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 For that reason, we do not distribute product information lists as they could quickly become outdated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

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Navigating medication safety with Celiac disease can be incredibly stressful, especially when dealing with asthma and severe allergies on top of it. While I don't have personal experience with the HealthA2Z brand of cetirizine, your caution is absolutely warranted. The inactive ingredients in pills, known as excipients, are often where gluten can be hidden, and since the FDA does not require gluten-free labeling for prescription or over-the-counter drugs, the manufacturer's word is essential. The fact that you cannot get a clear answer from Allegiant Health is a significant red flag; a company that is confident its product is gluten-free will typically have a customer service protocol to answer that exact question. In situations like this, the safest course of action is to consider this product "guilty until proven innocent" and avoid it. A better alternative would be to ask your pharmacist or doctor to help you identify a major national brand of cetirizine (like Zyrtec) whose manufacturer has a verified, publicly stated gluten-free policy for that specific medication. It's not worth the risk to your health when reliable, verifiable options are almost certainly available to you. You can search this site for USA prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      Protein or fat?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you're describing is indeed familiar to many in the Celiac community, especially in the early stages of healing. When the intestinal villi are damaged from Celiac disease, they struggle to properly digest and absorb fats, a condition known as bile acid malabsorption. This can cause exactly the kind of cramping and spasms you're seeing, as undigested fats can irritate the sensitive gut lining. It is highly plausible that her reactions to dairy and eggs are linked to their higher fat content rather than the proteins, especially since she tolerates lean chicken breast. The great news is that for many, this does improve with time. As her gut continues to heal on a strict gluten-free diet, her ability to produce the necessary enzymes and bile to break down fats should gradually return, allowing her to slowly tolerate a wider variety of foods. It's a slow process of healing, but your careful approach of focusing on low-fat, nutrient-dense foods like seeds and avocado is providing her system the best possible environment to recover. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: Thank you for sharing your story—it's a valuable insight for other parents navigating similar challenges.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.
