I am not a bean lover, but I do like putting VanCamp's Pork N Beans in my chili ~ yes, it sounds wierd, but it is good!! Anyway, since learning that VanCamp's is NOT gluten-free, I need an alternative. Any ideas?? Is Bush's gluten-free? Any other brand? I like the small navy beans... not any red or kidney beans. Yes, I am picky when it comes to beans! Sorry!! :(

Bush's beans has a gluten-free list. I believe everything is gluten-free except their chili magic line. You will probably want to write them and get a current list. Hope that helps.

Thank you!! That is great to know. I will write them asap and find out. I needed to go to the grocery store, so I will pick up a can (after reading the label of course!). ;)

Since you are in Nebraska, you probably have HyVee stores there? The HyVee brand of Pork & Beans are gluten free according to their gluten free list at HyVee.com.

Thank you Dewey! ~ The closest one is an hour away, but I do go that way more often than I should! :) I will give them a try.

VanCamp's may possibly have changed their formula since this thread was begun in 2004. But, everywhere I'd seen on the internet, VanCamp's Pork and Beans in tomato sauce is gluten-free. Well, I don't think so. Possibly gluten is now being put in the "natural flavorings?" Anyway, I've had one heck of a gluten reaction after eating this yesterday. I'm still having problems today, like I always do for 24-48 hours after getting glutened.

Everything else I ate was all fresh whole foods, so there is no doubt what did it. The VanCamp's Pork and Beans.

I sure wish these manufacturer's would put on their labels when they've changed a formula, or put the allergy warnings like they should. It would have saved me two days of pure He$$.

Does Nebraska have Meijers? I liked thier organic beans. I tried several varieties and had no problems.

Nope, sorry, just checked and you don't have Meijers Brand stores.

For those of you in the Great Lakes area though..........

Campbell's appear to be gluten-free. Does anyone know for sure?

Last I heard, Campbell's beans are not gluten-free. B&M are, though, and imported Heinz from England. You might want to check the Campbell's website - they were not when I went gluten free 5 years ago and I haven't checked lately.

Okay, thanks. Pork and beans are not something I buy too often. I have diabetes and they are pretty high in carbs for me. Mainly I just buy plain canned or dried beans. I do think I had some little cans of pork and beans (thought they might have been Campbell's but maybe not) that daughter didn't react to. But she is no longer allergic to gluten. Just wheat.

I called Campbells, they said nothing they put in a can is gluten free.

Here is the link to Campbell's gluten free. They commented on a thread I was reading yesterday about soups. Open Original Shared Link

(I didn't look to see if it would help this question, though.)

      My only proof

      OKJmartes. Skin and eyes. Also anxiety and frustration. I have read that Celiacs have more skin problems than people who do not have Celiacs. I take increased levels of Vit.

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      I refused to do the gluten challenge for a long time because I knew how sick I would be: I have always had and still have positive antibodies and have so many symptoms my GI was 💯 sure I would have a positive biopsy. I didn’t want to make myself sick to get a negative biopsy and be more confused by all this. He couldn’t guarantee me a negative biopsy meant ...

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      It's completely understandable to struggle with the gluten challenge, especially when it impacts your health and studies so significantly. Your experience of feeling dramatically better without gluten is a powerful clue, whether it points to celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. It's very wise of you and your doctor to pause the challenge until...

      Stomach hurts with movement

      It's smart that you're seeing the gastroenterologist tomorrow. While it's possible this is a severe and persistent inflammatory reaction to gluten, the fact that the pain is movement-dependent and localized with tenderness is important for your specialist to hear. It could indeed be significant inflammation, but it's also worth ruling out other overlapping...

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      I refused to do the gluten challenge for a long time because I knew how sick I would be: I have always had and still have positive antibodies and have so many symptoms my  GI was 💯 sure I would have a positive biopsy. I didn’t want to make myself sick to get a negative biopsy and be more confused by all this.  He couldn’t guarantee me a negative biopsy meant no celiac bc there may not be damage yet or it’s possible to miss biopsies where there’s damage but he was so sure and convinced me I needed that biopsy I went back on gluten. It was a terrible experience! I took pictures of the bloating and swelling and weight gain during the challenge. I gained 9 pounds, looked pregnant, was in pain , couldn’t work or function without long naps and the brain fog was debilitating. And in the end he didn’t get a positive biopsy… so I wish I had never wasted my time or health going through it. I haven’t been truly straightened  out since and I am currently battling a shingles infection at 43 and I can’t help but wonder if the stress I put my body under to try and get an official diagnosis has caused all this. Best of luck to you - whatever you decide. It’s not a fun thing to go through and I still don’t have the answers I was looking for

      It's completely understandable to struggle with the gluten challenge, especially when it impacts your health and studies so significantly. Your experience of feeling dramatically better without gluten is a powerful clue, whether it points to celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. It's very wise of you and your doctor to pause the challenge until your holidays, prioritizing your immediate well-being and exams. To answer your questions, yes, it is possible for blood tests to be negative initially and become positive later as the disease progresses, which is why the biopsy remains the gold standard. Many, many people find the gluten challenge incredibly difficult due to the return of debilitating symptoms, so you are certainly not alone in that struggle. Wishing you the best for your exams and for obtaining clearer answers when you're able to proceed.

      It's smart that you're seeing the gastroenterologist tomorrow. While it's possible this is a severe and persistent inflammatory reaction to gluten, the fact that the pain is movement-dependent and localized with tenderness is important for your specialist to hear. It could indeed be significant inflammation, but it's also worth ruling out other overlapping issues that can affect those with celiac disease. Is it possible you got some gluten in your diet somehow? This could be a possible trigger. Hopefully, tomorrow's appointment will provide clearer answers and a path to relief so you can get back to your lectures and enjoy your weekend. Wishing you all the best for the consultation.

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      By Xravith · Posted

      Hello, I'm back with a second post. The first time I wrote, I mentioned the possibility that my symptoms were related to gluten. I did a genetic test in which I resulted to have the predisposition, but the results of my blood test were all negative without IgA deficiency. My doctor suggested that it was necessary to do a biopsy to rule out Celiac Disease. However, he said, because of my family history and my symptoms were strongly related to gluten, it was very possible that my Celiac Disease is developing and my antibodies may become positive in the future.  I tried to continue the gluten challenge for the biopsy, around 2-3 g of gluten per day, but it was enough to make me feel worse each passing day. I started developing anemia and other mild nutritional deficiencies, and it was really affecting my daily life. I'm a student and exams are coming up, so my doctor suggests me to strictly remove gluten until I feel better so I could study without problems until I could do the gluten challenge when I come back home for holidays. Since going gluten free, I feel like a completely different person. My mind is clearer, I have no stomach pain during the day, and even my nails improved within just two weeks. It could also be Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, but of course I’ll need the biopsy to know for sure. I was wondering, has anyone else had negative blood tests at first and later tested positive? And has anyone struggled with the gluten challenge because of symptoms?
