Meijer Organic Broth

Does anyone know if Meijer's Organic vegetable & chicken broths are gluten-free? They look like they should be but I'm still so new at this that I don't trust myself to make a judgment call. There is no phone number on the package to contact Meijer, although I suppose I could try to find one on their website. Just seeing if anyone knew about this or had any experience with it. Still trying to decide what I can save & what needs to be thrown out :(

I downloaded the list which is super helpful because I do a lot of shopping at Meijer. Their normal Meijer brand (non organic) is listed as gluten-free but organic is not on the list. I can't see why the normal lesser quality one would be gluten-free and the organic would be not but as I said, I'm just not sure yet. This is all still new to me.

I can't say why but I have noticed more organic companies add wheat to things that don't need it. That said IF wheat is an ingredient it has to be listed by law. The only risk would be rye or barley hidden in "natural flavors". I've never seen rye but sprouted barley water sometimes is used in organic products. It may also not be on the list if it is made on the same lines as gluten products and they don't want to guarentee it. It may not have any gluten added but just isn't processed in a gluten-free environment so they don't want ot list it. If you can list the ingredients we could tell you if there's any risk of hidden gluten.

I don't see anything in either of those ingredient lists that would be a gluten concern.

FWIW, until a few years ago, Heinz regular ketchup was gluten-free, but the organic one had gluten. I think it was in the form of malt vinegar from organic barley.

That's interesting. It would seem to me that organic should be gluten-free but I guess that's not always the case. I learn something new every day with this disease and lifestyle. Thanks for your help with this Peter. I'll give the broth a try and see how it goes.

Oops I didn't see this post before. I agree with Peter that these look safe. The only thing I would suspect is the filtered water just because organic companies seem to like to use barley in their "filtered water". It's up to you what you do. I would either try them and see how I feel or give them away. For the future if you like to buy organic my favorite brand that is gluten-free is Pacific Naturals. Most of the time I make my own however since it's very easy to do.

I agree, nothing like making your own broths & soups!! I wanted to give these a try instead of throwing these away. I'm using one in a recipe tonight and if I'm feeling bad, I'll give the other one to my parents or the food pantry. Thanks!!

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If your tTg-IgA was 28 and positive is at 3, you are nearly 10x over the positive marker, so the most likely explanation by far would be celiac disease. I also do not understand why your doctor would not want to run the blood test, which is the normal first step in the diagnosis process.

      Is there a digestive enzyme that helps build a healthier gut? I see people taking them but not sure what really works

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      By trents · Posted

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped". Your Serum IGA 01 (aka, "total IGA") at 245 mg/dl is within normal range, indicating you are not IGA deficient. But I also think it would be wise to take your doctor's advice about the sucraid diet and avoiding dairy . . . at least until you experience healing and your gut has had a chance to heal, which can take around two years. After that, you can experiment with adding dairy back in and monitor symptoms. By the way, if you want the protein afforded by dairy but need to avoid casein, you can do so with whey protein powder. Whey is the other major protein in dairy.

      hi, i want to say thank you to you and @trents   . after 2 phone calls to my GI, her office called me back to tell me that a blood test was “unnecessary” and that we should “follow the gold standard” and since my biopsy did not indicate celiac, to follow the no dairy and sucraid diet. i luckily have expendable income and made an appt for the labcorp blood test that day. i just got my results back and it indicates celiac disease i think 😭   im honestly happy bc now i KNOW and i can go gluten free. and i am SO MAD at this doctor for dismissing me for a simple blood test that wouldn’t have cost her anything !!!!!!!!!!! im sorry, im so emotional right now, i have been sick my whole life and never knew why, i feel so much better already   my results from labcorp:   Celiac Ab tTG TIgA w/Rflx Test Current Result and Flag Previous Result and Date Units Reference Interval t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 01 28 High U/mL 0-3 Negative 0 - 3 Weak Positive 4 - 10 Positive >10 Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten sensitive enteropathy. Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 01 245 mg/dL 87-352
