I wrote to the Truvia company to find out if the "added ingredients" in 
their natural sweetener made from Stevia are Gluten Free.

Message: Is Truvia Gluten Free?  I have Celiac Disease and cannot 
tolerate any ingredients containing wheat, barley, rye or derivatives of 
these grains. The newest information on Celiac tells us that about 1 in 
every 120 persons has Celiac here in the US. Celiac is an intolerance to 
the gluten protein found in the above grains or derivatives of these 
grains.  Thanking you in advance for your information!  For further 
information on Celiac Disease go here:  www.celiac.org or www.celiac.com

Good Afternoon Lynda,

The natural flavors are compounds that come from natural sources and are 
used in small amounts to enhance the flavor of the sweetener. Truvia 
natural sweetener contains a proprietary flavor system that does not 
contain any of the major known food allergens such as: wheat, soy, milk, 
eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, fish or shellfish.  Truvia is caffeine free, 
gluten free, contains no MSG and is safe for people with diabetes.

Thank you

My Question:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That first sentence is a duzy.  However, they do claim GF status.  This 
is a very new product, but I'll ask you anyway... Anyone on the list 
tried this yet?  I like stevia, but I've not tried this product yet.

Sincerely,
Lynda Swink
