I have been on a GF diet for 3.5 years now.

I have noticed from time to time that I feel minor coeliac symptoms. I
am very careful not to eat anything which might concievably contain
gluten, so this was worrying.

I realised recently that these episodes occurred after I had eaten
poultry, usually chicken, sometimes turkey.

I know alot of poultry are fed a grain diet but I had assumed that the
gluten would have been metabolised by the birds and that I couldn't
pick up gluten from poultry meat.

Or am I barking up the wrong tree completely here?

Comments anyone?

Tom.

And you are sure its "unadulterated" poultry? By that I mean, there's no
"injected" or marinated enhancements (WalMart is well known for that
with their meat). The enhancements sometimes contain gluten and/or MSG.
Other possibilities are contaminated coatings, cooking oils, or utensils.

From what I have read over the years, animals that eat grains aren't a
problem for us. More info. is available on the web.

Tom, I haven't been hit yet by gluten in chicken I've bought at the grocery
store. But I do know the self-basting birds are not always GF but most of
the raw chicken sold in the grocery store is injected with broth and salt.
But I still check the package, email, call, etc.

I've been nailed by grilled chicken a couple of times in restaurants, once
in an airport, once in a regular sit-down kind of place -- both supposedly
unseasoned. I now order unseasoned beef, pork or salmon if I'm think it's
iffy (grilled salmon is one dish they don't seem to have figured out how to
"glutenize" yet). I haven't run into a problem with this strategy yet but I
still make sure there's no marinade or seasonings when it's served to me. I
think it may be more of an issue in restaurant food where they worry about
the meat drying out before it's served.

If you ate sliced lunch meat or precooked meat, it may have had modified
food starch in it.
