Pretty much every chicken in the US is fed GMO tweaked feed, and I'm not sure about growth hormones and antibiotics.

Whatever the animal (or plant) is ingesting, you are, too.

You might try free-range, organically-fed chicken if you just LOVE chicken and don't want to do without.

This is just a guess -- I only know that when I went totally organic and ate NO processed foods, I felt better and happier than I felt when I was eighteen. Seriously.

But to answer your question (and I've fallen off the only organic wagon), I can eat anything with no adverse reactions, so I haven't experienced your problems.

I hope you find a solution.
