Do beef boullion cubes usually have gluten or not, does anyone know? All I read that was questionable was natural flavor. I ate something cooked in boullion, and the person told me it was after I ate it (thanks mom). Sure would appreciate some input here, thanks julie...

I don't know about the gluten but I understand that most, if not all, boullions have MSG in them, which is why they taste so good.

Most bouillion cubes seem to have gluten ...and if not dodgy labelling...

I only buy ones saying gluten free.

Definitely can't categorize by type and always have to read the label or call when in doubt. I use Rapunzel, myself, and I know there are a few others out there that are gluten-free. I've seen a couple that have wheat, though I don't remember if those were boullion cubes or a paste or powder or what other concoction that served the same purpose.

Well I feel fine so they must have been okay. They said at the bottom of the indredients contains soy, and the only other thing was natural flavor. My poor mom thought she glutened me, lol. I had to call her and let her know I was feeling fine and not to feel bad. I looked at some brands on the net, and most of them do, but some don't. All the veggie ones are gluten-free.

I usually take the lists of other allergens as a good sign.

Thats a good point. Who knew a month ago I'd be sitting around stressing about beef boullion. ;) Before this I never just wondered about boullion cubes, lol. Ahhhhhhh how funny is this silly disease we have, well at least I can find the humor in it all. :blink:

Herbox(made by Hormel) boullion cubes are gluten free. I generally get the vegetable, beef, and chicken. But, I have actually found the vegetable to be the best flavor, even for beef stews and chicken soups. Plus the vegetable doesn't have any MSG.

I only buy gluten-free ones, too. I'm way to sensative to gluten to wanna take an actual risk (even tho sometimes I have no choice lol). But yeah, I always stock up on the gluten-free ones just in case :) Theres so many different flavours, I think even more than normal cubes, so we got an advantage :P

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

      By trents · Posted

      @KRipple, thank you for the lab results from your husband's celiac disease blood antibody testing. The lab result you share would seem to be the tTG-IGA (Tissue Transglutaminase IGA) and the test result is in excess of 10x normal. This is significant as there is an increasing tendency for physicians to grant a celiac disease diagnosis on the basis of antibody testing alone when the scores on that particular test exceed 10x normal. This trend started in the UK during the COVID pandemic when there was tremendous pressure on the medical system over there and it has spread to the USA. The tTG-IGA is the centerpiece of celiac disease blood antibody testing. All this to say that some doctors would grant a celiac disease diagnosis on your husband's bloodwork alone and not feel a need to go forward with an endoscopy with biopsy. This is something you and your husband might wish to take up with his physicians. In view of his many health issues it might be wise to avoid any further damage to his small bowel lining by the continuing consumption of gluten and also to allow healing of such to progress. The lining of the small bowel is the place where essentially all of our nutrition is absorbed. This is why celiac disease when it is not addressed with a gluten free diet for many years typically results in additional health problems that are tied to nutritional deficiencies. The millions and millions of tiny finger-like projections that make up the nutrient absorbing surface of the small bowel lining are worn down by the constant inflammation from gluten consumption. In celiac disease, the immune system has been tricked into labeling gluten as an invader. As these finger-like projections are worn down, the efficiency of nutrient absorption becomes more and more compromised. We call this villous atrophy.

      By KRipple · Posted

      Thank you so much! And sorry for not responding sooner. I've been scouring the hospital records and can find nothing other than the following results (no lab info provided): Component Transglutaminase IgA   Normal Range: 0 - 15.0 U/mL >250.0 U/mL High   We live in Olympia, WA and I will be calling University of Washington Hospital - Roosevelt in Seattle first thing tomorrow. They seem to be the most knowledgeable about complex endocrine issues like APS 2 (and perhaps the dynamics of how APS 2 and Celiacs can affect each other). His diarrhea has not abated even without eating gluten, but that could be a presentation of either Celiac's or Addison's. So complicated. We don't have a date for endoscopy yet. I will let my husband know about resuming gluten.    Again, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with me!

      Hi Phosphone, did you ever figure out what elevated your DGP?  I am in the same boat.

      Scott makes a good point about the prednisone. It has a general suppressing effect on the immune system. Don't misunderstand me. In view of your husband's several autoimmune afflictions, it would seem to be an appropriate medication therapy but it will likely invalidate endoscopy/biopsy test results for celiac disease.
