Wheat In Beef Jerky?

:angry: I can't believe I shoved some beef jerky in my mouth and within 20 minutes I started belching it up and severe aches in my sides! I still have them. I mean, I've also been on my feet all day in crappy sneakers....but damn, this hurts. I'd take a Tylenol, but I'm not sure if I can take that because I started taking Prozac now. I think it should be Ok....I've only been taking it for two days now.

I read the ingredients of the beef jerky bag and it stated contents contain: Wheat, Soy and something else.

Why would there be wheat in beef jerky?

Seriously, gluten can be in everything. This is why it is so important to check labels. I wouldn't think they would put wheat products in makeup or lunch meats but they do. Check everything.

Oh Boy Oberto has several flavors of beef and turkey jerky that are gluten free, we found it at Wal Mart.

Open Original Shared Link

look under FAQ's and it lists which flavors are gluten free.

A number of beef jerkys have soy sauce, most of which have wheat.

Yep, soy sauce to provide salt as a preservative/flavoring or modified food starch to help bind the seasonings are usually the culprits. Oberto and Tillamook both produce gluten-free beef jerkey, or you can make your own fairly easily.

It seems that every morning I wake up I am congested as hell, my eyes water, my ears itch, and I have horrible stomach rumblings, and I burp. I had a bowl of Bryers vanilla ice cream around 10:30pm...so maybe that's bothering me this morning. This is crazy. At work, it's difficult to remember instructions. ALthough, my mental sharpness, comes and goes....

I've been taking this Clidinium for IBS/and anxiety. But now I'm into day 4 taking Prozac. I know it takes about four weekd to to feel any effects of this stuff. Tomorrow I get all my blood work done. I have to call the clinic and straighten out the details because my medical benefits just started, so I'm not sure what's all covered.

      Neurologic symptoms - Muscle Twitching and Hand Tremors

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Sorry but I don't have specific recommendations for doctors, however, starting out with good multivitamins/minerals would make sense. You may want to get your doctor to screen you for where you different levels are now to help identify any that are low, but since you're newly diagnosed within the past year, supplementation is usually essential for most celiacs.

      Test uncertainty

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, I can imagine. My celiac journey started with a rejection of a blood donation by the Red Cross when I was 37 because of elevated liver enzymes. I wasn't a drinker and my family doctor checked me for hepatitis and I was not overweight. No answers. I thought no more about it until six years later when I landed a job in a healthcare setting where I got annual CMP screenings as part of my benefits. The liver enzymes were continually elevated and creeping up every year, though they were never super high. My primary care doc had no clue. I got really worried as your liver is pretty important. I finally made an appointment with a GI doc myself and the first thing he did was test me for celiac disease. I was positive. That was in about 1996. After going on a gluten-free diet for three months the liver enzymes were back in normal range. Another lab that had gotten out of whack that has not returned to normal is albumin/total protein which are always a little on the low side. I don't know what that's about, if it's related to the liver or something else like leaky gut syndrome. But my doctors don't seem to be worried about it. One thing to realize is that celiac disease can onset at any stage of life. There is a genetic component but there is also an epigenetic component. That is, the genetic component is not deterministic. It only provides the potential. There needs also to be some health or environmental stressor to activate the latent gene potential. About 40% of the population have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually do.

      Does this definitely suggest Coeliac Disease?

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hello @Heather Hill You are most welcome.  As a longstanding member and now mod of the forum, I am ashamed to say I find numbers and figures very confusing, so I rarely stray into the realms of explaining markers. (I've self-diagnosed myself with dyscalculia!)  So I will leave that to @Scott Adams or another person. However as a British person myself I quite understand that the process with the NHS can take rather a long time.  But just as you made a concerted effort to eat gluten before your blood test, I'd advise doing the same with eating gluten before a biopsy, in order to show if you are reacting to gluten.  It might be worth contacting the hospital or your GPs secretary to find out if they know what the current waiting time is. Here is a page from Coeliac UK about the current NHS recommendations. https://www.coeliac.org.uk/information-and-support/coeliac-disease/getting-diagnosed/blood-tests-and-biospy/#:~:text=If you remove or reduce,least six weeks before testing.

      Thanks again. My mom was diagnosed over 50 years ago with celiac so grew up watching her deal with the challenges of food. I have been tested a few times prior due to this but these results have me a bit stunned. I have a liver disease that has advanced rapidly with no symptoms and an allergy that could be a contributing factor that had no symptoms. I guess I’ll call it lucky my Dr ordered a rescreen of a liver ultrasound from 5 years ago that triggered this or I would likely have tripped into cirrhosis. It’s all pretty jarring.

      Many thanks for your responses, much appreciated.  The tests did include tTg IgA and all the other markers mentioned.  I also had sufficient total IgA so if I'm reading the Mayo clinic thing correctly, I didn't really need the anti-deaminated gliadin marker? So, if I am reading the information correctly do I conclude that as all the other markers including tTg IgA and DGP IgG and tTg IgG and EMA IgA are all negative, then the positive result for the immune response to gliadin, on it's own, is more likely to suggest some other problem in the gut rather than Coeliac disease? Until I have a view from the medics (NHS UK) then I think I will concentrate on trying to lower chronic inflammation and mend leaky gut, using L glutamine and maybe collagen powder. Thank you for your help so far.  I will get back in touch once I have a response, which sadly can take quite a long time.   Kindest Heather Hill
