Free-Range/natural gluten-free Bouillon Available?

Hi,

 

I'm very new to this forum. My son was officially diagnosed with celiac disease last Weds and we are all going gluten-free. I was wondering if anyone knows of any free-range gluten-free chicken bouillon available on the market? We try to stay away from foods from factory farms. I am willing to buy from online stores - just not sure where to look. iHerb.com doesn't seem to have any.

 

Thank you for your help!

 

Andrea

I really have no idea what bullion is free range but the title gave me a good chuckle. I pictured little bullion cubes rolling around the pasture.

 

Do you have any "health food" stores?  like Whole Foods?  They might have something.

I can only think of making your own broth. You can freeze it into ice cube trays and use them as needed.

You also may be able to find stock that meets your needs, rather than boullion.

How to make broth.  Place leftovers, bones, skin of chicken in crockpot or stove.  Add vegetables if desired for more nutrients.  You can strain out the vegetables if desired when done.  Cook for several hours or until it is golden brown.  It is most flavorful when simmered overnight.

Not sure if they have bullion, but we buy Pacific Natural Foods broths/stocks a lot.  I believe most, if not all, of their stocks/broths are gluten free, and they're also free range/organic.  Whole Foods carries them, and I occasionally see them at regular grocery stores.  I'm sure you can order it online, too.

Thank you. Google wasn't the most helpful (I do try to Google things before asking about them). I wanted to have some bouillon around in case I need a little and don't have time to make stock. We are planning to buy a 2nd freezer now that we have dietary restrictions and I really need to cook food ahead of time. I will be able to make and freeze stock in larger quantities once we do. We do use a stock that is free-ranges and gluten free. I haven't been able to find anything at the local health foods stores but I will keep looking!

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      By Russ H · Posted

      The anti-endomysial antibody test is an old test that is generally reported as positive or negative - a lab technician looks down a microscope to check for fluorescence of the sample. It is less sensitive but more specific for coeliac disease than IgA tTG2. Hence, it is not "barely positive" - it is positive. People diagnosed in childhood recover much more quickly than adults.  I would look at testing all 1st degree relatives - parents, siblings.

      What about digestive enzymes that I hear help? I take align 5x probiotics daily.

      thank you RMJ! That is very helpful advice. Good to know we aren’t crazy if we don’t do the endoscopy. We are going to try the gluten free and see how symptoms and levels improve.    thank you Wheatwacked (love the username lol) that is also reassuring. Thankfully she has an amazing and experienced pediatrician. And yesss I forgot to mention the poop! She has the weirdest poop issues.    How long did it take y'all to start seeing improvement in symptoms?

      My son was diagnosed when he was weaned in 1976 after several endoscopies.  Given your two year old's symptoms and your family history and your pediatrition advocating for the dx, I would agree.  Whether an endoscopy is positive or negative is irrelevant.   That may happen even with endoscopy.  Pick your doctors with that in mind. In the end you save the potential trauma of the endoscopy for your baby.   Mine also had really nasty poop.  His doctor started him on Nutramigen Infant because at the time it was the only product that was hypo allergenic and had complete nutrition. The improvement was immediate.

      So her tissue transglutaminase antibody is almost 4x the upper end of the normal range - likely a real result. The other things you can do besides an endoscopy would be: 1.  Genetic testing.  Unfortunately a large proportion of the population has genes permissive for celiac disease, but only a small proportion of those with the genes have it. With family history it is likely she has the genes. 2.  Try a gluten free diet and see if the symptoms go away AND the antibody levels return to normal. (This is what I would do). Endoscopies aren’t always accurate in patients as young as your daughter. Unfortunately, without an endoscopy, some doctor later in her life may question whether she really has celiac disease or not, and you’ll need to be a fierce mama bear to defend the diagnosis! Be sure you have a good written record of her current pediatrician’s diagnosis. Doing a gluten challenge for an endoscopy later in life could cause a very uncomfortable level of symptoms.   Having yourself, your husband and your son tested would be a great idea.
