My husband is having a colonscopy tomorrow & I keep finding conflicting information on whether he can have bouillon or not with Celiac. As you all are probably aware, he can only have liquids until the procedure. Please help!

Depends on the ingredients. :-)

Imagine makes a chicken broth and veggie broth that are tasty, and gluten-free.

Rapunzel makes a chicken boullion and veggie boullion that are good as well, and gluten-free.

You have to read the ingredients. At the health food stores you will find gluten free brands. I found the "Organic Gourmet Vegetable Bouillon" at WholeFoods. It says "gluten free" right on the box. Other wise you could make him a homemade broth by simmering vegetables, garlic (or garlic salt), spices, even chicken meat, bones, etc...strain it and serve the broth only.

here are directions i had:

Eat and drink only clear liquids for breakfast, lunch and dinner the day before your exam. It is important that you drink plenty of fluids so you do not become dehydrated as a result of the prep. Solid foods and milk products are not allowed.

Do not eat or drink anything that is Red or Purple in color.

Examples of Clear Liquids:

Water Jello coffee

Soda Gatorade tea

Popsicles Clear broth or boullion

Kool-aid (but watch colors)

Good luck--i had one previously, and it wasn't so bad. The prep was just annoying...

He received pretty much the same instructions but I thought most broths & bouillons were not gluten free. I'm getting mixed info.

There are lots of gluten free bouillons available. Probably not in the regular shopping store, though. I believe there's a gluten free substitute for JUST about everything these days. Also, you could make it yourself.

here is a list of gluten-free broth/bouillon:

butterball canned ckn broth

herb ox ckn bouillon

pacific foods natural or organic free range ckn broth

safeway ckn broth

shaw's ckn broth

trader joes' ckn broth

hy-vee bouillon cubes

better than bouillon soup bases

i don't have any at home to know for sure--but ck out mccormick's bouillon cubes too. remember, they do not hide gluten ingredients, so if the ingredients listed don't contain gluten, then it should be ok.

You may be even able to "pick some up" at the hospital... :>

I was on the clear liquid diet for about 5 days while staying in the hospital last month. They had the little kitchen with lots of wheat loaded foods. However, they did have a wide assortment of Herb-ox broth, chicken,vegetable, beef and so on. All the Herb-ox broth packets, made by Hormel are Gluten free. I'm a meat lover, but I was suprised to find that I found the vegetable broth the tastiest, plus it was the only one that didn't contain MSG.

Be careful of the TJ's broths - some are fine, but not all are gluten-free. (I think it's the organic chicken that's not, but it might be the veggie.) All you have to do, though, is check the label. It specifically says "barley" on it.

(I got caught on this one - bought the wrong one. Good thing I read the label before I poured it in the pot!)

TIffany-

thanks for info. i haven't ever bought it myself, but it was on my palm list. it just says trader joe's (w. coast) ckn broth-canned. i do struggle w/ trader joes a bit b/c they say they can't account for cross-contamination at all... :(

Sheltons has a canned chicken broth sold at Whole Foods that is gluten free. I like it because they have a low sodium one. :D

I got this reply from my query as to whether Better Than Bouillon Organic Chicken Soup is Gluten Free.

 

 

"Many of our bases could be considered gluten free, but because we do not test specifically for gluten at this time, we are unable to make any claims against any of our bases."

 

From my reading of the ingredient lists- It doesn't appear to have anything suspicious.  It seems to agree with me, but I'm not someone who can easily tell when I've had a tiny bit of cross-contamination.

      I'm pretty sure that in stores, you can find plenty of gluten-free options. But they are usually a bit more expensive.

      Hello @BunnyBrown and welcome to the forum. I cannot say that I have had the procedure you describe, but recently I did have general surgery and was routinely intubated.  That pain was what troubled me most after the operation, far more than the operation site.  It took a few days to really settle down, I was quite badly bruised. It was taking so long I was a bit concerned so asked the question on another forum. A few patients came back to me and said they had suffered the same.  I imagine in my own case possibly the throat got bashed about a bit,  maybe they had difficult inserting the tube?  I've suffered with a painful throat post-endoscopy too, but never as long as the intubation pain.   I hope you will be feeling better very soon.   PS BTW - love the name!  I saw this today in an Easter display in a shop and your name reminded me of it.🙂

      This wonderful, Anne. I think you have a point about why people disappear off forums.  I found the first few years post diagnosis a real struggle and frankly wondered if I would ever feel better (not to dishearten people, but just to say it can take a while longer for some folk to heal).  However, once my antibodies were back within normal range it really has made a big difference to my health.  I've chosen to stick around because I'm a Mod, otherwise I might have been one of those that disappeared, too!
