I'm in the same boat with my daughter. She starts high school this fall, too. Going gluten free will do wonders. She has no more abdominal pain, fewer upset stomach, no more migraines and her anxiety is down. If you have follow up appointments, have his vitamin levels and thyroid checked. (I learned that from this group.) She is low on Vitamin D, so I have her taking that daily, as well as fish oil. I also am getting her tested for food allergies. I am finding it difficult to find a pediatrician who understands celiac and am trying to piece together a health care team, more or less. I may try an ND, too. If you do, please let me know how it goes.

      I think the best you will be able to do is to find out if gluten, or at least wheat, barley or rye is an intentional ingredient in a smoke product and only the manufacturer can answer that question. Since smokes are regulated by the AFT and not the FDA, allergens are not required to be declared in the labeling.

      Cigars

      Welcome to the forum, @brian weinstein! Gluten is a protein found in wheat barley and rye kernels. Pectin is a polysaccharide (a very complex sugar) found in the cell walls of fruits and vegetables. It is most commonly used as a thickening agent in food products, particularly jellies.

So, pectin is naturally gluten free. That is not to the same as saying the cigar is gluten free.  Personally, I am reluctant to text you. I think most of us would feel the same way. Too many people already have access to our cell phone numbers.
