Progresso Soups

I was just at the grocery store staring longingly at the ease of the canned soup aisle when I decided to pick one up -

Progresso's Chicken Corn Chowder and Progresso's Southwestern Style Chicken both have no gluten ingredients listed. While checking other varieties I realized that they are good about listing the main allergens at the bottom of the ingredient listings, so that gave me confidence.

Also I know that their cream of mushroom is gluten-free and I've used it before with no reactions.

Anyone tried or had any reactions to either of these soups?

Thanks

Courtney

Here is my logic:

Progresso is a Betty Crocker company. They are a company that will clearly list any gluten containing ingredients, and will not hide them in flavors, starch, etc. Coupled with the food labeling law with requires ALL companies to list wheat (either in the ingredients and/or in the "list" at the end), I would feel comfortable in reading their labels. If there aren't any gluten containing ingredients, then it is safe.

I haven't tried either of those, but I use their Creamy Mushroom and their Thick and Hearty New England Clam Chowder often, and have done well with them.

If you try them, let us know if they are yummy!

Thanks Laura -

That's my logic, too.

Plus after I put my post up I started to do some more Google-Research and it seems that Progresso is quite good, in fact, about listing gluten ingredients.

I guess all my questions will be answered in about an hour or so!!

same here :D

i cried when i first made a casserole w/ the mushroom soup. i grew up on campbells and my mom was a mushroom soup fanatic, so giving that up after dx was hard! now, my only problem is finding the stuff. walmart had it there ONCE, and i shoulda grabbed a couple of cases. they haven't had it in almost 2 months :( i found it at albertsons the other day, but for like, $3 a can. :blink: maybe i will have to search for some coupons or something.

anyway, enjoy :D

As others have stated, they are good about labeling and generally I've had no problems with a couple of exceptions.

I reacted once to Creamy Mushroom. My wife has no gluten intolerance but has a mushroom allergy. She reacted to a can of their soup that didn't list mushrooms as an ingredient.

Any company could have cross contamination. We could have screwed up and had cross-contamination in our house.

Oh Sweetfudge, I cried, too!! The Progresso's Cream of Mushroom was just way too thin and watery to make casserole with!! I know there's ways to thicken it up, but nothing is the same as Campbell's gelatinous mass of can-shaped soup...

Anyways, I had a can of the Chicken and Corn Chowder last nite and it didn't appear to affect me adversely, so that's good news! It was delicious because I did not have to physically prepare it.

Granted, my entire system is all sorts of messed up and so I pretty much felt like crap to begin with. Basically nothing got *worse* after my soup. The real test will be once I get back on track.

Thanks for the input, y'all!

I've had the "Creamy Mushroom", "Chicken and Wild Rice", and "Chicken and Rice" and never felt bad.

By the way, the Creamy Mushroom is great if you fry it up with ground beef and chopped up potato. I really don't like mushrooms, but the sauce makes the beef/potato taste so good.

      No, I would not say this at all. If you were diagnosed with celiac disease and were gluten-free for a while, you could have gone into remission. Everyone's body is different, and some celiacs may be able to get regular contamination and not end up with damaged villi and positive antibody tests, while others who ingest tiny amounts will relapse and have full blown symptoms and flattened villi.  Only a full gluten challenge would reveal where you are at this point. 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:

      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.

      Great  post. The skin issue can be intolerable. I have been taking niacinamide for the past month and have improved with respect to the blistering lesions.

      I've found taking Niacin Vitamin B 3 in the form that causes flushing (nicotinic acid) helps immensely to clear my skin.  The flushing is harmless and goes away the longer Niacin is taken.  The flushing (vasodilation in the skin) helps the body get rid of the tTg 3 IgA antibodies that cause the blisters.  TTg 2 IgA antibodies are found in the blood and are measured in diagnostic testing for Celiac.  People with Dermatitis Herpetiformis make tTg 3 as well as tTg 2 antibodies.  Niacin Vitamin B3 in the non flushing form niacinamide also works without the flushing, but takes a bit longer.   I also avoid foods containing high levels of iodine because iodine activates the tTg 3 IgA antibodies to become more active and make more blisters.  I avoid kelp (nori, seaweed) and crustaceans,  eggs, dairy products, and iodized table salt.   Niacinamide and Nicotinic acid are water soluble and harmless.  I'd much rather take Niacin than Dapsone with scary side effects.

      We have a gluten-free household. It's the least stressful option. No one else in my family has Celiac, but they are all extremely supportive. We don't even have Play-doh for this kids.
