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:

      Question re: life/health insurance: if you're already under these policies, do you have to notify them if you receive an official diagnosis, or is that only for new policies?  I have had two active term life insurance policies for many years that I pay a set amount into.  And my employer covers my health insurance.  So, do I need to let them both know if I do become officially diagnosed?  I'm glad I read this, because that would certainly be marked off in the "disadvantage" box for me!

      I'm new here so I'm not sure if I'm allowed to recommend doctors?  But I am in Manhattan and see Dr. Lauren Schwartz at Manhattan Gastroenterology.  I am still in the process of (potentially) being diagnosed and she has been wonderful.  She has experience in Celiac and has a very calming bedside manner.  I feel confident I'll get the right diagnosis with her.  Give her a try if she takes your insurance.  Good luck!

      Not knowing how long I have to wait for a hospital appointment for the intestine and biopsy seems to make things worse. The thing is if you have headaches you take pain killers, isn’t there anything that I can do?.

      Welcome to the forum. Can we assume that you've been diagnosed with celiac disease and have been on a gluten-free diet for a while? If so, it sounds like you may be in the super sensitive group, as others here have reported similar issues when working in bakeries, pizzerias, etc. Until you find other work, and perhaps don't have roommates who cook gluten foods, you may need to consider wearing an N95 mask to avoid breathing in any particles.
