Oh darn. I don't know if I dare use Ricola now :( I loved their Green Tea cough drops. Nothing has ever done as much good for me when Iw as sick.

Are your products gluten-free?

In the United States, there are no established government standards as to what can be considered gluten-free or what is safe for use in celiac patients. Our products contain less than 0.01% gluten. We urge you to share this information with your doctor or to contact the Celiac Sprue Association of the USA @1-877-CSA-4CSA.

I got this reply from Ricola customer service today (11/6/06) regarding the "starch syrup" listed as an ingredient:

"Starch syrup is an aqueous solution, a mixture of glucose, di- and

polysaccharide, which is made through hydrolysis from starch. As raw

material we use the starch from corn (Zea mays L.)."

Corn! So it seems safe...

Ricola's gluten statement is probably CYA, but venture at your own risk. Halls claims that 100% of their products are gluten-free. Some people have had some problems with them though, so again, at your own risk. I can say for certain that Luden's cough drops are fine, but their medicinal properties are somewhat questionable...

      Will do! Here are some other test results from the last few days using the Elisa Technologies tests. All of these products tested Gluten Free, ( or more accurately, under 10ppm)  - Teddies crunchy Peanut Butter  - Philosopher Foods Sprouted Almond Butter - Jacobsen Salt Co Black Garlic Ginger Salt

      Yes, it is important to get 25OHD blood and PTH tested and monitored.  My doctor tests me 4 times a year along with homocysteine and the other blood panels.  Massive vitamin D doses under a doctors care can raise vitamin D level quickly, but those doses wear off in about three months, so either sun or supplementation needs to be instituted in order to not lose the gain.  There have been numerous clinical trials on kidney transplant patients with doses as high a 1.5million IU with no ill effects.  But those are a one time bolus under the care of doctors.  One conumdrus of these really high  dose supplements is a higher incidence of falls.  The answer is that the patient feels so good, they are more active than usual before regaining strength and balance.

      Yes, 50k IU daily would be an a short term front end loading dose for those having critically low levels but you wouldn't want to take it for an extended period.

      That's 20ppm, not 20,000 ppm. https://www.fda.gov/food/nutrition-education-resources-materials/gluten-and-food-labeling "The rule specifies, among other criteria, that any foods that carry the label “gluten-free,” “no gluten,” “free of gluten,” or “without gluten” must contain less than 20 parts per million (ppm) of gluten."
