Anyone taking Armour?  Are you having Celiac reactions??  It says its gluten free, on the gluten free drugs, but the articles on it says no.

What’s articles are you referencing?  Armour Thyroid does not contain gluten.   I have taken it for over 20 years and my small intestine has healed.  
 

You could have an intolerance to any of the inactive ingredients.  But it should not be a reaction causing celiac disease to flare.

I used to take Armour, and I was fine.  Then they switched me to Naturethroid, and it was recalled lately.  So they put me back on Armour, and I had a reaction.  I took Armour for 10 years!!  Read an article, and it said it wasn't gluten-free.  But thanks.

What article?  Please cite it (provide a link).  
 

Porcine thyroid products are being recalled lately due to raw material supply issues.  This has pretty much impact all non-synthetic thyroid medications.  Thank you pandemic!   If you are having a celiac disease reaction, report it to the FDA.  It could be that you are reacting to the inactive ingredients that may have changed.

Is armour thyroid by Allergan gluten free?

This is a good site to search the ingredients used in drugs:

It looks like Allergan's version is gluten-free:

      Welcome to the forum, @K6315! Gluten withdrawal typically lasts for a period of a few weeks. But there is a real learning curve involved in actually attaining to a gluten free dietary state. Much more is involved than just cutting out major sources of gluten such as bread and pasta. It's all the places that gluten is hidden in the food supply that is difficult to ferret out, like soy sauce and canned tomato soup, canned chili and canned pork n' beans, some "lite" pancake syrups, potato salad, flavorings, etc., etc. Gluten-containing grain products are hidden through alternate terminology and found in places you would never expect.  There is also "cross contamination" where naturally gluten free foods come into contact with gluten-containing grains during farming, transportation, storage and manufacturing processes. Then there is the issue of "cross reactivity" whereby you may be having gluten-like reaction to food proteins whose structure is similar to gluten. Chief among these are dairy, oats (even gluten-free oats), soy, corn and eggs. I am including this article that you might find helpful:

      Prior to being diagnosed, I had a gluten heavy diet. I stopped all gluten exactly a week ago and have continued to feel sick in the ways I did prior to going gluten free - primarily on and off nausea, brain fog, and fatigue. Wondering if this is normal and, if so, how long can I expect to feel this way?

      Some of the largest contract manufacturers in the U.S. include companies like NutraScience Labs, Capsugel (part of Lonza), and Thorne Research. These companies produce supplements for a wide range of brands, from small startups to well-known names.

      Thank you for your feed back and knowledge.  Scott do you know the names of the BIG manufactures who produce most supplements?  Love to research them all and decide on their principles and manufacturing certifications who I want to spend my dollars with if they provide other non private label supplements that are good.

      I haven't heard of them before, but a significant portion of dietary supplements are produced by a handful of large contract manufacturers. These companies have the facilities, expertise, and certifications to produce supplements at scale, making them attractive partners for brands that don’t have their own manufacturing capabilities. I doubt Forvia manufactures them directly, so it is hard to know if they are just doing clever marketing to a certain malabsorption crowd, or they actually have unique product.
