Unsure Whether This Had Gluten In It Or Not

Im from the uk and on sunday I had a roast beef joint from Marks and Spencers (I no longer have the packaging), it said it was a roast beef joint with roast beef stock and Im not too sure if it was also listed to have a small amount of mustard in it. Now yesterday I felt quite sick again, have not felt like that since going gluten free. I even had to have some ginger to make me feel better. I cant see anything else that Ive eaten that could make me feel that way. Is beef stock gluten free or does it contain gluten. I know I should have been more careful. I have a feeling this is what made me feel ill yesterday.

Does anyone know about beef stock and the mustard?

Thanks

Just found the packaging there is no mustard and it doesnt list anything that would suggest gluten apart from the roast beef stock, which I dont know if it has gluten

If you found the packaging can you call the company and ask?

A lot of our cubed stocks here in Canada have gluten as it's a binding agent. I'd give the company a call if you haven't already.

unless you find the one or 2 brands that make it gluten free ( i think Pacific makes some gluten-free)... most stocks.. beef, chicken... will definitely have GLUTEN in them gROSS :angry:

I just checked my carton of Pacific Free Range Low Sodium Chicken Broth and didn't see any soy on the ingredient list. This is one of the few "prepared" foods that I eat regularly.

Yea that's the brand I go for also. But I must admit I do miss bullion cubes and the chicken base that I used to use which was basically powdered bullion. Nothing like a hot cup of chicken bullion with crackers after a hour of shoveling snow or when the sniffles strike.

If you are interested, I found at my local store Savory Choice liquid broth concentrate. They had beef and chicken. I got the chicken and really like it. It says gluten free and no msg. Ingredients: chicken stock, natural flavor, salt, chicken fat, sugar, maltodextrin, yeast extract and xanthan gum. It makes 4 cups per pouch. 4 pouches per package.

I use the Swanson beef broth. It is gluten-free and delicous. I keep cans at work and warm them up for an afternoon snack.

On the contrary, the vast majority of broths, at least the ones you find in the grocery store in the U.S., are gluten-free these days. Not all, but most. I don't know about soy, though. And in the U.S. when you find broth listed as part of a meat, it's usually just what is says -- IOW, vegetable broth is made from vegetables and little or nothing else.

I am inclined to disagree there Richard, I have found quite a number of stocks that are not gluten-free. Anyway back to original question... I have noticed that for some reason beef stock has a higher rate of having items I cant eat, like MSG and Gluten than say chicken broth, so I would say that it is highly likely there was some in your beef stuff... But like other people said, if you can look up the company number and call them it would be good to be certain. (and yeah I LOVE Pacific broths...)

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hi, @Ginger38, I've had shingles in the past.  I understand how miserable you're feeling.   Not only do i have the chickenpox virus lurking about, I also have the cold sore virus that occasionally flares with a huge cold sore on my lip when stressed or exposed to gluten.  The virus lives dormant in the nerves on the left side of my face.  It causes Bell's Palsy (resulting in drooling).  The cold sore virus is also in my eye.  My eye swells up and my vision is diminished permanently whenever I have a flare, so it's of the utmost importance to keep flares away and treat them immediately if they do happen so I don't lose any more vision.   I take the amino acid supplement L-Lysine.  Lysine messes with the replication of viruses, which helps the body fight them off.   I haven't had an outbreak for several years until this year when exceptionally stressed and contaminated, it flared up again. Lysine has been shown to be beneficial in suppression of viruses like the cold sore virus (a herpetic virus), the chickenpox virus (also a herpetic virus), as well as the HIV virus, and even the Covid virus.   I also take additional Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) because Thiamine has antiviral properties as well.   For pain, a combination of Thiamine (like TTFD or Benfotiamine or Thiamine Hydrochloride), with B12 Cobalamine, and Pyridoxine B6 have been shown to have analgesic properties which relieve pain and neuropathy.    The combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and Cobalamine B12 really does work to relieve pain.  I take it for back pain from crushed vertebrae in my back.  This combination also works on other pain and neuropathy.   I usually buy a supplement that combines all three and also Riboflavin B2 called EXPLUS online.  However, it's made in Japan and the price with the tariffs added makes it really expensive now.  But the combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and B12 Cobalamine (and Riboflavin B2) still work even if taken separately.   I can't take Tylenol or ibuprofen because of stomach upsets.  But I can take the vitamin combination without side effects.  However, you can take the three vitamins at the same time as other pain relievers for added benefit.  The vitamins help other pain relievers work better. I hope you will try it.  Hopeful you'll feel better quickly.

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.
