Vegetable Cellulose

I have been going through my supplements, checking for gluten.  It has been a while since I have spot checked my supplements, so I figured now was a good time (I take about 80 supplements, maybe more a day).  I keep seeing Vegetable Cellulose on many of my supplements.  I cannot find anywhere that states whether this substance is gluten free or not.  I am in a panic because so many of my supplements have this ingredient in them.  I am hoping someone can help me.  I would appreciate any advice/help anyone can offer regarding whether vegetable cellulose has gluten.  Thank you in advance.

Generally a corn derived ingredient or something else, it is in many gluten free ones also. >.< I have other issues with it in moderate amounts but never a gluten reaction.

Thank you!  I also have a corn allergy, so I guess I am going to be finding an alternative for about a 1/3 of my supplements.

I found with mine that had it were using it in the capsules. So I just pour the powder in a shot glass and down with a chaser. My corn allergy never flared to the capsules so I assume they lack the proteins that trigger my issues (blood blisters in mouth, swelling tongue throat to corn). They just formed a film on top of my stomach contents that would trigger vomiting later.

How bad was the taste?  I have a problem with vomiting from several rounds of chemotherapy.

It can be much easier to purchase only those supplements that are marked gluten free or even certified.  That way, you can be assured that the product is really gluten free (or meet the gluten free definition).  It might give you some piece of mind, especially if you are sick.  Consider working with a compounding pharmacist if you also have a corn allergy.

I am lucky in that none are bitter, many are earthly or meh, I do have one that is super sour like one of those warhead candy sour from my childhood.
Sorry about the chemo that is annoying, chemo will blunt the villi just like active celiac so healing is going to be a uphill battle til your done. I know there is a medical beverage to help with it by Enterade.

      Black Pepper Reactions

      Very helpful. Oh yes, I am quite fastidious about not falling off the diet. It's just that the list of things I must add to the restrictions seems to grow.

      By Barcino · Posted

      I know this post is old but was wondering if you ever resolved this. My son is in the same situation. Villi healed but gastritis / duodenitis remain and calprotectin elevated. Now testing for crohns which I am freaking out about.

      Black Pepper Reactions

      I did a little research and one kind of aphthous ulcer (aka, canker sore) is the Herpetiform canker sore. It is well-known that celiac disease can cause a skin rash known as herpetiformis dermatitis. I can't help but wonder if there is a connection. Celiac disease is also listed in this article as a cause for canker sores: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/canker-sore/symptoms-causes/syc-20370615 Are you observing a strict gluten free diet? You might also look into reducing iodine consumption as that is known to help with herpetiformis dermatitis. Perhaps it will help with your canker sores as well.

      Coping with celiac

      Do you wear an M-95 mask left over from the pandemic when you handle flour? Do you eat out in restaurants? Do you take vitamins?
