Peppermint Extract

Hi,

I'm getting ready to take a chlorophyll supplement that contains peppermint extract. The lable lists alcohol, water & peppermint oil. When I contacted the company they said it their product doesn't contain gluten. Does this mean that the gluten was extracted or something?

Thanks, I'm still new to this and a little confused! :lol:

If the alcohol was distilled, then it is gluten free regardless of the original source. Gluten does not pass into the distillate--the molecule is far too large. :)

Usually its corn alcohol used in extracts - companies usually specifiy grain. As I understand it too, there is still a debate regarding the distillation of grain alcohol, so that would be more of a personal choice .......... Who's to say parts of that gluten protein don't break off during distillation to cause irratation - that's the contested part as I know it.

      nuts.com -- no longer Celiac safe?

      By smilebehappy · Posted

      Sadly, I just now see the extremely tiny and hard to read wording on the label from some I got from nuts.com last year and it's below the certified gluten free sign which is more obvious. Another concern is that there's no expiration date to be found on any of the packages I have gotten.. It's confusing because they claim these are certified gluten free which Is why I got them due to having celiac. Looks like Tierra Farm has the lesser of the allergens, specifically wheat, so I will have to give them a try. Thanks

      Gluten-Free Picnics--It Seems Like There Should Be More of Them!

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      After many years of running Celiac.com, one thing I've noticed is that I rarely hear about support groups that organize gluten-free picnics. It seem like this would be a great way to get celiacs together. I've attended various conferences, meetings, and events over the years, but strangely, no gluten-free picnics.
