This is a strengthening of an already comprehensive labeling regulation. Disclosure of wheat is already required.

The use of the term "gluten-free" is allowed today only if nothing derived from wheat, barley, rye or oats is present in the product.

Vague terms like "vegetable protein" and "food starch" are strongly discouraged under current guidelines. Manufacturers are expected to name the source. So, you typically see "hydrolyzed soy protein" or "modified corn starch."

      I wasn’t clear, glucagon and gadolinium were intravenous. I drank about 5 cups of the prep during 45 minutes. I feel very tired now, probably partly because I was nervous, and partly because I had to fast for 6 hours beforehand and wasn’t very hungry when I got home.

I'm not sure I can keep still for that long with my back issues either unfortunately I didn't know it could take that long 😕

      The solution I had to drink contained sorbitol and mannitol. I was in the MRI, lying on my back, for about 40 minutes. I was given glucagon partway through, and a gadolinium contrast agent. After I got home there was some diarrhea from the prep solution.
