Gluten-Free Melatonin?

Just going gluten-free this week, noticed the 3mg disolvable melatonin I've been taking has wheat in it!  Can anyone recommend a brand of gluten-free melatonin, preferably disolvable?  Many thanks!  I'm sure this won't be my last question and/or request for help!

Every time I have called on a prescription a doctor has tried to give me for a dissolvable tablet I have been outright told it contains wheat starch. Unless you want to be on a snipe hunt I would aim for a regular pill which will be easy to find. (At this point I tell doctors outright I won't bother trying to call on that type of pill, I won't waste my time and just move on.)

I don't know of a disolvable one, but I order mine from puritan.com and the tablets are all (regardless of dose) gluten free. I've also found that site to be less expensive than GNC or other competitors.

I think that information is incorrect, Addy.  I use sublingual DHEA and there are brands which are gluten free.  I have never seen wheat starch listed on any bottle of a sublingual supplement.  I have never used melatonin but I am sure, with a google search, a gluten free version can be easily found.

I wasn't saying that every pill does, just that every one I had been prescribed and called the manufacturer on because it was what my local pharmacy had, had wheat in it. Which led me to give up on the entire possibility of sublinguals because I don't have time for snipe hunts. I'm glad you were able to find some and that there are some out there that exist. I was simply sharing my experience and didn't mean for it to be misleading.

I may have found a gummy product by Sundown Naturals that is gluten free.  It's on Amazon and the picture of the bottle says "NO wheat," but I'd much rather find a bottle I can actually pick up and look at.  Thanks everyone!

      Trying to read my lab results

      Hi Scott, yes I have had symptoms for years and this is the second GI I have seen and he could not believe I have never been tested. He called later today and I am scheduled for an endoscopy. Is there a way to tell how severe my potential celiac is from the results above? What are the chances I will have the biopsy and come back negative and we have to keep...

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      I agree christina, there is definitely many contributing factors! I have the pain today, my pelvis, hips and thighs ache! No idea why. But i have been sitting at work for 3 days so im thinking its my back. This disease is very mysterious (and frustrating) but not always to blame for every pain.

      Why?

      "her stool study showed she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that." The wording of this part of the sentence does not make any sense at all. I don't mean to insult you, but is English your first language? This part of the sentence sounds like it was generated by translation software.

      Why?

      What kind of stool test was done? Can you be more specific?

      Why?

      Perhaps I should also have said that in addition to showing a very high response to gluten, her stool study showed that she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that.
