I went to their website and in the Questions part, there is a question about these containing gluten. The answer they give is no they do not contain gluten. Has anyone tried these? Just wanting to know because my Mom has some she doen't use anymore and was asking me if I could have them. It looks it I can, but I just want to check. Thanks.

I've had them. They taste pretty good and I certainly never had any gluten problems from them. One thing to watch is that if you eat too many - I think if you take in too much calcium in general - you can get constipated. A friend of my mom's did that right after she was diagnosed with osteoporosis and really messed herself up for several days! But I never had that problem eating one or two a day in addition to the calcium I got in my regular diet.

      Other symptoms that Celiac Disease can cause but resemble other diseases so the cause may be misdiagnosed. What Are the Symptoms of Celiac Disease?

      Thanks Scott. They are gluten-free but cross contaminated.

      Hernia symptoms after gluten exposure

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi there @MCAyr I have a small umbilical hernia which came about during my second pregnancy.   I can just about see it, and feel it, when I stand or sit, but it is far less noticeable when I lie down.  I always know when I am putting on weight because I can get pain and burning near the site, funnily enough not on the hernia itself but either side!  I would imagine bloating could cause the same effect as weight gain. In my case I don't think it is my bowel protruding but a bit of fat  - sorry,  I realise this isn't painting a very pretty picture.  But in truth it is scarcely noticeable.  It has never really got bigger in size. I was rather hoping that it could be operated on but here in the UK they don't seem to operate on every hernia anymore.  My GP isn't remotely worried about it. In a way, I should be thankful - it is like an early warning system that I need to go on a diet! Cristiana

      The hernia description would likely be unrelated to celiac disease, but you'd need to get it checked out by your doctor to be sure it's a hernia.
