Health Valley Soups?

Hi,

I was wondering if Health valley soups are gluten-free? I especially love their split pea soup.

Thanks,

This is from the Delphi List:

Health Valley Products -Wheat, oats, rye and barley will be listed on the label if they are present as an ingredient. They can’t guarantee against trace amounts because they also produce products containing those ingredients.

I use their broths. The split pea soup I like is by Amy's (often found in the same section of the store as HV) and it says right on the label GLUTEN FREE (ah, the words I love!)

I hope I'm posting correctly, this is my first time on this forum. The topic of Health Valley soups caught my eye. I have been on the gluten-free diet for about a year and a half now, but I'm starting to wonder if I'm doing it completely, so I'm on here trying to learn more. I have been eating the Health Valley Organic Vegetable Soup. There aren't any ingredients listed that should have gluten, and I've been able to eat it with no problems, so I thought I had a winner. But I ate it last night and was in the bathroom till 3 am with diarrhea. So I called the company today and the rep said that although there are no ingredients listed that should have gluten, it's not listed in their files as gluten-free because it's manufactured in a facility that also makes foods that contain gluten. So now I have to scratch that off my safe list.

I'm getting kind of discouraged. I saw the GI Dr. to find out why I'm still having a lot of symptoms, even though they are much better than before. I think it has to do with what I'm eating, but his first move was to put me on an anti-inflammatory medication. I'm pretty sure that it's related to what I'm eating and the medicine made me sick, so I'm not taking it. Besides, I want to find out what's causing the symptoms, not just mask them. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks a lot.

No... don't do that. Take your medication like a good boy or girl. Of course, ask your pharmacist if its Gluten Free. Medications, such as an anti-inflammitory don't mask problems, they help you heal. Healing is important. Medications heal.

Anyways. That aside. gluten-free can be hard or easy to do depending on what you eat. I just gave up for awhile and at mostly the same thing each night. Baked potatoe and chicken. I didn't start adding prepackaged for for quite some time. Its not much harder to make some "fresh" things than prepared soups or anything. I actually cook my lunch each night during making dinner. I just throw left overs in a bin and heat it up.

The Delphi List is 79 pages long and has foods and products. It's a great list. It does not have everything but it is quite extensive. In the product section celiac3270 posted about it a while ago and if you contact him he will send it to you. If you want to get to it yourself he gives instructions in that post.
