Cooking Casseroles

I am new to this board so I apololgize if this answer is already been posted. I was diagnosed with celiac disease in October and am slowly making progress. My wife has been great in cooking things I can eat while also feeding our 3 & 5 year old boys what they like. They have no indications of celiac disease and hopefully never will. One of our biggest problems is cooking casseroles because of the creamed soup issue. In Bette Hagman's cook book she has a creamed soup base mix. We have everythng but the gluten-free powdered soup base that it calls for. We have been unable to find this and therefore can't make the base. Information on where to find this soup base would be greatly appreciated. I just discovered this forum and reading the posts have helped me greatly. It is nice to know that my feelings are not completely out or ordinary and that battling some depression issues is not uncommon. Thanks in advance to anybody that can help.

I had the exact same problem as you did I had everything but the powder and I couldn't find it. Until one day when i was at SaveOn Foods I found Harvest Sun Organic Free Range Chicken Broth powder and as well as the Vegetable broth. It was the highlight of my day and they were even on sale that day. It says right on the back of the container that they are gluten free. SaveOn Foods isn't the only place that I found it so I am sure you will be able to fight it at a place near you.

If like me, you live in a remote area, you may have to do some shopping on the Internet. Glutano brand has a beef and chicken that I have. I cannot remember which site I found it on but if you type in gluten free soup base or gluten free boullion, into a search engine like Yahoo or Excite, you should be able to find it. I use it for all sorts of stuff.. I just did a search and found even more products!! YAY!! Here try this link...

Open Original Shared Link sorry I dont know how to put that into active link.. <_< but if you type it in your browser, it will pop up. Soup is food for the soul as are hotdishes ( thats what we call em here in Iowa and what I grew up on) and you should not go without. :) Stay strong.

Hey Deb, have you tried Aproten pasta? I have tried them all, I mean all. Online, in the store in the city.. at health food stores. Aproten is the best in my opinion. The rest have funky textures that I dislike. Aproten is imported from Italy, its costly, it contains saffron but you can hardly tell its not wheat pasta. I for one keep waiting for my brain to forget wheat pasta. <_< It comes in many different shapes. If you like big fat noodles, try the taggatelli (sp?) its big fat noodles and it works well in hotdishes. :)

I'm confused, I am also looking for the gluten-free powdered soup base - it seems like the products you are mentioning are similar to boullion cubes - is that what "powdered soup base" means? Can I just use the Knorr gluten-free boullion cubes from my grocery store?

      Waiting for urgent referral.

      Thank you again for your reply and comments which I have read carefully as I appreciate any input at this stage. I'm tending to listen to what my body wants me to do, having been in agony for many years any respite has been welcome and avoiding all wheat and lactose has thankfully brought this.  When in pain before I was seen by a number of gynacologists as I had 22 fibroids and had an operation 13 years ago to shrink them . However the pain remained and intensified to the point over the years where I began passing out. I was in and out of a&e during covid when waiting rooms where empty. My present diet is the only thing that's given me any hope for the future. As I say I had never heard of celiac disease before starting so I guess had this not come up in a conversation I would just have carried on. It was the swollen lymph node that sent me to a boots pharmacist who immediately sent me to a&e where a Dr asked questions prescribed antibiotics and then back to my GP. I'm now waiting for my hospital appointment . Hope this answers your question. I found out more about the disease because I googled something I wouldn't normally do, it did shed light on the disease but I also read some things that this disease can do. On good days I actually hope I haven't got this but on further investigation my mother's side of the family all Celtic have had various problems 're stomach pain my poor grandmother cried in pain as did her sister whilst two of her brother's survived WW2 but died from ulcers put down to stress of fighting.  Wishing you well with your recovery.  Many thanks

      Welcome to the forum, @Nacina, What supplements is your son taking?

      @BluegrassCeliac, I'm agreeing.  It's a good thing taking magnesium. And B vitamins. Magnesium and Thiamine work together.  If you supplement the B vitamins which include Thiamine, but don't have sufficient magnesium, Thiamine won't work well.  If you take Magnesium, but not Thiamine, magnesium won't work as well by itself. Hydrochlorothiazide HCTZ is a sulfonamide drug, a sulfa drug.  So are proton pump inhibitors PPIs, and SSRIs. High dose Thiamine is used to resolve cytokine storms.  High dose Thiamine was used in patients having cytokine storms in Covid infections.  Magnesium supplementation also improves cytokine storms, and was also used during Covid. How's your Vitamin D?

      Hi,   Not saying Thiamine (B1) couldn't be an issue as well, but Mg was definitely the cause of my problems. It's the only thing that worked. I supplemented with B vitamins, but that didn't change anything, in fact they made me sick. Mg stopped all my muscle pain (HCTZ) within a few months and fixed all the intestinal problems HCTZ caused as well. Mom has an allergy to some sulfa drugs (IgG Celiac too), but I don't think I've ever taken them. Mg boosted my energy as well. It solved a lot of problems. I take 1000mg MgO a day with no problems. I boost absorption with Vitamin D. Some people can't take MgO,  like mom, she takes Mg Glycinate. It's one of those things that someone has try and find the right form for themselves. Everyone's different. Mg deficiency can cause anxiety and is a treatment for it. A pharmacist gave me a list of drugs years ago that cause Mg deficiency: PPIs, H2 bockers, HCTZ, some beta blockers (metoprolol which I've taken -- horrible side effects), some anti-anxiety meds too were on it. I posted because I saw he was an IgG celiac. He's the first one I've seen in 20 years, other than my family. We're rare. All the celiacs I've met are IgA. Finding healthcare is a nightmare. Just trying to help. B

      It sounds like you've been through a lot with your son's health journey, and it's understandable that you're seeking answers and solutions. Given the complexity of his symptoms and medical history, it might be beneficial to explore a few avenues: Encourage your son to keep a detailed journal of his symptoms, including when they occur, their severity, any triggers or patterns, and how they impact his daily life. This information can be valuable during medical consultations and may help identify correlations or trends. Consider seeking opinions from specialized medical centers or academic hospitals that have multidisciplinary teams specializing in gastrointestinal disorders, especially those related to Celiac disease and Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EOE). These centers often have experts who deal with complex cases and can offer a comprehensive evaluation. Since you've already explored alternative medicine with a nutrition response doctor and a gut detox diet, you may want to consider consulting a functional medicine practitioner. They take a holistic approach to health, looking at underlying causes and imbalances that may contribute to symptoms. Given his low vitamin D levels and other nutritional markers, a thorough nutritional assessment by a registered dietitian or nutritionist specializing in gastrointestinal health could provide insights into any deficiencies or dietary adjustments that might help alleviate symptoms. In addition to routine tests, consider asking about more specialized tests that may not be part of standard screenings. These could include comprehensive stool analyses, food intolerance testing, allergy panels, or advanced imaging studies to assess gut health.
