I use cream of celery/mushroom/chicken for a lot of my cooking. Not so much anymore as Campbells is not gluten free - from what I have read :(

Progresso has a creamy mushroom soup that is gluten free. I used it last week to make tuna noodle casserole (with gluten free corn pasta). Instead of adding a can of soup and a can of milk I just put in the can of Progresso Soup with no additional liquid (it is not as thick as Campbell's condensed) and followed the rest of the recipe as I always have. It tasted very good.

I just started using these. My daughter likes them better than Tinkyada. I usually buy Sams Mills brand online. The lasagne corte are similar in shape to egg noodles. Once (and only once) my daughter found them at Big Lots for 99cents for a one pound bag. I keep looking hoping they get them again at this price, but so far no luck :(

You can also make your own cream soup base and flavor it any way you like--

Gluten Free Cream Soup Base

modified from Bette Hagman's recipe

1 c. dry milk powder

1 c. white rice flour

2 Tbs. dehydrated minced onions

1/2 tsp. pepper

1/2 tsp. salt

Mix together. Store on the counter.

To make cream soup from the base, mix together:

1/4 c. base

1/4 c. cold water

Add:

1 c. hot chicken broth. Cook and stir over medium heat until thick and bubbling.

Campbell's makes me so mad, too!!! I miss the condensed cream soups (especially Cream of Mushroom) as they are used in so many recipes. I've tried Progresso Creamy Mushroom and while I like to eat it a lot, it hasn't worked as well in recipes as I'd like.

I emailed them last week inquiring about the Bean with Bacon as I didn't find any offending ingredients on the label. I have a recipe for Kielbasa Bean Soup using the Bean with Bacon as the base. I think it's a BH&G recipe dating from the 70's and is so yummy and also easy - tastes like homemade.

Here is their response. My comments specifically referred to the cream soups. I don't know why they have to use wheat in everything.

..... we received your message and appreciate your taking the time to contact Campbell Soup Company.

We are happy to share our Gluten Free list with you. Please visit Open Original Shared Link where you can download the most current gluten free list.

Campbell's primary concern is the safety of our consumers. Each of our soup recipes is hand crafted, which explains why some soups contain food starches and others do not. Many of our soups share manufacturing processes and equipment with gluten containing ingredients and products. For this reason, Campbell's has decided not to label gluten-free on soups where we could not ensure compliance with our strict gluten-free standards.

We have forwarded your comments on to the appropriate department. We appreciate feedback like yours because it helps us become aware of consumer preferences and concerns.

Thank you for visiting the Campbell Soup Company website. Campbell Soup Company Web Team

What could you use if you are avoiding dairy?

Rice/almond/soy milks.

I was dairy free for 5 years, for cream sauces I used Pacific rice milk.

How about almond milk and soy butter? Or whatever butter substitute you prefer.

Thanks. I was not sure if almond milk would work or not. I've been making my own and using it for smoothies, cereal and in baking. I recently used it in my pancake recipe and it was delish.

There is this brand of condensed soups I have found at HEB's called Tasty classics. It is a product from Canada. I think they have it as one of their generic soups. I find them on the bottom shelf. It is a light gray can. They are gluten-free. They aren't labeled gluten-free, but there is no gluten on the label. We use this brand and it always turns out wonderful!

It has MSG in it though :(

Ugh, Campbells. I took a big hit from that the first time my mom attempted to cook a gluten-free meal for me (she was careful with the big ingredients- no added flour, made sure rice was okay, etc) but never thought to check the soup label before she added it to the recipe as she wasn't expecting wheat flour in the tomato soup. Her mind has been totally blown by the amount of crap that is added to our food, now that she's learned to read all labels.

THANK YOU for the creamed soup base recipes! I just spent an hour looking thru an awesome crockpot cooking list and every other recipe used a Campbells soup! Now, I can consider trying the recipes!!

I'm dairy and soy free as well as gluten free and make a home made tuna noodle casserole that is super yummy.

I make a roux of gluten-free flour (Bob's Red Mill) and light olive oil.

Then add hemp milk or coconut milk (So Delicious makes a coconut milk that is not coconut-y in flavor)

I use Tinkyada pasta but the trick is to undercook it. This way it's not mushy in the casserole.

I add tuna, mushrooms, peas and pimentos and season to taste.

Plop it all into a baking dish and top with gluten-free bread crumbs (I save the ends from my home baked loaves and freeze them for making bread crumbs)

I have also used potato chips (is that so 1972 or what?)

It comes out awesome.

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      I refused to do the gluten challenge for a long time because I knew how sick I would be: I have always had and still have positive antibodies and have so many symptoms my GI was 💯 sure I would have a positive biopsy. I didn’t want to make myself sick to get a negative biopsy and be more confused by all this. He couldn’t guarantee me a negative biopsy meant ...

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      It's completely understandable to struggle with the gluten challenge, especially when it impacts your health and studies so significantly. Your experience of feeling dramatically better without gluten is a powerful clue, whether it points to celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. It's very wise of you and your doctor to pause the challenge until...

      Stomach hurts with movement

      It's smart that you're seeing the gastroenterologist tomorrow. While it's possible this is a severe and persistent inflammatory reaction to gluten, the fact that the pain is movement-dependent and localized with tenderness is important for your specialist to hear. It could indeed be significant inflammation, but it's also worth ruling out other overlapping...

      Hello, I'm back with a second post. The first time I wrote, I mentioned the possibility that my symptoms were related to gluten. I did a genetic test in which I resulted to have the predisposition, but the results of my blood test were all negative without IgA deficiency.

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      I refused to do the gluten challenge for a long time because I knew how sick I would be: I have always had and still have positive antibodies and have so many symptoms my  GI was 💯 sure I would have a positive biopsy. I didn’t want to make myself sick to get a negative biopsy and be more confused by all this.  He couldn’t guarantee me a negative biopsy meant no celiac bc there may not be damage yet or it’s possible to miss biopsies where there’s damage but he was so sure and convinced me I needed that biopsy I went back on gluten. It was a terrible experience! I took pictures of the bloating and swelling and weight gain during the challenge. I gained 9 pounds, looked pregnant, was in pain , couldn’t work or function without long naps and the brain fog was debilitating. And in the end he didn’t get a positive biopsy… so I wish I had never wasted my time or health going through it. I haven’t been truly straightened  out since and I am currently battling a shingles infection at 43 and I can’t help but wonder if the stress I put my body under to try and get an official diagnosis has caused all this. Best of luck to you - whatever you decide. It’s not a fun thing to go through and I still don’t have the answers I was looking for

      It's completely understandable to struggle with the gluten challenge, especially when it impacts your health and studies so significantly. Your experience of feeling dramatically better without gluten is a powerful clue, whether it points to celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. It's very wise of you and your doctor to pause the challenge until your holidays, prioritizing your immediate well-being and exams. To answer your questions, yes, it is possible for blood tests to be negative initially and become positive later as the disease progresses, which is why the biopsy remains the gold standard. Many, many people find the gluten challenge incredibly difficult due to the return of debilitating symptoms, so you are certainly not alone in that struggle. Wishing you the best for your exams and for obtaining clearer answers when you're able to proceed.

      It's smart that you're seeing the gastroenterologist tomorrow. While it's possible this is a severe and persistent inflammatory reaction to gluten, the fact that the pain is movement-dependent and localized with tenderness is important for your specialist to hear. It could indeed be significant inflammation, but it's also worth ruling out other overlapping issues that can affect those with celiac disease. Is it possible you got some gluten in your diet somehow? This could be a possible trigger. Hopefully, tomorrow's appointment will provide clearer answers and a path to relief so you can get back to your lectures and enjoy your weekend. Wishing you all the best for the consultation.

      Hello, I'm back with a second post. The first time I wrote, I mentioned the possibility that my symptoms were related to gluten. I did a genetic test in which I resulted to have the predisposition, but the results of my blood test were all negative without IgA deficiency. My doctor suggested that it was necessary to do a biopsy to rule out Celiac Disease. However, he said, because of my family history and my symptoms were strongly related to gluten, it was very possible that my Celiac Disease is developing and my antibodies may become positive in the future.  I tried to continue the gluten challenge for the biopsy, around 2-3 g of gluten per day, but it was enough to make me feel worse each passing day. I started developing anemia and other mild nutritional deficiencies, and it was really affecting my daily life. I'm a student and exams are coming up, so my doctor suggests me to strictly remove gluten until I feel better so I could study without problems until I could do the gluten challenge when I come back home for holidays. Since going gluten free, I feel like a completely different person. My mind is clearer, I have no stomach pain during the day, and even my nails improved within just two weeks. It could also be Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, but of course I’ll need the biopsy to know for sure. I was wondering, has anyone else had negative blood tests at first and later tested positive? And has anyone struggled with the gluten challenge because of symptoms?
