I don't think you need to be concerned about sports tape. Just wash your hands after handling it.

Trents may be correct, but my approach is if you can find the same item without gluten, why not go that route? Gluten is used in making many commercial glues, but I doubt sports tapes are required to list their ingredients. To find a gluten-free one may require you being willing to call various companies about this. If you find a gluten-free version, please share it here.

Reached out to KT tape to see if they have current info about their adhesive. They claim it’s gluten free these days. Nervous to try it since you leave it on for multiple days.

Hi,
 
Thanks for reaching out to us, I'd be happy to help with any questions you may have about our tape.
 
KT Tape uses a medical-grade adhesive, contains no-known-allergens (including gluten) and it does not contain latex nor any medications, additives or preservatives.
 
We appreciate you reaching out, hopefully this information is helpful. Let us know if there's anything else we can assist you with, and have a good day!

      Bloodwork Help for my Teen

      Is it worth it to remove gluten before they potentially do an endoscopy & biopsy? I thought I read it’s best to be eating gluten for 3 months prior to it. So hoping they have a cancellation and call us in sooner.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By Aleda D · Posted

      Thank you for the warning. I get blood tests twice a year to check where I stand with the vitamins I regularly take, so I appreciate the extra reminder. I know some vitamins don’t build up but now I will watch the B6 for sure.

      High dosage of B12 gave me life.

      I think you would do well to take a high potency B-complex such that you get more balanced dosage across the spectrum of B vitamins. They work in concert.
