I just e-mailed them a little while ago to see if any of their soups are gluten-free (and will ofcourse post the response when I get it); but does anyone happen to have any info.

I'm starving, and craving hot soup for lunch.

Last week I was in Hale & Hearty Soups in NYC. I spoke to the manager and he told me to look at the card on the back of each soup which lists ingredients. I had the white bean with spinach because all of the ingredients looked fine. I also think the tomato with rice was OK. I look forward to seeing what the company reply is.

P.S.

Ruby Foo's restaurant (Bway & 70's) has a gluten free menu. I ate there and apparently the cook's mom has celiac.

OMG seriously, Ruby Foo's has a gluten-free menu!! That's hysterical. I work about a block or so from there. To be honest working in Times Square (or NY in general) we make fun of all those places but sometimes you just have to give in. I smell a group lunch at RF tomorrow!! LOL!

I haven't heard back from H&H yet but will post when (if) I do.

I'd love to hear which Hale & Hearty soups are gluten-free too! And I'd love to hear about experiences eating out at Ruby Foo's. (I too work in the Times Square area.)

Keep us posted, please!

Ok so here's the response from Hale & Hearty. While Andrew was very polite he doesn't seem to know much about what we can and can't eat.

Response from Hale & Hearty Soups

Thanks for your email. I checked with our chef and although I cannot guarantee which soups do or do not contain gluten, I can tell you which soups would have specifically wheat, barley, rye or oats. As for wheat, I think flour would be the main issue and the only soups that contains white flour are our gumbos. We do use corn flour in some soups (typically soups that also contain corn) and I believe any soup with pasta should be avoided. There are also a number of soups that contain corn starch, which I do not know if it is a problem. As for barley, soups that contain barley are labeled as such (wild mushroom barley, chicken barley, etc.) Lastly, rye and oats are not specific products we use in any of our soups, although I guess it is possible that some ingredient could contain them. You can always ask a server for the list of ingredients in any of our soups. I hope that was helpful. Thanks again.

wow, you guys, that sounds great! I live in NYC too, and have enjoyed their soups. Plus, I never had a reaction (or one that I am aware of).

speaking of food and restaurants, have you tried Peters?????? I found this place and LOVE it. Theres a gluten-free Menu. I have had their pancakes, and I eat the chicken cutlet parmisan (Not the correct spelling, forgive me!) with pasta, sauce and garlic bread. Amazing. I eat there regularly with my fiance and he eats off the gluten-free menu too and loves it. The owner knows us.

Any other good places in NYC?

I've been meaning to try Peter's but haven't made it there yet. I've been to Risotteria a few times, which is awesome. A few of us are meeting there next Friday, Dec. 9th after work around 6:00. You should join us.

I know Sambuca has a gluten-free menu and I actually loved that place before finding out I had celiac disease so that's another one I've been wanting to get to.

Check out this link for restaurants that have gluten-free menus.

I find most places to be really accomodating.

      Energy drink can has stains - potential gluten?

      By Dora77 · Posted

      It wasnt really eye catching, but they were small stains which looked like dried out liquid. I dont know if it was normal or shouldve been just completely clean. But if someone didnt pay attention, it wouldnt be noticeable.

      If there were stains or particles on a drink can in an area that would either contact the drink or my lips, I would wash that can whether or not I had celiac disease.

      Not Just Wheat, Barley and Rye Glutens that make us sick

      By Bebygirl01 · Posted

      You are on the money, but I should also add that Italian, French and other countries research shows exactly what I have said. Our FDA is behind the ball when it comes to this research and I am hopeful that Kennedy can straighten this out soon, albeit he is giving the food companies too long to just remove food dyes from our foods when in fact they have to remove all that in order to sell for example, in the UK as they aren't allowed such things. The food companies and the cola companies have also changed their formulas to have just sugar in them instead of corn gluten aka high fructose corn syrup and corn starch in them. Misinformation here in America is a very dangerous thing. I also have been grain free for a long time now and at no time can I even have the smallest amount of corn gluten -I recently got glutened from a supplement that claimed to be grain free yet upon further research I found that it had erythritol (corn sugar) in it and that is what got me sick for 7 days straight. I am not hopeful to ever be able to add back into my diet any of the grain glutens, but perhaps those who were only gluten intolerant might be able to, but for me being celiac, I have no hope in that. Thank you for the article, I will add it to my collection of research as I am collecting everything I can find on this subject and posting it on X as well as other places.  I also don't use psuedo grains i.e. quinoa as that also reacts negatively with my gut, so I am 100% a cassava/tapioca/arrow root girl and that is my go to bread replacement. There are some new items made with chicpea/green peas that are sold as rice alternatives, i bought one to try but haven't yet. So food companies are getting creative, but like you said, I am fresh whole foods and don't buy many processed foods, I make my own cheese, ketchup, pickles, jams, etc.

      There were small spots (stains) on the drinking area at the top of the energy drinks can from the store that looked as the same color as milk — maybe oat milk (Hafermilch) or a wheat-based drink (Weizendrink), but I’m not sure what it was. There were also some particles that looked like either flour or dust, but not many. Could it have been a gluten-containing drink spilled onto the can or just regular small stains which I shouldn‘t worry about? Do you watch out for stuff like that or am I overthinking? Would it cause damage to a celiac?

      Not Just Wheat, Barley and Rye Glutens that make us sick

      This is such an important discussion! While corn gluten (zein) is structurally different from wheat gluten, emerging research suggests some celiac and gluten-sensitive individuals may still react to it, whether due to cross-reactivity, inflammation, or other factors. For those with non-responsive celiac disease or ongoing symptoms, eliminating corn—especially processed derivatives like corn syrup—might be worth exploring under medical guidance. That said, corn’s broader health impact (GMOs, digestibility, nutritional profile) is a separate but valid concern. Like you mentioned, ‘gluten-free’ doesn’t automatically mean ‘healthy,’ and whole, unprocessed foods are often the safest bet. For those sensitive to corn, alternatives like quinoa, rice, or nutrient-dense starches (e.g., sweet potatoes) can help fill the gap. Always fascinating (and frustrating) how individualized this journey is—thanks for highlighting these nuances! Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.
