Like glazed doughnuts? That's usually powdered sugar, water and flavoring like lemon or vanilla. Or, a glaze can be thinned out jelly.

What is it on?

Vitamins

Food glazes are additives that provide a protective coating and/or shiny appearance to foods. Generally they are based on a wax like beeswax or some other crystaline wax. Your best bet is to contact the vitamin manufacturer to determine if the product is safe to consume.

Usually vitamins that are coated don't really break down as well. So they don't absorb into your body very well and you don't get as much benefit from them compared to vitamins that are not coated.

Hmmm, I wonder if this is what irritates my gut.

I am not sure but I think some food glaze has gluten. I had a very definite reaction to some Trader Joe's chocolates and the only ingredient it could have been was the food glaze. I don't react to the non-shiny chocolates. I called their 1-800 number and they said the chocolates did have gluten. There was no other place for it to come from.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!

      Welcome @Martha Mitchell, I too would like to know more about your prior lenses, and especially about the potential of gluten in lenses. In theory this should not harm most celiacs, as the autoimmune reaction normally begins in the gut, however, in those who are super sensitive or have dermatitis herpetiformis it may be a potential issue.

      It's most likely going to be a celiac disease diagnosis based on your blood test results, but wait for your doctor to give you a green light for going gluten-free, as they may want to do additional testing. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
