Hi everyone,

Before I give/dump these on a friend, I wanted to see what people thought about whether or not I should continue to consume this flax seed. I say continue because only today did I turn the package around and read (bought the FS before I was diagnosed). It says "manufactured in a facility that uses milk, soy and wheat products. Good manuf. practices are used to prevent introduction of these or any other unlabeled allergens in this product."

CYA. So probably I'm ok, no?

Thanks!

Maybe yes, maybe no - might be worth calling them up and seeing exactly where the wheat is. If it's the same line...could be more of an issue.

Based on my happened ot me, I'd say keep it, but stop eating it for a while, and then intro. it back in. If there's not change, the batch you have is fine. If they don't share lines, then it's more likely that future batches might be okay.

I used a different product of theirs, lots of their oils, and I had to dump my spectrum oils in the end, actually. I was using them fine, and then bought a new bottle for one of them. I didn't connect it at first to why I was feeling crummy all the time. Turns out their oil line processes unfiltered wheat germ oil on it, and because it's unfiltered, that ups the chances of intact gluten being in it.

So I made it through fine once, but not twice. We just gave away all of ours, because I didn't want to get sick, and if it got me once I figured the odds were not good, ya know?

UPDATE: I got the ole to be on the safe side routine...basically "if you have a severe wheat allergy...." don't consume them in other words! This is so frustrating! Where in the world can I buy gluten-free nuts and seeds in a brick and mortar store??

Nutsonline has a selection of Certified Gluten Free nuts, seeds, flours and candies.

I have used them and have not gotten sick.

      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?

      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?
