GoodBelly is wheat free - not gluten free. GoodBelly uses oat flour as the basis for growing the probiotic. We use a small amount of barley that assists the oats in the culturing process. We have had GoodBelly tested for gluten and have found consistently that gluten is not detectable... even at the 20ppm (parts per million) level. However, we will still not make a claim that GoodBelly is gluten free, as it contains those traces of gluten from barley malt. What probiotics are used in GoodBelly? There are two clinically tested, active strains of probiotics used in GoodBelly. Lactobacillus plantarum 299v (Lp299v) and Bifidobacterium lactis (B. lactis).
