Water filters and gluten

I've been told today by a Rx rep that my water filter may contain gluten by-products in them as she found her's did.  Has anyone else had an issue with their's.

I've never heard of this before, may I ask who told you this, and where in the filter might there be gluten?

I heard this recently, too, but have gotten conflicting answers.

I'd ask that person more specifics, brand, etc. and call the company that makes them.

I have found this to be an issue too! At my work, we have 3 people with celiac. We all thought we were going crazy drinking the water from our filtered water fountain. Turns out when we all stopped drinking it, our symptoms went away. 
I found that life straw water filters cause this, as well as brita and zero water. From what I found it’s the glue that holds the filter together that causes this. I could be wrong though. 
I really want to find a filter that works, but it seems to be impossible to find out without trying it. When you let the companies know that there is a problem, they usually don’t believe you too, so sometimes you can’t get your money back. Very frustrating!

I've been using a Brita water filter for well over a decade without any issues.

I seriously doubt that these water filter companies would use glues that would end up in your water, as that would be counter to what they are trying to do, which is to purify tap water. Please provide some specific evidence to back this claim up, as such speculation can cause undo fear, as well as reputational damage to these companies.

Don't get me wrong here, I am not saying that this isn't possible, but is very unlikely.

      I did a gluten challenge. I ate bread yesterday. I immediately felt horrid. Depressed, fearful, angry.  I also had the weirdest night terrors and "day terrors" (delusions). They were do awful, that I am still terrified. How do gluten impact your dreams?

      Thanks so much for replying!  No I haven't been limiting gluten prior to this test, I didn't know the Dr even tested for it until I got my results. These were the only celiac related pathology that was tested for. I am seeing my Dr on Monday so hopefully she can shed some more light!

      New here as well lots of things learning I’ve discovered lots of foods have sneaky gluten so be mindful how is it going?? I have issues when I do cocktails 🍸 I don’t know if it is gluten free or not but get horrible side effects and so many others ooh well we are all learning how to cope with this….

      Thanks a lot! I will search that too. I also talked to another doctor and she assured me there is no gluten in this type of antibiotics. Anyway i started the administration of Augmentin on my girl this evening. I hope there will be no problems.

      Good afternoon, I don’t know if anyone here has ever tried Braswell’s products like their marmalades or jellies? Are they gluten-free? On the ingredients says “cane sugar, cherries (cherries, cane sugar), strawberries, corn syrup, pectin and citric acid. That ingredient list is from their berry preserve bottle. Most of them say the same for ingredients, but I’m not sure if it is okay to consume.
