I have the soft bouillon cubes from Knorr and I don't see any gluten-free labeling on them. Does anyone know the status on these?

Knorr...yeah do not use them. I contacted them years ago after issues...they said they can not promise gluten free and they constantly change their sources and ingredients to improve their product. Look at using Stocks like Pacific, Kitchen Basics instead. I heard at one point Better then Bullion was good. And there was one other gluten free one I will look up later if I can.

They are labelled gluten free here in the UK and I've had them without problem. Of course please don't assume that applies to other territories!

We use the Herb Ox brand all the time without problems. https://www.amazon.com/Herb-Ox-Bouillon-Chicken-3-33-oz-Gluten/dp/B0005ZVGJY

and Better the Bouillon too https://www.amazon.com/Better-Bouillon-Chicken-Vegetable-Variety/dp/B06XNZ6F9C/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?s=grocery&ie=UTF8&qid=1514660426&sr=1-1-spons&keywords=better%2Bthan%2Bbouillon&th=1

We use Herb Ox just fine - 

I do not believe that Better than Bouillon is gluten free.  Can't remember what on the labelling made me avoid it, but I'd love to try it if someone can tell me I'm wrong.

I'm so confused. I eat it all the time, at least the chicken one. I just read the label and there's certainly nothing to indicate it contains gluten.

check out the label here https://www.amazon.com/Better-Than-Bouillon-Chicken-Base/dp/B000VDSS3C

I can't remember, but it was a few years ago and maybe it had Maltodextrin in it, or maybe it was the 'flavorings' - which I never eat unless it's from a company like Kraft or McCormick that labels clearly.  But given that you eat it safely, maybe I'll contact the company for a clear answer.

Be careful. Even though it reads gluten free in some of the bouillons. There is yeast extract in some them. Be sure to read ingredient’s.

Please check there is no yeast extract. I was looking at them yesterday and there are some that have it.

      Schar's products contain wheat!

      I have enjoyed Schar's gluten free products for years. However, some items Do contain Wheat and are not clearly labeled on the front. Indeed the package states 'gluten free' on the front, and it is not until you read the ingredient label that one see's wheat as the first ingredient. Some celiacs may be willing to take a chance on this 'gluten free...

      Thiamine Mononitrate is "shelf stable" and won't break down easily when exposed to heat, light and over time. This makes it very hard for the body to absorb and utilize it. Only thirty percent is absorbed, less is utilized because it takes additional thiamine to break it down. Thiamine Hydrochloride is great. Benfotiamine is wonderful, too. Retaining...

      @Known1, Search for "niacin flush fades the longer you use it" and "Niacin flush worse if deficient". It takes a couple to three weeks for the body to adjust and you're at that point now, so things should improve. Riboflavin makes the neon color, which glows under black light. If not absorbed, excreted. Absorption of riboflavin will improve...

      The conversion factor for mg/dl and mmol/L is 18. So 5 = 90, 7 = 126, and so on. In the US, blood sugar regulations now are the same as what we use in the UK except for this difference in units.

Indeed the package states 'gluten free' on the front, and it is not until you read the ingredient label that one see's wheat as the first ingredient. Some celiacs may be willing to take a chance on this 'gluten free wheat', but not me. I strongly feel that the labeling for these wheat containing products should be clearly labeled on the front, with prehaps a different color and not using the 'no gluten symbol on the front. The products are not inexpensive, and also dangerous for my health!

Riboflavin makes the neon color, which glows under black light.  If not absorbed, excreted.  Absorption of riboflavin will improve as the body starts healing the intestinal lining and villi grow back.   You could skip the multivitamin instead.

      The conversion factor for mg/dl and mmol/L is 18. So 5 = 90, 7 = 126, and so on. In the US, blood sugar regulations now are the same as what we use in the UK except for this difference in units. In terms of how they compare in the past, the numbers today that I quoted are stricter than they used to be. Blood sugar numbers for +1 and +2 hour postprandial are measured from the beginning of a meal in these official numbers. In regards to the thiamin supplement I have: it says it is thiamine mononitrate. I had not until now been aware there were different types (it seems I find that is the case with everything, including the magnesium I take!) and this one I have is the only one available in my local stores. I know it makes my pee smell strong when I take it which would seem to indicate my body is absorbing enough that the remainder gets ejected, but I could be wrong. Of course, I'm willing to try anything reasonable to correct this long standing condition, whatever it might be so I will try and get thiamin hydrochloride. Back on the note of diabetes (potentially) I haven't had the blood test for a while and I did notice ingrown toenail type infections a few times in the last 3 years that kept coming back. I heard that diabetes caused high urination. But eating sugar and elevated blood sugar causes the opposite in me. If I eat a lot of sugar I retain water, like big time. If I ate a bunch o sugar in the afternoon say, I can produce little enough urine that I can go over 12 hours and have nowhere near enough urine to need to void in that time or longer which seems abnormal.
