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.

      High Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA after being gluten-free for 6 months

      By RMJ · Posted

      It can take longer than 6 months for antibodies to drop to the normal range,  My DGP IgA took a few years as I got stricter and stricter about being gluten free  But having symptoms again could also mean you’re getting some gluten in your diet.

      High Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA after being gluten-free for 6 months

      By TexasCeliacNewbie · Posted

      Hi, I just had my 6 month check after being diagnosed Celiac 6 months ago.  All of my panel numbers were normal except: Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA (It is 31 with high being over 30)  I have also been having symptoms again. Am I not actually being as careful as I think I am or does it take longer than 6 months for this particular test to come back down?  I can't get ahold of my doctor this week as she is out.     Thank you!

      Diagnosis and further testing Celiac

      That is very strange, because it looks to me like two very different test results, but for the same test! It's definitely time to contact your doctor for clarity on this.

      Scott, thank you SO MUCH for this!! She has been through so much in the last three years as we've tried to track down answers. This language will definitely help me help her to reframe.
