Today I was wandering through our Kroger looking for Cream of Mushroom soup to try and make green bean casserole with. I randomly picked up the Progresso soup since it was on sale and the back is clearly labelled as gluten free. I excitedly picked up about six other types (none had ingredients I could see as being gluten) but none were labelled gluten free. Is this labeling new, is there hidden gluten in the ones that are not clearly labelled?

Has anyone tried this soup and had good/bad results? I noticed it also clearly says no MSG on the front. So maybe this is just a new label or something? Help!

Quit eating Progresso and other canned soups like campbells, because they had MSG, chemicals, preservatives, ton of salt, etc. I don't know what they have now.

Soup is so easy for me to make fresh and quickly.

Sticking to the original question, Progresso is a brand of General Mills. General Mills will always clearly disclose any gluten source by naming the source grain in the ingredient list. If you do not see any of the words wheat, barley, rye or oats in the list, then the product does not contain any gluten. Read the label and you will know, regardless of whether the words "gluten-free" appear.

Thanks! I bought it since the sale ended today but I was anxious about actually trying it. I guess I'll test it out this week. I'll have to go back again and look at more of the soups to find out what other one's would be okay.

Their Creamy mushroom soup has been gluten free for a while, I have never had problems with it. They also have a few others that have gluten free on them. The main problem being no two stores carry the same soups around me. Just be sure to check the label each time. I think that some of the older cans do not say gluten free.

Ohhh wow! I didn't even think to look since Campbell's has wheat AND msg in it...

Now I can make my yummy white goulosh! It's just hamburger, (rice) macaroni, with the cream of mushroom mixed in (with a pinch of garlic)...and add some extra fresh mushrooms to it. OMG, I'm so hungry now (can't eat this stuff till the end of my elim. diet though!)

Progresso soups and broths are my best friend! :) They have several varieties to choose from and the cream of mushroom is amazing. I haven't seen an actual "gluten free" on the label but the allergens are clearly listed.

Their chicken and beef broths are also gluten free and say so on the package in nice, big letters!

I agree homemade soups are the best but it's nice to have something quick and easy in the pantry. I always take a can of chicken and rice along when we travel!

If you go to Progresso's website, you can find exactly which stores carry which soups. I was surprised to find that my local Walmart now carries it.

I'm going to make this for tonight. This is of the things my mom made for us when we were kids and the budget was tight, we loved it. We thought it was a treat. Little brother hated mushrooms so my mom convinced him those little squares of mushrooms were hamburger squares.

Your Response From "Progresso" - 2009/11/18-0401 ZGEW

From: "Corporate.Response@genmills.com" Corporate.Response@genmills.com

Dear Valued Consumer:

Thank you for contacting us about gluten in Progresso soup.

General Mills offers several products that are labeled gluten-free. Please check the package label for the gluten-free statement on the front/side/back of the package. Only products that can be verified to be gluten free will be declared as gluten free on the label. It is important to check the product label each time you purchase a product because it has the most accurate information about the product in the package.

Because we constantly strive to improve our products′ quality and nutritional value, the most up-to-date product information is on the package the product is purchased in. For that reason, we do not distribute product information lists as they could quickly become outdated.

For products not labeled gluten free, we will always declare gluten containing ingredients if they are added to the product. If the ingredient declaration lists wheat, oats, barley, rye, or derivatives of these grains, then the product contains gluten. Examples of derivative ingredients include: malt, barley malt, organic malt, semolina, Durham, triticale, and spelt. We do not include gluten containing ingredients in the ′Natural Flavors′ or ′Spices′ on the product ingredient list. If there are gluten ingredients in our products, those ingredients are always clearly listed.

If there are no gluten- containing ingredients listed in the product ingredient label, but the product does not make a gluten free claim, it is because we cannot fully assure that this product is gluten free. While we have not added gluten-containing ingredients, factors such as sourcing, conditions of manufacture, etc. do not allow us to provide the full level of assurance that a gluten free claim requires.

Additional information regarding gluten may be obtained by contacting your health care professional or:

I'm heading back to the store tomorrow to grab a few more cans and to check the back of every type of soup. I feel like I might need to start sending all of you that can't get the creamy mushroom care packages with it. :) I made my first gluten free green bean casserole and it was amazing (now I just need to think of a topping, not sure if those French's onion things are gluten free)

Also, definitely trying that white goulash recipe this weekend, it's cold here and that sounds like a great fall/winter dish.

celiackitcat - try Funyons for a topping. Those french fried onions are not gluten free. I used the Funyons last year (my 1st gluten-free Thanksgiving) and no one knew the difference. :)

Can I be the first in line for one of your care packages? I cannot find that dang soup anywhere down here. :(

I have never seen Progresso mushroom soup on any store shelf. I didn't even know they made a mushroom soup until I found out recently online. I checked Progresso's website and they don't list any retailers anywhere in my area that carry it. :( I'm so sad.

I have, however, found about 4 different Progresso soups labeled Gluten Free recently. They do seem to have changed labeling recently. All the soups I've found labeled Gluten Free also show "No Added MSG" in a white banner across the top of the can. I don't have a major MSG problem but I try to avoid it on principle, so it caught my attention.

Just for the sake of killing time, I went through all the Progresso soups on the website and looked for the ones labeled Gluten Free. It would be nice if they'd just list them, but if you click on each soup one by one it shows the label information.

These are the ones that have LABELS that say Gluten Free, according to Progresso's website... today:

Traditional Split Pea and Ham

Traditional Chicken Rice with Vegetables

Traditional Manhattan Clam Chowder

Traditional Potato Broccoli & Cheese Chowder

Traditional Southwestern-Style Chicken

Traditional Chicken Cheese Enchilada Flavor

Traditional New England Clam Chowder

Traditional 99% Fat Free New England Clam Chowder

Reduced Sodium Garden Vegetable

Vegetable Classics Lentil

Vegetable Classics 99% Fat Free Lentil

Vegetable Classics Hearty Black Bean - Flavored with Bacon

Vegetable Classics Creamy Mushroom

Vegetable Classics Garden Vegetable

Rich & Hearty Chicken Corn Chowder

Rich & Hearty New England Clam Chowder

You have to be really really careful to check labels, though, because a lot of very similar-sounding soups have different recipes. The Vegetable Classics Green Split Pea Soup with Bacon, for example, contains barley flour -- while the Traditional Split Pea and Ham does not. Most of the Chicken and Rice or Wild Rice varieties are not marked Gluten Free, although most don't have obvious sources of gluten in the ingredients list, either.

Unfortunately, I can't find most of these soups around here. :( I need to write a letter to Santa and ask for some in my Christmas stocking.

      Welcome to the forum, @Hmart! There are other medical conditions besides celiac disease that can cause villous atrophy as well as some medications and for some people, the dairy protein casein. So, your question is a valid one. Especially in view of the fact that your antibody testing was negative, though there are also some seronegative celiacs. So...

      Is this celiac?

      The symptoms that led to my diagnosis were stomach pain, diarrhea, nausea, body/nerve tingling and burning and chills. It went away after about four days but led me to a gastro who did an upper endo and found I had marsh 3b. I did the blood test for celiac and it came back negative. I have gone gluten free. In week 1 I had a flare-up that was similar to...

My first ‘flare-up’ with these symptoms was in August and I was eating gluten like normal. I had another flare-up in September and then got an upper endo at the end of September that showed possible celiac. My blood test came a week later. While I didn’t stop eating gluten before I had the blood test, I had cut back on food and gluten both. I had a flare-up with this symptoms after one week of gluten free but wasn’t being crazy careful. Then I had another flare-up this week. I think it might have been caused by Trader Joe’s baked tofu which I didn’t realize had wheat. But I don’t know if these flare-ups are caused by gluten or if there’s something else going on. I am food journaling and tracking all symptoms. I have lost 7 pounds in the last 10 days.

So, your question is a valid one. Especially in view of the fact that your antibody testing was negative, though there are also some seronegative celiacs.

      I only went on the multi vitamin AFTER a couple of year of high dose, targeted supplementation resolved most of my deficiencies.  I was on quite a cocktail of vitamins that was changed every 6 months as my deficiencies resolved.  Those that were determined to be genetic are still addressed with specific doses of those vitamins, minerals and amino acids. I have an update on my husband and his A Fib.  He ended up in the hospital in August 2025 when his A Fib would not convert.  He took the maximum dose of Flecainide allowed within a 24 hour period.  It was a nightmare experience!  They took him into the ER immediately.  They put in a line, drew blood, did an EKG and chest Xray all within minutes.  Never saw another human for 6 hours.  Never got any results, but obviously we could see he was still in A fib by watching the monitor.  They have the family sign up for text alerts at the ER desk.  So glad I did.  That is the only way we found out that he was being admitted.  About an hour after that text someone came to take him to his room on an observation floor.  We were there two hours before we saw another human being and believe it or not that was by zoom on the TV in the room.  It was admissions wanting to know his vaccine status and confirming his insurance, which we provided at the ER desk.  They said someone would be in and finally a nurse arrived.  He was told a hospitalist was in charge of his case.  Finally the NP for the hospitalist showed up and my husband literally blew his stack.  He got so angry and yelled at this poor woman, but it was exactly what he needed to convert himself to sinus rhythm while she was there.  They got an EKG machine and confirmed it.  She told him that they wanted to keep him overnight and would do an echo in the morning and they were concerned about a wound on his leg and wanted to do a doppler to make sure he did not have a DVT.  He agreed.  The echo showed everything fine, just as it was at his annual check up in June and there was no DVT.  A cardiologist finally showed up to discharge him and after reviewing his history said the A Fib was due to the Amoxicillan prescribed for his leg wound.  It both triggers A Fib and prevents the Flecainide from working.  His conversion coincided with the last dose of antibiotic getting out of his system.  So, make sure your PCP understands what antibiotics you can or cannot take if susceptible to A Fib.  This cardiologist (not his regular) wanted him on Metoprolol 25 mg and Pradaxa.  My husband told him that his cardiologist axed the idea of a beta blocker because his heart rate is already low.  Sure enough, it dropped to 42 on the Metoprolol and my husband felt horrible.  The pradaxa gave him a full body rash!  He went back to his cardiologist for follow up and his BP was fine and heart rate in the mid 50's.  He also axed the Pradaxa since my husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation.   Oh and I forgot to say the hospital bill was over $26,000.  Houston Methodist!

      The symptoms that led to my diagnosis were stomach pain, diarrhea, nausea, body/nerve tingling and burning and chills. It went away after about four days but led me to a gastro who did an upper endo and found I had marsh 3b. I did the blood test for celiac and it came back negative.  I have gone gluten free. In week 1 I had a flare-up that was similar to my original symptoms. I got more careful/serious. Now at the end of week 2 I had another flare-up. These symptoms seem to get more intense. My questions:  1. How do I know if I have celiac and not something else? 2. Are these symptoms what others experience from gluten?  When I have a flare-up it’s completely debilitating. Can’t sleep, can’t eat, can’t move. Body just shakes. I have lost 10 pounds since going gluten free in the last two weeks.
