I would like to know if there is any way to get Wax off veggies so they don't have gluten on them?

Welcome.

I don't know how to remove the wax.

The question has been raised many times and the consensus here is that there is no gluten in the wax.

I'm a believer in soap and water, but my mother uses baking soda an water. I think either or is fine though. Idk if it removes all the wax but your fruit and veggies will be good and clean before eating!

I've only noticed wax on some fruits, and in those cases I've found hot tap water and a vegetable brush usually gets it off. Olive oil soap seems to help with some of these too.

I use hot water and blue Dawn dish soap.

Warm water and ammonia will get it off, but it might not leave a great taste to the veggies.

      gluten-free supplements in Canada

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @Kate1990, I reacted to calcium citrate because it's made from oyster shells and I react to seafood.   I chose calcium malate and chelated calcium.  Be sure to take a magnesium supplement as well, but several hours away from calcium.  Magnesium and calcium compete for absorption.  We need calcium for bones, but magnesium and potassium keep calcium in the bones.   Hope this helps!

      gluten-free supplements in Canada

      By Kate1990 · Posted

      Hi,   I've started taking calcium citrate supplements from Webber Naturals. It says that it contains no gluten, but not that it is gluten-free. I've reached out to the company by e-mail and they have assured me that it is gluten-free. However, I think I'm reacting to it. I've searched everything else I consume and haven't found any possible source of contamination. I've been looking for other supplement brands that would be certified gluten-free and safe and have found a few options, but none of them ship to Canada. Does anyone know where I could buy calcium citrate supplements (apparently calcium citrate is the one that causes the least constipation, and this is an issue for me). Thanks in advance!

      Please help, is this Celiac?

      By Karen Rakhshan · Posted

      I am so sorry for your long-term pain and suffering. My symptoms are very similar to yours. Diarrhea for seven years now. Two doctors told me to take Metamucil. It didn’t help. Stomach pain, bloating and terrible nighttime diarrhea got worse and worse. I only stumbled upon Celiac as a possibility through a 23andMe genetic test which indicated I had the genetic marker for it. I went to my GP asking for the test and was told sure - I’ll give you the order, but you probably don’t have it. Guess what?  My blood work was off the charts positive. So high of a number, in fact, that the gastroenterologist I was sent to confirmed me even before a biopsy.  The gastro visit was just last week. I’ve been gluten free for a month now. Small improvement so far, but I’m hoping to continue healing.
