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.

Kitchen basics at the grocery says gluten-free right on it. No soylent green! Lower sodium then the ones marked low sodium.

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...)

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
