While this canned chicken may not have gluten ingredients, it does contain additional items that you may not be able to digest well.  Keep a food and symptom journal to help you identify additional food intolerances that can cause discomfort, but do not trigger celiac disease (autoimmune response that damages the small intestine).  It is easier, in the beginning, to avoid processed foods as much as possible until you have mastered the gluten-free diet and are feeling better.  This includes eating out.

I have no problem with Swanson's chicken or chicken broth. However, I have been gluten free for about 15 years, so I have an advantage . My gut has had time to heal. You may well find that foods you cannot eat now will later on be fine.
