Progresso makes a gluten free cream of mushroom soup. I can't use it because of a soy intolerance but am going to try making it from a recipe in Bette Hagman's Gluten Free Gourmet because my husband likes hot dish too! :D

Hey RM,

The only recipe I've found in any of my gluten-free books so far is this one from Living Gluten Free for Dummies:

"Cream of" soups: Use chicken broth and sour cream or half-and-half. Remember to add the food the soup is cream of - mushroom, celery, potato, and so on - to complete the soup.

best regards, lm

Progresso has a gluten free "Creamy Mushroom" soup (not Cream of Mushroom). It is good...I heat it on the stove and thicken it a little bit with some gluten free flour.

Health Valley has a Cream of Mushroom and Cream of Chicken that are both gluten-free.

We use the Progresso ALL the time in our house....as do my parents and in-laws when they make casseroles and such for me.

Can you use rice flour as a thickener or would it be better to use corn starch. I'm actually trying to make a whitesauce as a base for a cheese sauce. I'm always leary of corn starch breaking down if it gets overcooked. What would you suggest?

My favorite thickener for sauces and gravies is sweet rice flour. So far, I haven't had any problems with it...

What is this "hot dish" you speak of? Never heard of it. lm

In general, I use one of the pre-packaged gluten free flour mixes (something along the lines of Bob's Red Mill, Arrowhead Mills, etc. etc.) I rarely use a "single" flour unless I'm making a certain recipe (i.e., for baking, when it calls for specific flours). I substitute "my" flour for anything that generally calls for flour :) Makes it easier on me that way!

I frequently use potato flour, expecially if I'm making a chowder or gravy.

Oh-oh-oh - your suggestion gave me a great idea. :)

I took some dehydrated toasted onions* (about 1T) in about a cup of chicken broth.

I simmered this for a while to soften up the onions.

Meanwhile, I put some Bob's Red Mill all-purpose gluten-free flour blend in some water and whisked it smooth (about 1-1/2 T in about a half cup water).

I added this to the hot broth while whisking, and this thickened it up well.

Now, this in itself would have been good.... BUT...

I had some of AndreaB's cashew cheese in the fridge, and added some of this (about 3/8 cup),. It melted and blended in with the thickened broth. Added some salt, too.

I poured this in a casserole dish over cooked green beans and had a GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE - gluten-free, corn-free, dairy-free, soy-free. I put this in the oven until bubbly.

I haven't had this casserole in years. I'm so excited!

The onions are Rokeach brand All Natural Toasted Onion - has only onions in it. I bought it at a Jewish grocery store and it's labeled "may be used for passover" which means there's no hidden corn in it (for those of you who have a corn-allergy).

Valda,

That is so wonderful! I think your recipe sounds great....you really have to think outside of the box when you have multiple issues...and it sounds like you are doing that wonderfully!

(at one point last year, for 6-8 months, I was reacting severely to all but about 8 foods, and my reactions included all dairy, soy, eggs, all grains-including rice, etc., potatoes, legumes, corn, etc. so I can sympathize. its so important to find things that "work.")

I am now able to use the above-mentioned cream of X soups, and it has been so nice to make "normal" recipes, just modifying it.

Enjoy green bean casserole! :) :) :)

I'm glad you asked the question about cream of mushroom soup, the responses you received will be so helpful to me to prepare things for my daughter who has celiac and crohn's disease.

Good luck with you meals and health.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash...

It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash vegetables. I noticed my stools were suddenly formed, if a bit narrow. I knew then that the diarrhea was probably food related not medication related. I tried following the fodmap diet but honestly it was just too complicated, I just lived with pooping 8x a day and wondering how I'd ever get and keep a job once my children were in school.  This past December I got my yearly bloodwork and my triglycerides were high. I looked into Dr. William Davis (wheat belly author) and he recommended going off wheat and other grains. This is the first time in my life I was reading labels to make sure there was no wheat. Within 2 weeks, not only were my stools formed and firm but I was only pooping twice a day, beautiful formed Bristol #4.  Dr. Davis allows some legumes, so I went ahead and added red lentils and beans. Nervous that the diarrhea would come back if I had IBS-D. Not only did it not come back, it just made my stools even bigger and beautiful. Still formed just with a lot more width and bulk. I've also been eating a lot of plant food like tofu, mushrooms, bell peppers, hummus etc which I thought was the cause of my diarrhea before and still, my stools are formed. In January I ran a genetics test because I knew you had to have the genes for celiac. The report came back with  DQ 2.2 plus other markers that I guess are necessary in order for it to be possible to have celiac. Apparently DQ 2.2 is the "rarer" kind but based on my report it's genetically possible for me to have celiac.  I know the next step is to bring gluten back so I can get testing but I am just not wanting to do that. After suffering with diarrhea for years I can't bring myself to do it right now. So that is where I am!
