Gluten-free pharmaceutical drugs


MSH

Recommended Posts

MSH Newbie

I would like to know what is being done to regulate that ALL pharmaceutical drugs are manufactured free of Gluten and free from being manufactured in a facility that manufactures other products with gluten 

As a Celiac, it a chore every time a doctor prescribes anything. I often times have to phone the manufacturer myself because neither my doctors or my pharmacist know whether or not a drug is gluten free, many times gluten-free is not listed on the package. This is a nightmare for me.  Why is this issue not being given the attention it requires.  I would like to know.  

Yes, there are safe gluten-free drugs lists, but they are not always accurate because pharmacies use different distributors & manufacturers for the drugs that they have on shelf.  

I do not understand for the life of me why something more has not been done to enforce that ALL DRUGS are produced Gluten Free.

Welcome to the forum...please have a look at this recent article that summarizes where things are now:

It's too little too late. Vitamins, medications can be mostly avoided...unless there's a major pandemic. It's disgusting that profit was put before the lives of people with celiac disease.

I blame the fad dieters, they made it appears non essential.

I'm covered in DH after taking "gluten free" vitamins.

      Hello, @jadeceoliacuk, Has your son been tested for nutritional deficiencies?  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of essential nutrients which can result in nutritional deficiencies.  Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals is beneficial.   I would find a nutritionist more knowledgeable about Celiac and ASD, before taking herbal supplements that don't contain essential vitamins. Interesting Reading: Relationship between Vitamin Deficiencies and Co-Occurring Symptoms in Autism Spectrum Disorder https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7279218/   Autistic Spectrum Disorder, Mitochondria, and Nutrient Deficiencies https://hormonesmatter.com/autistic-spectrum-disorder-asd-mitochondria-nutrients/   Relationship between Vitamin Deficiencies and Co-Occurring Symptoms in Autism Spectrum Disorder https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7279218/ Keep us posted on your progress!

      There doesn't seem to be much information about the effects of Gluten Ataxia in this forum.  I was diagnosed with Celiacs Disease but never had typical gluten symptoms.  My symptoms were all ataxic.
