I have been missing one of my favorite liqueurs, and now have happily recieved this wonderful reply from the company when I emailed regarding their gluten free status! Imagine my happiness that not only did they have an answer, their product has actually been TESTED!!

Hooray! Just in time to still get those holiday gift hints dropped early! lol!

Here is the reply:

Dear Customer,

We are very happy to hear that you like our product and we thank you

very much for it.

Regarding gluten , as you can guess it, we have already had several inquiries

coming from our customers.

What we can say today that we have made a lot of analysis - Made by one

of the leading laboratories from France.

The result is : No detection of gluten at 5 ppm or above.

Below? Impossible to analyse, too minimal. The laboratory has let us know

that the analysis we have made are the ones made today by all the food/drink

manufacturers when asked about gluten.

We hope this answers your legitimate question.

With our best regards - Madeleine P

Was hoping to buy some Chartreuse and was looking to see whether it is gluten-free, and came across your post. How great! And isn't that just about the most charming, reassuring company reply ever? Thanks a lot for investigating and posting two years ago. Also, love your username - my aunt has a dog named Gypsy Moon, Gyp for short.

      Getting sick much more often

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello there! @Jordan Carlson , you said "Now the last 3 ish years I have been sick more than I ever have been in my life. Could it be my immune system was so tired/fatigued prior to diagnosis that it just wouldnt turn on anymore? And now that my stress and inflammation is down its functioning stronger?" I think you may have that backwards.  Your immune system was running in high gear with undiagnosed Celiac Disease, and therefore fighting infections like colds and viruses before you had any symptoms.  Now that you've gone gluten free, your immune system may be depressed and not able to mount a strong immune response to colds and viruses because it is running low in essential vitamins and minerals needed for that immune response.  Hence you have more infections and worse symptoms now.   For strong immune responses, our bodies need vitamins and minerals that may be lacking on the gluten free diet.  Supplementing with essential nutrients boosts our ability to absorb the vitamins and minerals while our intestinal villi are healing in the first few years of recovery.   Many are low in vitamins and minerals that help our immune system, like Vitamin D, Vitamin C, zinc, iron, the eight B vitamins, especially Thiamine, selenium, and magnesium.   Have you talked to your doctor and nutritionist about supplementing with vitamins and minerals?   Correcting nutritional deficiencies is frequently overlooked after diagnosis.

      @trents I do take all the recommended vitamins and excersize regularly. Basically do all things labeled as a healthy lifestyle haha. Thats why I was thinking more this is my immune system now having the energy to fight viruses rather than being too stressed out as I have heard that it is a common thing when your body is over stressed due to underlying autoimmune diseases

      Jordan Carlson, Wheat flour is fortified with vitamins ("enriched") where as gluten free facsimile flours are not. So when you eliminate wheat flour from your diet you may lose a significant source of nutrition. At the same time, gluten-free prepackaged foods are practically devoid of vitamins and minerals, consisting mostly of highly processed high carbohydrate grain substitutes. Lots of rice flour and tapioca. Have you compensated by adding in some high quality gluten free vitamin and mineral supplements? We typically recommend this for new celiacs, especially at the front end of recovery before there has been very much healing of the small bowel villous lining and nutritional absorption is still poor. Edit: I edited my other post to direct it to Sanna King's post.

      Hey there @trents. I wish I could edit my original post. I am talking about getting a cold way more often, not gluten poisoning.

      Reply to Sanna King: As you have withdrawn gluten from your diet you have lost all tolerance to it that you had when consuming it on a regular basis. This is normal. Not everyone experiences it but it is common. It has been my experience as well. When I was consuming gluten every meal every day for years after the onset of celiac disease but before diagnosis I would experience mild GI symptoms like a little occasional diarrhea. After being gluten free for a significant time, any major exposure to gluten would make me violently ill. Hours of severe cramps and vomiting followed by hours of diarrhea. Like when my wife made me gluten-free biscuits and made herself wheat flour biscuits and I got them mixed up and ate a couple. I am not a super sensitive celiac in the sense of being made ill by small amounts of cross contamination but if I get a significant exposure like I just described it is awful.
