Cooking Casseroles

I am new to this board so I apololgize if this answer is already been posted. I was diagnosed with celiac disease in October and am slowly making progress. My wife has been great in cooking things I can eat while also feeding our 3 & 5 year old boys what they like. They have no indications of celiac disease and hopefully never will. One of our biggest problems is cooking casseroles because of the creamed soup issue. In Bette Hagman's cook book she has a creamed soup base mix. We have everythng but the gluten-free powdered soup base that it calls for. We have been unable to find this and therefore can't make the base. Information on where to find this soup base would be greatly appreciated. I just discovered this forum and reading the posts have helped me greatly. It is nice to know that my feelings are not completely out or ordinary and that battling some depression issues is not uncommon. Thanks in advance to anybody that can help.

I had the exact same problem as you did I had everything but the powder and I couldn't find it. Until one day when i was at SaveOn Foods I found Harvest Sun Organic Free Range Chicken Broth powder and as well as the Vegetable broth. It was the highlight of my day and they were even on sale that day. It says right on the back of the container that they are gluten free. SaveOn Foods isn't the only place that I found it so I am sure you will be able to fight it at a place near you.

If like me, you live in a remote area, you may have to do some shopping on the Internet. Glutano brand has a beef and chicken that I have. I cannot remember which site I found it on but if you type in gluten free soup base or gluten free boullion, into a search engine like Yahoo or Excite, you should be able to find it. I use it for all sorts of stuff.. I just did a search and found even more products!! YAY!! Here try this link...

Open Original Shared Link sorry I dont know how to put that into active link.. <_< but if you type it in your browser, it will pop up. Soup is food for the soul as are hotdishes ( thats what we call em here in Iowa and what I grew up on) and you should not go without. :) Stay strong.

:D my sister found a soup base that is gluten free too--she found it at a store in lansing, michigan--today i found it here at king kullen in islip, new york--so it must be out there to find everywhere ;) --its not powder though--its a chicken base made by Superior Touch--www.superiortouch.com --the name on the jar is, "Better Than Bouillon"--1 teaspoon is = to one bouillon cube or an 8 oz. can of broth and its good :P --now if only i could find some good noodles to put it on :( deb

Hey Deb, have you tried Aproten pasta? I have tried them all, I mean all. Online, in the store in the city.. at health food stores. Aproten is the best in my opinion. The rest have funky textures that I dislike. Aproten is imported from Italy, its costly, it contains saffron but you can hardly tell its not wheat pasta. I for one keep waiting for my brain to forget wheat pasta. <_< It comes in many different shapes. If you like big fat noodles, try the taggatelli (sp?) its big fat noodles and it works well in hotdishes. :)

I'm confused, I am also looking for the gluten-free powdered soup base - it seems like the products you are mentioning are similar to boullion cubes - is that what "powdered soup base" means? Can I just use the Knorr gluten-free boullion cubes from my grocery store?

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!
