem for me, so it is something in the broth. I am gluten-free and casein free. Any ideas what is causing me to be affected by the broth? Wondering. :rolleyes:

I had to go read my can of tuna :lol: My tuna has vegetable broth and an allergy warning for soy. It is bumble-bee albacore tuna. I have not had any troubles with it and I seem to be sensitive. However, I remember watching Julia Child and Jaques Pepin talking about can tuna and how Julia said the tuna must be packed in oil! Julia seemed to think it was close to a sin to have tuna packed in water/broth. Julia would advise you (on taste alone) to stick with the tuna in olive oil. I think I might have to agree with her, it tastes better.

Hi,

I have never been able to find tuna packed only in water. The cans I have looked at always say water on the front but then broth is listed in the ingredients also. What kind do you buy? Thanks!

I only have tuna in water also and it is the only kind that I have ever had. I buy Oceans, Clover Leaf or Gold Seal. The ingredients are normally tuna, salt, water and some have a preservative such as disodium phosphate.

Vegetable broth is pretty much the standard in tuna. There's no gluten. Tuna, like other meats, must by USDA law list any grain added. The only time I've found a tuna with gluten was a flavored one in a packet that had soy sauce.

I have never found tuna that contained gluten either, except for the mixes. I do always buy tuna in water and that water as a rule is a soy-based broth and it does bother me, just as I can't use regular mayo, I have to buy canola mayo. The only tuna I have found in the local stores is Bumble Bee in the foil pouch, does not contain soy.

HERE IS WHERE THE PROBLEM WITH OUR FOOD IS:

"Tuna, like other meats, must by USDA law list any grain added."

USDA does nothing to preserve the good quality and taste of foods anymore. I have given up tuna and poultry completely because of the added solutions. :angry:

I have problems with the ones that have soy, I use a water only brand. I believe it is Starkist Gourmet in a gold can. That one I have no problem with.

      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

      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.

      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.
