What is this product made from, wheat or chicory? The original Benefibre is Inulin (a vegetable fibre from chicory). I am gluten intolerant.

It's wheat dextrin, and the label says gluten free. I am very sensitive to gluten (in wheat, oats, barley, malt...) and this poses no issue for me. Works great!!

It IS in the ingredient. Check under "Digestive Enzyme & Active Culture Pre & Probiotic Blend" section:F.O.S. (Fructooligosaccharide from Chicory Root), Lactobacillus Acidophilus, Protease (Aspergillus oryzae), Amylase (Aspergillus oryzae), Lipase (Aspergillus niger), Lactase (Aspergillus oryzae), Cellulase (Trichoderma reesei)

Cafix Ingredients: Roasted Barley, Chicory, Malt, Figs, Red Beet Concentrate. The can does not say Gluten Free. I believe there is gluten present in barley. You can google these ingredients to find out. Also, you can send an email and ask them directly. www.cafix.comBest Wishes!

Evidently, a lot of plants produce inulin - wheat, bananas, onions - according to wikipedia, more than 36,000 plants make inulin. Chicory, agave and jicama produce more than most plants. 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.

Hi Theresa. Sorry I'm just getting to this. This product is gluten-free, but this is the ubiquinone CoQ10. If you're over fifty, you want to get the one with ubiquinol in it because it's more effective, they say. This company makes both but the latter is more expensive.

Gluten is found in wheat flour. In what situation would raw nuts have wheat in them? If you are eating gluten free, you should at least have a basic understanding of what gluten is and why this is a silly question.

Although, it does not say gluten free, the label says "Ingredients: Inulin, lo han (monk fruit) concentrate, silica". I try to avoid gluten and have not had problems with it. I heard about it through Dr. Oz, who recommended it. I use it and like it for a sweetener. I hope that helps.

I would say "no" since it doesn't indicate it on the jar. In looking up "gluten free" it states under "no" barley prevents it from being gluten free (Barley and malt, which is usually made from barley, malt syrup, malt extract, malt flavoring and malt vinegar.). The jar shows "yeast extract (barley)" under ingredients. Also, the jar shows "maltodextrin" which could fall under (1) malt and (2) Dextrin, (can be made from wheat) This is the best I can do.

I am not gluten intolerant so I can not say for sure but from everything that I read coffee and chicory are both gluten free. It also looks like Cafe D Monde brand is considered gluten free on sever "gluten free" websites. Some Chicory coffees add roasted barley which has gluten and leads to some confusion about Coffee and Chicory.

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.

I "think" Better Than Bouillon is gluten free. (As I understand it gluten comes from wheat products.) I have a number of their products and I see ingredients like soy protein, potato starch, and Maltodextrin (from corn) which I'm guessing is OK for you. On one product there is a reference to food starch but there is no explanation as to where the starch comes from. BTW, I love the products.

Hi Stargazer. Thanks for your question. This product is derived from wheat. Please let us know how else we can serve you.

this is in addition to my previous response, isomalt is a sugar, and so is Xylitol, a sweetener. I don't see there is anything derived from wheat in this formula.Bongo should address this directly with Biogaia to see if it is made in a gluten-free facility to be sure.

The only thing I can find on the bottle is "phytoceramides (from rice)". Nothing about gluten or wheat.
