hey

Can anyone help me out...I"m trying to find some gluten free broth because I'm sick of making it from scratch.

I know that campbell's lists their vegetable broth as a Canadian product with no added gluten. I am also aware of the glutino gluten-free soup bases. I am not able to have either of these products due to some other allergies and I would love to find a gluten-free chicken broth to use in sauces, gravies, etc

Please help.

FYI - I'm in Toronto, spend a lot of time in North York and downtown so if you know of a certain place in the city that I can go...tell me. I'll go!!

THANKS

KDawg

Hi there, neighbour,

You don't say what your other food allergies are, so I'm a bit in the dark. Bovril bouillon concentrate powder (in foil pouches) is gluten-free in both chicken and beef (we use it). Bovil liquid chicken concentrate is gluten-free, but the beef is NOT.

Bovril is by Knorr, which is a Unilever company. Unilever will always clearly label gluten grains by name in the ingredients list, so if the Bovril isn't suitable, read labels on other Knorr products and you may find one that is.

We buy most of our food at Longo's or Loblaw. Selection at Loblaw varies widely by location. The one at Bayview and Hwy 7 in Richmond Hill has a lot. I live in Unionville and work in the Yonge-Lawrence area. We do most of our shopping north of Steeles. If you want, I can list other stores that carry gluten-free specialty items. Let me know.

:)

ha ha - hey Neighbour!

thanks so much for the information -- I am absolutely going to the grocery store to check out the Bovril and knorr items you mention. I was not aware that Unilever clearly lists gluten (as does Con Agra, I believe).

I would LOVE it if you list off some stores that carry gluten free speciality items. Since I'm living in North York (near Mel Lastman squre), it's easy to drive North and I'll check out that Loblaws on Bayview. The only specialty store I know of is Chapmans (and you are the one who told me about it in an earlier posting).

Thanks!

Glutino (the great Canadian company) makes several gluten-free broths in little white plastic bottles. Also, you can order "better than bullion" from Amazon.

Hi there,

I've been using Kitchen Basics Original Chicken Cooking Stock - it is labeled "gluten free" on the package - I got this from Wholefoods around Bloor and Avenue. I'm going to check out the other options listed in this thread though since it's more expensive.

Pacific makes some gluten-free broths in 1L tetra packs. They are available at Costco in a six pack and it is clearly labelled gluten-free on the bottom of the box. I'm out west though so I'm not sure if this available out east.

      Potential celiac need advice

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.
