I ate some campbells' soup on the weekend which had only corn starch in it (from the label)-it was the rice/bean soup and I KNOW that it glutened me! Now, it had MSG, does MSG have any gluten? I'm new to the diet and am having somany issues right now this is the last thing I needed. Can campbell's be trusted like say kraft?

I haven't ever found a Cambell's soup without wheat in it? how did you manage that?

I haven't tried any on the gluten free diet since I can't find any without gluten, but I do know that a lot of people have trouble with MSG.

I don't think it's got gluten in it, but I have heard both ways. I do know it's hard on a lot of people's stomaches.

Campbells "ready to enjoy Fiesta vegetable" Here is a list of ingredients so you can tell me what I've missed....water, carrots, celery, rice, tomato, calcium chloride, citric acid, corn, black beans, tomato paste, sweet peppers, chili peppers, pea beans, potato starch, msg, sugar, salt, dehydrated onions and garlic, canola oil, spice. - it's the spice isn't it. as the lightbulb goes on above my head. I'm such a dork. I did think it was too good to be true.

Sorry to hear you got glutened by Campbell's soup :( . I gave up on them long ago when I read their ingredients in plain chicken and rice :angry: . I can tell you that Progresso clearly list allergy ingredients such as egg, soy, wheat, etc and I have never got sick from their chicken and wild rice soup.

I would have thought those ingredients were okay, I'd bet it was a cc issue.

The good news is that Campbells (like Kraft) will, as a matter of policy, clearly disclose gluten sources in their ingredient lists. The bad news is that almost every soup they make has gluten in some form, most commonly noodles. The chicken and rice condensed soup is gluten-free (in Canada, anyway). MSG is not a source of gluten, but many people avoid it for other reasons.

The ingredient list you quoted does not contain any indication of gluten--Campells will not hide gluten in "spices," which almost never contain gluten in any case (not so with "seasoning" which is a big red flag).

Peter,

Will you come to my town and open up a store. We can hook you up. All you need to do is lean how to sweat with ease in August. (We'll show you how) :):):)

then why did I feel so bad? I know there was gluten in there!

I don't know the answer to what made you feel ill. Cross contamination is always a possibiity. Since you are new to this, there may be traces of gluten in your kitchen from before you went gluten-free, or if another member of the household is not gluten-free.

As celiacs, we tend to blame gluten every time something disagrees with us. But that is not always the case. I know that if I ate the soup you described I would have an upset stomach, followed by gas and bloating. But it would have nothing to do with gluten! Chili peppers and onion just do that to me. :o

Think carefully about what else you ate, and about the utensils you used. Did you stir it with a wooden spoon that might be harboring gluten? Are there any scratches in the pot or bowl where gluten could hide?

Good point, I got very glutened from an old wooden spoon. I, too, think it was a contamination issue.

I know when I was new to the diet I would have reactions to food I knew was gluten-free. It took me about six months before I could really tell when I was glutened. Then I really found out the hard way! Depending on how much damage you have in your intestines, you may be getting sick not because of gluten. But because you have not healed. Just a thought! Plus alot of people have reactions to msg.

Campbell's has just sent me a gluten-free list via mail and it says the only soups that are gluten-free are the following:

Chunky Soup- Chicken Broccoli Cheese 18 oz

Select Soup- Savory Lentil 19 oz

And that's all. I stick with Progresso- I haven't tried these two Campbell's soups- I'd be willing to- but if you have any doubt, try Progresso.

MSG does not contain gluten but with the general population, some people react to it very badly from a non celiac side of things.

Sorry to hear you got sick.

I have been contaminated by campbell's soup and I won't eat their products anymore.

In Canada, the only gluten-free Campbell's soups are the ready to serve Fiesta Veg, condensed Chicken with Rice and condensed Tomato with Basil and Oregano. I think they have a broth or two that are gluten-free.

I'm pretty sure the chicken and rice in the US is NOT gluten-free and lists wheat in the ingredients. The chicken and white & wild rice seems safe, but I don't make a habit of eating it for the chance that I'll grab the wrong one.

The chicken and rice soup is the one that made me sick.

Me and my dad also got ill after having campbell's cream of tomato soup and also cream of tomato condensed soup. I think that it's actually just that the soup is CC in the factory - its made on the same lines as glutenated soups. there were no gluten ingrdients on the side of ours either, but it was actually me who realised what was causing this problem, and pointed it out to my mum who does the shopping. so we now just have Heinz soup - which says suitable for coeliacs or gluten free on the side if it is ok, which is much better. Not sure whether you have Heinz in the the USA though.

Hope you start to feel better soon though. Take care x

The can of Campbell's cream of tomato soup in my cupboard lists wheat as an ingredient ... is it different outside the US?

It must be - it definitely isn't listed over here, although that does make me very suspicious now... I know the low fat one over here definitely has wheat in, as my mum's eyesight isn't very good and she brought the wrong one home before, and I immediately spotted it. I always have to keep an eye on her lol. I find it so much easier to live with my parents though, and it also helps my dad to stop getting ill as often from my mum's cooking. nearly 20 years gluten-free now for him - you'd think she would check the labels. :rolleyes:

Oh well :)

I hate to be rude and say this again, but the ONLY soups Campbells say that are gluten-free are the ones above. (In America)... I would steer clear of anything else.

Sometimes it's easy to forget that the (Campbell) manufacturer's formula differs from USA and Canada.

      In the study linked above, the little girl switched to a gluten free diet and gained enough weight that that fat pad was replenished and surgery was not needed.   Here's the full article link...

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
