Hi All!

I Just called the emergen-c company to see if their new lemonaide flavor was gluten-free. I had seen on this site before that only the orange flavor was gluten-free, but I just talked to their customer services and she said that they are ALL flavors are gluten free "containing no wheat, rye, barley or oats".

Pretty cool!

This is correct. I had not seen this post when I just happened to call them today. I called because last year their raspberry flavor said "contains: Wheat" on the ingredient lable.

I was told they thought at that time one of the ingredients was wheat-derived and therefore were required to post it on the ingredient information. They found out they were wrong. Since then, they have conducted a study, researched their suppliers, and confirmed their entire line is gluten-free. In addition they brought in scientists to do gluten testing. There is no chance of cross-contamination and they can say with 100% certainty all their flavors and products are safe.

Their website now states all Emergen-C are gluten-free under their FAQ's section.

Oh that news could not have come sooner - the recent cold(er) weather in the midwest seems to have gotten everyone at work sick.

Thanks for the info!

I just called about Emergen-C Super Orange and learned the same as above, indeed gluten-free.

I learned also that my Super Orange is casein-free and soy-free as well, for those also working on CF and SF.

She did say that some of their products might contain a little soy and that it should say on the packaging if so.

Their phone number is 1.888.425.2362 (Alacer Corp) if you want to double-check your favorite flavor.

I hope this information is still accurate because according to their website they do not actually test the end product. Open Original Shared Link

Are your products free of Gluten?

  • We do not use Gluten during the manufacturing process. However, we are unable to confirm its presence or absence as the end product is not tested for gluten

      Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Some people react to the Casein in dairy the same as to gluten, like me.  I avoid dairy avidly because I get ataxia so bad. Some Celiac people produce tTg 6 antibodies in response to gluten or casein.  tTg 2 antibodies are what blood tests for Celiac measure.  tTg 6 antibodies are also found in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, contributing to ataxia.  Have you been checked for tTg 6 antibodies?

      False blood test positive?

      I agree that you were not eating sufficient gluten prior to your endoscopy.

      Hi Knitty Kitty,  Thanks for sending all of these articles.  Some of them are too complex for me to parse.  That said, I had extensive blood tests done when the ataxia started.  I was a little low on Vit. D.  My doc thought I might be low on Vit. K.  But no.  K levels were completely normal as were all of my B Vits. levels.  I take a D supplement but even with that, if I have lactose, I start to feel my head get inflamed.  It is what it is.

      @Soleihey, Do get checked for thiamine deficiency.  Blood tests for thiamine deficiency are not accurate.  You can have "normal" levels in the blood, but still be deficient because thiamine stores inside cells are depleted.  Thiamine deficiency can cause ataxia, tremor, muscle twitching, leg weakness, constipation, and slurred speech.  I had these symptoms and more that did not resolve with a one a day type vitamin.  I needed high doses of Thiamine to correct the deficiency.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Pregnancy can deplete thiamine stores.   Interesting Reading: Thiamine deficiency disorders: a clinical perspective https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8451766/
