Gluten Leaching From Egg Noodles Into Broth?

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!

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      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...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      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...

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      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...

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.

      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.
