Marian12, welcome to the forum!

Can you link the exact product so we can look at the ingredient list or at least give more details about which Knorr onion soup mix product you are asking about? Knorr offers several different onion soup mixes.

Thank you.  Unfortunately, I have  very limited cupboard space. I remove the package contents from the boxes & only keep the contents.  Lesson learned!

Then I would not use it until you can locate an ingredient list. Can you pinpoint the exact product on Amazon that you bought?

There are actually two concerns in these situations:

1. Does the product contain wheat, barley or rye as an intentional ingredient? Does one or more of those grains or their derivatives (such as malt or malt flavoring which is made from either barley or wheat)? If manufactured in the USA and contains wheat, then FDA regulations require it be listed under allergens on the label. Wheat is one of the 8 common allergens that must be declared if used in the formulation. Barley and rye are not required to be listed in the allergen section. Other countries may have different regulations.

2. Was the product produced on equipment shared with other products that do contain grains having gluten in them? This is called cross contamination (CC) and is sort of a gray area for celiacs and gluten sensitive people since it may hinge on how sensitive they are to minor amounts of gluten and it also may depend on how much of it they eat.

It is always best to stick with products that state "gluten free" on the packaging or, even better, "certified gluten free". The latter designation indicates stricter ppm limits.

Thank you & I completely agree. I’ll stay away from this product until I’m able to obtain the complete list of ingredients.  For now, I’ll stay with the Certified gluten-free.  Thank you for all your help today.

You're welcome. Be aware also that food companies can and sometimes do change formulations on mainstream products. What was once gluten free many not be always be so continue to read labels and don't assume what was gluten free at a point in time will always be gluten free.

      Still testing positive after being gluten free for one year ?!!

      By Jenn D · Posted

      Hi. Did your ema levels ever go negative? My son is 2 years in gluten free and they are still positive.  I'm scared he has refractory celiac disease. Please if anyone has any info greatly appreciate it. His ttg is 3 which is considered normal.

      Not sure if this is Celiac or just a gluten-free intolerance

      I will have that info soon but it was a laundry list of a test and 9 viles. ok so there were some days she was gluten she barely ate because of the reactions. I told her 3 weeks of atleast 10g’s a day and no gluten-free days. Thanks so much for your help! I didn’t know my suggestion for gluten-free days would have hurt her.    I will come back with the list to make sure the req was proper!!

      A "gluten challenge" of two weeks would be the bare minimum for expecting to render valid testing, and that would have been paired with eating a minimum of 10 g of gluten each day (the equivalent of 4-6 slices of wheat bread). And with the three gluten free days in the midst of that two week gluten challenge I would not have confidence in the results of the testing. Was there a blood test done for IGA deficiency? Can you post the test names that were done with the scores and with the reference ranges used by the lab? By the way, with celiac disease the issue is not being able to digest gluten. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder defined by the fact that ingestion of gluten triggers an immune system response that attacks the membrane that lines the small bowel. The immune system mistakenly identifies the protein gluten as a biologic invader.

      Hey all!! M i want to thank everyone for their suggestions and advice - I am a single mother of 4 (now 3) and was helping with my oldest leaving the nest. I have another child with medical issues and with work (it’s our end year), life has been crazy and I haven’t had the time to answer.    so we got a blood test done for my daughter that can’t digest gluten. She had been eating gluten for 2 weeks. The blood work came back normal? How is that possible. I see her with my own eyes and it’s not normal. Is that not long enough?  I am thinking about having her eat gluten another week then go to the hospital and see what they say.    She did have 3 gluten-free days in those 2 weeks but she was getting afraid to eat and I told her to may take a day off - was this a bad thing to do? Girl was having constant back pains and muscle soreness as well. Headaches/migraines…should I wait longer. I did see 4-6 weeks of Gluten consumption prior to testing… kind of at a loss now.    Thanks to everyone for whatever advice you can give.   Enjoy your Sunday 😃👋👋
