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.

      @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 do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @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. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
