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.

      I think giving attention to the main sources of exposure such as direct consumption of gluten and gross cross contamination with reasonable attention to handwashing and thorough counter top cleaning and dishwashing should cover cross contamination issues. The biggest precautions would be eating in restaurants and at other's homes. Don't get paranoia over it and don't make trouble where there is none. As far a what you communicate with your physicians, just tell them what you know. Strongly positive antibody tests, negative biopsy, positive symptoms when consuming gluten with clearing of symptoms when gluten free.

      Occasionally we do see anomalies where celiac antibody tests are positive but biopsies are negative, and even visa versa. Sometimes, damage to the small bowel lining is patchy and unless numerous samples are taken from various areas, the damage can be missed. So, there's that issue as well. I think in your situation, the tell-tale indicator is the difference in symptoms between when you were off gluten and when you were consuming it.

      Okay, that makes sense - so based off of the 90% odds that it is positive, it’s worth switching to fully gluten-free? How strict do I need to be with cross-contamination, handling, etc. Is it something that can go by feel, for instance if I feel okay making my family sandwiches and handling the bread as opposed to eating it, or is it something that is causing silent damage even if I feel fine? Also, do I make it clear to my rheumatologist and other medical providers that I am celiac? Or will they veto that due to negative endoscopy? Thanks again for the help!

      If you look at the article that I shared you will notice that "The test is estimated to have a sensitivity of approximately 90%, which means that it correctly identifies 90% of people with celiac disease. It also has a high specificity of around 95%, which means that it correctly identifies 95% of people who do not have celiac disease," so your results indicate that you very likely have celiac disease, especially if you also have symptoms while eating gluten that go away when you stop eating it (although many celiacs don't have obvious symptoms).
