Anybody know of a chicken boullion (powder or paste) free of corn/soy/gluten? I want to make something for a potluck, and I know someone who is avoiding all 3. They are definitely a "triple threat", since it's hard to find lots of things that don't have at least one of them! :angry:

Thanks!

I do have recipes for chicken style seasoning that are vegan. They don't taste like chicken but they may work. I have not tried this recipe. It's from Guilt Free Gourmet by Vicki Griffin.

Chick-it Seasoning

Blend:

1/4 c salt

1/2 c nutritional yeast flakes

1/4-1/2 tsp turmeric

1/2-1 tsp garlic powder

1 Tb onion powder

1/2 tsp marjoram

1/2 tsp sage of summer savory

1 tb parsley

Blend thoroughly to a powder-like consistency.

Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator.

This is an excitotoxin free seasoning.

It is great in any of your recipes that call for chicken-like seasoning or chicken broth.

You can use it to season soups, sauces, gravies, burgers, loafs, or other savory dishers.

Keeps very well in the freezer, so make up a double recipe!

I was all those things "free" for awhile and never found one. Corn is in everything.

Pacific Natural Foods make a number of gluten-free SF CF broths. I haven't been able to find a DF SF gluten-free boullion but these broths make an okay substitute. Not quite the electric yellow of the boullions but a little tumeric added to the chicken colors it nicely if you like the golden yellow.

Thanks for all the recipes and responses.

I did find one brand that looks OK. It's not a chicken flavor, but I think it would work. I am not familiar with all the ways to hide corn and soy. Can you experts read it over for me? I have found several posts on this board that state that it is gluten-free, but I need to know about the soy and corn. I sent an email to the company, but haven't heard back yet. They don't have a phone number listed on their website. I need this to be a powder or paste because I am using it an a salad dressing recipe, and the broths with the water in it would dilute it too much.

I'm not sure what the mace is. Other than that it looks ok. The yeast extract is a hidden form of msg if that is something that you are concerned with.

I use the Rapunzel Bouillon and seem to do ok with it. I like the flavor too.

Andrea, mace is a spice similar to nutmeg. I think they come from the same fruit seed.

Your chicken spice mixture recipe sounds good. What is the difference between yeast extract and nutritional yeast different?

I'm not sure of the difference. The nutritional yeast is flaked. I haven't seen yeast extract. It's just on the truthinlabeling site as a hidden form of msg due to the processing proceedures.

Thanks for clearing up the mace. :)

Herb-ox(made by Hormel) boullion cubes are gluten free. I have the vegetable, chicken, and beef cubes in my pantry. Also, for liquid broth, I know Swanson's chicken broth is gluten free. I've always made gravy with this(when I didn't have a whole chicken/turkey) and was pleased to not even have to change my recipe for gravy I had always used, Mom gave it to me long ago.

If you were to make gravy here's a simple recipe. Been making this since I was around 10. (good way to keep a 10 year old boy out of trouble on thanksgiving by making him sit on a stool at the stove and make gravy)

1 can Swanson chicken broth

"random" amount of Corn Starch

I usually drop in a few spices and maybe a vegetable boullion cube or two.

It is surprising that some have used flour to make gravy. It makes an grainy texture. One tip for making the gravy. Add your corn starch to cold water and mix in well. You don't want to add it to the broth when it is cooking. Ok, I sometimes add a little bit here and there. But if you dump in corn starch to the broth while its hot, it can curdle. I usually go a little bit overboard with how much water I think I will need. Then add the water/broth, and the let the gravy reduce at low heat.(excess water steams off)

I have been using for years ----Organic Gourmet Vegitable Boullion--- that I get at Raleys or Belair Market in the natral foods section. Ican get it in regular or low sodium and love it!!!

Herb ox also makes granulated boullion that is gluten free. I like to sprinkle it on rice or veggies. Yum.

I did notice that the boullon cubes contain hydrolyzed Corn Protein - the granulated boullion does not.

In a health food store once, I also found Vogue Cuisine Instant Chicken Flavored Base. Their website is www.voguecuisine.com

(Never mind - it contains soy grits and soybean powder).

I've really enjoyed reading the responses of this post. I would also like to Thank you all for your suggestions. I also am trying to avoid gluten in meals. However, I have to avoid all forms of Corn in all my food. Rather it's corn solids, HFCS, corn starch, maltedextrin, dextrose, etc. Unfortunately it did look like the "Better than Bouillon" does have corn solids in it, which would not make it corn free. I also would like to clarify that hydrolyzed soy, hydrolyzed proteins, or hydrolyzed / autolyzed yeast are NOT forms of MSG. That is a common myth and misconception because they are both forms made of natural glutamates. However, these are not the same as MSG which is a synthetic glutamate. That doesn't mean people won't have reactions to them that are sensitive to glutamates, but to make sure the information is accurate. I just wanted to clarify these different names are different processing of natural glutamates. You can read more information about it if you'd like to at:

Anyways, I really appreciated your responses. It's been really great to find alternatives and ideas as to how to be able to cook corn, gluten, and soy free. I was starting to feel hopeless with bouillon flavorings.

Hi Mysterious!

You responded to a really old thread (2007) and it is unlikely that anyone who originally posted will respond. However, we have several members who have soy or corn intolerances.

Personally, I make my own chicken stock so I am not knowledgable about bouillon.

I just got a new order delivered of their flax and sunflower seeds, and it turns out that they are no longer GFCO-certified. Instead, it just has a generic "Gluten Free" symbol on the package. I reached out to them to ask what protocols/standards/testing they have in place. The person that wrote back said that they are now certifying their gluten free status in-house, but that she couldn't answer my questions related to standards because the person with that info was on vacation. Not very impressed, especially since it still says on their website that they are GFCO-certified. Buyer beware!

But one thing I would like to say to you, no matter where you live, is you mention that your daughter is anxious.  I was always a bit of a nervous, anxious child but before my diagnosis in mid-life my anxiety levels were through the roof.   My anxiety got steadily better when I followed the gluten-free diet and vitamin and mineral deficiencies were addressed.  Anxiety is very common at diagnosis, you may well find that her anxiety will improve once your daughter follows a strict gluten-free diet.

      Welcome to the celic.com community @Dizzyma! I'm assuming you are in the U.K. since you speak of your daughter's celiac disease blood tests as "her bloods".  Has her physician officially diagnosed her has having celiac disease on the results of her blood tests alone? Normally, if the ttg-iga blood test results are positive, a follow-up endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining to check for damage would be ordered to confirm the results of "the bloods". However if the ttg-iga test score is 10x normal or greater, some physicians, particularly in the U.K., will dispense with the endoscopy/biopsy. If there is to be an endoscopy/biopsy, your daughter should not yet begin the gluten free diet as doing so would allow healing of the small bowel lining to commence which may result in a biopsy finding having results that conflict with the blood work. Do you know if an endoscopy/biopsy is planned? Celiac disease can have onset at any stage of life, from infancy to old age. It has a genetic base but the genes remain dormant until and unless triggered by some stress event. The stress event can be many things but it is often a viral infection. About 40% of the general population have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. So, for most, the genes remain dormant.  Celiac disease is by nature an autoimmune disorder. That is to say, gluten ingestion triggers an immune response that causes the body to attack its own tissues. In this case, the attack happens in he lining of the small bowel, at least classically, though we now know there are other body systems that can sometimes be affected. So, for a person with celiac disease, when they ingest gluten, the body sends attacking cells to battle the gluten which causes inflammation as the gluten is being absorbed into the cells that make up the lining of the small bowel. This causes damage to the cells and over time, wears them down. This lining is composed of billions of tiny finger-like projections and which creates a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients from the food we eat. This area of the intestinal track is where all of our nutrition is absorbed. As these finger-like projections get worn down by the constant inflammation from continued gluten consumption before diagnosis (or after diagnosis in the case of those who are noncompliant) the efficiency of nutrient absorption from what we eat can be drastically reduced. This is why iron deficiency anemia and other nutrient deficiency related medical problems are so common in the celiac population. So, to answer your question about the wisdom of allowing your daughter to consume gluten on a limited basis to retain some tolerance to it, that would not be a sound approach because it would prevent healing of the lining of her small bowel. It would keep the fires of inflammation smoldering. The only wise course is strict adherence to a gluten free diet, once all tests to confirm celiac disease are complete.

      Hi all, I have so many questions and feel like google is giving me very different information. Hoping I may get some more definite answers here. ok, my daughter has been diagnosed as a coeliac as her bloods show anti TTG antibodies are over 128. We have started her  on a full gluten free diet. my concerns are that she wasn’t actually physically sick on her regular diet, she had tummy issues and skin sores. My fear is that she will build up a complete intolerance to gluten and become physically sick if she has gluten. Is there anything to be said for keeping a small bit of gluten in the diet to stop her from developing a total intolerance?  also, she would be an anxious type of person, is it possible that stress is the reason she has become coeliac? I read that diagnosis later in childhood could be following a sickness or stress. How can she have been fine for the first 10 years and then become coeliac? sorry, I’m just very confused and really want to do right by her. I know a coeliac and she has a terrible time after she gets gluttened so just want to make sure going down a total gluten free road is the right choice. thank you for any help or advise xx
