Ok, I just ate Campbell's Chicken and Rice soup, thought I was starting a mini panic attack, although it didn't really feel THAT extreme, took half a valium, now I have a dry mouth, extremely thirsty, dizzy, don't feel like getting up and walking and have a headache. I feel slightly glutened, not full blown, but glutened just the same.

I read the label before and after I ate it, nothing funny there....I read on this board the old posts about this soup. There is MSG in it, which I've never tolerated. maybe that's it. I can't believe how thirsty I am. It did have a lot of soy this-and-that stuff in it.

I have quit eating gluten, I've done really well on it, I find that a gluten free diet isn't so extreme and dramatic as it thought it was going to be. Except I drank regular beer last week and felt like crap for two days and now I have about 7 sores in my mouth and on my tongue.

My big sister has had a problem with depression forever. She takes antidepressants for 4-5 months, then goes, "I feel fine, I don't need to be taking these pills". Then she stops, then she gets depressed, then starts them again. I've always gotten so aggravated with her. I'm like, the evidence is RIGHT THERE, what's amatter with you?

That is EXACTLY what I'm doing with gluten. So, yeah, we shouldn't judge each other. I don't know when I'll EVER learn that lesson.

The good news is I am finally getting my teeth fixed. I'm getting 5 cut out (general surgery), then I'm getting these cool new flexible bridges that they make, (after 2-3 months of healing which means I'll have no back teeth for all that time, I don't care, it's worth it). And I'm getting my teeth bleached! I'm so happy about all this! The bleaching is $250 but I'm treating myself. I've always wanted to get my teeth bleached, so I am. It will feel so good to have a happy smile again. I never smile now, don't want no one to see my teeth.

So, yeah, that Campbells soup GOT me. I make the same thing at home cheap and easily.

Sorry for the ramblin!

Sorry you're feeling sick. I get those stupid canker sores if I eat gluten too.

Campbells doesn't claim their soups are gluten free and their broths used to list wheat protein. You probably got CC'd from all the noodle soups on their lines. You can get a list of their gluten-free stuff here.

Progresso has some really nice gluten-free soups. I love their clam chowder and lentil.

Good luck on the dental work! I hope it goes well.

Oh - and tell your big sister to try stopping gluten. Gluten intolerance/celiac is genetic and it can absolutely cause depression.

I agree, there is not one Campbell's soup that I would buy. Even thought it may not list wheat, barley could be an ingredient.

The Canadian Campbell's Gluten Free Listing is quite different from the US.

Unquenchable thirst is one of the main symptoms which lead me to figuring out gluten was bothering me. I didn't really notice anything else at the time. Since then however, I've realized that there were a lot more symptoms. Some I thought were just "normal" for me, and others I blamed on other things entirely.

I agree that your sister should try going gluten-free.

Connie,

No one is judging you for struggling with being gluten free. Everyone has to make up their own mind to follow this way of eating or to be sick. The "sickness" manifests itself in many different ways. I'm sorry you are having trouble coming to terms with this. I hope you have at least one friend or family member supporting you in your desire to eat gluten free. It sounds like your sister needs to be gluten free as well.

P.S. I wouldn't trust anything made by Campbell's. Even their cream of chicken soup has wheat in it. :blink:

Hi Connie! I think Sis should go gluten-free, too and see if it helps. Good luck with that! A project to work on after you get yourself sorted out. :P

I thought Campbell's soups were not gluten-free? The only ones I buy are bean with bacon and a couple of the vegetable ones. But I don't have a gluten problem. Daughter does. She doesn't eat them.

      Outgrow celiac?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      @Riley., Welcome to the forum.   It was once believed that Celiac Disease was only a childhood disease and it can be outgrown.  That was before 1951, before gluten was discovered to be cause of Celiac Disease, also called Infantilism.  Back then Cileac Disease was thought to be only a gastro intestinal disease, once you  "outgrew" the colicky phase, you were cured. You were so lucky to be diagnosed at 5 years old so your developing years were normal.  Gluten can affect multiple systems.  The nervous system, your intellegence. The muscules, skeleton. It can cause neurological issues like brain fog, anxiety, and peripheral neuropathy.  It can cause joint pain, muscle weakness, and skin rashes. Epilepsy is 1.8 times more prevalent in patients with celiac disease, compared to the general population. Because through malabsorption and food avoidances, it causes vitamin D and numerouus other essential nutrient deficiencies, it allows allergies, infections, poor growth, stuffy sinuses and eustacian tubes. There is even a catagory of celiac disease called "Silent Celiac".  Any symptoms are explained away as this, that or the other thing. Gluten is one of the most addictive substances we consume.  Activating the Opiod receptors in our cells, it can numb us to the damage that it, and other foods are causing.  It has become socially acceptable to eat foods that make us feel sick.  "There's a pill for that".   It is generally accepted that n fact you are weird if you don't. The hardest part is that if you don't eat gluten you will feel great and think why not.  But slowly it will effect you, you'll be diagnosed with real diseases that you don't have. You'll be more susseptable to other autoimmune diseases.  As you read through the posts here, notice how many are finally dianosed, after years of suffering at older ages.  Is it worth it? I think not. Perhaps this book will help:  Here is a list of possible symptoms:

      Outgrow celiac?

      By Riley. · Posted

      Hi! Im Riley, 18 years old and have been diagnosed for 13 years.. the testing started bc I stopped growing and didn’t gain any weight and was really small and thin for my age.  I got diagnosed when I was 5 and have been living gluten free since, in elementary and middle school it was hard for me and I kept contaminating myself bc I wanted to fit in with my friends so so badly. I ate gluten secretly at school and mostly regretted it 30 minutes later.  I’ve had symptoms like diarrhea, nausea, headaches, stomachaches, threw up a lot and was really emotional.  In 2022 I really started working on myself and tried to stay gluten free and if I did eat gluten I wouldn’t tell anyone and suffer in silence.  Last year in July I begged my mom to let me „cheat“ one day bc I just wanted to fit in… I ate a lot of different stuff, all the stuff I missed out on in my childhood like nuggets, pizza and all that.. I didn’t have symptoms that day and was doing really fine My mom and I wanted to test how far we can go and said we would test it for 12 weeks to get my blood taken after to see if I’m doing good or if symptoms start showing  As a now 18 year old girl who finally gained a normal weight and doesn’t get symptoms I’m to scared to get tested/my blood taken cuz I finally found comfort in food and it got so much easier for me and my family.  A year and 4 months later i still didn’t get any symptoms and have been eating gluten daily.  I’m scared to get tested/my blood taken cuz what if I’m actually not fine and have to go back to eating gluten free. Any tips to get over that fear and „suck it up“ cuz I know I could seriously damage my body… sorry if I seem like a idiot here… just don’t really know what to do :,)

      There is much helpful 'truth' posted on this forum. Truths about Celiac Disease are based on scientific research and people's experience. Celiac disease is inherited. There are 2 main Celiac 'genes' but they are variations of one gene called HLa - DQ What is inherited when a person inherits one or both of the DQ2 or the DQ8 is a predisposition to develop celiac disease after exposure to a environmental trigger. These 2 versions of the DQ gene are useful in diagnosing  celiac disease but there are about 25 other genes that are known to influence celiac disease so this food intolerance is a multigenic autoimmune disease. So with so many genes involved and each person inheriting a different array of these other genes one person's symptoms may be different than another's symptoms.  so many of these other genes.  I don't think that much research on these other genes as yet. So first I wrote something that seem to tie together celiac disease and migraines.  Then you posted that you had migraines and since you went gluten free they only come back when you are glutened. Then Scott showed an article that reported no connection between migraines and celiac disease, Then Trents wrote that it was possible that celiacs had more migraines  and some believed there was a causal effect. You are each telling the truth as you know it or experienced it.

      Aldi Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas

      By tiffanygosci · Posted

      Another annoying thing about trying to figure this Celiac life out is reading all of the labels and considering every choice. I shop at Aldi every week and have been for years. I was just officially diagnosed Celiac a couple weeks ago this October after my endoscopy. I've been encouraged by my local Aldi in that they have a lot of gluten free products and clearly labeled foods. I usually buy Milagro corn tortillas because they are cheap and are certified. However, I bought a package of Aldi's Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas without looking too closely (I was assuming they were fine... assuming never gets us anywhere good lol) it doesn't list any wheat products and doesn't say it was processed in a facility with wheat. It has a label that it's lactose free (hello, what?? When has dairy ever been in a tortilla?) Just, ugh. If they can add that label then why can't they just say something is gluten free or not? I did eat some of the tortillas and didn't notice any symptoms but I'm just not sure if it's safe. So I'll probably have to let my family eat them and stick with Milagro. There is way too much uncertainty with this but I guess you just have to stick with the clearly labeled products? I am still learning!

      Thank you all for sharing your experiences! And I am very thankful for that Thanksgiving article, Scott! I will look into it more as I plan my little dinner to bring with on the Holiday I'm also glad a lot of research has been done for Celiac. There's still a lot to learn and discover. And everyone has different symptoms. For me, I get a bad headache right away after eating gluten. Reoccurring migraines and visual disturbances were actually what got my PCP to order a Celiac Panel. I'm glad he did! I feel like when the inflammation hits my body it targets my head, gut, and lower back. I'm still figuring things out but that's what I've noticed after eating gluten! I have been eating gluten-free for almost two months now and haven't had such severe symptoms. I ate a couple accidents along the way but I'm doing a lot better
