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.

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning?

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive...

      Celiac disease symptoms

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange.

      Celiac disease symptoms

      If you have hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event. Have you consulted a physician about your hemorrhoid issue? It's not normal to be having an episode every week unless it is really one episode that is not completely healing between weekly...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.
