Gluten Free Supplements

[rutland]

I am so pissed. Since I went gluten free in the summer Ive been trying different supplements that will help me with healing and digesting my food better. I always order my supplements from a discount supplier that sells many of the top brands.

For that past month I was taking a ginger supplement for digestion, I read all the ingredients and fillers and it appeared to be gluten free. I now found out that it contains wheat! Ive been taking this supplement for a month. Its from an herbal company called planetary formulas.

Now Im double checking all my supplements and realized that I take several supplements from a company called Jarrow formulas, I always assumed it was safe because its one of the top selling brands, but when I checked the label it says nothing of being free of the common allergens like many other companies will display on the label. Also it lists all these extra ingredients and I have no idea whats what.

Does anyone know of the company Jarrow formulas and if its a safe company to deal with?

I don't know about that brand, but I just wanted to add that One Source by Perrigo labels gluten free. I found prenatal vitamins at Wal-mart today by them. Woo-hoo! Sorry to hear that you've been glutening yourself. That is SOOOOO frustrating. At least you figured out now what's been plaguing you for the past month. Ugh...

I cannot tell you how many supplements I've given/thrown away in the last few months because of containing one or more of my allergens.

From now on, I only purchase those supplements where the manufacturer lists whats NOT in them. I'm just not willing to call/email those who don't bother to disclose allergen information about their product on the label.
