Supplement Called "celiact"


Blu-1

Recommended Posts

Blu-1 Rookie

I wondering if anyone knows if the supplement "Celiact" - celiac with a t on the end - contains trace amounts of milk (casein and/or lactose) in it? I am having trouble finding the answer by going to stores that sell the product. Some reviews by customers reference that it does have trace amounts of milk in it. The supplement works miracles for me but I am casein intolerant. I can handle trace amounts of casein in butter. However, my mother may not, and I don't want her taking this supplement if it has milk bi-products in it.

Hi Blu,

Have you contacted the manufacturer?  Usually they will be able to give you the best, most up to date information.  If you do, post your response here to help others :)  Welcome to the forum!

Thanks kareng. I emailed the company and got the following response:

 

Hi Blu,

CeliAct is dairy-free / casein-free. We test all inventory in a third party lab before it can be sold. There is an undetectable amount of both dairy and casein in CeliAct.

Let me know if I can help with anything else.

Best,

I emailed Giliah Nagar back asking her to clarify what "undetectable" means but haven't gotten a response so far. I am wondering if "undetectable" means that they meet the legal requirement for the amount of milk in the supplement to be considered to be technically "milk free". Or perhaps milk is involved in the process of manufacturing some of the ingredients but the end product has little to no milk in it.
I do hope for transparency-sake that the celiAct manufacturers get back to me. Otherwise there is too much room for conjecture on the part of their customers and they might lose business unnecessarily. 
The product has been amazing for me and my cousin. We both have Celiac. Some of my symptoms disappeared soon after taking it and return if I don't take it. I am casein intolerant but can handle small amounts. However, I don't want to recommend celiAct to people who cannot afford to have even the smallest trace of milk in their diet.

I received clarification from Giliah Nagar, General Manager of Celiact, as to what "undetectable" amounts of milk in the CeliAct supplement means:

 

Hi Blu,

Sorry for the late response. It means that machines responsible for detecting a certain allergen only search for it to a certain level. This is how allergen testing works in food and supplements. There are cutoff amounts where tools will not attempt to detect below (for dairy, for example, it is below 5 PPM and for gluten, it is below 3 PPM). If the tools cannot detect for those amounts, then the results for allergen testing come back as “undetectable” to those amounts.

Does that make a little more sense now?

Thanks,

      I'm pretty sure that in stores, you can find plenty of gluten-free options. But they are usually a bit more expensive.

      Hello @BunnyBrown and welcome to the forum. I cannot say that I have had the procedure you describe, but recently I did have general surgery and was routinely intubated.  That pain was what troubled me most after the operation, far more than the operation site.  It took a few days to really settle down, I was quite badly bruised. It was taking so long I was a bit concerned so asked the question on another forum. A few patients came back to me and said they had suffered the same.  I imagine in my own case possibly the throat got bashed about a bit,  maybe they had difficult inserting the tube?  I've suffered with a painful throat post-endoscopy too, but never as long as the intubation pain.   I hope you will be feeling better very soon.   PS BTW - love the name!  I saw this today in an Easter display in a shop and your name reminded me of it.🙂

      This wonderful, Anne. I think you have a point about why people disappear off forums.  I found the first few years post diagnosis a real struggle and frankly wondered if I would ever feel better (not to dishearten people, but just to say it can take a while longer for some folk to heal).  However, once my antibodies were back within normal range it really has made a big difference to my health.  I've chosen to stick around because I'm a Mod, otherwise I might have been one of those that disappeared, too!
