I've always recieved mixed answers on whether buckwheat (like this item) is gluten free or not? Please let me know which is correct for this item.

Bob's Red Mills always labels their packages as gluten free IF it is GF. What that means is NOT only is it gluten free (naturally), but is also packaged in Bob's Red Mill's dedicated gluten free packaging facility. If the package does not state it is gluten free, then you are taking a chance of contamination which could have occur during the packaging process. So, if this package does not state it is gluten free, then it was packaged in their NON gluten free facility and could be contaminated.

Everything I read says ...yes, it is gluten free. But that only depends upon the facility if is processed in, if they also handle wheat products Here us a snippet from Celiac.com. Celiac.com 10/18/2013 - Buckwheat, sometimes referred to as kasha, is often billed as a "tasty alternative to wheat." That's all well and good, but is it really gluten-free, and generally considered safe to eat for those who suffer from celiac disease or a gluten sensitivity? The Facts Good news! With its non-wheat status, buckwheat is safely gluten-free. Buckwheat and wheat are, come to find out, actually from completely different botanical families. Derived from the seeds of a flowering plant, buckwheat is not considered a grain or a cereal (though it may be called a pseudo-cereal-don't let that scare you). Buckwheat, in all of its gluten-free glory, is actually closely related to rhubarb. In addition, it is an excellent source of fiber and nutrients. In particular, buckwheat groats (the small, triangular seeds), when cooked, offer 17 grams of dietary fiber or 68% of the daily requirement for a 2,000 calorie per day diet, as well as 22 grams of protein.

Although Buckwheat has the word "wheat" in it, it is not a kernel of grain...it is a seed. I have done a lot of research on it because I have to be careful of what I eat. So yes, it is gluten-free and should pose no problem. I love to eat buckwheat groats boiled in beef broth. It is an excellent substitute for rice and I often eat them with porkchops, steak or use it to stuff chicken wraps or inside burritos and tacos. Sometimes I just eat a bowlful by itself.

True, Buckwheat is NOT wheat - It is considered to be very healthy for you and some consider it a 'whole grain' but some say it is a 'seed' but it is still - Gluten-Free.But to get for information check out http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid;=11 - and I would do more searches online for Buckwheat benefits. Because Buckwheat is Very Very Good for you and can be used for breakfast, lunch, dinner or snacks...

Hi Colleen, sorry it took me so long to respond. Yes this is gluten free and it states it right on the front of the package. We are not celiac, however we do follow a gluten free diet and find this product to be great. I use it to make raw granola.

I am not sure about it being gluten free as it does not state it on the product. Sorry but I wish I could be a help

Yes, it sure is gluten free. This product will come with a "Certificate of Analysis". My certificate indicates that the material is &gt;99% L-Theanine (actually, it is 99.4% L-Theanine). Not much room to put in gluten ;). It is a very good product and I can only recommend it. It is also much cheaper than other L-Theanine products and much easier to dosage. Give it a try - at that price you can't go wrong. L-Theanine doesn't need gluten to have a stable shelf life. If it is stored properly, it has a shelf life of 3+ years. No gluten here...promised!

This is just a hunch. Peas do not come under grain category, so "Im assuming it to be gluten free". Im not an expert, its purely a guess.

I checked a few websites. This does contain wheat as an ingredient so I would say no, it is not gluten free.

Buckwheat, although the word wheat is in the name, is not in any way related to wheat, and therefore is gluten free. Buckwheat is actually related to sorrels, knotweeds, and rhubarb, and has been used in other countries (Japan, China, Europe, etc) for thousands of years, it was originally considered the quintessential peasant dish. Depending on how it is processed however, it may be exposed to gluten if the same machinery is used to process wheat. If you want to make absolutely sure, Bob's Mills sells the grouts, you could use them to grind your own flour.

I am a Registered Dietitian. I don't think there is any corn that is gluten free although they claim to be. Don't want to give too much advice, but there is no gluten free grain.

It says it's gluten free. Gluten is found in grains. You could email the company to ask about its manufacture process.

Hello Lisa, I'm sorry about the delay in responding to you. I do not have the package anymore. I do have another one of their packages of something else and it doesn't look like I see a GF symbol anywhere. I do not recall the potato starch package having one, but could not say for sure. We eat a gluten free diet, but we do not have celiac or anything in which we would have had an immediate reaction if there was gluten in it. I hope that helps, but I don't think it does too much. I'm sorry. I do like company though. Maybe you could ask them directly?

I use this and 4 other products from Healthforce ( VMG, Earth, maca, zeoforce etc.) & they have never had any Gluten in any of them. On the Healthforce.com website you can read about it more. He discloses anything & everything that is in the products. If it doesn't serve a purpose for our good health & body, he doesn't put it in. No fillers or useless ingredients of any kind. Chk out the site, you can be sure of what's in it & what's not. Good luck ~

This particular product does contain wheat germ oil which would make it not gluten free. Some of the other watts products do not contain gluten, like the Watts Beauty Retinol 1.5%, the peptide serum, the signature acne serum, the hyaluronic acid with vitamin c serum, the argangold argan oil or the pure hyaluronic acid serums - both the original and the signature series. I'm not certain of the other products but check the ingredient list for the wheat germ oil. The vitamin e in these products, if it exists, is from a gluten free source. Hope this helps...

Good question, I never thought about it. Swanson's site does not mention whether their product is gluten-free or not; other sites do. As with any natural catalyst, the changes are slow and subtle; I like the stuff. I AM NOT A SOURCE OF NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION - but from what I could find, seaweed can trigger other sensitivities that might appear like a gluten reaction. I am gluten tolerant. I did the elimination diet (see a holistic doctor) to determine my food sensitivities and eat accordingly. Doing it takes all the guesswork about what you should and should not eat.

Hello Joyce, we have the ingredient list on the page, in the "Important Information" Section. We have clarified it highlighting the fact it has wheat, so it is not gluten free. Thank you for your helpful input!
