Dear Diane Donald:

Thank you for contacting us on the Internet.

Unfortunately, we are unable to supply you with the information that you are
seeking.  Most of our products contain some form of gluten or a derivative of
gluten.  Also, many of our vendor-sourced ingredients may contain a "hidden"
source of gluten of which we would not be aware, due to the proprietary nature
of some formulations.  Please understand that it would be virtually impossible
to analyze every ingredient in every product for these hidden sources of gluten.

We sincerely apologize for being unable to assist you in your quest for
products that can be recommended for persons stricken with Celiac Disease.

Sincerely,

Barbara Edwards.
