Can You Recommend Some Safe Canned Products?

I'm starting my new job Monday and am preparing a pantry so I'm never starved. I need some recommendations of canned foods (soups would be wonderful) that are gluten-free, Casein Free, Egg free and MSG Free. I've got a whole list of mug meals I can make, but it would be nice to have some I can buy right off the shelf. I'm longing for the old days of only having to find an MSG free brand. I'm also planning lots of leftovers and fruit. I'm just thinking ahead and of the huge volume of food I eat every day. I heard something about Progresso, but I don't remember much about what I heard.

Oh, and ham. I want to cook scalloped potatoes and ham. Does gluten-free ham exist?

I don't know about eggs and MSG but I eat CF and gluten-free and buy the Healthy Choice chicken and rice soup, you should check the Amy's brand too, some of them are CF. Some of the ones that come in cartons like Pacific and Imagine have CF "creamy soups like butternut squash, corn, roasted red pepper etc.

I would suggest the Hormel web site. They have a some gluten free stuff. Some is shelf stable like Dinty Moore Beef stew, and some is in the refrigerated section like the Italian Pot Roast.

The Hormel Natural Choice hams are gluten free, and it's even on the label. Also Boars Head deli meats (you could just have it sliced thick for your purpose) have it printed right on the front of the package, and I think all are OK.

Canned soups, Progresso has quite a few that are safe. At least, that are gluten free - you'll have to read them for the rest of the things you are trying to avoid. They have good labeling and if there's wheat, or flour, barley, milk, etc., it is in bold letters on their labels.

Health Valley Organics split pea is gluten-free.

If you have a Vitamin Cottage near you, they have gluten free food list at their customer service desk that they'll give you to pick products they stock. Whole Foods also has gluten free grocery list online, by location.

Oh, so much better than I was even dreaming. Keep em coming. I would almost seem normal to my coworkers my first week on the job if I opened up a can of chicken and rice soup and microwaved it. Well, normal except for the fact that I'll be asking for powder free gloves and treating the patient's crackers like a nuclear bomb.

Orgran makes a canned pasta that fits your description. You can get it online and I've seen it at some health food stores. It's quite sweet, so if you like Spaghettios, you'll like it.

Shelton's makes a chicken and wild rice soup and a chicken chili that are good.

Amy's makes some soups that fit your parameters. I no longer have any in the house because of daughter's pea and lentil allergies. I believe they also make a chili.

Hormel makes chili, beef stew and tamales that are good.

My daughter likes these chicken breasts.

Be sure to get only this flavor because the others contain cheese or other allergens. I serve them with a pouch of precooked rice from Trader Joe's or other places.

Most plain canned beans and other vegetables are fine. We like to get the little ones with pop tops. Just drain and eat out of the can, or nuke if you have a microwave.

Bush's baked beans are fine. Beware of chili beans. Most have gluten.

In a pinch, you can get a can of refried beans (all that I've seen are safe, but some have soy) or a can of Fritos bean dip and eat with corn chips. We usually buy Bearitos or some with Lame Advertisement seeds from the health food store, but sometimes we get Fritos. I know some people have problems with the Lays products, but we have not.

You can also get meals here:

Not all of them fit your parameters, but several do. They are kind of small though. If I send one in my daughter's lunch, I always have to add some fruit and vegetables.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
