Hi,

Does anyone know if Walgreen's brand magnesium citrate is gluten free?

Thanks,

Tim

Welcome to the forum, Tim!

If you don't get any replies to your question from forum members, try reaching out to Walgreens itself at corporate. They can then refer you to the manufacturer they use for that product and you can ask that question. The producer may ask you for a barcode.

I'm not sure if you mean the liquid, but this lemon version looks gluten-free:

If it's not marked gluten free, I strongly recommend not taking it.  Could be gluten free ingredients, but could be processed on shared equipment.  In store brands are generally manufactured by the cheapest bidder.

Many items that are naturally gluten-free don't have this on their label. This doesn't mean they contain any gluten. In general I agree that if given a choice, try to go for things that are marked "gluten-free," or even better, are certified gluten-free, however, there are just too many safe things that would be excluded from your diet if you took this approach.

I second that. You have to evaluate each thing that will go into your mouth/gut on it's own merit. Sometimes you can get more info by contacting the manufacturer.

      Metabolic Meals delivery service

      By Hopeful1950 · Posted

      I am considering using the Metabolic Meals delivery service. They claim to be 100% gluten free. Has anybody used this service? If so, have you had any reactions? Is the food worth the price? Thanks, any input is appreciated

      Extreme bloating even gluten-free

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      If you are looking for a good diet to follow to start your real recovery Dr Fuhrman's Eat to Live, 6 Week Plan is a good choice. Dr. Fuhrman’s 6-Week Nutritarian Diet Quick Start Dr Fuhrman is a Cardiologist who began the Nutritarian diet.  Helped me immensely with understanding nutrition.  Adapt it to GFD. If you can find them Drs Fuhrman, Amen, Davis and Hyman all had recurring annual specials on South Florida Public Service TV.

      Seeking Advice about Fecal Transplant to Treat Celiac Disease

      By MaximilianKohler · Posted

      First of all, you should read this information about SIBO: https://humanmicrobiome.info/sibo. It's a very questionable diagnosis that leads many people to harm themselves with misguided treatments. Regarding celiac, I think it's very likely that FMT can treat it. Have a look through the related research: https://humanmicrobiome.info/intro/#celiac. You will see that multiple studies have shown that "gluten intolerance" is actually intolerance to various other "prebiotic" substances. FMT should be able to restore the microbes required to properly digest/process those prebiotic substances. The main issue I've come across is that stool donors who are good enough to treat or cure any condition are extremely rare. FYI, there is no such thing as "resetting your microbiome". Antibiotics are often the suggestion for this, but they do permanent damage that FMT may not even be able to reverse. FMT is still in the research phase, so I'd be very weary of any doctor claiming to specialize in FMT. Most of the clinical trials are using low-quality donors and getting poor results because of that.   The gut microbiome plays a major role in regulating the immune system: https://humanmicrobiome.info/immune-system/ Furthermore, the gut microbiome also regulates intestinal permeability. And in many cases, it's a permeable gut barrier that allows various particles and microbes to enter the bloodstream, which then triggers an immune reaction.

      Extreme bloating even gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      @hilly Sorry as this is a blind post as I have a lot to do today and haven't read the entire thread.  But I had bad bloating for a while, and at my gastroenterologist's suggestion after a three week trial of going entirely dairy free  I found relief.   I reintroduced dairy gradually and am pretty much OK with it now.  I also found heavy iron supplementation added greatly to bloating.  For me, bloating gets to me either in my lower gut or in my stomach and upper back, and I once thought I might be having a heart attack the pressure was so immense.  I then remembered I'd taken some iron that morning.   If you are on iron, you may wish to try a different supplement.  My GP put me onto much more gentle iron fumarate tablets at one point,  suggesting I took them an hour before breakfast, with water, and that really helped. Also, take a look at the low FODMAP diet.  Although intended for sufferers of IBS, it suggests foods that can help lessen bloating.

      Thanks for drawing our attention to this, Scott.  I have no idea about this in the UK, I think I need to do some more homework!
