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.

so, is vodka not safe?? or is it like ok for some, but not for those who are super sensitive? i never used to be so sensitive but the other day i got itchy after eating nut thins at <20ppm... ?

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.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      Oddly this effect has gone now, just happened yesterday evening, the nerve pain is now back to its usual "unpredictable" random self again - but that was the only time I ever had some mechanical trigger for it, don't know why! There's no (or wasn't) actual pain in my neck - it was inside the leg, but when I looked down, now though, the leg pain just comes...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      I had MRI scan a few years ago showing everything normal, and now it's no longer triggering the nerve pain when I bow my head today - it only seemed to happen yesterday, and that was the only time it happened! Just seemed weird as no movement has caused my usual nerve pain before. It's normally just random.

      Very good pizzeria with small dining room in back of the restaurant. The owner's daughter has celiac & they have gluten free pizza & a gluten free menu. Some items from the regular menu can be made gluten free also. They have a lunch menu which we ordered from & my chicken with spinach & mozzarella over gluten-free penne was delicious...

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      @Aretaeus Cappadocia and @Russ H thank you both for your helpful advice and information. I haven't seen a GI in years. They never helped me aside from my inital diagnosis. All other help has come from my own research, which is why I came here. I will be even more careful in the future.

      @nancydrewandtheceliacclue, you are welcome. After looking at this thread again, I would like to suggest that some of the other comments from @Russ H are worth following up on. The bird-bread may or may not be contributing to what you are experiencing, but it seems unlikely to be the whole story. If you have access to decent healthcare, I would write down...

The bird-bread may or may not be contributing to what you are experiencing, but it seems unlikely to be the whole story. If you have access to decent healthcare, I would write down your experiences and questions in outline form and bring this to your Dr. I suggest writing it down so you don't get distracted from telling the Dr everything you want to say while you have their attention.
