Are Swanson chicken and beef broths ok? I couldn't find any info on their website so I thought I would ask here.

Thanks,

Jerry

The Swanson broths are NOT OK. I checked with them a while ago. Health Valley sells organic chicken, beef, vegie broths that if you buy them in the cans are OK, but for some reason the waxed cardboard containers have gluten (made in different plants, they told me) Also Herb Ox boullion cubes are OK.

Imagine's broths are ok. (Do check on the soups that have soy sauce in them, though - the labels are quite clear.)

i have heard by numerous people that swansons was not gluten-free. i recvd a letter form campbells that states certain swansons are gluten-free. i have not bought it bc of the high amount of people that say they are not gluten-free. whats the deal with it, so confusing

Here's the deal: only certain SIZES of Swanson are gluten-free. Which makes me wonder about thier TRUE GFitey :-) You have to read the lables. Some don't list wheat, others do...sigh...I stick with Herb Ox Bouillion myself.

Campbell says some Swansons are OK. If you have a Kroger somebody just posted that Kroger broths are gluten-free. I did not check this myself.

I'm so glad I read this post! :)

I bought a can of Swanson's broth the day after I was diagnosed. (Luckily, it is still in the cabnit). I read on one gluten-free list that it was gluten-free, but now that I'm learning a little more, I'll go home and make sure the kind I bought was the gluten-free kind...I've been busy this past weekend donating all of my Glutened can food and boxed food to charity. Hopefully, someone without gluten intolerance will enjoy it all! ;)

Thanks again! -Julie

ARGGGGGGG :angry: I have been eating it.. but youre right, the cardboard box has gluten, its the can, certain size that does not. HOW STUPID IS THIS!!! I am very limited here... I live in rural Iowa.. Swanson and store brands are it unless I go to Des Moines which is over an hour an half away. DANG IT..

You might consider making your own broth the next time you make a chicken and freeze it. It tastes better too!

Hi all, I am reading the swanson 32 0z box .....i don't see the gluten...i talked to swanson sevral months ago and they said all their ready to serve sizes are gluten-free...what ingredient contains the gluten.....Kathy :(

The Remarkable Brand Chicken Broths are gluten-free. They are the brands for Randell's, Safeway, and Tom Thumb. They just updated their gluten-free list two week ago which would be the middle of October 2004. The rep said all of their chicken broths are currently gluten-free.

Traci,

The good news is that you can easily make your own broth by using Herb Ox Bouillion cubes...says Gluten Free right on the canister!!!!

      @HAUS, I was at an event in the UK a few years back. I remember ringing the restaurant ahead to inquire about the gluten free options. All I wanted was a few gluten free sandwiches, which they provided and they were delicious. The gluten-free bread they used was Warbutons white bread and I remember mentioning it on this site before. No harm in trying it once. It's fortified with Calcium and Iron. https://www.warburtonsglutenfree.com/warbs_products/white-loaf/ The only other gluten-free bread that I've come across that is fortified is Schar with Iodized salt, nothing else.

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin.  In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began developing serious vitamin-deficiency diseases: Beriberi → caused by a lack of thiamin (vitamin B1) Pellagra → caused by a lack of niacin (vitamin B3) Anemia → linked to low iron and lack of folate By the 1930s–40s, these problems were common in the U.S., especially in poorer regions. Public-health officials responded by requiring wheat flour and the breads made from it to be “enriched” with thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and iron. Folic acid was added later (1998) to prevent neural-tube birth defects. Why gluten-free bread isn’t required to be enriched? The U.S. enrichment standards were written specifically for wheat flour. Gluten-free breads use rice, tapioca, corn, sorghum, etc.—so they fall outside that rule—but they probably should be for the same reason wheat products are.

      Keep in mind that there are drawbacks to a formal diagnosis, for example more expensive life and private health insurance, as well as possibly needing to disclose it on job applications. Normally I am in favor of the formal diagnosis process, but if you've already figured out that you can't tolerate gluten and will likely stay gluten-free anyway, I wanted to at least mention the possible negative sides of having a formal diagnosis. While I understand wanting a formal diagnosis, it sounds like she will likely remain gluten-free either way, even if she should test negative for celiac disease (Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If her symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it would likely signal NCGS).

      Thank you all so much for your advice and thoughts. We ended up having another scope and more bloodwork last week. All serological markers continue to increase, and the doc who did the scope said there villous atrophy visible on the scope — but we just got the biopsy pathology report back, and all it says is, “Duodenal mucosa with patchy increased intraepithelial lymphocytes, preserved villous architecture, and patchy foveolar metaplasia,” which we are told is still inconclusive…  We will have her go gluten free again anyway, but how soon would you all test again, if at all? How valuable is an official dx in a situation like this?
