I wouldn't trust anything with any extracts of wheat in it. You can just buy guar gum, and use it in smoothies and such. Makes a decent pudding too. However, guar gum is soluble fiber, which has a different effect than insoluble fiber. Which to choose depends on what you want from it. If you simple want more fiber in your diet, without a pronounced change in BM, perhaps a high fiber food would do. Coconut, amaranth, teff, and even green peas are very high in fiber. Foods tend to be more balanced as to the types of fibers they contain, which is supposed to be a more comfortable way to get fiber. IMO, food fiber is much more tasty and enjoyable.

      Dr. Reddy’s Sandoz sumatriptan gluten-free?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If the manufacturer says it contains gluten, then I would definitely go with that over the government website.

      It wasn't the pharmacist. It was the manufacturer. I called Reddy Labs. Reddy Labs said that their Sumatriptan SUCC has gluten in it. The government website information is from December, 2020. So do I trust 4-5 year old information or the information that the manufacturer told me today? Given that it is for my profoundly autistic, developmentally disabled son with celiac disease and migraines who cannot tell me if he suspects he has been exposed to gluten, I went with the information from the manufacturer given to me today. I do wish I had brought them home and run my EZ Gluten and LEOverified test on one of the pills crushed up. But I was so shocked when the manufacturer told me that the pills contained gluten that I put them in the CVS medicine disposal immediately.

      People say lots of things, but the site above is a government website and should have the correct ingredients (perhaps ask the pharmacist where they got their info?).

      They’re a Canadian brand so I’d assume you’d be able to buy from the US. You can buy them directly from their website but also on iHerb.  Hope your daughter feels better soon.
