Careful folks, this is a thread from 19 months ago recently brought back to life. Information in the first 17 posts is from 2006, and may no longer be useful.

Campbell have a clear-disclosure policy, that is, if gluten is in the product then the common name of gluten grain will appear in the ingredient list: wheat, rye, barely or oats. Ingredients may vary between Canada and the US. For example, Campbell's Chicken with Rice is gluten-free in Canada, but not in the US.

So that means that Campell's Spaghetti and Meatballs has gluten? I didn't see it on the label.

Anything with Spaghetti that is a mainstream product is going to have gluten in it. Mainstream pastas, unless specifically stated otherwise are made from wheat.

Making your own soup is so incredibly easy. You need to learn how to make soup the easy way.

Get a crock pot. Put all soup ingredients in it on low. Cook while you are out all day, ready when you get home.

If you want something more than basic broth soups (you can buy precut meats, if you eat meat), and even prepared veggies! Then plan on making a batch on the weekend, then freeze it in batches.

Soup is one of the most basic and simple dishes. All you need to do is to get a soup cookbook, substitute any gluten containing ingredients (rice for barley, for example) and enjoy.

While it may be easy to make soup - and I usually do... There are times when you need something quicker/easier. I and my children have celiac disease. I am currently pregnant and have had an upper respiratory infection and colds are going around our house (not flu, just a cold). My husband was going to go grab me some soup to keep at the house and wanted me to check on campbell's soups again. We found the site www.campbellswithoutgluten.com. This is an official Campbell's site where they list their products that are gluten-free. THERE ARE NO SOUPS on their list.

While there are other companies that have gluten-free soups they are usually much more expensive so I guess I am back to making large batches and canning for when we are feeling "under the weather."

Here's what I do when I am sick and need soup.

I start with some gluten-free broth. I always keep this onhand. If I have an onion, some carrots and celery, I chop them up and put them in the broth and cook until tender. I also add a bit of dried parsley. If I don't have the fresh veggies, I always keep some freeze dried onions and carrots in the house and will use those. If I have dried celery (I only sometimes do), I will toss that in. If my stomach is really upset or I'm in a big hurry, I will leave out the veggies.

I then add canned or pouched chicken. I always have this onhand as well. I usually buy the cans at Costco.

And then I add my starch. Our favorite is Uncle Ben's roasted chicken flavored rice. It is pre-cooked. All you have to do is break it up with your fingers before you open the pouch.

If I don't have this or can't get it, I will use whatever cooked white or brown rice I have in the house. These days I can generally find something no matter what store I go to.

I can make this soup in as little as 5 minutes if I don't use the vegetables so it's almost as quick as opening a can if I don't add the veggies. Even if I do add the veggies, it just requires a bit more cooking time.

I have also made this in the crockpot, waiting until just before we are going to eat it to add the rice.

If I am feeling a little better or have more time, I will cook some rice or pasta from scratch and add that instead of the pre-cooked rice. Tinkyada brown rice spaghetti broken into small pieces tastes to us just like the Campbells chicken and noodle soup, especially on the 2nd day.

I have had people tell me that this soup couldn't possibly be good and that the only way to make good chicken soup is to use the whole chicken, bones and all. Well, I disagree. It is very flavorful and soothing when you're not feeling well and don't feel like cooking.

I was just about to dive into a lunch of Progresso Chicken & Wild Rice Soup, and after spending the last 2 days of recovering from being glutonized, I stopped. Something told me not to eat it. I had read in previous forums this was okay, and the ingredients did not say it had gluten, but it didn't say it was gluten free.

As my bowl of soup sat steaming, waiting to be eaten, I called Progresso and they said "We cannot guarantee that is not free of gluten", and lady on the line went on to explain that there is threat of cross contamination in the factory. However, she did say they had a list of 9 other soups on their website that are gluten free and they do state they are gluten free on the can.

I'm not going to risk it. But just wanted to put this out there.

My dogs will enjoy the soup!

Blessings!

gluten-free life is better.

Yep. Progresso is really good about labelling their gluten-free soups. The lentil one is my favorite.

For those in Canada, here is a link to a list of Campbell's gluten-free soups, from the Campbell's Canada website. My apologies to our American friends; I can't verify if they are the same or different in the US.

Enjoy! You'll be glad to see there are more than a few things to choose from. :)

The list of Campbell's products that are gluten-free is quite different in Canada and the US.

We had Pacific Foods Southwest Veg last night. It wasn't as good as homemade, but still pretty tasty. Comes in a "paper box" ( like a juice box). Labelled gluten-free, no Msg, no soy. Got it at Target but have seen it at the regular grocery.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a...

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
