Hello Listmates,

I just got a gluten crash from the capsule used to make a product at a 
formulating drug store.  They used the vegetable capsule instead of the GF 
methyl cellulose capsule because someone forgot to check the computer and 
note that I am gluten intolerant.

I just did some quick research on the internet on empty caps to see what 
they can be made from and which are gluten free.  They can be vegetable, 
gelatin, methyl cellulose, fish gel, and perhaps other items.  Vegetable 
caps seem to be the most suspect, but don't assume the others are GF.  Most 
sites do not say that their products are GF, but this includes a lot of 
stores as opposed to manufacturers.  One manufacturer lists some that are 
Kosher and GF.

Check to see what your capsules are made of and if they are GF.
