Do beef boullion cubes usually have gluten or not, does anyone know? All I read that was questionable was natural flavor. I ate something cooked in boullion, and the person told me it was after I ate it (thanks mom). Sure would appreciate some input here, thanks julie...

I don't know about the gluten but I understand that most, if not all, boullions have MSG in them, which is why they taste so good.

Most bouillion cubes seem to have gluten ...and if not dodgy labelling...

I only buy ones saying gluten free.

Definitely can't categorize by type and always have to read the label or call when in doubt. I use Rapunzel, myself, and I know there are a few others out there that are gluten-free. I've seen a couple that have wheat, though I don't remember if those were boullion cubes or a paste or powder or what other concoction that served the same purpose.

Well I feel fine so they must have been okay. They said at the bottom of the indredients contains soy, and the only other thing was natural flavor. My poor mom thought she glutened me, lol. I had to call her and let her know I was feeling fine and not to feel bad. I looked at some brands on the net, and most of them do, but some don't. All the veggie ones are gluten-free.

I usually take the lists of other allergens as a good sign.

Thats a good point. Who knew a month ago I'd be sitting around stressing about beef boullion. ;) Before this I never just wondered about boullion cubes, lol. Ahhhhhhh how funny is this silly disease we have, well at least I can find the humor in it all. :blink:

Herbox(made by Hormel) boullion cubes are gluten free. I generally get the vegetable, beef, and chicken. But, I have actually found the vegetable to be the best flavor, even for beef stews and chicken soups. Plus the vegetable doesn't have any MSG.

I only buy gluten-free ones, too. I'm way to sensative to gluten to wanna take an actual risk (even tho sometimes I have no choice lol). But yeah, I always stock up on the gluten-free ones just in case :) Theres so many different flavours, I think even more than normal cubes, so we got an advantage :P

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Theresa2407 · Posted

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Possible celiac - need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Celiac or not??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
