Best Gluten-Free CBD Edibles

Best Gluten-Free CBD Edibles, drops, and creams are finally here!  Now you too can enjoy the effects and benefits of CBD as a gluten-free soul.  CBD does not get you high; instead, it provides anti-inflammatory effects as well as promotes relaxation, aches and pains, and anxiety-free living.  Are you ready to try this wonderful natural product?

I first heard about CBD from my mom.  Crazy, right?

CBD is wonderfully healing and can be used in a variety of ways for autoimmune disease, anxiety, fatigue, sleep issues, chronic illness, Cancer, Celiac, chronic pain, and other conditions on a bio-individualistic basis.  CBD also serves our muscle spasms, back pain, rib pain, PMS cramps, cure hangovers, and regulate sleep rhythms.  Who knew, right?!

And yes, for those who are wondering, it's totally and completely legal in the U.S.  The best types are the ones that are organic and natural, with very few, if any, flavors or additives.  You also want to choose one that has undergone third-party testing and a company that discloses its testing.  You are looking at a 2-3 ingredient list for a tincture, and that's it.  As for the gummy, you'll see sugar as an added ingredient, and that's okay, it's a gummy bear.

Gluten-free CBD edibles and oils do exist!

WHAT IS CBD, AND WHAT IS IT USED FOR?

• CBD is the second most-produced Cannabinoid in the plant besides THC.
• For sleep issues, it works the way natural melatonin works, but BETTER.  CBD is a natural swap that fares well on the body.
• In fact, we have receptors for CBD in our body, so that means when we take it into our body, our body recognizes it and can absorb it.
• Important for our overall well-being.
• Used for anxiety alongside a regimen for anxiety.  Meaning in addition to, and not in place of.
• Also used for pain: back pain, muscle pain, hip pain, sleep, and relaxation. streamlining your day, at the office, at home, for nervousness, cancer pain, chronic illness, autoimmune disease, stress, and more!

WHY MIGHT CBD WORK FOR YOU AND NOT OTHERS?

• CBD will feel different for everyone because it is based on a host of factors such as absorption, dosage, quality, and whether the product is full-spectrum hemp or a CBD isolate.
• The feelings you get from CBD depend on the amounts and ratios of cannabinoids like CBD, CBG, CBC, CBN, and terpenes that are present in the plant and in the oil.
• In addition, if you have accidentally tried non-gluten-free CBD edibles, it may not work on you as well as others who don't have a compromised immune system.  If you have Celiac Disease or an intestinal condition, absorption may be your culprit.  This doesn't mean it won't ever work on you; it just means you need a higher dosage and a different brand.

Unlike its counterpart THC, CBD is legal in all 50 states and is THC-FREE.  That means you can't get stoned or high, and it won't show up in a drug test, because this is the non-drug part of the plant.

You can buy CBD at your local bodega, BUT you want quality.  And you want to make sure it's gluten-free.  So don't buy it at your local bodega.  Grab your new favs from my list or do the research.  I say this with love. I don't want you to get sick!

The following list is a list comprised of the best gluten-free CBD edibles and drops, where I buy them, and which brands I like the most.

DOSAGES:

Like anything, the dosage is important.  You are not meant to get "high" from these products.  At most, the more you take, the more tired, less anxious, pain-free, and relaxed you'll feel.  I know when I've taken too much because I start to tear profusely, and I get exhausted!  Experiment.

My perfect oil tincture dose varies according to the brand.  I mostly take 2 full droppers of the tincture or 2-3 gummies.  If you are new to CBD, check with your doctor, and go slow.  Everyone is different, and each person reacts differently to CBD.

With CBD growing as a healing supplement, it's MORE wider range than ever!  You want to make sure your source is pure, gluten-free, and effective.

**I have either called every single company on this list to personally speak to them about their products and if their products are Celiac safe, and what their manufacturing process was, or I have scoured their websites, tested these products with Celiac Disease, and had zero reaction.  There were quite a few bloopers, I'll say, with brands not knowing what gluten was, or making jokes about sandwich bread crumbs.  I left those off this list entirely and didn't even bat an eyelash.

Then there were some brands I tried that have made it to my caution list.  I'll explain those in more detail below.  But for now, here is the best of the best where you can feel safe with gluten-free edibles and tinctures.

GLUTEN-FREE CBD EDIBLES, OINTMENTS, TINCTURES:

WILD FLOWER CBD - Adding this new one to my favorites list because this CBD brand is perfect for everyday use, during the day, at work, at home, at an event, and even for sleep.  You're not altered, you're just relaxed.  And when you are relaxed, is when you can get a lot accomplished in a stress-free way or have the best night's sleep.  I enjoy 2 full droppers.  But I at first started with 1.  They also have a CBD pain stick that my wellness center sells for body pain.

CBD CLINIC - Pro-Sport Series: Level 5 - STICK -  You'll want level 5, which is the highest level hemp ointment for topical use.  I've had clients use lower levels, and it just doesn't cut it.  Any level other than level 5 does not do the trick for chronic pain, chronic injury pain, or just back pain.  The CBD used inside this product also happens to be Charlotte's Web CBD, which is listed below, well-sourced, and most practitioners use this brand with patients.  This hemp ointment is epic for major deep muscle and joint pain relief!  This ointment is perfect for back pain, hip pain, and minor aches and pains.  This Wellness Center in California sells it, and this is where I get it.  It's expensive, but worth it, and a little goes a very long way.

Luce Farm in Vermont was another stellar find when it comes to CBD edibles.  I loved this one for just using their oil as a spread on food because it tastes so good!  While I didn't at all react to this one, my friends did.  They felt wildly euphoric while I felt nothing.  Yet my friends raved so it made the list.  Try the coconut oil infused with CBD!  Or the Honey infused with CBD!  Deliciously yummy and clean products.  Both Mind, Body Green, and Goop featured this brand, too!

Foy CBD Infused - This is an edible brand that uses cleaner ingredients than most, is gluten-free, dairy-free, and plant-forward.  They are known for their testing.  These edibles are combined with other parts of the plant.

Charlotte's Web - While some people don't feel the effects of Charlotte's Web, MANY others do.  So again, this will be a dosage based on your body, and you'll have to gauge what works for you.  This brand doesn't work on me at all.  But my sister is a huge fan.  This is the brand that all functional doctors from NYC recommend.  My fan favs are the chocolate mint and olive oil.  I always go as plain as possible, so my reco would be the olive oil or the coconut oil plain.  Flavored products make me nervous when it comes to being truly gluten-free.

Mindys CBD/THC Gummies - James Beard Award Winning Artisanal Chef Mindy Segal created this brand of Honeydew CBD & THC infused gummies.  Each gummy contains 5mg CBD & 5mg THC.  The dispensary says customers with chronic pain and anxiety use this gummy.  It's not a euphoric feel, it's more of a very light edge taken off your shoulders, and it definitely helps with Arthritis and back pain.  This one does contain THC.   Remember, these are not gluten-free facilities, but gluten-free ingredients.

Eaton Botanicals edibles - Also made with clean ingredients, gluten-free, and vegan.  While not certified gluten-free, as many are not, I have not had any problems with this brand.

Caution List:

Thera Treats Chocolate - While this brand will tell you there is no gluten in the manufacturing facility, and it's made off-site, my entire family, including myself, had reactions that felt like gluten.  Our similar symptoms were:

• bad acid reflux
• headaches
• stomach issues
• nausea

The sad side is that this chocolate is amazing for pain.  If you don't have an issue with gluten, enjoy this one!

The same goes for Biovelle CBD-infused coconut oil. I cannot promote a product that says it is gluten-free, yet my skin reacts horribly.  I have to trust my reactions.  So this is another brand that says there is no gluten in the manufacturing facility, yet trying this one twice left a major skin reaction on my face, and I didn't originally put it there.  I ate it.  So use it with caution.

Sunday Scaries CBD - This company continues to change its ingredients and add more additives and colors.  It used to be gluten-free, and at this point, I cannot verify that it is.
