Dennison's Chili,

I can't decide if anything on Dennison's chili label looks bad, for sure. I tried to look up soy flour, soy pretein, and caramel coloring, with no definitive results. Anyone know for sure? I've eaten it, with only the bit of gassiness I'd expect from beans. But, is that why??? Does anyone know of any good chili, that is gluten-free? The kind I bought at Traders Joe's, tasted yucky, to me!

Thanks, Nita

you can make your own chili pretty fast by browning a pound of ground meat (I use turkey) adding a can of black beans, a can of kidney beans, two cans of diced tomatoes, a can of tomato paste, sage, cumin, ground cayanne, salt, and lots of chili powder. takes about half an hour from "take pan out of cabinet" to finished.

We eat Hormel Chili, it is gluten free. I make my own too, it really is easy. Let me know if you need a recipe.

Dennison's is a ConAgra product. ConAgra will clearly list any wheat if it's there, but not barley, rye or oats. Personally, I don't think you'd find those three hidden in a product like that. Soy flour and soy protein are soy. Caramel color, despite what you hear, really is not a major threat.

Hormel chili WITH beans is gluten-free. Without beans is not.

The best chili, though, is homemade. Make extra and freeze it.

I have tried eating Dennison's Chili a couple of times and every time I eat it I feel like I have eaten something with gluten in it. I thought it was possible that I just cross contaminated between me and my husband the first time because he is not gluten free. But after the first time I was supper careful and had the same reaction. I know the ingredients don't have say they have any gluten in them but maybe there is some cross contamination in the manufacturing process that they are not listing. This is just my experience though if you can eat it go for it.

      Eating gluten before blood test

      By trents · Posted

      Understood. And don't beat yourself up about this. Many are in the same boat as you, having experimented with the gluten-free diet before getting formerly tested. It is a logical, common sense approach when you don't have the knowledge about how testing works or you don't have the healthcare resources to afford testing. And some experience such severe reactions to gluten that it is impossible to get through the gluten challenge in order to get tested. So, they must live with the ambiguity of not knowing for sure if they suffer from celiac disease or NCGS. But at the end of the day, the antidote is the same for both. Namely, life-ling abstinence from gluten. Recently there was an article on posted on this forum about the develop of a new testing method for diagnosing celiac disease that do not require a gluten challenge. It is still in the developmental stage and probably years away from becoming main streams even if it pans out. But there is hope at least.

      Eating gluten before blood test

      Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Celiac symptoms but negative endoscopy and antibody test + family history of gastro problems

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your experience is incredibly common and frustrating for many in the celiac and gluten-sensitive community, and it's especially challenging with the added layer of healthcare disparities for people of African descent. A negative endoscopy and blood panel, while the gold standard, are not infallible and can miss cases, particularly if you weren't consuming a significant amount of gluten leading up to the tests (the "gluten challenge"). Your dramatic improvement on a gluten-free diet is the most critical piece of evidence here—your body is giving you the answer the tests could not. The symptoms you're describing now, especially the dyshidrotic eczema and blister bumps, are huge red flags for a gluten-related disorder, and your GP dismissing the possibility of dermatitis herpetiformis without a biopsy is a significant oversight. Requesting a new dermatologist and specifically asking for a skin biopsy next to an active lesion (not on it) is the absolute best next step. In the meantime, documenting your symptoms with photos and a food/symptom diary will build a powerful case for yourself. While the financial burden of a gluten-free diet is very real, your health is the priority; perhaps focusing on naturally gluten-free whole foods like rice, beans, and vegetables, rather than expensive processed substitutes, could be a more sustainable path forward until you can get a definitive opinion.
