Hi, Erin & Janelle, these are the ones I have in my stash....
BRAND FLAVOUR Sugars per 100g INGREDIENTS
Continental (Unilever) Hearty Duch curry & Rice 0.9g Maltodextrin (fom wheat/corn) soy & sugar
ditto Croutons Creamy Pumpkin 2.4g Pretty much as above
Country Cup (Nestle) Cream of chicken/corn 0.7g ditto
ditto Pepper Steak & Mushroom 0.9g ditto
ditto Butternut Pumpkin & Ham 1.3g Similar, has glucose syrup,no maltodextrin
ditto Chicken & Mushroom 0.5g Pretty much as first one
Whilst they don't have much sugar, at least some of it comes from glucose syrup, but they all contain, Soy, Wheat & Milk in varying degrees. So ok if we must have a processed food, as long as we don't have too much of it, I guess it's ok, as long as you're not allergic to Wheat, Soy or milk. I also have a Woolies generic (Home Brand?) chicken & corn, which is my favourite, but Kev chucked the box away, by mistake. Have been known to have one at lunchtime & one before bed to warm me up!! Is that better than having caffeine, which gives me hot flushes? Jury's out on that one at the mo', as am trialling no caffeine, or almost none, anyway, am trying hard to give up my coffee, am down to one every 2nd day!! Mostly, tho' just have one cup a soup every 2nd day. I have been trying to have black tea instead, no milk, just Natvia, one sachet. If I can give up tea & coffee, that would be good, as no need for any sweeteners, Natvia included, which I'm not happy about either, as it's made from Erythritol., as well as Reb A Stevia. Do you think I'm becoming too picky about chemicals? I do have lots of minor symptoms, that together do tend to lower one's quality of life, and are annoying at least & can be nasty at worst. I find that my diarrhoea has lessened, but when I was having pure Dextrose powder in my drinks, it came back. I think that was when I made the Anzac biscuits that had the dextrose in them as well!!
It's all a damned minefield, and can be very confusing. Try to tread the middle road, but it's a very slippery thing.
Good luck out there, everybody.
Hope this all helps a little, Erin!!!
Spread the Love
Silver Angel
SMILE!!
