Can You Recommend Some Safe Canned Products?

I'm starting my new job Monday and am preparing a pantry so I'm never starved. I need some recommendations of canned foods (soups would be wonderful) that are gluten-free, Casein Free, Egg free and MSG Free. I've got a whole list of mug meals I can make, but it would be nice to have some I can buy right off the shelf. I'm longing for the old days of only having to find an MSG free brand. I'm also planning lots of leftovers and fruit. I'm just thinking ahead and of the huge volume of food I eat every day. I heard something about Progresso, but I don't remember much about what I heard.

Oh, and ham. I want to cook scalloped potatoes and ham. Does gluten-free ham exist?

I don't know about eggs and MSG but I eat CF and gluten-free and buy the Healthy Choice chicken and rice soup, you should check the Amy's brand too, some of them are CF. Some of the ones that come in cartons like Pacific and Imagine have CF "creamy soups like butternut squash, corn, roasted red pepper etc.

I would suggest the Hormel web site. They have a some gluten free stuff. Some is shelf stable like Dinty Moore Beef stew, and some is in the refrigerated section like the Italian Pot Roast.

The Hormel Natural Choice hams are gluten free, and it's even on the label. Also Boars Head deli meats (you could just have it sliced thick for your purpose) have it printed right on the front of the package, and I think all are OK.

Canned soups, Progresso has quite a few that are safe. At least, that are gluten free - you'll have to read them for the rest of the things you are trying to avoid. They have good labeling and if there's wheat, or flour, barley, milk, etc., it is in bold letters on their labels.

Health Valley Organics split pea is gluten-free.

If you have a Vitamin Cottage near you, they have gluten free food list at their customer service desk that they'll give you to pick products they stock. Whole Foods also has gluten free grocery list online, by location.

Oh, so much better than I was even dreaming. Keep em coming. I would almost seem normal to my coworkers my first week on the job if I opened up a can of chicken and rice soup and microwaved it. Well, normal except for the fact that I'll be asking for powder free gloves and treating the patient's crackers like a nuclear bomb.

Orgran makes a canned pasta that fits your description. You can get it online and I've seen it at some health food stores. It's quite sweet, so if you like Spaghettios, you'll like it.

Shelton's makes a chicken and wild rice soup and a chicken chili that are good.

Amy's makes some soups that fit your parameters. I no longer have any in the house because of daughter's pea and lentil allergies. I believe they also make a chili.

Hormel makes chili, beef stew and tamales that are good.

My daughter likes these chicken breasts.

Be sure to get only this flavor because the others contain cheese or other allergens. I serve them with a pouch of precooked rice from Trader Joe's or other places.

Most plain canned beans and other vegetables are fine. We like to get the little ones with pop tops. Just drain and eat out of the can, or nuke if you have a microwave.

Bush's baked beans are fine. Beware of chili beans. Most have gluten.

In a pinch, you can get a can of refried beans (all that I've seen are safe, but some have soy) or a can of Fritos bean dip and eat with corn chips. We usually buy Bearitos or some with Lame Advertisement seeds from the health food store, but sometimes we get Fritos. I know some people have problems with the Lays products, but we have not.

You can also get meals here:

Not all of them fit your parameters, but several do. They are kind of small though. If I send one in my daughter's lunch, I always have to add some fruit and vegetables.

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Rejoicephd, So glad you checked your multivitamin! I like Life Extension brand.  Their BioActive Complete B Complex has active forms of the B vitamins.  Note that one serving is two capsules, so you can take one capsule at each of two meals, boosting opportunity for absorption.   Life Extension also makes Benfotiamine (100 mg).  Take one at each of two meals in addition to the B Complex.  Don't take thiamine and B vitamins close to bedtime, you may be too energized to sleep.   I like Life Extension's Neuro Mag, a form of magnesium that can get into the brain easily, which helps immensely with improving headaches and muscle tension in the neck.   I'm so glad you're enjoying the forum!

      Help Interpreting My Lab Results? (updated)

      By Jessica H · Posted

      Hi trents, just an update to my post, I had my follow up with my gastroenterologist. Scheduled my endoscopy for July 17th and got my biopsy results back July 28th. I have my official diagnosis now and I do in fact have Celiac disease. I'm slowly starting to switch my diet over to completely gluten free. My goal is to be completely gluten free after Christmas this year. I know I should be stopping completely now, but I am have a really hard time with change so my doctor told me I could do this gradually if it was easier for me. Now I know though and can make myself better with simple steps, no medication and have peace of mind knowing what I have is not the end of the world. Thanks again for your support. I've learned a lot over the last couple of months.

      @knitty kitty thank you for this suggestion.  Yes definitely.  Actually, since you brought it up, I just looked to see what amount of B vitamins my multi-vitamin had in it. I just realized that not only am I taking the version of thiamine that you mentioned doesn't absorb well, but also that I inadvertently reduced the amount of thiamine that I'm taking daily over time.  I'm just now looking at the bottles for the last three multi-vitamins that I was taking (including the current one I'm taking now).  I started with thiamine mononitrate at 25mg but that turned out not to be a gluten-free multivitamin, so then I switched to a gluten-free multivitamin with 1.1mg thiamine mononitrate, and then when my GI doc advised me to switch to an independent iron pill, I got a new multi-vitamin gummy that lacked iron. Now I'm realizing that this gummy only has 0.14mg thiamine mononitrate.  So not only are these not the right kind of thiamine but they are waaaay low.  Probably going on a gummy is a bad idea anyway... I will look into a B complex and if you have any suggestions of a specific one that worked for you, I would gladly take the suggestion!  Thanks so much.  this is such an awesome forum!!!

      mystery gluten?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @AnneBSunflower, I have Hashimoto's, too.  I've learned some things that have helped with mine. This study says it's common to find anti gluten antibodies in Hashimoto's.  So antibodies aren't necessarily due to gluten ingestion.   https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31149170/   Take a B Complex supplement and Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine shown to promote intestinal healing, and Vitamin C.  This study found a higher rate of thiamine and Vitamin C deficiencies in people with Hashimoto's.   https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37278003/   Try cutting back on the amount of iodine in your diet.  Iodine, even in small amounts, can stimulate the thyroid which in turn stimulates the immune system which increases antibody production.   Dairy and eggs are high in iodine.  Switch from iodized salt to Pink Himalayan salt.   https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9703374/   Supplement with Selenium, a mineral that helps the thyroid function and calms the immune response in the thyroid.   https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37033262/ Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your progress!

      @Rejoicephd, Would you consider adding a B Complex to your supplements?   I was taking a multivitamin and still became deficient.  There's a question as to how well multivitamins dissolve in the digestive system.   I found taking a B Complex and Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine shown to promote intestinal healing, very beneficial in my recovery.   Some B Complex supplements use Thiamine Mononitrate which is not well absorbed nor utilized by the body.  Thiamine Hydrochloride is better.  Benfotiamine is easily absorbed.  If not needed, the B vitamins are easily excreted. High B12 out of the blue could be masking a lack of other vitamins that work with B12, like Folate B 9, Pyridoxine B 6, and Thiamine B 1. Meats and liver are great sources of B vitamins.  B vitamins are needed to make digestive enzymes that digest protein, fats, and carbohydrates.   Do keep in mind that most gluten free processed facsimile foods are not required to be enriched with vitamins and minerals lost in processing like their gluten containing counterparts.  The more carbohydrates you eat, the more Thiamine is needed to process them into energy instead of storing them as fat.   Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your progress.
