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 For that reason, we do not distribute product information lists as they could quickly become outdated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

      Newly diagnosed mam to coeliac 11 year old

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celic.com community @Dizzyma! I'm assuming you are in the U.K. since you speak of your daughter's celiac disease blood tests as "her bloods".  Has her physician officially diagnosed her has having celiac disease on the results of her blood tests alone? Normally, if the ttg-iga blood test results are positive, a follow-up endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining to check for damage would be ordered to confirm the results of "the bloods". However if the ttg-iga test score is 10x normal or greater, some physicians, particularly in the U.K., will dispense with the endoscopy/biopsy. If there is to be an endoscopy/biopsy, your daughter should not yet begin the gluten free diet as doing so would allow healing of the small bowel lining to commence which may result in a biopsy finding having results that conflict with the blood work. Do you know if an endoscopy/biopsy is planned? Celiac disease can have onset at any stage of life, from infancy to old age. It has a genetic base but the genes remain dormant until and unless triggered by some stress event. The stress event can be many things but it is often a viral infection. About 40% of the general population have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. So, for most, the genes remain dormant.  Celiac disease is by nature an autoimmune disorder. That is to say, gluten ingestion triggers an immune response that causes the body to attack its own tissues. In this case, the attack happens in he lining of the small bowel, at least classically, though we now know there are other body systems that can sometimes be affected. So, for a person with celiac disease, when they ingest gluten, the body sends attacking cells to battle the gluten which causes inflammation as the gluten is being absorbed into the cells that make up the lining of the small bowel. This causes damage to the cells and over time, wears them down. This lining is composed of billions of tiny finger-like projections and which creates a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients from the food we eat. This area of the intestinal track is where all of our nutrition is absorbed. As these finger-like projections get worn down by the constant inflammation from continued gluten consumption before diagnosis (or after diagnosis in the case of those who are noncompliant) the efficiency of nutrient absorption from what we eat can be drastically reduced. This is why iron deficiency anemia and other nutrient deficiency related medical problems are so common in the celiac population. So, to answer your question about the wisdom of allowing your daughter to consume gluten on a limited basis to retain some tolerance to it, that would not be a sound approach because it would prevent healing of the lining of her small bowel. It would keep the fires of inflammation smoldering. The only wise course is strict adherence to a gluten free diet, once all tests to confirm celiac disease are complete.

      Hi all, I have so many questions and feel like google is giving me very different information. Hoping I may get some more definite answers here. ok, my daughter has been diagnosed as a coeliac as her bloods show anti TTG antibodies are over 128. We have started her  on a full gluten free diet. my concerns are that she wasn’t actually physically sick on her regular diet, she had tummy issues and skin sores. My fear is that she will build up a complete intolerance to gluten and become physically sick if she has gluten. Is there anything to be said for keeping a small bit of gluten in the diet to stop her from developing a total intolerance?  also, she would be an anxious type of person, is it possible that stress is the reason she has become coeliac? I read that diagnosis later in childhood could be following a sickness or stress. How can she have been fine for the first 10 years and then become coeliac? sorry, I’m just very confused and really want to do right by her. I know a coeliac and she has a terrible time after she gets gluttened so just want to make sure going down a total gluten free road is the right choice. thank you for any help or advise xx

      Severe severe mouth pain

      By Russ H · Posted

      Hi Charlie, You sound like you have been having a rough time of it. Coeliac disease can cause a multitude of skin, mouth and throat problems. Mouth ulcers and enamel defects are well known but other oral conditions are also more common in people with coeliac disease: burning tongue, inflamed and swollen tongue, difficulty swallowing, redness and crusting in the mouth corners, and dry mouth to name but some. The link below is for paediatric dentistry but it applies to adults too.  Have you had follow up for you coeliac disease to check that your anti-tTG2 antibodies levels have come down? Are you certain that you not being exposed to significant amounts of gluten? Are you taking a PPI for your Barrett's oesophagus? Signs of changes to the tongue can be caused by nutritional deficiencies, particularly iron, B12 and B9 (folate) deficiency. I would make sure to take a good quality multivitamin every day and make sure to take it with vitamin C containing food - orange juice, broccoli, cabbage etc.  Sebaceous hyperplasia is common in older men and I can't find a link to coeliac disease.   Russ.   Oral Manifestations in Pediatric Patients with Coeliac Disease – A Review Article
