Ready cooked chicken usually contains dextrose which can cause problems in some coeliacs.
If it was already sliced chicken besides added wheat sugars the slices are often separated with flour!
no it was a barbi cook chicken didnt have the skin xx
Hi Barny, I remember when I was first diagnosed with cd, I asked the staff at my local Asda if the hot cooked chicken was safe to eat, and I was told it wasn't, something to do with the coating. I have bought cold cooked chicken from the Co-op and Tescos that I have ben ok, and usually avoid the hot, cooked chicken. Did you put any spread or butter on your sandwich, could that have been contaminated with breadcrumbs?
hiya judy i did my spread be4 went out so think it was the chicken did ask when i went there aswell so think i did have gluton been fine 2 day thank goodness i will be extra carfull in future lol xxx
ty all for your advice feel better now xxx
Wonder if possible to buy fresh chicken from butcher and be sure nothing ingected into flesh, or would they get super market type injected chicken.
hiya osborne have brought fresh chicken from buchers and had no trouble so it must of had coating on i brought turkey leg once from supermarket and had a reaction so be carefull xx
I asked at Morrisons hot chicken counter if the plain chicken was gluten free- they couldn't tell me!!!
can believe that aswell i havnt brought 1 since was diagnosed any way so its best xx
I can buy chicken leg/breast from Co-op and it suits me or the whole chicken but not extra tasty as that has coating on it my mate works behind the dele so I know it's right. All I can have from Tesco is whole chicken as the portions have coating.
ty fif it does help and there is a coap near me thanks a lot xxx
In addition to wheat sugar used to flavour the skin, ready cooked meat also sometimes contains wheat protein, i.e. gluten, throughout. The wheat protein is injected before cooking, so that when the meat is cooked it does not shrink, but retains the moisture. This means they can sell you moist meat, weighing more than it would if they had just cooked it normally.
I think this only applies in some varieties of sliced ham or pre-cooked chicken slices or portions, usually the cheaper ones (at least they seem cheaper, in fact you are paying for added water...).
If there is any gluten added this way, it will be on the label, so you can avoid it by reading the label.
