      A brand new formulation (with red banner marking "new dosage") now is
NOT completely gluten free; it contains wheat dextrin, but in an amount less
than 10 ppm.  The threshold for gluten in a product will probably be
determined to be 20 ppm. this month by the FDA. I warned Benefiber rep that
when celiacs learn of some gluten, they will probably not buy this product,
even though the FDA thinks this is a safe amount.  The Capsules and caplets
are NOT gluten free.  The status of the powder with calcium has not been
determined.
