Pacific Vegetable Broth?

I have recently tried Pacific's Veggie Broth and noticed that I have been having reactions. I am unsure if it is from this product or Silk's Soy milk. Has anyone ever had any issues with this? The ingredients seem to be very safe, but I am extremely sensitive. Also, has anyone ever had any issues with Imagine soups? Any insight would be appreciated. :D

I use Pacific's broths alot without problem. Haven't used the Veg. broth. No problem with the Imagine products. I did try using the Silk Soymilk and didn't feel well so have quit using it. Wasn't my usual gluten reaction so I'm wondering if soy or something else in it bothers me.

I appreciate your responses! Yes, missy'smom, it seems to me that the Silk Soy milk is problematic for me as well. I am starting to believe that the carrageen has something to do with it. Although it is not gluten or a form of gluten, it is a stabilizer, which makes me think that I could be reacting to it.

I just did a little reading up on carageean and you may be right. That may explain why some soy milk seems not to bother me and others do. I used to get soymilk from a Vietnamese restaurant and it was so fresh and creamy and never seemed to bother me but many of the ones that are mass marketed give me something like headaches. I'm going to pay more attention to this. Thanks for bringing it up.

I have looked at West Soy's Organic Soy Milk and the ingredients look safe- no carrageen. Thing is, I know they process other soy milks that do contain barley and malt, so I fear the CC factor. At this point, I don't know if its worth trying, but it could be an option :)

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
