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!

      Ectopic heartbeats - any relation to digestive issues?

      I just thought I'd update this post. My father has had some issues with his heart rythym and we found giving him an electrolyte drink plus a vitamin D supplement with extra calcium containing food (yoghurt) made a big difference, and very quickly. My own problems with ectopic heartbeats started up again with warmer weather so I thought I'd take...

      The Kiss of Death: How My Romantic Life Suffered after being Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      Bravely spoken. My son was only 2 years old when diagnosed, and certainly felt challenged by being different, and had behavior issues. A pediatrician who had treated many celiac kids once remarked at a seminar that even with behavior challenges in their youth, the celiac kids grew up by college age with great resources inside themselves for handling peer...

My own problems with ectopic heartbeats started up again with warmer weather so I thought I'd take a leaf out of his book, and now, for the second time, after just one Phizz Electrolyte Drink, and a dose of vitamin D (Fultium D 800 x 4) with a milkshake, my ectopics disappeared within the hour.   Probably the Phizz drink rather than the D with calcium, but maybe it all helped?  Just mentioning this in case anyone is looking for answers.

      Coeliac or not coeliac

      Do you have the standard range for the test results you received? A level of anti-tTG2 antibodies at least 10x the standard range is almost certainly (>98%) due to coeliac disease. Moderately raised levels can be caused by other conditions as well as coeliac disease. Accuracy of the No-Biopsy Approach for the Diagnosis of Celiac Disease in Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis It is possible to have latent or early stage coeliac disease without histological changes visible by microscope. As has been suggest in this thread, if the repeat test comes up negative and serology is high, request an HLA genetic test from your specialist. Only 40 % of the population carries an HLA gene variant enabling the development of coeliac disease - if you test negative for this, it is quite unlikely that you have coeliac disease.

      The Struggle Has Overtaken Me

      Hi @Ginger38, By now you know that these things improve without gluten. I once saw an interview with a corporation executive where he proudly declared that his wheat products are more addictive than potato chips. Dr Fuhrman (Eat to Live) said find foods that are friendly to you to be friends with.
