Gluten In Some Animal Meats?

Just wondering if anyone out there has experienced one particular animal meat that seems to cause problems for them - almost like getting glutened???

I am suspecting some venison from a deer I got this past fall. Each time I eat either steaks or roasts from it (all seasoned/cooked with gluten-free ingredients), I get glutened-type reactions. Though not as bad as if I got glutened, they are still bad enough. I get cramps, bloated, constipated (yes, that is the different part!), etc...

I suspect that because I hunt in an area mainly surrounded by wheat, barley, and rye farmers, that maybe the deer could eat enough to have it pass into their meat too? I do not have this probelm with any beef or pork though, which I am sure at times are fed grains as well.

Anyone out there have this problem??? I know how to solve it - just stop eating venison, but I just want to know if it is just venison, or if this concept is possible???? :wacko:

Gluten does not pass through in meats. So if you are having a problem, it is not gluten related.

It IS possible to react to the meat itself. I have many intolerances, including a couple of meats, and my reactions are similar to if I had ingested gluten.

I know few people who get gassy with venison or moose meat, I get gassy and a bit uncomfortable with it... Anytime you eat a food that you dont have frequently , it can cause digestive symptoms . I dont have problem with beef, or chicken and a lot of beef animals/chickens are grain fed

I've eaten deer, elk and moose, and have no problem gluten wise with any of them. However, they do tend to be a bit more coarse than beef, so perhaps causing a bit of an up set tummy.

As well, they are extremely lean compared to beef, although I don't know if that would be a problem for anyone or not.

It's possible to be allergic to meat. My mom is allergic to chicken.

Yep, it is not a problem. The proteins in the grains are metabolized by the digestive system and not directly 'stuck' into the proteins in the muscle of the animal.

Thought this might be of interest:

In fact, a wilderness survival guide I read talks about how a diet composed of nothing but game meat will lead to diarrhea and hence dehydration, because there is not enough fat for all the protein to be digested, so it passes right through you and causes digestive upset.

Yes, I've seen that happen even with dogs and wild meat.

      Bloodwork Help for my Teen

      By Sarah Marie · Posted

      Is it worth it to remove gluten before they potentially do an endoscopy & biopsy? I thought I read it’s best to be eating gluten for 3 months prior to it. So hoping they have a cancellation and call us in sooner.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By Aleda D · Posted

      Thank you for the warning. I get blood tests twice a year to check where I stand with the vitamins I regularly take, so I appreciate the extra reminder. I know some vitamins don’t build up but now I will watch the B6 for sure.

      High dosage of B12 gave me life.

      I think you would do well to take a high potency B-complex such that you get more balanced dosage across the spectrum of B vitamins. They work in concert.

      Around 5 years ago I visited Tokyo, and luckily had my sister in law with me who is from there, otherwise it would have been more difficult. The bottom line is that there are tons of naturally gluten-free food options there, but you need to be able to communicate your needs to restaurant staff. Here is a gluten-free restaurant card for American visitors in Tokyo. It includes a request for a gluten-free meal and mentions common gluten-containing ingredients to avoid, like soy sauce and miso. English: Thank you. Japanese:   You can also download the Google Translate app, and besides being able to help you speak with people there about this, it has a camera app that translates Japanese text to English in your camera, so you can use it when shopping in a supermarket.
