A follow up on Vitamin E, and Trivia

[Yvonne (Vonnie) Mostat, RN]

Vitamin E contains soybeans, wheat germ oil, and tucophenol acetate. You will never know the true source of that Vitamin E you are taking unless you call the manufacturer and ask:   https://redapplestick,com/isvitamineglutenfree. You will get the correct answer and not have to wait online, likely long distance, for your answer.

Did you know that a Saliva test can detect early Dementia, type 2 Diabetes, MCTD. Lupus, Scleroderma, Polymysitis, and Rheumatoid Arthritis?  You might have to insist on the saliva test a little bit with your family physician. Or if you do not know your G.P. that well and he is concerned you might be labelled as Obsessive Compulsive, not knowing how genuinely sick you feel.  Good to know, unless you find yourself obesssing about your symptoms, which we often do.

I found Nature Made D3 labeled as Gluten Free and Nature's Bounty D3 labeled as No Wheat, No Gluten as well as No to several other ingredients.   I've taken both brands over the years without any issues.   Having DH, my body would start breaking out within a few days if they contained Gluten.
