I don't know exactly what is in pectin, but think of it as a type of gelatin. It is gluten free, that I do know.

I have read that Pectin can stimulate a response in those with Celiac Disease. I have to recall where I got it from. Here, however, is an interesting look at Pectin Open Original Shared Link

I received the smallpox vaccine while in the Army, which may have caused my Iummonglobulins to raise, hence, I think the Army is responsible for my possible celiac disease.

Please check post date, you responded to someone from 2006..... I use a universal pectin in my homemade nut milk icecreams to thicken it, one that works with calcium not sugar. It also have the benefits of having lowered my bad cholesterol.
