I just got a free sample of this stuff, and I think it takes gall to call it gluten-free. Says so right on the bottle, under "wheat dextrin" and 10ppm gluten. No idea if 10ppm will set me off, but I don't think I'll do the experiment.

Expanding on my original post, do I recall wheat is broken down to wheat dextrin and that is considered safe for Celiacs to consume?

...hum, perhaps it was Irish Dave that posted information on "wheat dextrin". Anyone?

Trust your instincts and stay away. What if we used several products in a day that had low levels of gluten? I have enough problems with accidental contamination. I don't need something I'm taking intentionally to push me over the limit.

      Recurring flu like symptoms after being precribed immune system stimulating drug

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Normal vitamin D range us from 20 ng/ml to 100 ng/ml.  200 nmol/L is the same as 80ng/ml. Minimum vitamin D is based soley on preventing Rickets and osteomyelitis.  Othe research is considered irrelevant insufficnet proof.   My 25(OH)D level is just over 80 ng/dl.  It took 8 years of 10,000 IU a day to get here because Celiac Disease causes low D.  In 1952 the UK banned all vitamin D supplementation due to a error.  Most of the world followed suit.  In the western world vitamin D deficiency ranges from 40% of the US to 60% in the UK. If you had an office with workspace for 30 to 100 workers, but you were restricted to less than 50 workers, how well would the office run.? A factory worker has 40 ng/ml,  A lifeguard has around 80.  Who's immune system works better? Simultaneously, 1,25(OH)2D3 up- and downregulates more than 1000 genes responsible for cellular proliferation, differentiation, a variety of cellular metabolic activities, antiangiogenesis and apoptosis   https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9919777/

      Welcome to the forum, @Mpanknin! Questions like that really have no definite answer. Even if you tested a container of it for gluten content, the test results would only be good for that production batch. Assume it has some degree of CC. A more important question might be, how sensitive are you to minor amounts of gluten exposure?

      blood pressure meds that are gluten free

      By Yvonne Ayers Albers · Posted

      I have Celiac, and I just found out that HCTZ has gluten in it, and also makes you severely constipated versus diarrrhea!!  I need another medicene for blood pressure that is certified gluten free, without the 20 ppm, and doesn't cause constipation, please!!

      Thanks Wheatwacked. My D is normal. I take B12, B6, and a bone health supplement (I'm 67) that has K1, Calcium, Magnesium, and a bunch of other things. But no thiamine. But I will have my doc add it to my next blood draw. Thanks for the info WW!

      Wondering if this is gluten free or not. The only ingredients show garlic. Nothing about where it's processed if there's cross-contamination etc. Anybody know?
