Hydrolized What Not......

I have been reading labels for fun again... ( not really but .. )

I have forgotten what conclusion we came to ...

If the source of the hydrolized ingredient isnt listed... its coming from wheat.. if its listed say hydrolized starch from corn ...

Its coming form the listed source. and you then have to determine if you can handle the source right ...

So if the source is listed and you arent allergic .. your okay ... but if its not listed .. its wheat and you need to move on ... down the food asile...

In the US, any packaged food item that contains wheat must clearly include the word "wheat" on the label.

Here's some further information on the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act:

The law does not cover rye and barley. I tend to avoid hydrolyzed things in general so I could be wrong, but I've never heard of hydrolyzed rye or hydrolyzed barley (but that's not to say it doesn't exist :huh: )

hydrolized is only a process, just like "modified," so the same rules apply. As mango mentioned, if it is wheat, it has to be listed, and I've never see a barley or rye, either.

This is true but does not make us safe yet, the excerpt is from the link listed:

"A caution:

The Act applies to all product labels created after Jan 1, 2006. Be aware that there will be a transition period of undetermined length during which products that were labeled prior to the law taking effect will remain on store shelves and in home pantries. This is especially crucial for children with food allergies, who may think that all product labels magically changed on the law's effective date."

Labels can be run in very large batches, it is always best to call and identify the source if unlisted.

And, a caveat to that :), would be that the law was signed August 2004, and took effect Jan 1, 2006, so companies had plenty of time to start adjusting---considering that we are now 1 year into the law, and 2.5 years since it was passed.

Not to say that they all did right away, by any means at all, but, this law had plenty of forethought and warning to companies.

Yes, labels can be run in large batches, but the operative idea here is "were labeled prior to the law taking effect ." That is to say, if the product was manufactured on or after that date, it must clearly label wheat. All "old" labelling had to be used up by December 31, 2005, or be discarded. So, anything not subject to the new law must be over a year old at this point. I doubt that there is much left on store shelves.

They don't add wheat, they take a protein, whether it's soy, wheat, corn etc., and break it down somehow using enzymes or acids.

As mentioned above, the hydrolization process partially breaks down the protein. No wheat is added. There is only a concern if the protein was gluten to begin with, which it almost never is. In North America, it is most likely to be soy (which must be labeled in the US as required by FALCPA) or corn.

      Unfortunately not going to be able to let you know how Amneal is working because I still have almost 3 month supply of Mylan.  Had annual appointment with endocrinologist last week (though get scripts for blood work more often) and since was on my last refill, she sent new script to pharmacist.  Staying on my Mylan until it's gone.  (I tend to build up a supply because after trying a couple of endocrinologists for my Hashimotos, one finally got my thyroid regulated by my taking only six days a week instead of adjusting the strength which had me constantly up and down.  Will be forever grateful to her.  Apparently high percentage of folks with Celiac also have Hashimotos so all this relevant/helpful on Celiac.com.

      Thanks for sharing this! Have you started taking the Amneal? I'm curious how it's going for you. My pharmacy gave me the option of Accord, Macleod or Amneal. I didn't realize that Amneal was formerly Lannett, or I might have chosen that one. However, I did read some anecdotal reports that some people had side effects with Amneal, so I chose Accord. I have been taking it for 3-4 weeks and the past 10 days I have developed extreme fatigue/sluggishness, joint pain and some brain fog. I don't know if it is the new levo med, but nothing else has changed. Has anyone else taken Accord levo? Any issues? It seems to fall into the "no gluten ingredients, but we can't guarantee 100%, but it's likely safe category." I'm wondering if it is worth switching to Amneal or at least getting my thyroid levels checked. If the med is causing my symptoms, I'm guessing it's not because of gluten but maybe the potency is different from Mylan and I need different dosing. Accord was recalled for lower potency, but my pharmacist said the pills I have were not part of that lot.

      In 70-year-olds, DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone) levels are significantly lower than in young adults, typically around 20% of youthful levels, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) | (.gov). This decline is a natural part of aging, with DHEA production decreasing from its peak in the third decade of life. While some studies suggest potential benefits of DHEA replacement in older adults, particularly in women, results are not consistently positive across all studies.
