Wal-mart Raw Chicken Leg & Thigh Pieces Gluten-free?

Hi,

Does anyone know if Wal-Mart's Raw Chicken Leg & Thigh Pieces are Gluten-Free -- the large bag they carry in the meat section? There are flavoring additives in the meat, and I saw on the web that the meat may not be gluten-free. Does anyone know for sure? Where did you get the information?

Which store brands of raw chicken are safe? Does anyone have a source for a list they might share?

I no longer have the packaging and plan to check the next time I'm at Wal-Mart. The family member who made the chicken for me said he checked the package it it seemed okay, but without my looking at it, I'm not sure.

I'm still learning where to go to research all this stuff on my own, so if anyone has links, etc., they'd be welcome.

Thank you so much!

All plain meat/chicken products will list gluten. If it doesn't say wheat/rye/barley/malt in the ingredients, its not there. USDA law requires it to be listed as you describe. See the posts by lovegrov in this recent thread for more info: https://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/index.ph...c=62440&hl=

If you go to that thread meantioned I put a link there to the page put up by the USDA. If there are flavorings added the ingredients of those flavorings do not need to be disclosed. I usually call a company to make sure if a meat has broth or flavorings added.

If it is a Wal-Mart brand, it will say gluten free on it.

And as the USDA has told me numerous times, it doesn't matter what part of the additives to raw meat, ALL grains must be listed. Period. With meat, just read the ingredients. It's very easy.

      What would a diagnosis tell me?

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      Yes that's why I'm holding off on getting tested until after the summer so no Russian roulette bathroom escapades then I will reintroduce and get tested. The vitamins aren't a supplement they are frozen fruits and vegetables that you blend with water so it's natural fruit and veggies that I have used for 5 years daily. I don't take supplements I did full vitamin bloodwork and all great levels for what I need.

      any advice would be helpful

      There's a Vegetarian version of the Autoimmune Protocol Diet. There are vegetables that can provide Calcium...broccoli, kale, lentils, tofu.  Talking to a nutritionist can help identify vegetables that can provide you with the minerals and vitamins you need.  Getting dietary advice is part of proper follow up care for people with Celiac disease. tTg testing is used for diagnostic purposes.  It should not be used to signify compliance or healing.

      Ten grams of gluten per day for two weeks or longer is needed to get antibody levels up high enough so that they can be measured in the blood stream and intestinal damage can be seen in the small intestines.   HOWEVER,  only THREE grams if gluten is needed to produce symptoms...like running to the bathroom.   Some people have much worse symptoms after reintroducing gluten, even with amounts of gluten much less than three grams.  So...getting glutened or cross contamination is a real concern.   You'll be playing Russian Roulette on your vacation.   If you got vitamin levels tested while taking a nutritional shake with vitamins, you've simply measured the vitamins from the shake.  You need to be off vitamin supplementation for eight weeks prior to vitamin testing.  Were more than Vitamin D and B12 tested???  "Normal" levels of these two vitamins don't mean that you're not deficient in the other eleven essential vitamins.  Vitamin D and B12 can be stored in the body a lot longer than the other vitamins, especially the other B vitamins like thiamine. Enjoy your vacation!

      Elimination diet think I may be Gluten tolerant next steps to get tested? Questions

      By trents · Posted

      Mostly because of the inconsistency/irregularity of your symptoms with regard to gluten consumption and other dietary factors. Their doesn't seem to be a real pattern. Histamines are produced by our bodies themselves but they are also found in the foods we eat and the air we breathe (pollen). Certain foods, for example, fermented and aged products, are very high in histamines. Other foods, like bananas and avocados, may be high in histamines but they also may stimulate the body's production of histamines. The body (in the gut) produces a histamine regulating chemical called DAO (Diamine Oxidase). Some people, and this is more common in the celiac community because of damage to the gut lining, don't produce enough DAO to adequately regulate histamine levels in the body. This results in histamine "storms" that produce a variety of symptoms such as headaches, acid reflux and diarrhea. So, I'm just wondering if your symptoms are tied to fluctuating histamine levels that get pushed passed the tipping point at times by various things you may be eating. Anyway, you might want to research it. I also wonder if you have IBS.
