Cooking Casseroles

I am new to this board so I apololgize if this answer is already been posted. I was diagnosed with celiac disease in October and am slowly making progress. My wife has been great in cooking things I can eat while also feeding our 3 & 5 year old boys what they like. They have no indications of celiac disease and hopefully never will. One of our biggest problems is cooking casseroles because of the creamed soup issue. In Bette Hagman's cook book she has a creamed soup base mix. We have everythng but the gluten-free powdered soup base that it calls for. We have been unable to find this and therefore can't make the base. Information on where to find this soup base would be greatly appreciated. I just discovered this forum and reading the posts have helped me greatly. It is nice to know that my feelings are not completely out or ordinary and that battling some depression issues is not uncommon. Thanks in advance to anybody that can help.

I had the exact same problem as you did I had everything but the powder and I couldn't find it. Until one day when i was at SaveOn Foods I found Harvest Sun Organic Free Range Chicken Broth powder and as well as the Vegetable broth. It was the highlight of my day and they were even on sale that day. It says right on the back of the container that they are gluten free. SaveOn Foods isn't the only place that I found it so I am sure you will be able to fight it at a place near you.

If like me, you live in a remote area, you may have to do some shopping on the Internet. Glutano brand has a beef and chicken that I have. I cannot remember which site I found it on but if you type in gluten free soup base or gluten free boullion, into a search engine like Yahoo or Excite, you should be able to find it. I use it for all sorts of stuff.. I just did a search and found even more products!! YAY!! Here try this link...

Open Original Shared Link sorry I dont know how to put that into active link.. <_< but if you type it in your browser, it will pop up. Soup is food for the soul as are hotdishes ( thats what we call em here in Iowa and what I grew up on) and you should not go without. :) Stay strong.

Hey Deb, have you tried Aproten pasta? I have tried them all, I mean all. Online, in the store in the city.. at health food stores. Aproten is the best in my opinion. The rest have funky textures that I dislike. Aproten is imported from Italy, its costly, it contains saffron but you can hardly tell its not wheat pasta. I for one keep waiting for my brain to forget wheat pasta. <_< It comes in many different shapes. If you like big fat noodles, try the taggatelli (sp?) its big fat noodles and it works well in hotdishes. :)

I'm confused, I am also looking for the gluten-free powdered soup base - it seems like the products you are mentioning are similar to boullion cubes - is that what "powdered soup base" means? Can I just use the Knorr gluten-free boullion cubes from my grocery store?

      Anyone else with very high HDL?

      By plumbago · Posted

      The last time my vitamin D was very low, according to a lab test, was before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. I've been supplementing ever since, and now the numbers on the lab tests are within their normal ranges, oftentimes way above. I've also been supplementing with methylcobalamin (B12) since I was low before diagnosis in 2010, and now I'm fine. I'm surprised I ever requested a folate level, but I did, in 2019. Result 9.4 ng/mL (range >3.0).

      Confused with test results

      By Captain173 · Posted

      Do you have any links that show studies where NCGS and/or infections have caused high Ttg iga levels.  I've yet to see anything that truly supports this. Everything I've read says the high levels are celiac specific.

      Anyone Got Sick From Canola Oil?

      By gailc · Posted

      I get coughing and choking from canola oil. I cough up stuff.  Symptom is like bronchitis.  I have gluten intolerance, maybe celiac.  the choking persists for about a week, it simulates a cold.  I got it from the gluten free menu at Outback too, that time I got cramps for 25 hours. the cramps start about 20 minutes after finishing eating.

      Opinions on my test results/symptoms

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Many of the symptoms, there are over 200, associated with celiac disease and NCGS are vitamin and mineral deficiencies caused by small intestine damage in the case of celiac disease and food avoidance and the poor nutrittion of the Modern American Diet (MAD) I used to turn the heat on even at 78 degrees.  The 600 mcg of Liquid Iodine helped.  Also good for hair, nails, skin and brain fog.  Another good thing for brain fog is phosphatyl choline.  It is essentil for acetylcholine- a brain chemical. I have familial hyperlipdemia and instead of a statin I got a prescription for Nicotinic Acid, 2000 mg a day.  I was already taking 500 mg a day and was really surprised when my HDL when up to  44 and I began sleeping better and my legs and back are getting more flexible.  In addition after the first few doses of itchiness I get a warm fuzzy feeling Raising your vitamin D is crucial.  Low vitamin D allows the immune system to run amuck. intermittent bouts of fatigue, chills/cold intolerance, and shortness of breath/air hunger (sometimes feels like a hollowness in my chest, hard to describe).  Look at Thiamin deficiency. consistently ran hot, was always cranking the a/c, to someone who wears a down vest.  Any combination of deficiencies in B1, B2, B3, B5, choline and Iodine can cause this.  Likely all of them. After a lifetime of mouthbreathing GFD cleared my sinuses.  Post nasal drip is my first symptom of cross contamination nowaday.

      3 year old gluten intolerance?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      If you mean continueing on Gluten Free my answer is yes.  She showed significant improvement in her behavior and that translates to a happy family.  Do get her tested as sooon as you can.  You might want to investigate genetic testing for Celiac Disease.  Children recover more quickly than adults.  It took my son about 6 months on Nutramigen before going to regular food, gluten free.  Blood tests are not always accurate in very young children. You may be advised to see a gastroenterologist instead of relying on blood tests results. Logic: She is better off gluten than before.  Wheat flour has no nutritional value and has an omega 6: omega 3 ratio of 22:1.  Our bodies do better at 3:1.  Omega 6 causes inflammation. When my son was diagnosed, back in 1976, his doctor recommended my wife and I also go gluten free.  We declined and lived to regret it.  I started GFD at 63 and have spent the last 10 years undoing the damage, some of my symptons went all the way back to my childhood and things I lived with all my life got better.
