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.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @sleuth, Has your son been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  All of those symptoms can be caused by malnutrition.  I had severe malnutrition that went unrecognized by my doctors.  Intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, and gastrointestinal distress are symptoms of deficiencies in the eight essential B vitamins, especially Thiamine B1, which becomes low first because the demand is higher when we're sick.     Celiac Disease causes inflammation and damage of the intestinal lining which inhibits absorption of essential nutrients.  Checking for nutritional deficiencies is part of proper follow up care for people with celiac disease.   Is your son taking any vitamin supplements?  Most supplements contain thiamine mononitrate which in not readily absorbed and utilized by the body.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that is shown to promote intestinal healing.  Benfotiamine is available over the counter.  Benfotiamine is safe and nontoxic.   Is your son eating processed gluten-free foods?  Gluten-free processed foods are not required to be enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.   Is your son following a low histamine diet?  Histamine is released as part of the immune response to gluten and other foods high in histamine.  High levels of histamine in the brain can cause anxiety, insomnia, and depression.  The body needs the B vitamins to make the enzyme Diamine Oxidase (DAO) to break down and clear histamine.  DAO supplements are available over the counter.  Vitamin C helps clear histamine as well.  Some people find over the counter antihistamines helpful as well, but they're not for long term use.   Nicotine has antihistamine-like properties, but can also irritate the gut.  Tobacco, from which nicotine is derived, is a nightshade (like tomatoes, potatoes, peppers and eggplant).  Nightshades contain alkaloids which affect gastrointestinal permeability, causing leaky gut syndrome.  Nicotine can cause gastrointestinal irritation and alter for the worse the microbiome. Safer alternatives to Nicotine that have antihistamine properties include Lemon Balm (Sweet Melissa),  Passion Flower, Chamomile, and Bilberry.  They can be taken as supplements, extracts, or tea.  These will help with the anxiety, insomnia and depression in a much safer way. Oolong tea is also helpful.  Oolong tea contains the amino acid L-Theanine which helps the digestive tract heal.  (L -Theanine supplements are available over the counter, if not a tea drinker.)  Tryptophan, a form of Niacin B3, also helps calm digestive symptoms.  Another amino acid, L-Lysine, can help with anxiety and depression.  I've used these for years without problems.   What ways to cope have you tried in the past?

      In general if it is labelled gluten-free then it should be ok for most celiacs, however, those who are super sensitive (which is most who have dermatitis herpetiformis) may want to eat only certified gluten-free items, which are supposed to test down to 10ppm (but don't always!).

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      Have faith, you will survive. I get mine from Pipingrock.com.  500 capsules of 10,000 IU for $22.  That is almost two years worth for me.  250 caps 5000 IU for $6.69 if you only take 5,000 a day.  It's like half the price of Walmart.

      Outgrow celiac?

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.
