I bought some Wyler's Chicken Bouillon cubes the other day to make soup.  According to all the ingredients, they were all clearly broken down it looked safe. It even stated in bold at the end Contains Milk and Soy.  I made my soup.  Then I got to thinking, are they really safe?  I looked online and all the information I found had different ingredients listed on the website than were on the jar I was holding.  We called the 1-800 number and they stated that according to the information they had, they were not safe and contained wheat.  I don't know what to think.  Is he looking at the same ingredients I saw posted online, or does he have the ingredients that were on the container?  Why go through the trouble to state "contains milk and soy" and forgo the wheat?  Does anyone have any current information on these?  I am wondering what to do with a whole pot of soup, which I have already eaten.  I know, stupid me.  I feel fine so far, other than the fact that I slept until noon which is unlike me.  I haven't had any stomach pains or nausea, usually two big tip offs that I have gotten glutened. 

 

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Sometimes companies change their ingredients. Most of the time the package is the most reliable source of information for what is in something because it will list what is in what you actually have in your kitchen at this exact moment. What is on the website either may not be updated as quickly as packaging changes happen, or may happen more quickly than old stuff gets sold and used up which is why it is not the most reliable way to know if what you currently have is safe or not. If it were me, I would reread the package to decide if it's safe or not.

 

ETA: Also, I used to work in a call center. They aren't generally staffed with the most intelligent people in the universe. They'll throw any moron who can press a button to answer a phone and finish the training in there to do the job. I only trust those who reasonably come off as sounding like they have a clue about what I and they are talking about.

Thank you for your fast reply.  I was thinking the same thing.  It all looks safe.  My boyfriend and I have scoured over the ingredients multiple times and can't find anything at all.  I think I am just going to play the waiting game and go by my body reactions. So far I am just apprehensive lol.  I feel fine except for being tired, but who isn't more tired some days? 

 

Thanks again!

I like Better Than Bouillon, usually buy the organically sourced version.  It's lower sodium than bouillon cubes, tastes better,  The ingredients in the Organic Better than Bouillon chicken base are: chicken meat with natural juices, salt, cane juice solids, maltodextrin, flavoring, yeast extract, potato starch, turmeric, natural flavor*.  (all organic)   

 

Per the website, Open Original Shared Link

Is Better than Bouillon gluten free?

Many of our bases could be considered gluten free, but since we do not test specifically for gluten at this time, we are unable to make claims regarding the gluten content in each of the bases. However, I can help you if you have a question about one of the ingredients and where it is derived from so that you can make a personal decision about whether or not you can eat the product.

*  Per their website:  What are natural flavors in BTB?

Chicken Base — Onion Powder, Extractive of Celery & black pepper.)

 

 

The website also stated that they will list the source for ingredients, such as maltodextrin from corn .  

 

Anyway, I hope this is helpful!

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
