Celiac daughter bought CVS multivitamins today... buy one-get one free! The label said Gluten free, dairy free and lots of other "free" stuff... gluten being the only important one to daughter. On an impulse, she went to their website to find a completely different ingredients, including GLUTEN... not maybe gluten in something... but GLUTEN as an ingredient!

She called their "Customer Care" line and the woman on the phone was completely noncommittal... "Gee, they're not SUPPOSSED to have gluten... I wonder why gluten's listed in the ingredients??"

Daughter told her she'd be taking the vitamins back and that they'd better get their labeling and website straight because it was a matter of becoming VERY sick!!

Beware!! :blink:

I bet it's a spell checker typo and was supposed to be lutein, glutamine, or some other nutrient. :blink:

I would go by the label on the bottle and not what it says on the website. Websites can contain old information.

      The Happy Tart review

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

      The Happy Tart review

      By Francis M · Posted

      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 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.

      Ibuprofen

      By trents · Posted

      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.

      Ibuprofen

      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
