Was taking their bitter melon capsules and had the worse case of DH in ages.
When I asked, this was the reply from them---


Bitter Melon only contains the pure herb Bitter Melon and other minor
ingredients are: 100% kosher vegicapsules, micocrystalline cellulose,
colloidal silicon dioxide,magnesium stearate, and dicalcium phosphate.

What are they leaving out? What are vegicapsules?

[kenlove]

Exactly what I want to know! I wrote back and asked to which they replied
>>They do not contain wheat starch or barley in the vegicapsules.

Not the answer I would have liked to get. My hands and arms are a mess but clearing up since I stopped taking them although the blood sugar shot up again.
PLanted some of the melon and will have to juice my own fruit -- better but time consuming.
take care

I used to take Swanson's. You can get them online. I don't see any gluten listed, but gluten isn't a problem for me so I never checked.

Thanks -- Will have to check -- Used to get some things from Swanson's in pre-celiac days.
