Many Xanthan gums are now made with wheat. Is this one made with another grain and what grain? I am highly allergic to wheat in any form.

Here is the MSDS information from the manufacturer. The last page is probably the one of most use to you.http://www.essentialdepot.com/msds/xanthangum-msds.pdf

Apparently, word is on the Bob's site that it is now produced on lines shared with wheat flour, so it is contaminated with gluten. I would avoid it if you are super sensitive until you can speak with Bob's Red Mill directly to verify otherwise.

I don't know what GMO ingredients are. I am looking at the container and the ingredients list only states pure xanthan gum. The label says it is gluten-free. I hope this helps.

Hi Amelia,There is no wheat in Revive phytoceramides whatsoever. The only place that wheat is mentioned is that "rice is superior to 350 mg of wheat ceramides" in our Amazon product description. You can be assured that our product is gluten free as stated and made from rice. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask. Thank you!

First, it is gluten free because it is Xanthan Gum which is a specific substance.Second, it isn't usually advertised as 'gluten free' for the same reason water isn't advertised as 'coffee free' it would be ridiculous. Xanthan Gum is naturally free of everything except xanthan gum.Like candies advertised as 'fat free' which never contained any fat to begin with, to advertise it as 'gluten free' would be purely a marketing ploy.

Probably it's Gluten Free, however, Xanthan Gum can also be made from corn, which would likely be GMO corn.

Frustrating, isn't it? I've been searching like crazy for buckwheat noodles that don't actually contain wheat gluten myself. I have to think though that the product name is acceptable in the same way 'chocolate chip pancakes' or 'cinnamon rice chex' are acceptable names. They just mean that the ingredient is included. (Still a bummer though!)

Kelly, The product used to be rice derived but we moved to wheat because all of our customers gave feedback that it was more effective. I checked out the title and bullet points to confirm it was switched to wheat. I do see in fact the description still has 1 rice notation in it and I will update it ASAP... Thanks for pointing this out for me !

wheat is a cereal grain. this product is also available in rice capsules if you are allergic to wheat. both are vegetarian.

Doesn't say 'gluten free'? It says, "Free of common food allergens. No corn, lactose, milk, soy, sugar, wheat or yeast. No artificial ingredients or preservatives. Non-GMO, Certified organic. I'm warning you, this stuff is really nasty! I just ordered some new C because I can't even force myself to put this in my mouth! It's powdered and 1 rounded tsp has only 500 mg.

The best ones to purchase and the healthiest I am told by my Doctor are the raw seeds from Mexico, not quite sure why, but they are very good for you. For instance, colon health, digestive system, and so much more. /as far as being manufactured with other allergen foods, I really am not sure. You might check with the seller on this issue.

no idea but it doenst matter if you're not allergic to gluten. if you're not allergic to gluten then its fine. its not the gluten in wheat that's bad for you. its the gliadin that's not great for you. just wanted to point that out ( im a nutritional counselor) PS - if there is gluten in it, it would be such a miniscule amount that it wouldn't matter even if you were allergic

I see that nobody has answered your question. Since I'm just getting around to ordering my first bottle of Tamari, I'm reading everything on those which Amazon carries and I see exactly what you are asking about. In the list of ingredients of this particular bottle of Tamari on this page, it DOES list organic wheat as the last ingredient. I'm not aware of a gluten-free wheat, so this does present somewhat of a dichotomy. I expect the purchasers who have already answered this question are reading right off their bottles and either the seller or Amazon has made a simple mistake in their description. I hope someone will provide another answer for both of us. I see that nobody has answered your question.

Spelt is NOT gluten free. It most certainly contains gluten, and is NOT for Celiacs. However, non-celiacs who are wheat intolerant can often eat spelt without a reaction. My husband has terrible allergies to many grasses. He had to have his sinuses re-carved/formed because they had all filled in due to so many years of terrible inflammation - that's how bad his allergies are, not to mention the steroids and other meds he has used for years to try to control his allergies. He started seeing a naturopathic doctor in 2012 who put him on an elimination diet, and found that he is allergic to wheat - which is a GRASS. Now that he has gone wheat free, his nose gets painfully inflamed and congested (like it always did) when he so much as consumes regular oats (which are contaminated with wheat), or anything contaminated with wheat. Gluten free oats do not bother him. He hardly uses his meds any more, which is remarkable! The ND explained that the allergy to grasses combined with the wheat(a grass) in the diet, has an additive effect, which is why his nasal response has been so profound. So, he has found that spelt is okay and does not bother his nose. So, he is not gluten free so much as wheat free, but since most gluten in products is from wheat, he can't have any of that without feeling the effect. But spelt seems to be fine. We are going to try Einkorn wheat soon and see if he tolerates that. Again, spelt is NOT gluten free, but for non-celiacs it may be okay for wheat-intolerant people. I assume that if spelt was processed on equipment that processes wheat, it would be problematic for my husband.

This is made from Durum wheat and called Semolina when ground. It is high protein (gluten), though not GMO, similar to Kamut which would work well for bread if used 50/50 with a lower gluten flour like Spelt or Rye. You would get a very high rising bread with wheat flour. I hope this helps.

It contains Vulgare (wheat) Bran extract. This appears near the end of a very long list of ingredients. I am wheat intolerant and it does not have any affect on me that I have noticed. That might be because it is a small amount of extract in it, but I certainly don't know that for sure. It is unfortunate that they "think" they need it as an ingredient. I am sure it would not be missed at all if it were excluded.

So from my understanding the type of gluten that causes reactions in those with celiac disease and gluten sensitivity occurs in the grains - i.e., the seeds - produced by the grass plants wheat, barley and rye. Pure wheat grass and barley grass (just the grass, with absolutely no seeds) do not contain gluten. But you might want to double check this.
