I was wondering if anyone knows if Duet DHA by Stuart Natal are gluten-free. I went to their website and I can't tell if they are or not. I am posting the link to the site. If any of you who are really good at reading labels could check this out, I would GREATLY appreciate it if you could let me know!!!

Thanks! Gwen

Hi Gwen :)

Based on the ingredients listed, it appears to not to have any gluten containing ingredients. The starch they use is corn. However, in any circumstance like this, I would double check with the company. Their phone number is 877.926.6396.

Word of caution: You should not be consuming anything UNTIL you know its gluten free :) If you don't know its status, don't use it or find an alternative, til an answer is found.

Sorry I can't be of more help. When are you due?! :) :) :)

Thank you!! Sooooo...I just called the company and they told me that the only ingredient that a person with Celiac needs to be concerned about is the cornstarch gluten. I really don't know what that means because I thought cornstarch was gluten-free. I tried to look up cornstarch gluten online but couldn't find it...any ideas?

Yes. there products are great. Xanodyne Pharmaceuticals makes Stuart and Duetdha. I take their OTC, Stuart Prenatal, it is the same as DuetDha, but the stuart has a little less folic acid and no dha. I take Expecta for my DHA supplement.

I have been taking their vitamins for 6 months. I am currently 18 weeks pregnant. I have called numerous times to verify the gluten free status of both these vitamins. They are defintely gluten free. They do contain corn gluten, but that is totally fine and acceptable for a celiac! (been living with celiac for 26 years).

Good luck and congrats!!!

      Was the card itself lost or just the record or both?

      The Happy Tart review

      We were flabergasted that the owner would not acknowledge a $50 e-gift card I purchased for my celiac wife. My wife tried to open it in the store and was informed there had been a system change and they could not find the record. No worries, she was told, just talk to management. Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally...

      Ibuprofen

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can...

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce. Something is making my pain so much worse I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs. Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever...

Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally informs me there have been "bad actors", so she can't make good on this lost gift card. In other words, she accused me of lying and committing fraud... over $50! Please be careful with your orders and purchases here.

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can damage the stomach lining if you eat it too often. Especially if your stomach lining is already compromised. Ibuprofen inhibits the body's ability to rebuild the stomach's protective mucosal lining. That's why it can cause peptic ulcers. As strange as it may sound, low level irritation/inflammation stimulates the body to rebuild the stomach lining. There are two steps in this rebuilding process known as COX 1 and COX 2. Ibuprofen represses both COX 1 and COX 2. Celecoxcib, a prescription anti inflammatory, inhibits only COX 2, making it less likely to cause damage to the gut lining.

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen  I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce.   Something is making my pain so much worse  I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs.  Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever would do. I'm fairly new to this. Whatever is going on seems to be worsening  Do people get a withdrawal effect from gluten?  It's extremely painful 😖  I'll post that question or research on the site  Thank you everyone for responding
