Chicken/vegetable Broth And Natural Flavoring?

I was dx'd Monday and saw a dietician yesterday so this is all still new to me, but for now my confusion lies within these ingredients...

broths

natural flavoring

modified food starch (saw another thread on this)

So, are these safe...or do you only use them if the product is listed on a gluten-free list? Any good lists out there? I have this one...

Thanks!

For broth-- some swanson is fine, some isn't (example Swanson organic beef is gluten-free, the organic chicken isn't, but one kind of the chicken is). I normally use Wegman's brand (mid-atlantic states) or Knoxx bullion (they disclose all gluten).

With an allergy statement, I will consume products with modified foods starch or flavorings, without it, I won't.

The celiac group at delphi forums has a fairly extensive list.

Natural flavoring and broths are things you have to check into. If natural flavoring has wheat it has to be listed, so really your only concern is barley, and the risk of even that is pretty low. Call the company and ask. I've never found rye as a hidden ingredient in anything.

One exception to the natural flavoring thing is meat. If you see any raw meat that says it has natural flavoring or broth added (this is common in poultry and pork), the USDA REQUIRES that the manufacturer list any grain if it's in there. So all you have to do is read the label. This is a separate law from the one that requires the 8 allergens be listed. Frankly I've never found a raw meat that has gluten, although some have reported that Walmart has a beef they add gluten to. It's listed on the package.

I think there are some broths that have wheat, but that would have to be clearly listed. I remember one time calling a caterer and when he mentioned broth, I asked him to read the ingredients. The 4th one was wheat. He was surprised.

I use only Herb-Ox. They are labeled gluten and MSG free and come in powders or cubes. Barley Malt is commonly used in a lot of 'natural' flavors and I would always call the company if I am in doubt about the gluten statis of anything.

I also use the Wegmans broths, very good. I have to say I was very excited the day I found those at the store. Just to see the little gluten free label. I made so much soup last winter.

Herb-ox is my way too. Makes a really great "broth tea". Something that really helps me fall asleep at night.

Its made by Hormel too, they are really good about providing a nice selection of just normal gluten free foods. Hormel Chili and Dinty Moore beef stew are both gluten-free. In reality, the only two prepackaged things I eat much. I know that one of the types of Hormel Chili is not gluten-free, I believe its the spicy jalape

We use Kitchen Basics in the brick packs for all our broth. It says gluten-free right on the package.

I find bouillon to be too salty. I wish they made unsalted bouillon but I suspect the salt acts as a preservative. Hubby sometimes uses "Better than Bouillon" in a pinch but it still tastes like bouillon to me.

      Lubriderm-gluten-free?

      By Mswena · Posted

      So eight days in a row of gluten on top of gluten on top of gluten, I just had to resort to the EpiPen. I wish I could post a picture because you wouldn’t believe how enormous my gut is! It makes my head look like a pinhead.Ahhhgggsahhhhh!!!! I have discovered that I have to read the ingredients when I use a product up that I’ve been able to use without getting a reaction, because they can change the ingredients and bam my toothpaste now has gluten!!! my doctor told me gluten free means it has 20 ppm which someone with a severe a celiac as I’ve got that thing there kills me. I try to find certified gluten-free in everything. I can’t eat any oats unless it’s Bob’s red mill certified gluten-free. Good luck everybody this autoimmune disease is wicked wicked

      Lubriderm-gluten-free?

      By Mswena · Posted

      I have been using a little bit of Lubriderm when I wash my hands because it’s the lotion offered at a place I frequent once a week. Assuming it was gluten-free I bought a bottle. I couldn’t figure out why I was getting gluten EVERY night. I use a little of the lotion in the morning on my neck, with no reaction, but at night, I use it on my arms and legs and face and get gluten gut pretty bad. After eight nights of having to have diphenhydramine injections for severe gluten, I googled “is Lubriderm gluten-free” and it led me to this forum. I am going to go back to olive oil as I have been gut sick sooooooo bad with a huge gut and pain eight days in a row now. Sick of feeling sick.

      These look great!  I follow several people who frequently post gluten-free recipes online (plus they sell their cookbooks). "Gluten Free on a Shoestring" and "Erin's Meaningful Eats>"

      Latent celiac, need to go gluten free, advice on kitchen "reset?"

      By ShariW · Posted

      When I had to go gluten-free, the rest of my family still ate gluten. They still eat regular bread products and crackers, but there are no other gluten-containing foods in the house. I bought a separate toaster that is only used for gluten-free products, and thoroughly cleaned all cookware, dishes and surfaces. We do have to be very careful with cross-contact, for instance when someone else is making a sandwich with wheat bread. Then I went through my cupboards and pantry, I set aside everything else with gluten and gave it away - flour and baking mixes, pasta, etc. So when I cook any recipe that calls for flour (perhaps for thickening) or bread crumbs like Panko, I only use gluten-free. My cupboard now holds gluten-free baking flour, tapioca flour, rice flour, almond flour, gluten-free oats, gluten-free grits, gluten-free cornmeal, and a few gluten-free baking mixes for occasional use. On the odd occasion when we have pasta, it is gluten-free - nobody notices the difference in the "new" lasagna. I have found several good recipes that are gluten-free and everyone loves them. A family favorite is the Tarta de Santiago, a naturally gluten-free treat made with almond flour.
