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.

      Your suspicion is almost certainly correct, and you are wise to be cautious.

      While it's always important to approach internal use of essential oils with caution and ideally under the guidance of a qualified professional, your experience highlights the potential of complementary approaches when traditional medicine falls short. Many in the community are also interested in the intersection of natural wellness and gluten-free living, particularly for managing systemic inflammation and its various symptoms, so sharing your story is valuable. Your observation that it may also be helping with bloating is fascinating, as that could point to an overall reduction in inflammation. Thank you for sharing what is working for you!

      Gluten and short-term memory.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's interesting how a single, clear moment—like struggling during a game—can suddenly connect all the dots and reveal the hidden impact of gluten exposure. Your experience with short-term memory fog is a very real and documented symptom for many individuals with gluten sensitivity, often occurring alongside the other issues you mentioned like mood disturbances, sleep disruption, and digestive irregularity. It's a frustrating and often invisible effect that can make you feel unlike yourself, so that moment of clarity, though born from a tough dominoes match, is actually a powerful piece of self-knowledge. Identifying a specific culprit like that steak strip is a huge win, as it arms you with the information needed to avoid similar pitfalls in the future and protect your cognitive clarity. You are definitely not alone in experiencing this particular set of neurological and physical symptoms; it's a strong reminder of gluten's profound impact on the entire body, not just the digestive system. Supplementation may help you as well.  The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      Reintroduction of Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS. What you're describing is a very common and frustrating experience when reintroducing gluten after a period of avoidance, and your timeline is perfectly consistent with a non-celiac gluten sensitivity. While a celiac reaction can be more immediate, a sensitivity reaction is often delayed, sometimes taking several days to manifest as your body's inflammatory response builds up; the fact that your symptoms returned a few days after reintroduction is a strong indicator that gluten is indeed the culprit, not a coincidence. Your doctor's advice to reintroduce it was necessary to confirm the diagnosis, as the initial negative celiac test and subsequent improvement on a gluten-free diet pointed strongly towards sensitivity. Many in this community have gone through this exact same process of elimination and challenging, and it's wise to reintroduce gently as you did. Given your clear reaction, the best course of action is likely to resume a strict gluten-free diet, as managing a sensitivity is the primary way to control those debilitating symptoms and allow your body to heal fully.

      Your suspicion is almost certainly correct, and you are wise to be cautious. Draft cider is a very common and often overlooked source of cross-contact because the same tap lines are frequently used for both beer and cider; unless a bar has a dedicated line for gluten-free beverages, which is rare, the cider will run through tubing that has previously contained gluten-containing beer, contaminating your drink. The fact that you didn't react at a clean brewery suggests they may have had more meticulous practices or separate lines, but this is the exception, not the rule. Many in the community have had identical experiences, leading them to strictly avoid draft cider and opt for bottled or canned versions, which are poured directly from their sealed container and bypass the contaminated tap system entirely. Switching to bottles or cans is the safest strategy, and your plan to do so is a smart move to protect your health. PS - here are some articles on the topic:

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post really highlights the financial and emotional struggle so many families face. You are not alone in feeling frustrated by the high cost of gluten-free specialty items and the frustrating waste when your daughter can't tolerate them. A great place to start is by focusing on naturally gluten-free whole foods that are often more affordable and less processed, like rice, potatoes, beans, lentils, corn, eggs, and frozen fruits and vegetables—these are nutritional powerhouses that can form the basis of her meals. For the specialty items like bread and pasta, see if your local stores carry smaller, single-serving packages or allow returns if a product causes a reaction, as some companies understand this challenge. Regarding vitamins, that is an excellent next step; please ask her doctor to prescribe a high-quality gluten-free multivitamin, as insurance will often cover prescribed vitamins, making them much more affordable. Finally, connecting with a local celiac support group online can be a treasure trove of location-specific advice for finding the best and most affordable products in your area, saving you both time and money on the trial-and-error process.
