CBD Oil

Recently started using CBD oil, just in tincture form. Been helping out with anxiety and insomnia but I read something today that it could be glutenous if its processed on shared lines and, ironically, its been causing me anxiety.

Reached out to MedTerra who I purchased from any got this prompt response:

Thanks for reaching out! Although our products do not have any ingredients that contain gluten, we cannot guarantee that the products were not manufactured using machines that may have also been used to manufacture products that do contain gluten. Therefore, if it is dangerous for you to consume any amount of gluten, you may not want to risk using our products.

Not sure if this is legal CYOA or what. Since CBD oil is barely regulated and a lot of the companies are shady to begin with (thanks to the lack of regulation) I'm not sure if any actually "gluten free" brands are worth their salt. MedTerra goes through a lot to test their purity so its ironic to me that they don't test for gluten. Ingredients are just CBD and MCT carrier oil derived from coconuts so its hard to imagine them containing high levels of gluten, especially given the a) focus on purity and b) minimal processing compared to pills, edibles, or cosmetics. Its further complicated by the fact that CBD oil can cause stomach issues while also ameliorating the pain and GI inflammation that come with celiac. I started a dose on Wednesday. My stomach was disagreeable on Thursday but only after dinner and about 22 hours after the dose. No pain or other symptoms, so its likely a false alarm and dinner just didn't sit well. Taking some CBD oil after I got sick actually helped settle my stomach ironically enough. Of course, I'm leery of invisible damage occurring. 

Just wondering everyone's thoughts on whether or not this stuff is safe? Does anyone have experience with MedTerra or other brands not explicitly advertised as gluten free, or is it worth finding a bona fide gluten free brand? From a few hours of anxiety-induced research it looks like a lot of celiacs rely on CBD oil, but there aren't many discussions of whether or not its safe. Those discussions that do exist are usually from vendors trying to hawk their wares...

I can't think of a reason that CBD oil would contain any gluten, but then again, there are 100's of foods that shouldn't contain hidden gluten, but do. I suppose they could put cheaper wheat germ oil in it to be more profitable by diluting the product. I do think many celiac could benefit from using CBD oil, as it has many benefits, especially for those whose celiac symptoms include arthritic pain.

Yeah it did good for my anxiety for the 2 days where I was using it. I did end up getting glutened by its possible it could have been something else (I ate mushrooms over the weekend, usually have good luck with them). 

Any brands that are safe?

You would likely need to look at their web pages, and perhaps ask them directly, but again, I'm not sure why gluten might be added to them.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
