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?

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!

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.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Theresa2407 · Posted

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Possible celiac - need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  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:

      Celiac or not??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
