I just phoned Citracal to inquire about the gluten free stats of  
their products. Cireical is manufactured by Mission. The Citrical  
consumer person stated that there were no gluten ingredients, but it  
was made in the Mission facility which could be making other gluten  
containing products. Bayer owns Citracal now. We had previously had  
trouble with Bayer because their low dosage aspirin was not  
guaranteed gluten free. Bayer has also contacted with Novartis for   
another product for osteoporosis.

Once again I find a situation of planned ignorance by manufacturers.  
A company as big and powerful as Bayer could certainly write  
specifications which would make sure products were truly gluten free.  
They could certainly arrange for testing.
