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.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      @rei.b, I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be. I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse. My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet. It makes a big difference. Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies. So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms...

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal.

I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free...

      Okay well the info about TTG-A actually makes a lot of sense and I wish the PA had explained that to me.

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long? DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule. This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are produced in response to. TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      I was tested for celiac at the same time, so I wasn't taking naltrexone yet. I say that, because I don't. The endoscopy showed some mild inflammation but was inconclusive as to celiac disease. They took several biopsies and that's all that was shown. I was not given a Marsh score.

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.

But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that. Bread, pasta, quesadillas (with flour tortillas) and crackers are my 4 favorite foods and I ate at least one of those things multiple times a day e.g. breakfast with eggs and toast, a cheese quesadilla for lunch, and pasta for dinner, and crackers and cheese as a before bed snack. I'm not even kidding.  I'm not really big on sugar, so I don't really do sweets. I don't have any of those conditions.  I am not sure if I have the genes or not. When the geneticist did my genetic testing for EDS this year, I didn't think to ask for him to request the celiac genes so they didn't test for them, unfortunately.  I guess another expectation I had is  that if gluten was the issue, the gluten-free diet would make me feel better, and I'm 3 months in and that hasn't been the case. I am being very careful and reading every label because I didn't want to screw this up and have to do gluten-free for longer than necessary if I end up not having celiac. I'm literally checking everything, even tea and anything else prepacked like caramel dip. Honestly its making me anxious 😅

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long?   DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule.  This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are  produced in response to.   TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to gluten.  The tTg IgA antibodies attack our own cells because a structural component in our cell membranes resembles a part of gluten.  There's a correlation between the level of intestinal damage with the level of tTg antibodies produced.  You are not producing a high number of tTg IgA antibodies, so your level of tissue damage in your intestines is not very bad.  Be thankful.   There may be reasons why you are not producing a high quantity of tTg IgA antibodies.  Consuming ten grams or more of gluten a day for two weeks to two months before blood tests are done is required to get sufficient antibody production and damage to the intestines.  Some undiagnosed people tend to subconsciously avoid lots of gluten.  Cookies and cakes do not contain as much gluten as artisan breads and thick chewy pizza crust.  Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can affect IgA antibody production as well.   Do you carry genes for Celiac?  They frequently go along with EDS.
