Lipton Onion Soup Mix


cml

Recommended Posts

I ate some onion dip, which was made with Lipton Onion Soup Mix, and had a terrible reaction to it. I've always heard that it is gluten free. In reading the box after I had stomach pain, it says that it is made in a plant that also processes wheat products. Has anyone else noticed this, or had a similiar problem? Thanks

We use it often & never had a reaction to it.... Are you super sensitive?

cml Newbie

Yes, I am really sensitive, and now that I think back, there were many times when I gor a reaction, and could not tie it to any specific thing. Makes me wonder. I have seen a million gluten free recipes that called for Lipton Onion Soup Mix, and now I am a bit leery. Thanks for listening!

Please forgive me for bringing up a controversial subject - just trying to help, but - you could be reacting to monosodium glutamate (MSG). Some people just can't tolerate it at all (like me, for instance).

That is very poosible, that it could be a reaction to MSG. Good point. Thanks!

Does anyone have the ingredients for the soup mix? I am going somewhere tomorrow and they are using it on a brisket, so I wanted to know if I can have it or not! Thanks! :D

MSG and Corn Starch would do me in! B) A very bad combination for me!

Also, I know "caramel color" used to be made with wheat protein or malt. I read something that said it isn't made from that anymore in this country, but it's worth asking the company. Their caramel color supplier could have gotten it from a source that does make it from wheat.

Okay, I looked it up in my handy-dandy "Gluten Free Grocery Shopping Guide-2007 Edition" by Matison & Matison (little red book sold on this site), and it lists under Lipton soups: "Recipe Secrets Onion Soup Mix" is gluten free.

So I agree with the previous poster, it's probably the MSG.

Hope that helps. :)

Make sure it was not the Kosher version of the Lipton Onion Soup Mix. They make 2 different versions and I believe the Kosher one is not gluten-free.

Everyone.... thank you for all this good info. I have never been in this forum before, but I can see that it will be a big help from now on !!

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have 4 kids, and I really want to know. If I really do have it then they may have increased risk.

      Been off this forum for years. Is it that important that you get an official diagnosis of something? It appears like you had a trigger (wheat, gluten, whatever) and removing it has resolved your symptom. I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free condition. I was diagnosed over 20 years ago and have been symptom free only excluding wheat, rye and barley. I tolerate all naturally gluten free whole foods including things like beans which actually helps to form the stools.

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.

      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a coincidence, but the brain fog is back and I feel very tired.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed.
