Kraft South Beach Diet Frozen Dinner Maybe gluten-free?

Okay, I was just looking through ALL the recipes of Kraft foods and I think I may have actually found a frozen mainstream dinner that might be safe. Someone please help me out. I have no other allergies or sensitivities and (I know this sounds crazy) I'm dying to eat a real, live, normal TV dinner. I don't know why, I just am.

This is for a South Beach Diet frozen Savory Beef with Cheesy Broccoli:

Ingredients: FULLY COOKED SEASONED GRILLED BEEF SIRLOIN STEAK STRIPS AND MODIFIED FOOD STARCH PRODUCT, SMOKE FLAVOR ADDED (BEEF, WATER AND LESS THAN 2% CONCENTRATED BEEF STOCK, MODIFIED FOOD STARCH, SALT, SODIUM PHOSPHATES, POTASSIUM CHLORIDE, FLAVOR, AUTOLYZED YEAST EXTRACT, BEEF FAT, BEEF EXTRACT, GRILL FLAVOR [FROM SUNFLOWER OIL], SUCCINIC ACID, MALTODEXTRIN, SMOKE FLAVOR, CORN SYRUP SOLIDS, DEXTROSE, SPICE EXTRACTIVES), BROCCOLI, WATER, CELERY, ROASTED ONIONS, CARROTS, MUSHROOMS, PASTEURIZED PROCESS CHEESE SPREAD (CHEDDAR AND COLBY CHEESE [PASTEURIZED MILK, CHEESE CULTURE, SALT, ENZYMES], WATER, WHEY, SODIUM PHOSPHATE, WHEY PROTEIN CONCENTRATE, SKIM MILK, MILKFAT, SALT, CARRAGEENAN, CELLULOSE GUM), CONTAINS LESS THAN 2% OF MODIFIED FOOD STARCH, NONFAT DRY MILK, WHEY, CHEDDAR CHEESE (PASTEURIZED MILK, CHEESE CULTURE, SALT, ENZYMES), SALT, TOMATO PASTE, HYDROLYZED SOY PROTEIN AND CORN GLUTEN, ROASTED BEEF INCLUDING BEEF JUICES, ENZYME MODIFIED CHEESE (CHEDDAR CHEESE [MILK, CHEESE CULTURE, SALT, ENZYMES], CHEESE CULTURE, ENZYMES, SODIUM PHOSPHATE), BUTTERMILK SOLIDS, ENZYME MODIFIED BUTTER, BUTTER, GUAR GUM, CARAMEL COLOR, DRIED ONIONS, DRIED GARLIC, SODIUM PHOSPHATES, SUGAR, CORN OIL, POTATO FLOUR, MALTODEXTRIN, AUTOLYZED YEAST EXTRACT, ENZYME MODIFIED BUTTEROIL, SPICE, BEEF FLAVOR, DRIED CARROTS, FLAVOR, BEEF EXTRACT, DRIED CELERY, DEHYDRATED BUTTER, LACTIC ACID, DEXTROSE, COCONUT OIL, ANNATTO (COLOR), BEEF STOCK, TURMERIC (COLOR).

I know there are about a million red flags in there, but doesn't Kraft pledge to openly list gluten as an ingredient. In several other recipes there were some questionable items and they all had parentheses with (derived from/may contain gluten). Is corn gluten safe? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would LOVE to be able to do convenient lunches again.

Thanks in advance.

Other than having 30000000000000 ingredients, many unpronounceable, and the risk of cc, looks ok!

Be careful though, it is probably cross contaminated. Though I've never (knock on wood) been glutened by a Kraft product.

Kraft will clearly disclose gluten sources, and there are none in this case. Cross-contamination is always a risk, but experience has shown it to be extremely low. Kraft are very careful. I trust them without reservation. Enjoy.

I trust them, too. Kraft is one of the few mainstream companies that I have not had any problems with.

I ate the caprese chicken (something like that) with no problem. It tasted ok, it needed salt and I really don't salt things.

      I don't see how cornstarch could alter the test results. Where did you read that?

      For pain relief I take a combination of Thiamine (Benfotiamine), Pyridoxine B 6, and Cobalamine B12.  The combination of these three vitamins has analgesic effects.  I have back pain and this really works.  The B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted.   Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your results!

      Welcome to the forum, @Xravith. I experienced similar symptoms before my diagnosis.  Mine were due to the loss of vitamins and minerals, essential nutrients we must get from our food.  With Celiac Disease, the intestinal lining, made up of thousands of villi, gets damaged and cannot absorb essential vitamins and minerals, especially the eight B vitamins.  The loss of Thiamine B 1 can cause muscle loss, inability to gain weight, edema (swelling), fatigue, migraines and palpitations.  Low thiamine can cause Gastrointestinal Beriberi with symptoms of nausea, abdominal pain and bloating.   Thiamine is only stored for a couple of weeks, so if you don't absorb enough from food daily, as the thiamine deficiency worsens physical symptoms gradually worsen.  If you're eating lots of carbs (like gluten containing foods usually do), you need more thiamine to process them (called high calorie malnutrition).  Thiamine works with all the other B vitamins, so if you're low in one, you're probably getting low in the others, too, and minerals like iron, magnesium, zinc, and calcium, as well as Vitamin D..  Talk to your doctor about checking for nutritional deficiencies.  Most doctors rarely recognize vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially in thiamine. Get a DNA test to see if you carry any Celiac genes.  If you do not have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably IBS.  If you do have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably Celiac.  I was misdiagnosed with IBS for years before my Celiac diagnosis.   Keep us posted on your progress. P. S. Deficiency in thiamine can cause false negatives on antibody tests, as can diabetes and anemia.

      No she didn't because if I want to ask I have to pay 700$ for 1 hour appointment so I couldn't even ask. I read that fillers like cornstash can alter the result and tylenol contains it so that's why I tried to find someone who can answer.

      Did the GI doc give you any rational for stopping the Tylenol during the gluten challenge? I have never heard of this before and I can't imagine a good reason for it. Ibuprofen, maybe, because it is an anti inflammatory but acetaminophen?  I don't see that it would have any impact on the test results to take Tylenol.
