Tuna And Syrup

[BamBam]

It's Lent and I think I can eat Starkist and Bumble Bee tuna's? Am I right or wrong? I believe the Albertson Brand is safe also, does anyone know for sure?

Also - Log Cabin Syrup - it is on sale for a ridiculous low price, but there is no phone number of the bottle. Has anyone contacted this company and know for sure if it is gluten free?

Thanks!

I will respond to my own question, I finally found and made it in the Delphi list again.

Log Cabin syrup is gluten free, I bought if for like a buck a bottle last night. So I am very glad for the special and that it is gluten free. I was using Aunt Jemima and that is like 4 bucks a bottle and I can't always afford that price fr a little bottle of syrup.

And yes, both Star Kist tuna and Bumble Bee brand tunas are gluten free. Just don't eat the crackers in their little lunch kits!

hOPE THIS HELPS SOMEBODY!

Just a suggestion...when we use Log Cabin or any of the other lower priced syrups, we also have a small amount of real Maple Syrup on table too. We don't mix them half and half, but using mostly the Log Cabin and a teaspoon of the real syrup for the real maple flavor. It's cheaper than using 100% real maple syrup and you don't feel like you're eating corn syrup with 1% of maple flavoring.

I spent the entire day today trying to get answers what is in the tuna packs I eat.

INGREDIENTS: Light tuna, water, vegetable broth, salt.

** vegetable broth is SOY!

SOY for many of us is POISON -- you just don't know it yet.

If you have celiac disease and developed a thyroid problem -- I know SOY CAUSED MINE.

We as a nation are going to find out in the next few years SOY is making us sicker then we know.

I don't know the why's of it all, but Bumble Bee tuna packed in the foil pouches does not contain soy--I do eat it, but it is the only one I touch. Deb

I eat Polar tuna - all natural solid white albacore, water, salt. Pretty inexpensive too. I saw Progresso had one in olive oil but it was very pricey.

darlindeb25 --- thank you for that information about no soy. Can I ask a big favor? If you have one of those tuna packs at home can you post what they list as INGREDIENTS?

StrongerToday --- does it say what type of OIL in the tuna??? It could have soy or other types of oil???

Thanx again my dear Celiac cyberspace friends

The Polar tuna is just the tuna, water and salt - no oil or soy. The Progresso was just olive oil I beleive - I didn't buy it, the Polar was much cheaper.

I agree with the soy issue--it is in everything anymore, too. My youngest son is very allergic to soy and I am noticing more and more that I get bloated/stomach burning when I eat any soy-containing foods. IMO, it causes problems hormonally, too and may be related to so many so-called "female problems". Time and many sick people will probably tell the story, unfortunately.
