"it Will Be Listed In The Ingredients"

I'm a little frustrated and confused. Thought I had everything right, but I realize it's a process.

What I'm wondering, is what is meant by a company's statement that if their product contains gluten it will be listed in the ingredients? Gluten, itself, is NEVER listed in the ingredients, from what I've seen. It may be in a disclaimer FOLLOWING the ingredients that says: Contains/May Contain Gluten.

I never questioned this before, but Campbell's is a pretty reputable company and I was under the impression of just that: if it contained gluten, it would be listed. However, I decided to check out their gluten-free list today because I've been craving a creamy soup, and noticed that their Ready-to-Use Chicken Broth and reduced sodium Chicken Broths are not on the list, nor are they tagged as gluten-free when I found them individually on the site. What gives??? The only questionable ingredient in the broth is yeast extract, and maybe chicken stock...BUT if it isn't gluten-free I don't think this is as clearly labelled as I thought was claimed!!! Some yeast extract can be made without gluten, so I assumed if it was a gluteny yeast extract that it would say wheat yeast or something to that affect.

So I've been poisoning myself??? AGAIN??

Please let me know what gives, and if you know of any gluten-free broths that would be awesome, Thanks

:(

I seem to remember looking at a Campbell's chicken stock the other day, did not say gluten free, and the ingredients listed yeast extract (barley).

My grocery store has gluten-free broth but of course sitting here in my living room I can't remember the brand. But it's in a box, not can, and it's not concentrated. Just use straight out of the box. I can't remember if it specifically says "gluten free" on it, but the ingredients were something like "chicken, water, salt". lol... So, I figured it was safe. Darn, wish I had a box right here so I could look at the brand.

Progresso, Pacific and Kitchen Basics all have gluten-free chicken and beef broths (they're in boxes, not cans)

It may not say "gluten" in the ingredients, but would say wheat, barley, or rye. Either in the ingredient list or in the allergen statement immediately following it.

I buy a brand of broth at my local Jewel grocery store. It's organic and gluten-free called Pacific. I use it all the time in my recipes! It comes in chicken and beef broth.

It doesn't, though!!! However, I realized yesterday that if a Campbells product is gluten-free that they now actually LABEL IT gluten-free, which is very helpful. However, Knorr has practically the same ingredients, does not provide a gluten-free list on their website, but uses the statement I mentioned about clearly labelling. But like I said, here are the ingredients:

chicken broth (water, concentrated natural chicken broth, natural chicken flavor, salt, yeast extract), sugar, natural vegetable seasonings (celery, carrot, onion), spice and vinegar. MAY CONTAIN TRACES OF MILK INGREDIENTS.

compared to Campbells which I know is definitely not gluten-free, now:

chicken broth (water, chicken stock), chicken flavour, yeast extract, dextrose, salt. (and no allergen disclaimer)

So to me, the Knorr and Campbells are fairly similar ingredients, but Knorr claims it will CLEARLY list gluten ingredients. I know now to only buy Campbells products that are labelled gluten-free, but I will not trust Knorr any longer.

I guess my biggest concern is not just with chicken broth (Pacific and Kitchen Basics are both available where I live, thanks for the tips!), but my concern is:

WHAT DO COMPANIES FEEL IS "CLEARLY LISTED" GLUTEN??

I know there are several companies that make this claim, and now I'm scared to trust it. Sigh. I think that when this claim is made on a company's site, and they do not provide a gluten-free product list, then they should at least in brackets list the ingredients that they feel "clearly indicate" gluten, so that the indication will, in fact, be more clear! Maybe I just won't trust companies that don't put out a gluten-free list anymore?

Knorr is a Unilever brand. Unilever brands will clearly label any gluten source by naming the gluten grain in the ingredients list. Look for the words "wheat," "rye," "barley" or "oats." If none of those words appear in the ingredients, the product is gluten-free.

I've always made my own beef, chicken, and veg stock and broths. Now that I have celiac disease, it is even more important to me that I know what goes into things. No worries that way! :P

Yes, but this was said about Campbells, too.

Well, believe what you want. In over ten years on the gluten-free diet, I have not had a single problem where one of the listed companies failed to follow their disclosure policy. I trust them. All of them.

      Receommendations for kids multivitamins

      My kids take Whole Earth & Sea Kid’s Multivitamin as per our naturopath’s recommendation. They’re chewable but can be crushed and added to juice or food. No gums or citric acid. GMO free and gluten free too.

      DR1-DQ5 neurological symptoms

      By Murilo P · Posted

      It has been a while and I would like to post an update. The hallucinations are completely gone. Thanks to one bottle of B1 as benfotiamine and one of B3 as niacin, both taken together. I will buy more. The other symptoms are still being treated. Now I can already affirm that the symptoms are part of Borderline Personality Disorder. Yet I do have hopes that we will achieve the remission of BPD symptoms over the next couple of years. I think her issues come from this chain of events: Nutritional deficiencies at birth, due to being twin and having low birth weight. Low levels of Omega-3 during pregnancy and first years resulting in weak HPA axis development (predisposition for BPD). Consumption of gluten before age of 2 leading to predisposition for gluten sensitivity as adult Excessive consumption of gluten and sugar as an adult, leading to dysregulation of microbiome. Two severe gut infections due to lack of healthy bacteria, followed by hospitalization and use of antibiotics Poor diet after using antibiotics, worsening even more the gut health and leading to anorexia nervosa. Worsening of gluten sensitivity, then resulting in bouts of anxiety and depression, especially if added with sugar. Different forms of therapy haven't shown effectiveness yet, but I think it's because the issues must be treated with nutrients first, so we are taking that more seriously now and focusing on nutrients that are especially easy to digest and absorb. She still has intense gluten sensitivity, but I have hopes that this can go away after the body is completely re-nourished with the missing nutrients and then gets a few years to recover. Notes: The hallucinations begun after we tried Ayahuasca low dosage. I guess it was the result of a bad combination: "DR1 genes + B1 deficiency + Ayahuasca". I'd guess that would not have happened if it wasn't for the vitamin deficiencies. She has been fully in non-gluten diet, except for accidents that happen sometimes due to her food compulsion. I have been giving more importance to Omega-3, which is very effective in emotional regulation for BPD. Recently bought special products from Omnilife which use special "micelles" to promote quick absorption close to 100% rate. - "Micelles are tiny, spherical particles formed when amphiphilic molecules, like those in soap, aggregate in a liquid, typically water." Currently buying special whey protein which is hydrolyzed (easy to digest). I think we have underestimated the importance of proteins, which is not usually refereed as part of mental health treatment. She is pregnant again, but doing well. 🙂 Thanks for all of the help!

      Hi, My six year old has been complaining of tingling in the legs off late. This used to be pretty common thing with her pre-diagnosis and a couple of weeks after the diagnosis as well. And now it is back again. I am not sure if it's a glutening symptom, or she could be deficient in something. I got her Pure Encapsulations' multivitamin capsule, which she is ok taking, but she began reacting to cellulose in the capsule. I don't know if I can just break the capsule and she could drink it in a smoothie. I haven't tried that yet, so do not know whether it'll be palatable to her.  If any of you know of a CGF multivitamin that do not contain any gums and are preferably free of citric acid, I'd greatly appreciate. Thank you.

      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.
