Kraft is good at labeling ingredients in their products as is con agra and hormel. There might be others too. I believe all Boar's head is gluten-free but the slicers at some stores may be CC by other products. I have found pre-packaged applegate (we buy the turkey) at whole foods. The best thing to do is look on the company's websites, usually in the FAQ section.

Hormel Naturals line has a roast beef. I eat it all the time. It is labeled gluten free on the back. It is with the other packaged lunch meats at the store and it comes in a zip lock type bag in a brown box. It's easy to find

Dietz & Watson has a learge gluten-free list of deli meats as well

Boar's Head. All of their products are gluten free and SO good. Minimally processed and preserved. A little expensive but definitely worth it.

General Mills and Unilever also explicitly label any gluten source.

Con Agra, General Mills, Kraft and Unilever own many brands that you might not immediately associate with them. But somewhere on the package you should find the ultimate owner.

A few brands they own that come to mind: VH, Lipton, Knorr, Bovril, Oscar Mayer, Green Giant, Cadbury, Nabisco, Jacobs, Planters, Maxwell House, Philadelphia, Becel, Hellmann's, Imperial, Wish-Bone, and Ragu. There are many more.

Read the label ingredients list.

Back to the original question. If the broth contains wheat, then as a top allergen it must be explicitly identified in both Canada and the United States. I can't imagine why rye or oats would be in broth. Even barley doesn't make sense to me.

Great! Thank you all! Should definitely be able to find some now.

This really shocked me. I am so glad really that we don't get all of the info about what we can't eat upfront, because it's just too overwhelming. But I'm so glad to know this. I asked the deli guy if he could clean the blade and he was glad to, but then I saw how much trouble it was and just asked if I could buy the entire thing of meat that was still wrapped. He said sure. It was expensive, but not as expensive overall as the Applegate products. Glad to know about Boar's Head. I love this site.

I found some Oscar Mayer Carving Board roast beef that is gluten free and very good!!! It's in the regular lunch meat section and you don't have to fool with the deli slicer.

Boar's Head--gluten-free and good. Ask the deli person to wipe the blade before cutting yours. Just a thought! :)

      In the US you don't need a referal to see a specialist if you are self pay. PPO you can go directly to any specialist or doctor you prefer. HMO you’ll choose a primary doctor to manage all your care. Pricing of the insurance will vary, as will prescriptions coverage.

      Welcome to the forum, @lsky! In Canada I believe your healthcare system is totally socialized so I doubt if you have the option of making direct appointments with specialists. In the U.S. it is becoming more and more that way as most people here now are covered by some government managed healthcare network and almost all providers and specialists are part of those networks. Here and there you will find independent providers that take private pay only but it is the exception. Both in Canada and in the U.S. I believe there is a concerted effort to always keep the PCP in the loop.

      I have had celiac disease since i was 7 and i've recently had worsening symptoms, I live in canada and the doctors right now are horrible so my general doctor never puts in my referrals or she does it wrong and i have to wait months-years for an answer. I was wondering I already have a Gastroenterologist, could i just contact him and ask to book an upcoming appointment? i'm not sure if it's different in canada or not.

      Welcome to the forum @Juliana82! Bleeding where? Thanks for the articles on seronegative celiac disease. As I recall, one of our moderators is seronegative and has been faithful to draw our attention to this phenomenon at different times. The heterozygous factor seronegative celiac disease is an important factoid I believe.

      With such a weak positive, his got may or may not be cleared in three months. My daughter when diagnosed at the age of seven had a TTG score of 388. It was 18 months on a gluten-free diet before her levels returned to normal. it seems to me that when you started something that allows your son to gain weight, as he clearly needs to do, you may want to keep doing it.  Sometimes you just need to figure out the science of it as you go along. Have you been tested?  That’s how I found out I had celiac disease, was after my daughter was diagnosed, and the recommendation given to me was that all of her first-degree relations should be tested as well. I came back with a weak positive when I was on a largely, though not entirely, gluten-free diet (cooking for my newly diagnosed child). good luck with everything.
