to ban DD from eating chicken

🤦🏻‍♀️

Chicken nuggets are not chicken !!!!
they are full of crap
try healthy roast chicken no upf

There’s no such thing as an ‘intolerance’ test anyway so don’t waste your money and buy one online or think a GP can do that.
A GP can discuss the symptoms though as there may very well be a completely different cause

I'm absolutely baffled by the people suggesting op needs to waste gp time getting a formal diagnosis of some kind of chicken intolerance. Literally if you eat something and it makes you ill just stop eating it. I have no idea what has happened to common sense in this day and age.

By all means experiment by reintroduction, but there's a good chance she doesn't tolerate chicken well. My partner has the exact same issue, he can't eat any chicken at all. He's been vegetarian for years now and prefers. Could your daughter try some chicken replacement?

Also, people exclude whole food groups for religious reasons, moral reasons, taste preference, allergies, etc and it's not going to lead to eating disorders FFS. I have had anorexia for years and it has nothing to do with if my mum fed me vegan nuggets or chicken nuggets as a child.

Really, that's weird, I'm currently waiting for an gluten intolerance test!

I think that GP's have their own views on what they think works in these kind of circs....hopefully they are more evidence based now but you still get varying advice. I had a similar thing when I was working in the NHS where its taken very seriously indeed because of passing it around the patients. I had to send samples, stay at home until I was 48 hours clear and stay hydrated. Local NHS infection control, who dealt with it, sent me to my own GP for a consultation but told me under no circumstances to take the medication (loperamide) which he prescribed saying that it would only delay recovery. The thing with stuff like viral D and V (which this was) is that it will run its course in a healthy person. Sometimes, rarely, the course is a long one and people will think that whatever they were doing when the thing ends is the thing that fixed it...like telogen effluvium and hair growth shampoos. Correlation does not mean causation.

I have been told to keep off chicken by a go while I was trying to shift a d&v bug that had rumbled in to 2 nearly 2 weeks. I was also told to avoid dairy but eat lots of salty peanuts and crisps.

I agree with everyone saying go to the Dr and with those saying try plain chicken.

I have lactose intolerance and my symptoms are similar to your DD. I'm not saying that she has this, I'm just explaining that it can take you by surprise.

So I don't drink milk, I can tolerate cheese and I can use milk in cooking in small amounts eg milk in mashed potato.

But I had a reaction after trying some new sausages. I also once had a reaction after eating a chicken kebab in a pub. I would not have thought either would have lactose in them.

Before going to the Dr it might be worth keeping a food diary for a week or two.

This reminds me so much of my mother, except she wouldn't dream of asking anybody what they thought, if she decided something, that was it.

There were so many things she banned when what would have solved everything would have been not saying the doctors were stupid and making it up because everybody knows it's impossible to be allergic to bread and milk (she couldn't read or say Coeliac, so called it allergic instead).

She'd have probably bought the crappy vegan nuggets rather than buy chicken, too. And then complain if I chucked up or wouldn't eat them.

I have never heard chicken being a common cause for bloating and stomach pain and if this is the first food you think to try eliminate, it sounds more like an agenda. I would have thought going to a specialist and get tested would be a good idea. Normal trigger would be processed food, oily food, lactose and gluten. Other than seafood, chicken is probably one of the easiest meat to digest.

Yet another OP who hasn't returned to her thread. This is getting ridiculous.

If you replace chicken with turkey, does she still have issues?

if the child is eating bread cake biscuits, flour based goods of any kind without problem then its not the gluten in the nuggets. Same with the egg.

Absolutely. It's bonkers.

It's amusing that because your child eats chicken nuggets which are UPF and gets a bad stomach you assume it's the chicken... Try making some home made ones where you know what's in them.

I'd bet my bottom dollar it's more than likely gluten or egg.

"It's not the chicken it's gluten coating the nuggets"
Do all these PP not realise how idiotic this sounds? Cutting out nuggets isn't going to remove any significant amount of gluten from the average diet. It wouldn't show a difference unless all other sources of gluten were also being removed - bread, pasta, biscuits, cake, etc.

You have to trial the food again to test it. It also takes more than a week to do an elimination diet and reintroduction.

also if she is eating chicken nuggets, it could be the breading or another ingredient and not chicken itself.

If her idea of "chicken" is deep fried chicken nuggets I would look at gluten intolerance and digestive problems relating to eating too much fatty over-processed food (low or high stomach acid, gallbladder problems, gastritis, pancreatic problems etc). I doubt eating steamed chicken breast would create any problems for anyone.

Chicken is so rarely an allergen. This is partly why I don’t agree with a vegan diet for children.

Chicken isn't a common cause of stomach issues at all!! Look at fodmaps lots of common foods can trigger issues. What else is she eating with the chicken eg. Breadcrumbs, onions?

Yeah, ban her.
More stuff you "ban", more sneaky ways, dishonesty and hiding will be invented.
😁

Get her some southern fried Quorn nuggets and other veggie nugget options.

It might actually be something else like gluten. For example to gluten (wheat) in chicken nugget coating. Chicken would be quite unusual to react to.

The OP just said "chicken" which is GF. She didn't say they'd cut out cereals or bread which are not GF.

I often have to cater for a coeliac. Gluten is hiding everywhere.

I have IBS and gluten doesn't trigger it for me. Its one of the problems with IBS is that its diagnosed by ruling out everything else, its basically a bunch of symptoms (syndrome) that can have different causes for different people and can be caused by different stuff.
