I can only find grain fed lamb near me. I do really well with lamb, so I'm considering buying it, even though it's not organic and grass fed. The package says "antibiotic free", but I'm very sensitive to chemicals, gluten, corn etc so I'm wondering if it's not a good idea.
Thoughts? Experiences?

- Yes, regarding celiac you should be fine but some celiacs are so sensitive that it is a concern so you are wise to ask. But, it's also for other reasons best to avoid meats from animals that have been primarily grain-fed. The meat actually has a different nutrient composition.
Grains - and their use as feed - can vary, though. That's why I like to get to know the ranchers where my meat is grown, even if only through their websites and my meat manager.
Remember that some of the grains for feed may not be gluten-containing grains. My biggest concern with corn is that it it so doused with chemicals and is GMO - no creature should be eating that. And cattle are not able to digest it.
I don't know about sheep because we have sheep ranches around where I live so all are free to roam. I'm surprised that the sheep are grain fed as most sheep are free grazing (grass fed). Or so I thought.
Not sure where you live but you can search the web for grass-fed sheep and you may find a source. If you have a Whole Foods Market near you, ask their meat manager. Even other stores can get specially ordered products.
Search Google: "grass fed sheep"
One result of many. They are near St. Louis, but you may find others near to you. Some ship frozen across the states. Best to buy from local ranchers, though. You can just cross search with your location to find the closest ones similar to this one:

- Also call the managers for your area Farmers' Markets. You should find them from a search at Google. They may even have sheep ranchers' links listed right on their Farmers' Market web site.
THEY usually have sheep ranchers. That's where I met my local ones. They deliver to the area groceries all year long and attend the Farmers' Markets spring through fall.
These guys usually also have great recipes. Remember to get fresh rosemary springs from the produce department. Fresh mint is also very nice as is fennel bulb. -

Per AI, if the information in the DNA is not correct regarding grain frequencies, no matter what it is, anything that contains gluten etc frequencies can be a problem, whether other grains, meat, chicken, eggs, glue, wallpaper paste of yesteryear, sausage, or toothpaste. Anything that contains the gluten frequencies can be a problem.
Check out the website. It is in translated form and not the greatest, but it helps to understand.
Many celiacs and/or gliadin/gluten/grain sensitives have been cured permanently by
You may also want to check out the thread here "Allergie Immun Germany".
Food allergies, fungi allergies, metal allergies are usually corrected with the first bottle of drops that one gets with this therapy. If any chemical and other allergies are a part of the food processing, etc. allergies, then it may take subsequent bottles as the rest of the allergies found are being cleared.
Hope you take a look at AI.
Take care.

Though grass fed meat is better, grain fed is fine from a gluten standpoint.
