What brand of psyllium husk do you use for baking?

I had been using Anthony's Goods brand previously, but they seem to have discontinued carrying it. I am struggling to find a replacement brand that is safe for celiac - not at risk for cross contamination.

I know nuts.com has it, but I have had issues with even their certified gluten-free items so I'm hesitant to try.

Bob's Red Mill also makes it, but they seem to have a mixed reputation amongst celiacs for risk of CC, so I'm also hesitant to try that.

All of the brands I could find on Amazon have reviews from celiac customers that they got sick from CC.

There's a Canadian brand Pure-Le Natural that I've seen recommended a few times, but they don't ship to the US /:

If you bake, what brand psyllium do you use? Even if you use one of the above that I'm hesitant about - if folks here use it without issue then I'd be willing to give it a try.

Thank you!

You are correct about being careful with psyllium. I ordered some psyllium powder from Amazon that did NOT say "gluten-free" on its label but also did not say that it may contain wheat, and it tested positive for gluten with a Nima sensor. I gave it away.

Technically speaking, if it has "gluten-free" on the label it should be safe and below 20ppm, but if you are super sensitive that may not be enough, and you may need "certified gluten-free" if they make one.

You likely saw the same ones I did on Amazon, for example this says gluten-free, but the real issue is that most of it comes from India where there is still very little awareness of celiac disease:

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
