What brand of psyllium husk do you use for baking?

I had been using Anthony's Goods brand previously, but they seem to have discontinued carrying it. I am struggling to find a replacement brand that is safe for celiac - not at risk for cross contamination.

I know nuts.com has it, but I have had issues with even their certified gluten-free items so I'm hesitant to try.

Bob's Red Mill also makes it, but they seem to have a mixed reputation amongst celiacs for risk of CC, so I'm also hesitant to try that.

All of the brands I could find on Amazon have reviews from celiac customers that they got sick from CC.

There's a Canadian brand Pure-Le Natural that I've seen recommended a few times, but they don't ship to the US /:

If you bake, what brand psyllium do you use? Even if you use one of the above that I'm hesitant about - if folks here use it without issue then I'd be willing to give it a try.

Thank you!

You are correct about being careful with psyllium. I ordered some psyllium powder from Amazon that did NOT say "gluten-free" on its label but also did not say that it may contain wheat, and it tested positive for gluten with a Nima sensor. I gave it away.

Technically speaking, if it has "gluten-free" on the label it should be safe and below 20ppm, but if you are super sensitive that may not be enough, and you may need "certified gluten-free" if they make one.

You likely saw the same ones I did on Amazon, for example this says gluten-free, but the real issue is that most of it comes from India where there is still very little awareness of celiac disease:

      Maybe you picked up a little intestinal virus? Maybe some ingredient in the gluten free processed foods you've been consuming is causing this. In order to simulate the texture that wheat provides, a lot of gluten free products contain ingredients that may cause digestive distress. Xanthan gum and similar polysaccharides are among the chief offenders.

      Welcome @Ems10, Isn't is wonderful how a simple change helps. Gluten free eating is not a punishment.  It does take attention to details when buying processed foods.

      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!

      Hi. So for a month or two I had been experiencing extreme pain around my left rib going right up to underneath my breast, I went to hospital and the GP many times and one day it just came across my mind maybe I’m celiac/ gluten intolerant (celiac runs in my family)! I instantly stopped consuming anything with gluten (tbh everything I was eating was full of it) and the day I stopped having gluten the pain instantly disappeared, the next day I had a GP appointment about the pain & I informed him it just stopped instantly and explained why I believe I’m intolerant! I’m waiting on test results as of now, however I have still had absolutely no pain whatsoever today I’ve started to have diarrhea which I haven’t had in at least two months, I was severely constipated whilst consuming gluten! Just wondering would this be a symptom of gluten withdrawal? I’ve done a grocery shop from the “free from” gluten section, I’ve been very careful as I’m terrified the pain will start again!

      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.
