If chicken noodle soup is made with regular egg noodles, can the gluten in the noodles leach into the broth?

Welcome to the board. Read as much here as you can and ask any questions you needed.

The broth from soup with a gluten ingredient is not something we can safely eat. We also can't take a bun off a burger or the toppings off a pizza. It is also unsafe to use the same butter, nut butters, jellies or any other condiment that gluten eaters have used as the item can be cross contaminated. It only takes a very small amount of gluten, 20 PPM to start the antibody reaction and make us sick.

Really? What do you think?

Let's see, we got noodles made with wheat flour. They get mushy, little bits you can barely see break off, if the noodles sit long enough they start breakig apart....

YES! There is gluten in the broth!

If your food touches the gluten item, you must assume some of it came off on your food. That means you can't pick the hamburger off the bun, Eat the cheese off the top of the pizza or peel the floury coating off the fried chicken. Use your common sense.

Looks like Raven & I posted at the same time.

yes you cannot just take out the noodles.

A scenario like this can happen in restaurants where they sometimes use the broth in some other dishes...or cook gluten-free pasta in the broth from gluten pasta.

I think it's a fair question from someone who is new to this.

With most diets you CAN just pick stuff off and be fine. Unless you've had experience with cooking for someone with gluten issues, it's hard to understand what cross-contamination really means.

One way to visualize this is to think back when you boil spaghetti. The water is cloudy when it's done cooking. That is the flour and other ingredients that have dissolved off the noodles. I wish it were that easy but unfortunately it isn't.

Sorry! I didn't mean to sound so snippy! If I had said it out loud with facial expressions I would have gotten a laugh and a " Right Mom!"

I basically meant to think about it and use some common sense. Like when the kids ask me something they should be able to figure out. With the gluten-free diet, common sense is important.

I feel about people on here like I do my kids....I want them to be capable gluten-free grown-ups living happy and healthy in the world. :)

Unfortunately, anything that touches a food with gluten is a problem. You can't have the broth from noodle soup, you can't pick the toppings off pizza, you can't eat the inside of a sandwich, and you can't pick the croutons off a salad. Even what seems like ridiculously small amounts of gluten will keep your celiac disease active.

Think of how tiny bacteria and viruses are, yet our immune systems find them easily. The same is true of gluten.

Skylark, that's a great way to drive the message home and something that we can use to tell our family and friends when they suggest "a little won't hurt" or "surely you don't need a separate toaster"...

It is also unsafe to use a toaster that has been used for wheat bread. Cutting boards and other wooden utensils also cannot be safely cleaned. Same for cast iron pans, scratched non-stick cooking surfaces, and anything with crevices or porous surfaces.

As was stated, browse the board and read as much as you can. And welcome!

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
