Hi,

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

Thanks,

Traci

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.

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified Gluten" in any given batch run. It just means there could be.

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      Are Bobresmill gluten free oats ok for sensitive celiacs?
    • jenniber
      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease does damage to the small bowel lining it often results in nutritional deficiencies such as anemia. NCGS does not damage the small bowel lining so your history of anemia may suggest you have celiac disease as opposed to NCGS. But either way, a gluten-free diet is in order. NCGS can cause bodily damage in other ways, particularly to neurological systems.
