Pacific Soups

I used to use Pacific Cr of Mushroom, Cr of chicken and Cr of celery soups in recipes all the time. Now they have discontinued the Cr of celery. Does anyone have a good substitute? They are marked Gluten Free and I've never had a problem with them. I don't know why the Cr of celery was discontinued.

Are you using it as a soup or a topping for something else?  As a sauce, you can make your own and it only takes five more minutes.    Use a white sauce recipe (butter, milk, starch/flour -- I use corn), add some celery seed, chopped up pre-cooked celery (steam in micro), a little white pepper and you're good to go!  Sub out the celery/seed and you can make your mushroom too by adding a little garlic with pre-cooked mushrooms (sautee them in butter).   Add other seasonings to taste.  

 

Enjoy!

Thanks, Cyclinglady. I'll try it that way. I use all those soups in my old 1960's casseroles.

Me too!   My husband loves casseroles.  

 

I'm the Crockpot Queen!  Just bought some chicken breasts on sale and plan on making Chicken Ala King with that white sauce recipe.  I serve it over mashed potatoes.  But tomorrow, I'm cooking a pot roast in the crockpot.  I'll use the leftovers for either tacos or make Shepard's pie.  It's still hot where I live, so I plug my crockpot in on the back patio.  It's on a table next to my Nesco oven.  I bake all kinds of stuff in that oven.  No need to heat up my kitchen and make the a/c work harder!

My Husband is a big Casserole eater also. Funny thing I was making Powdered Cream of soups before being DX'd I was trying to cut back on salt. The powdered ones have Corn meal , and powdered milk. I do have to say they were pretty good .. you can google it to get recipes. Now I am Gluten Free I just get Gluten Free soups. Haven't found a Crm of celery..

I regularly use the pacific naturals cream of mushroom and chicken soups, I am not on a sodium restricted diet but before I went gluten-free I bought low sodium everything, especially soups.  I wish there were a gluten-free, store-bought option!  Some of that stuff is just SO salty, but the pacific cream soups aren't too bad, at least.  I have considered making a large batch myself and freezing it up, I am a big fan of freezing things.

I used to make big batches of cr of mushroom and freeze  it. I guess I have gotten lazy. It is just so easy to open the package.

 

Cyclinglady, try putting a package of dry onion soup and a pkg of cr of mushroom soup over a roast in the crock pot. Best gravy ever!

Thanks!  But, I must confess that my cream is now soymilk.  Since I'm allergic to garlic (plus, I can't tolerate mushrooms), I can't use those foods anymore in my old recipes!  Yikes!  Try cooking without garlic and that includes onions and leeks (same family).  Anyway, I make do with different herbs to flavor.

      Issues before diagnosis

      I agree, it so often overlooked! I live in the UK and I have often wondered why doctors are so reluctant to at least exclude it - my thoughts are perhaps the particular tests are expensive for the NHS, so therefore saved for people with 'obvious' symptoms. I was diagnosed in 2013 and was told immediately that my parents, sibling and children should...

      Celiac Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      Maybe they can attribute certain skin conditions to either being susceptible to getting Celiac......or the other way around....but I have to ask if certain people are prone to Celiac because of genetics and some people aren't. It's kind of the same thing as what came first.....the chicken or the egg.?

      @xxnonamexx, There's labeling on those Trubar gluten free high fiber protein bars that say: "Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, milk, soy, fish, WHEAT, sesame, and other tree nuts." You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities. If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering...

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac...

      I agree, it so often overlooked! I live in the UK and I have often wondered why doctors are so reluctant to at least exclude it - my thoughts are perhaps the particular tests are expensive for the NHS, so therefore saved for people with 'obvious' symptoms.  I was diagnosed in 2013 and was told immediately that my parents, sibling and children should be checked.  My parents' GP to this day has not put forward my father for testing, and my mother was never tested in her lifetime, despite the fact that they both have some interesting symptoms/family history that reflect they might have coeliac disease (Dad - extreme bloating, and his Mum clearly had autoimmune issues, albeit undiagnosed as such; Mum - osteoporosis, anxiety).  I am now my father' legal guardian and suspecting my parents may have forgotten to ask their GP for a test (which is entirely possible!) I put it to his last GP that he ought to be tested.  He looked at Dad's blood results and purely because he was not anemic said he wasn't a coeliac.  Hopefully as the awareness of Coeliac Disease spreads among the general public, people will be able to advocate for themselves.  It is hard because in the UK the NHS is very stretched, but the fallout from not being diagnosed in a timely fashion will only cost the NHS more money. Interestingly, a complete aside, I met someone recently whose son was diagnosed (I think she said he was 8).  At a recent birthday party with 8 guests, 4 boys out of the 8 had received diagnosis of Coeliac Disease, which is an astounding statistic  As far as I know, though, they had all had obvious gastric symptoms leading to their NHS diagnosis.  In my own case I had  acute onset anxiety, hypnopompic hallucinations (vivid hallucinations upon waking),  odd liver function, anxiety, headaches, ulcers and low iron but it wasn't until the gastric symptoms hit me that a GP thought to do coeliac testing, and my numbers were through the roof.  As @trents says, by the grace of God I was diagnosed, and the diet has pretty much dealt with most of those symptoms.  I have much to be grateful for.

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees.  People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits.  Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease.   Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of the extra histamine the body makes with Celiac disease and histamine consumed in the diet.   Vitamin C and the eight B vitamins are needed to help the body clear histamine.   Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?
