Lipton Cup-a-soups

Hi there,

I have been busy calling and emailing manufacturers with questions about their specific products. One of them, Lipton, said that if there is gluten in the product, it will be mentioned in the incredients (e.g., contains wheat, rye, barley, oats). I use cream of chicken and tomato soups a lot in my casseroles. The Campbell's condensed soups definitely have gluten in them. I thought as a substitute I could use Lipton Cup-A-Soup in the cream of chicken and tomato varieties. The thing that troubles me is that I have not seen this product on any gluten free lists of brands, nor have I seen it mentioned anywhere on this or any other forum as being gluten free. Yet, the company reperesentative claims it is gluten free, and I would love to use this product.

Anyone out there have any information on these two soups that would help me decide to use/not use them?

Thanks

Sharon

I don't know about those two, but the 2004 Delfi List said that Lipton Onion Soup Mix is glutenfree - others are not.

This product is manufactured by Unilever and they will disclose any gluten-free sources on the ingredient label.

I believe the only two that are gluten-free are the cream of chicken and the cheddar broccoli.

I think the tomato has croutons in it.

I do eat the other two with no problems!

I think the tomato with croutons is new. Geesh, I hope it isn't a replacement for the tomato soup. I checked with the company once and have seen it on a list or two some time ago. Kept a watch on ingredients and haven't seen anything that concerned me much since. Always a fear they would change their formula some day or drop the flavor like they did with their gluten-free chicken broth cup-o-soup a few years ago. Other than Ogran anyone know of any other cup-of-soup brands?

I can't eat it anymore due to other food issues, but I remember that the Lipton cup of soup/chicken was gluten free. I used to make casseroles with it (used less liquid to make it creamier). I enjoyed it! If you want, list the ingredients for us-we can help out.

Thanks to all of you for your input. Unilever does state that the ingredients will indicate if there is gluten in the soup. According to what I read, both cream of chicken and tomato are both ok. One of you mentioned tomato with croutons. I have tomato that is a few months old. The ingredients in the tomato soup are: whey, tomato powder, sugar, potato starch, salt, yeast extract, cream, maltodextrin, natural flavors, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika extractive (for color). I am pretty sure they are both safe. After a ten-month gluten challenge, I am just getting back on track with the diet again. I'm even a little paranoid about what's in everything. I am sure I will calm down after a while.

Thanks again for your support.

Sharon

Sharon: Natural flavoring, is a vast term for "I can't tell you what's in it". Be cautious, but it you feel comfortable by the company's response. ...enjoy.

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
