Water filters and gluten

[Tonya Kane]

I've been told today by a Rx rep that my water filter may contain gluten by-products in them as she found her's did.  Has anyone else had an issue with their's.

I've never heard of this before, may I ask who told you this, and where in the filter might there be gluten?

I heard this recently, too, but have gotten conflicting answers.

I'd ask that person more specifics, brand, etc. and call the company that makes them.

I have found this to be an issue too! At my work, we have 3 people with celiac. We all thought we were going crazy drinking the water from our filtered water fountain. Turns out when we all stopped drinking it, our symptoms went away. 
I found that life straw water filters cause this, as well as brita and zero water. From what I found it’s the glue that holds the filter together that causes this. I could be wrong though. 
I really want to find a filter that works, but it seems to be impossible to find out without trying it. When you let the companies know that there is a problem, they usually don’t believe you too, so sometimes you can’t get your money back. Very frustrating!

I've been using a Brita water filter for well over a decade without any issues.

I seriously doubt that these water filter companies would use glues that would end up in your water, as that would be counter to what they are trying to do, which is to purify tap water. Please provide some specific evidence to back this claim up, as such speculation can cause undo fear, as well as reputational damage to these companies.

Don't get me wrong here, I am not saying that this isn't possible, but is very unlikely.

I called zero water and they state their filters do not contain gluten or gluten containing ingredients.
