Broth?

I've read a couple times elsewhere on this board that companies add broth to raw chicken and, from these posts, it's my understanding that this broth is NOT gluten-free? I'm very confused. Could anyone clear this up for me?

Well, it's not that the broth is not gluten-free, it's that we may not know if it's gluten-free. Broth certainly can contain modified food starch, or natural flavors - two suspect ingredients. When I was in Ft. Wayne last week and hit the grocery store, they chicken (I think it was Purdee? I don't know... I dont' see it in CA a lot) said right on the package: "enhanced with up to 15% injected broth solution". It might be gluten-free, but I wasn't able to call the company.

I've always reacted to the broth that they put in chicken, pork, etc. I found a store in Denver that sells meat without the broth or any additives and haven't had a problem with it.

The local warehouse store sells Tyson's bagged frozen boneless chicken breasts which have broth added. When I called the company I was told that the chicken broth is gluten-free. I made the lady explain and she said they just boiled chicken and chicken parts in water and that was the broth which is added to the meat. I eat the chicken regularly and never have a problem.

According to the USDA, if a company includes wheat or barley in a broth or "flavor" in raw meat, they must clearly list the wheat or barley. Despite all the warnings we always get about this, I have yet to find wheat added to a raw or fresh poultry or pork.

There are, however, chemicals that might disagree with some people.

Thank you for your answers! It's boggling sometimes to figure this all out.

      @Tracey Thomas, Is that the only celiac test that was run? From the magnitude of the reference range, that looks like it was the "total IGA" test to check for IGA deficiency. It is not checking for celiac disease per se. If you are IGA deficient, it can cause false negatives in the individual IGA celiac antibody tests. Were there any other celiac antibody tests run?

      So yes I am aware that celiac is not an allergy. This is just the steps the doctors put me through. The Dermatologist results came back as a form of hives. A type I’ve never had so I didn’t think they were but test came back as a form of hives. So my celiac test iga was 229 the range was 70-400 so mine fell in normal range.

      Not sure if this is Celiac or just a gluten-free intolerance

      By MomofGF · Posted

      Where I live - Celiac is covered on our taxes and is considered a disability as well. So that’s one reason (not just for me because she is almost 18 but when she is out in the world and starts out, I would hate for her to be broke all the time and barely able to feed herself) but she also has many health issues that could be related to Celiac or maybe something else!! But that has to be taken off the table first. She has been so sick since she was 13/14 - dropping 20lbs because of this issue. Had her doctor thought about it then maybe we would have known but this was never tested. Her family doctor never told us what we needed to do aside from eat gluten. It wasn’t explained to us and maybe I should have came here first but I didn’t realize what it meant. Once I see the results online I will come back here with them. I took a pic of the req but it disappeared completely from my phone. I have a bad memory so I don’t remember what they tested for. thanks again for all advice. it is greatly appreciated  Nadia 😀👋

      dermatitis herpetiformis outbreaks while on strict gluten-free diet

      By Richardo · Posted

      Hi CDW. Some here may disagree with me on this site but, nothing ventured nothing gained. As long as my suggestion does no harm and is a possible help for your struggles I'll throw it out there. I have broached this in another forum.but I know this worked amazingly well for me as I too had return of dermatitis herpetiformis every 3 to 4 months for 4 years. with a month break then it would return. 1.I am 100% gluten free (I thought) 2.There is no problems with cross contamination with my diet. 3.My skin rash was confirmed as dermatitis herpetiformis by skin biopsy.  What I did last spring was go 100% grain free. No oats, corn or even rice. My rash was gone in 2 weeks and never came back intil I tested it 6 months later and ate rice 1 time and corn flour 1 time over a 3 day period. My rash started to come back. I quit again and it has been gone since. A huge relief for me. No more pain itching or unsightly rash ANYWHERE. A study was done in the UK showing that practically all grains contain some type of gluten but the rice corn and oats possibilities IS ALMOST NEVER mentioned in celiac related sites. Perhaps going grain free will help you, perhaps not, but I swear it did wonders for me and hopefully will help ypu too. Worth a try!

      Not necessarily. She may have NCGS and in that case doing a perfect gluten challenge would still yield negative antibody test scores. Don't beat yourself up over this.
