Dextrin Palmitate


Joan Donna

Recommended Posts

Joan Donna Newbie

I am looking at some skin care products.  The pharmacist who makes them insists that dextrin & dextrin palmitate are sugars and not gluten.  On all the lists of things to avoid, dextrin & dextrin palmitate are listed as hidden gluten.   Does anyone have an answer to why a dextrin sugar would have hidden gluten?

Dextrin is made by breaking down starch.  If the starch came from wheat, there could be contamination with wheat protein (gluten).  But I think in the US if dextrin is from wheat it is supposed to say so.

Looks like the pharmacist is correct, he's in the US.   Still not sure I'll use the product - better safe than sorry.

Thanks!

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?
