## Questions & Answers

**Q: Where on amazon would I find the capsules??? Can’t find them!!**
A: I purchased test capsules from Amazon. It looks like they don't have them available now. 
I did find some at Best Buy web site!!

**Q: Ok, where are the Nima gluten capsules and why are they not available?**
A: Medline Industries, thank you for answering the question. But the tester is useless without the capsules, which have not been available for months.

**Q: Does this do liquids? Like gluten reduced beer. ?**
A: Nima can test just about any food or beverage (non-alcoholic only) you can put into a capsule, including but not limited to:
soups
packaged goods
sauces
pizza
salads
dressing
french fries
noodles
cookies
meat balls
muffins
cereal
tortilla chips
smoothies
At this time Nima is unable to detect hydrolyzed or fermented gluten in food samples (like soy sauce or beer).

**Q: how long is the warranty?**
A: I have no idea. I’ve had mine for about six months and haven’t even had to recharge it even though I use it about three times a week.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great device! Excellent gift!
*by M***E on July 14, 2020*

This thing is absolutely amazing! My wife has celiacs disease and loves it! It has saved her a few times from cross contaminated meals.The capsules are expensive but the device has an app that you can check out other peoples experiences at restaurants in your area. So that helps cut costs on capsules.Another cool thing is if you have a Flexible Spending Account and can prove with a doctors note you have a gluten intolerance the capsules are rei-mburseable.I think overall the device itself could be a little cheaper. But it works!

### ⭐ ZERO WARRANTY / CUSTOMER SERVICE ERRORS CONSTANTLY
*by K***N on August 24, 2020*

I'm beyond disappointed with this product. After using it initially I thought it was working fine, but then it started only giving an error, over and over. Says to contact support. When I sent an email to the one on Nima's website, I got a response back by Medline. Then... nothing. For months, despite reaching out multiple times. Now the latest response is that they were acquired and this email may no longer be supported at all! I've done my part in being a loyal customer, so where's the support when the product fails to work after a short period of light use? I've wasted so many capsules thinking it was me and how I was testing. Now I have nothing to show for it but a piece of junk. Way to get my hopes up about being able to enjoy a life eating out. What a waste of a good idea. DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best product ever!
*by P***T on September 5, 2019*

The first time I used the Nima Gluten Sensor I discovered the “gluten free bread” I’ve been eating isn’t gluten free at all. No wonder I’ve been challenged! I’ve had no problem ordering extra test capsules. This device is literally going to support a healthy life style for me from now on.
