The Good, The Bad And The Sister.

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.

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      The Happy Tart review

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      Nausea

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the forum. Is the nausea associated with eating certain foods, or anything else in particular?  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.
