Help - Gluten Free Broths? (canada)

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

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.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      By trents · Posted

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
