so dont "quote" me on it- it is much safer if you always call each individual company yourself to get clear answers.

that being said... i use some products from Boiron and ive called them to ask if they were gluten free- and they said yes. i dont know if ALL their products are gluten-free or just the ones i take.. but i dont have any reaction to them at all.

i also take stop smoking homeo tablets from Nutrabio and i dont react to those either.

still- you should call the company of what you want to buy to make sure

The ones made from alcohol are often another matter. I finally found out why homeopathics never worked for me--the gluten from the grain based alcohol! Even most vodka (though not all) is made using glutenous grains.

You would think they would make a different choice, eh?

For the the tabs and pearls I was probably bothered by the lactose...

Here's another vote for staying away from the liquid ones that are made with alcohol. I had a definite gluten reaction to one brand. It didn't occur to me at the time that the alcohol could be made from grains and I won't make that mistake again!

Count me in on that vote also.

It depends on the person. For some distilled grain alcohol is fine, for others (like me and some others here) it is not.

For someone who makes homeopathics however I would think such a person if anyone would easily get the point of how just a small ppm of gluten can affect some of us quite strongly. Why the homeopathic companies haven't realized this is kind of beyond me since many of them are based in either Canada or Europe where gluten intolerance and celiac are more widely known.

Thanks for the info! Makes a lot of sense. I'm usually one the liquid ones for skin problems and it makes my skin brake out badly, I was always told the body is getting rid of toxins but it will only go better again once of the meds. The last time I was on these meds my skin starting itching severly and got a bad reaction after only taking a little bit.

I always call and verify. I use homeopathics from Native Remedies, I have had no problems with them. It will clearly state it on there too on their label if a product is gluten-free, it will say gluten-free. I don't get anything with alcohol or lactose.

      @trents thank you for that information. My parents feel that cooking flour in toaster isn't a thing as its already cooked product before made? but Airbourne particles is my fear. Like I have had symptoms from 6 meters away had to leave massive migraine.

      Yes, except for the most sensitive, cross contamination from airborne gluten should be minimal. Highly sensitive people may have nutritional deficiencies.

      Should not be a problem except for the most sensitive celiacs. The amount of gluten that would get in the air from cooking alone has got to be miniscule. I would be more concerned about cross contamination happening in other ways in a living environment where others are preparing and consuming gluten-containing foods.

      Yes, except for the most sensitive, cross contamination from airborne gluten should be minimal. Highly sensitive people may have nutritional deficiencies.  Many times their bodies are in a highly inflamed state from Celiac, with high levels of histamine and homocysteine.  Vitamins are needed to break down histamine released from immune cells like mast cells that get over stimulated and produce histamine at the least provocation as part of the immune response to gluten. This can last even after gluten exposure is ended.  Thiamine supplementation helps calm the mast cells.  Vitamin D helps calm the immune system.  Other B vitamins and minerals are needed to correct the nutritional deficiencies that developed while the villi were damaged and not able to absorb nutrients.  The villi need vitamins and minerals to repair themselves and grow new villi. Focus on eating a nutritional dense, low inflammation diet, like the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, and supplementing to correct dietary deficiencies.  Once your body has the vitamins and minerals needed, the body can begin healing itself.  You can have nutritional deficiencies even if blood tests say you have "normal" blood levels of vitamins.  Blood is a transport system carrying vitamins from the digestive system to organs and tissues.  Vitamins are used inside cells where they cannot be measured.   Please discuss with your doctor and dietician supplementing vitamins and minerals while trying to heal.
