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.

      Diabetes like symptoms and more

      Hey Talia4, I still try to stay on the lower end of carb intake but things are way easier for me these days. It really looks like a digestive issue at the core in my case   As supplements with meals I'm now taking 3-4x 650mg betaine hcl without pepsin (to handle larger doses) 1-2x Doctor's Best digestive enzymes   And daily Share Pommelozzini. This has helped my digestion immensely with carbs and fats. I'm way more tolerant of larger meals and things are a lot easier. Happy to hear any progress or findings on your end as well though!

      I think most of us, when we first got our diagnosis, imagined that going gluten free would be the magic the bullet that would restore us to perfect health. We soon find out that it usually isn't quite that simple and that celiac disease has long fingers.

      Thanks! I still have much to learn, I'd hoped going gluten-free would be a magic bullet and I'm learning my system is still very sensitive which is overwhelming and discouraging at times. Thanks for the yogurt tip! There is comfort in knowing that this is common during early healing and I'm not alone!

      Thanks so much for the response. Are you usually able to pinpoint a trigger when you get the pain again? What I didn’t share in my earlier post is that I also usually eat out on weekends (though I share celiacs/needs to be gluten-free) and I’ve also been under a lot of stress lately in my personal life. While I’m speculating that it’s the wine it could certainly be a number of things. Do you ever notice the pain more when you are stressed? Learning so much about the brain/gut connection and celiacs. Thanks, there is comfort in hearing others have experienced similar symptoms.

      This was my main symptom. I still get it from time to time. Also feels like a burning pain on the upper abdomen. I think the wine could definitely cause the pain to be worse. There are do many things I still can't eat.
