Noticed recently that Progresso is actually labeling their soups Gluten Free. Creamy Mushroom is one of them. However, today I received an email from Ceceliasmarketplace saying that this soup is NOT gluten free. Does anyone know if it truly is? Sure is good for those green been casseroles.

I've used 3 cans of it now and have not had any reactions.

I've actually cooked liver in it and made a shephards pie too. I've had to add a bit of Bob's flour to thicken it as liquids from any other source thin it out.

I truly have not had any reactions from the sales in Michigan.

Wow.. good to know since I have several recipes that rely on cream of mushroom soup that I thought I was done with. :D

Not all Progresso soups are gluten free but the ones I have tried have been great! I just look for the gluten-free ones and try to buy as many as I can just to support their effort. Haven't seen the creamy mushroom in my area yet (Grass Valley, CA) but I'm on the lookout for it. I used the corn chowder one in the green bean casserole and it was pretty good :)

They have now removed the gluten free labeling, and are no longer saying that their regular soups, including cream of mushroom soup, are gluten free. I just got an update for my supermarket guide(Cecilia's) and they have said to remove most of progresso's soups that have the new labels.

This is incorrect. I just received an email from Progresso. Here is their reply. In other words, if the can says "Gluten Free" it is. The lists on the internet are not always up to date.

[i]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 For that reason, we do not distribute product information lists as they could quickly become outdated

I'm not sure about Creamy Mushroom but, Progresso Rich and Hearty Chicken Corn Chowder, Progresso Vegetable Classics Garden Vegetable, Progresso Classics Lentil, and Progresso Vegetable Classics French Onion Soup they are ALL gluten-free. It states this on the back of the can under the words Dist. By Progresso Foods Division, General Mills Cereals. I especially like the Vegetable Classics Garden Vegetable. I add chicken, ham, or beef, after I cook them separately and add them to the soup after it has been microwaved. This is one of the meals I make when I don't feel like cooking for the rest of the family. I usually send them out to a restaurant. It doesn't take much effort. Sometimes I just have soup and sandwich. It's very simple and easy. I hope you find these suggestions helpful. Remember to always read the label. Make sure the can of Progresso you buy does in deed say gluten-free.

General Mills has released a website that lists specific Gluten Free products. It clearly states that Gluten Free will be on the label.

This list was updated Recently, and several of Progresso's soups have been removed. Including the Creamy Mushroom.

I know this is confusing, however, the Mushroom Soup IS Gluten Free, As stated on the back of the can. The email I received from Progresso (Mentioned in the above topics), states that the listings on websites are not always accurate. YOU MUST READ THE BACK OF THE CAN. If it states GLUTEN FREE, it is.

From Progresso - email this week:

Has anyone considered the possibility that there are going to be both gluten free and gluten filled versions of this soup floating around? The way this is reading to me is that they're redoing the recipe to have gluten in it, or it's been moved to another factory that doesn't have dedicated lines. The cans that are out there have gluten-free on the back; therefore, they're gluten free. (Not actually that easy, as we all know, but I'm fairly braindead today so I'm using simplified terms today.)

But if the recipe has been pulled from the website recently (which assumes that it was on the website to begin with), then it's possible that something has changed and newer batches won't be gluten free.

I just had this happen with one of my favorite chocolate bars being dairy free--for years, there were three flavors I could eat. Then, about a month and a half ago, the ingredients changed on one of them because they'd shifted production lines.

Looking at the ingredients of creamy mushroom, see this website Open Original Shared Link i see it has modified food starch as an ingredient see Open Original Shared Link . Look at Open Original Shared Link and you will see wheat listed. I stay away from anything that lists modified food starch as an ingredient. My motto is: IF I CAN'T MAKE IT; I DON'T EAT IT!

In the US if the modified food starch is from wheat it it is required by the FDA to state that it is.

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this...

      @lizzie42, You're being a good mom, seeking answers for your son.  Cheers! Subclinical thiamine deficiency commonly occurs with anemia.  An outright Thiamine deficiency can be precipitated by the consumption of a high carbohydrate meal.   Symptoms of Thiamine deficiency include feeling shakey or wobbly in the legs, muscle weakness or cramps, as well as aggression and irritability, confusion, mood swings and behavior changes.  Thiamine is essential to the production of neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine which keep us calm and rational.   @Jsingh, histamine intolerance is also a symptom of Thiamine deficiency.  Thiamine is needed to prevent mast cells from releasing histamine at the slightest provocation as is seen in histamine intolerance.  Thiamine and the other B vitamins and Vitamin C are needed to clear histamine from the body.  Without sufficient thiamine and other B vitamins to clear it, the histamine builds up.  High histamine levels can change behavior, too.  High histamine levels are found in the brains of patients with schizophrenia.  Thiamine deficiency can also cause extreme hunger or conversely anorexia.   High carbohydrate meals can precipitate thiamine deficiency because additional thiamine is required to process carbohydrates for the body to use as fuel.  The more carbohydrates one eats daily, the more one needs additional thiamine above the RDA.  Thiamine is water soluble, safe and nontoxic even in high doses. Keep in mind that gluten-free processed foods like cookies and such are not required to be fortified and enriched with vitamins and minerals like their gluten containing counterparts are.  Limit processed gluten-free foods.  They are often full of empty calories and unhealthy saturated fats and additives, and are high in histamine or histamine release triggers.  It's time you bought your own vitamins to supplement what is not being absorbed due to malabsorption of Celiac disease.  Benfotiamine is a form of Thiamine that has been shown to improve intestinal health as well as brain function. Do talk to your doctors and dieticians about supplementing with the essential vitamins and minerals while your children are growing up gluten free.  Serve nutritionally dense foods.  Meats and liver are great sources of B vitamins and minerals. Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your progress!

While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      By trents · Posted

      Currently, there are no tests for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out and we do have testing for celiac disease. There are two primary test modalities for diagnosing celiac disease. One involves checking for antibodies in the blood. For the person with celiac disease, when gluten is ingested, it produces an autoimmune response in the lining of the small bowel which generates specific kinds of antibodies. Some people are IGA deficient and such that the IGA antibody tests done for celiac disease will have skewed results and cannot be trusted. In that case, there are IGG tests that can be ordered though, they aren't quite as specific for celiac disease as the IGA tests. But the possibility of IGA deficiency is why a "total IGA" test should always be ordered along with the TTG-IGA. The other modality is an endoscopy (scoping of the upper GI track) with a biopsy of the small bowel lining. The aforementioned autoimmune response produces inflammation in the small bowel lining which, over time, damages the structure of the lining. The biopsy is sent to a lab and microscopically analyzed for signs of this damage. If the damage is severe enough, it can often be spotted during the scoping itself. The endoscopy/biopsy is used as confirmation when the antibody results are positive, since there is a small chance that elevated antibody test scores can be caused by things other than celiac disease, particularly when the antibody test numbers are not particularly high. If the antibody test numbers are 10x normal or higher, physicians will sometimes declare an official diagnosis of celiac disease without an endoscopy/biopsy, particularly in the U.K. Some practitioners use stool tests to detect celiac disease but this modality is not widely recognized in the medical community as valid. Both celiac testing modalities outlined above require that you have been consuming generous amounts of gluten for weeks/months ahead of time. Many people make the mistake of experimenting with the gluten free diet or even reducing their gluten intake prior to testing. By doing so, they invalidate the testing because antibodies stop being produced, disappear from the blood and the lining of the small bowel begins to heal. So, then they are stuck in no man's land, wondering if they have celiac disease or NCGS. To resume gluten consumption, i.e., to undertake a "gluten challenge" is out of the question because their reaction to gluten is so strong that it would endanger their health. The lining of the small bowel is the place where all of the nutrition in the food we consume is absorbed. This lining is made up of billions of microscopically tiny fingerlike projections that create a tremendous nutrient absorption surface area. The inflammation caused by celiac disease wears down these fingers and greatly reduces the surface area needed for nutrient absorption. Thus, people with celiac disease often develop iron deficiency anemia and a host of other vitamin and mineral deficiencies. It is likely that many more people who have issues with gluten suffer from NCGS than from celiac disease. We actually know much more about the mechanism of celiac disease than we do about NCGS but some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease.
