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.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      My question I have proposed to the FDA through their website is why Prescription and OTC drug manufacturers are not required to list what binding ingredients were used to bine the drug? They list this on Capsules which are made of cellulose but not on pills? As it stands I or my pharmacist must contact the manufacturer to find out and my list is long from...

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!
