to ban DD from eating chicken

You can't test for intolerance. The only test is remove suspected foods from the diet, see if symptoms go, and then see if they return when the food is reintroduced.

Keep a food diary - and maybe at quiet time re-introduce with plain chicken and see if there is an effect. Also see if something like turkey is fine.

I wouldn't rule out chicken being the issue - DD1 reacted to carrots though outgrew it - but number of people who insist not possible was just odd and we'd kept food diary and it was clearly the issue.

By all means try and get GP intertest - I don't know if we been spectacular unlucky with GP but I think many are poor with allergies and are disinclined to refer even for condition that have dragged on and clearly need it.

Depending on her age - explaining you think stomach issue are chicken - I'd expect her to want to find alternatives and avoid it.

You need to speak to a qualified medical professional to find out whether your DD needs to stop eating chicken or anything else. Please don’t cut out her favourite foods without finding out what is causing the symptoms.

Why don’t you do something more scientific like FODMAP?

My previous (and current dog too) would suffer awful diarrhoea after eating chicken yet chicken and rice is the advice given for dog's tummy woes.

What kind of chicken is it? How is it cooked? It seems like an easy solution to me to just cut it. But a quick google says to see a G.P and go from there. It sounds like she intolerant to me.

It is possible to survive without chicken, it’s the worst protein you can eat. The way it’s prepared for a start- 🤢

Way more likely to be dairy or gluten or eggs. Chicken is not a common allergy

OP, you don't give your daughter's age. After a certain age you cannot ban them from eating things and if you try, they'll do it anyway.

Are chicken nuggets not wrapped in breadcrumbs or batter which would not be gluten free? I've never had them but have seen them and they look that way.

Most people can take a bit of gluten unless they are particularly sensitive to it but not much. May the child's meals/snacks are generally processed like the nuggets, who knows?

You may be right? But there may be something else why she is not digesting the chicken. Did she have a bug before this? Have you seen a dr?

I had similar when DD1 was 2. In my mind it was dairy which I cut down as the drs didn’t have am answer for the problem.

I think she had a bug before and it took her awhile to get over it, fully recovered so she lost the enzyme to diggest it, I introduced milk and dairy later on and she was fine.

I would just let her eat it if she wants. It’s her who has to face the consequences if it doesn’t agree with her again.
How old is she?

I am not sure that you can stop her without getting her on board. There is an old saying "correlation is not causation" I don't think you have done enough to say "Its chicken, no more chicken for you!"

I second what Wigtopia said. I had the other day Quorn mozarella pesto “escalopes” and they were very good. Again it depends in your DD’s age but if you don't say what it is you might get away with it. Saying that it’s best to get her on board as she needs to be aware what she eats outside at playdates or school in order not to make herself unwell.
Other than that what about turkey, duck or goose - does she react to other poultry?

GPs are pretty crap at diagnosing food allergies, even a dermatologist wasn't interested in testing my eczema covered DD. We had to go private.

Keep a food diary OP and see what happens.

Her age is pretty relevant here! 5? YANBU. 15? YABU.

Personally I’d speak to a medical professional.

Banning your children from doing anything is a waste of time. Instead educate her and help her be her own advocate.

As you don't know for sure frame it is 'mummy thinks chicken makes you feel poorly. If you really want it, you can try, but remember it might give you a tummy ache'

You haven’t “researched” it. You’ve googled it. Thats not research. But probably all that so-called nutrition experts do too.

If the chicken is genuinely the cause of her health issues then she just has to learn it as a not even that tough life lesson.

But it's worth checking it is indeed that.

Also to add lots of dogs have chicken allergies too!

Could you trial quorn “chicken” products? Obvs not 100% the same, but they can be used in the same way. E.g the frozen pieces are good to Chuck in a curry, you can get frozen “chicken” nuggets etc

I think this was in reference to nuggets which are coated in bred crumbs, possibly have flower to hold the chicken sludge together.
At the moment, it is not clear at all if Op means chicken when she says chicken.
I find it quite strange that chicken was the first port of call for the OP. There are multitude of things which can cause bloating and a lot of them are nuts, fruits, vegetables, dairy, gluten. So it is probably conceivable to assume that DD's diet is mostly devoid of fresh stuff for OP to arrive at the "chicken" conclusion.

Seem to be a lot of doubters around that chicken allergy can exist. It can and it can start in young children with gastro symptoms and get worse with age. Certainly sounds a good idea to have a plain chicken meal and see if the symptoms return. If they do, see the GP for an allergy referral, don't waste money on over the counter "intolerance" tests

Although I do have IBS, chicken wrecks my stomach. I have no idea why as it is always listed as a 'safe' food for those with digestive issues. However, my dad and my nan also suffered from a bad tummy after eating chicken so maybe, for me, it's some weird family thing? We have the same issue with eggs.

It could be chicken from McDonalds or organic plain chicken and I still suffer the same gastric issues.

I have not touched chicken for 18 months now and eat lots of turkey instead.

Maybe your dd does have an intolerance to chicken, it is certainly not unheard of. Worth mentioning it to the GP though.

I would highly recommend getting her allergy tested via your GP. My eldest son kept vomiting after eating chicken. The doctors initially said allergy was unlikely but came through clearly as a poultry allergy on the tests.

He’s avoided for about 8 years now and had no problems, however we do sneak out for a KFC if he’s out with his friends 😁

Hope you get her sorted x
