Gluten As A Growing Medium.

If mushrooms are grown in rye berries ( rye seeds, basically, not gluten-free friendly ), will the mushrooms be gluten free? I saw a thread about eating chicken that was fed oats, etc and that causing a reaction, but what about plants. Not really concerned about the meat as I don't enjoy it, but this might be a problem.

I guess the broader question is do plants transfer what they are fed and grown in to the fruit they produce thus making them the gluten-free's foe? Would this be different root vegetables? Potatoes, carrots, onions, etc?

Starting to question this after no improvement in symptoms with 4 months of gluten-free goodness.

Help from growers and vegetable enthusiasts is appreciated.

Chickens eating oats would not cause a reaction. I am not sure about the mushrooms - I highly doubt it though.

Erm no definitive answer ...

Why take the risk?

I think a black and white answer would be no but why do grapes make different wine depending on the soil and what else grows around them?

I don't think the mushrooms would be absorb it and then thus become a gluten risk but the gills under the caps and the outside of the mushroom would have a high risk of CC in my opinion. I wouldn't eat them.

Thanks for the input on this topic guys. I guess I never thought about the CC under the gills or on the outside of the fungus, but I guess that would make sense. I think I might email a professor at my college about this and see what they have to say. If I find anything more out on this topic, I'll be sure to post it for reference.

Thanks!

I wouldn't be concerned about the mushroom containing gluten, but I would make sure I washed them to avoid CC. Same with chicken. If a chicken eats oats, it metabolizes the oats and turns it into energy which in turn builds the muscle we eat. It's no longer in gluten-form.

What about the undigested food in the crop and stomach? Or even partially digested food in the intestine?

I did think about this. If you're buying chicken breasts or whole chickens with the guts taken out, there *should* be no CC. But I'm not so sure that the intestines and stomach never get cut into so there's definitely a risk there. I'm not sure if there's a final washing step at the end of the process that would reduce this risk. Maybe the solution is to wash chicken ourselves? In the general scheme of things, this is a fairly low-risk area. Industrial chickens in the USA are feed mostly corn, so you'd have to have several things go wrong for there to be CC issues.

      @sillyyak52, If it makes you feel any better, I have a sibling who thinks the dinner table (at fine dining restaurants, and less formal pub grub settings etc.) is a personal buffet table and dips into the food of whoever is sitting beside or opposite to them just to get a taste (no plate is safe!) ... never asks for permission ... and has no consideration of gluten cross contamination even though I've explained it diplomatically with articles, pictures of dermatitis herpetiformis (which I've had for years) like @knitty kitty and I both suggest you do. I avoid that sibling at restaurants now and sit at the opposite end of the table out of arms reach! I've had similar treatment at a recent siblings 60th BBQ with family and friends (brought my own food and burger), where I was told (in a very rude manner) "tough luck, there's nowhere safe ... just cook your burger on the BBQ" which was cross contaminated ... I stood my ground and asked for a clean frying pan to cook my burger safely and separately.

      knitty kitty makes a good point. Avocados are high in histamines. So are bananas. Both also trigger histamine production in the body when consumed so there's a double whammy with those two foods for those struggling with histamine intolerance/MCAS

      @Sharke, The updated guidelines for a gluten challenge are to eat ten grams of gluten per day for two weeks minimum.  Lesser amounts of gluten (3 grams) don't provoke an immune response strong enough that the antibodies leave the gastrointestinal tract and get into the blood where they can be measured in tTg blood tests.   Have no doubt that the antibodies made in the small intestine are doing damage there, even if you don't suffer severe symptoms, yet. Did you react to barley prior to going gluten free? Have you been checked for chronic autoimmune gastritis which is another autoimmune disease that sometimes occurs with Celiac Disease? Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Thiamine deficiency (Gastrointestinal Beriberi) can cause constipation and/or diarrhea, abdominal pain, and weight loss.   Thiamine Deficiency Disorders https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8451766/

      @sillyyak52, Count another one in the same boat!  My family has always been in denial.  They said my tummy aches were a ploy to miss school.  My parents passed from health problems associated with uncontrolled Celiac Disease (Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm and Glioblastoma brain tumor).  My sister still has her head buried in the sand.   I agree with @Rogol72, try the consequences of untreated celiac disease shock treatment.  Sometimes people are just scared of having to change their comfortable lifestyle.
