Barley Amylase?

Can this be safe?  I was in the grocery yesterday and saw a product labeled Gluten Free.  It looked delicious, and I checked the label only to find "Barley Amylase" listed.  This was a small manufacturer, so I wondered whether they truly understand what Gluten Free is, or maybe Barley Amylase is safe?

I don't really know what it is. I looked it up and it looks like it is malted barley?

I had to look it up too and came to the same conclusion, that it is some sort of malted barley product. It is my understanding that under the new rules, nothing that has any ingredients derived from wheat, rye or barley can be considered gluten free... but that rule isn't in effect yet. I would simply notify them that they can't be doing that crap and not eat it.

Ka Me Singapore Express Noodles.  Funny, but I can't even find it on their website.  Strange.

An amylase is an enzyme that breaks down carbohydrates.  A barley amylase comes from barley.  If it's purified enough it could be considered to be gluten free just like other purified gluten grain derived products like alcohols, wheat starch, other barley enzymes etc.

I would avoid it, but I am very sensitive and avoid most processed foods.

      It looks like "mannite" is another name for "mannitol": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mannitol You are correct that it can trigger IBS-like symptoms, as we recently did an article on this: I'm not sure if there is a way around this, as it is likely needed for the test. Perhaps contact your doctor to see if there might be an alternative?

      Oral drink: You will be given a solution of mannitol mixed with water to drink over a period of about 30-60 minutes this is what it says it is ,?
