Pretty much all untreated meats should be fine.

I'm not sure where favoring Tyson would come from.

People may favor organic or grass-fed or free-range etc but I think when I've seen ppl prefer a certain brand/source, it's for reasons beyond whether it's an untreated, uninjected, un-tampered-with whole food.

I buy most of my meats at Meijers. I find no difference between store brands and name brands aside from the price..and I'm very sensitive to any sort of additives.

The only thing that would make me question store brands is the chance of CC when the meats are cut up and packaged. Some stores sell pre-stuffed clams or pork chops, or seasoned meats like pork tenderloins. If they were seasoned with something containing gluten, cut up and packaged at the store, then they cut up and packaged the chicken with the same meat saw and on the same packaging table, there MIGHT be a chance of CC. I worked for a very short time at a meat store/butcher shop many years ago and saw the way they wiped things down between cuttings/packagings. They used a damp rag but no soap, and they certainly didn't break down the saw and give it a thourough cleaning until the end of the day.

Now, all that being said, I DO buy store brand meats sometimes, but have never had a problem. I think if I were super-sensitive I might not take the chance though.

I buy store brand fresh meats at several different stores, no problems thus far.

      I haven’t had any noticeable reactions to salt so I will continue using it. I think I just freaked out when I realized this but it doesn’t cause me any discomfort- so thanks!

      Ok, thanks. I'm so glad to hear you are in the hands of a dermatologist. I hope he/she has given you 1) a diagnosis; and 2) a plan of care with a couple of options so that you have buy-in and comfort with it. I have some ideas, but not having seen the abscesses or you in person, it doesn't really make sense for me to kind of ... speculate further. But your question was regarding gluten, and you've gotten a couple of other follow up questions and answers that are good, including the idea to keep a food diary. Let us know if we can help further or answer any other questions. I'm sorry you're going through this, it sounds very painful.

      @plumbago They appear as boils. They are big, like the size of a nickel--quarter, and they hurt when I touch them. I have gone to the same derm for them over and over and she thinks my body is colonized by a bacteria, but even after using hibiclens all over my body they come back.

      Welcome to the gluten-free community! It’s great to have you here. While gluten sensitivity or celiac disease can indeed cause skin issues, such as dermatitis herpetiformis (a blistering rash), abscesses in areas like the lower buttocks or thighs are less commonly linked directly to gluten. However, chronic abscesses could be a sign of an underlying immune or inflammatory condition, which might be worth discussing with a healthcare professional. Some people with gluten-related disorders also experience secondary issues like bacterial overgrowth or immune dysregulation, which could potentially contribute to recurrent infections. It’s always a good idea to explore all possible causes, including gluten sensitivity, with your doctor. In the meantime, keeping a food and symptom diary might help identify any patterns. Wishing you the best on your health journey!

      You say you have gluten sensitivity? Have you been officially diagnosed with celiac disease or do you refer to NCGS?
