I have the soft bouillon cubes from Knorr and I don't see any gluten-free labeling on them. Does anyone know the status on these?

Knorr...yeah do not use them. I contacted them years ago after issues...they said they can not promise gluten free and they constantly change their sources and ingredients to improve their product. Look at using Stocks like Pacific, Kitchen Basics instead. I heard at one point Better then Bullion was good. And there was one other gluten free one I will look up later if I can.

They are labelled gluten free here in the UK and I've had them without problem. Of course please don't assume that applies to other territories!

We use the Herb Ox brand all the time without problems. https://www.amazon.com/Herb-Ox-Bouillon-Chicken-3-33-oz-Gluten/dp/B0005ZVGJY

and Better the Bouillon too https://www.amazon.com/Better-Bouillon-Chicken-Vegetable-Variety/dp/B06XNZ6F9C/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?s=grocery&ie=UTF8&qid=1514660426&sr=1-1-spons&keywords=better%2Bthan%2Bbouillon&th=1

We use Herb Ox just fine - 

I do not believe that Better than Bouillon is gluten free.  Can't remember what on the labelling made me avoid it, but I'd love to try it if someone can tell me I'm wrong.

I'm so confused. I eat it all the time, at least the chicken one. I just read the label and there's certainly nothing to indicate it contains gluten.

check out the label here https://www.amazon.com/Better-Than-Bouillon-Chicken-Base/dp/B000VDSS3C

I can't remember, but it was a few years ago and maybe it had Maltodextrin in it, or maybe it was the 'flavorings' - which I never eat unless it's from a company like Kraft or McCormick that labels clearly.  But given that you eat it safely, maybe I'll contact the company for a clear answer.

Be careful. Even though it reads gluten free in some of the bouillons. There is yeast extract in some them. Be sure to read ingredient’s.

Please check there is no yeast extract. I was looking at them yesterday and there are some that have it.

      @KathyR37, I would suspect that in addition to gluten intolerance, you have other food intolerances/sensitivities. This is very common in the celiac community. The most common offenders are oats, dairy, soy, corn and eggs with dairy and oats being the big two. Have you considered this? Have you tried keeping a food diary to detect patterns?

      thank you for your advice. I have always taken them and I use Stonehedge because they are in a glass bottle, but don't have to be refrigerated. I also like they are 3rd party tested and state gluten free. But you never know if something better has come alone over the years.

      I am new here but celiac disease is not new to me. I was diagnosed with it at age 60. At the time I weighed a whopping 89 pounds. I was so ignorant to celiac so I buried myself in learning all about it and looking for food I could eat. I lost so much weight and stayed sick all the time. So to combat the sickness I was give all sorts of meds for loose bowels...

I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and  gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem I have is a gag reflex out of this world and if something doesn't taste good it is not going down. Most commercially made breads and such taste like old cardboard.Pastas are about the same. I did find one flour that I like and use it regularly, but it is so expensive! All gluten free food is way more expensive. I only eat twice a day because I cannot afford to buy all that. We live on a very low income so my food purchases are quite limited.

      What you've described—the severe weight loss, the cycle of medications making things worse, and the profound fear of eating before leaving the house—is a heavy burden to carry for 15 years. It is absolutely not your fault. While everyone's journey with celiac is different, the struggles with the learning curve, social isolation, and dietary grief are feelings many in the community know all too well. Your question about whether you should just eat what you want and manage the symptoms is a heartbreaking one, born from years of frustration. It's crucial to know that the diarrhea is a sign of ongoing damage to your small intestine from gluten, and simply managing the symptom with Imodium doesn't stop that internal harm or the risk of other complications. The fact that you are still getting sick within an hour of eating, even while trying to be gluten-free, is a huge red flag that something isn't right. This could be due to cross-contamination in your kitchen (e.g., using a shared toaster, colander, or condiment jars), hidden gluten in foods, or the possibility of another concurrent condition like refractory celiac disease. Don't give up!  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      I am new here but celiac disease is not new to me. I was diagnosed with it at age 60. At the time I weighed a whopping 89 pounds. I was so ignorant to celiac so I buried myself in learning all about it and looking for food I could eat. I lost so much weight and stayed sick all the time. So to combat the sickness I was give all sorts of meds for loose bowels and vomiting. All that just made me sicker. Eventually I chucked it all and went back to eating like I had all my life. Now I am from the south and biscuits and gravy are a big part of our food, as are breaded foods, pasta, and sandwich bread. Through the years I would try to do the gluten free thing again and am doing it now. It has not helped any. Within and hour of eating I have to run to the bathroom. I am now 75 and am wondering if I should just forget it and eat what I like, take Immodium and live the best I can. I cannot eat before going anywhere for fear of embarrassing myself. Family and church dinners are out of the question unless I eat and run straight home. I am so frustrated I just want to sit down and cry or throw something. Does everyone go through all this?
