Hi everyone! I was recently prescribed venlafaxine HCL ER (the generic of Effexor) produced by Zydus Pharmaceuticals. I know the brand name drug is gluten free but the water is always murky when dealing with generics. Can anyone find gluten information on their website or know of a number I can call to confirm? I tried reaching out via email and have not heard back.

Thanks Scott! I already tried that here. Is the best course of action just to google each specific ingredient since gluten does not have to specifically be identified?

Here are the inactive ingredients.  None of these should contain gluten.  You would need to ask the manufacturer if there is any risk of contamination. In the unlikely event that there was contamination, the amount you might ingest from a small capsule would be very, very tiny.

SILICON DIOXIDE (UNII: ETJ7Z6XBU4)  

CETOSTEARYL ALCOHOL (UNII: 2DMT128M1S)  

GELATIN (UNII: 2G86QN327L)  

HYPROMELLOSES (UNII: 3NXW29V3WO)  

CELLULOSE, MICROCRYSTALLINE (UNII: OP1R32D61U)  

ETHYL ACRYLATE AND METHYL METHACRYLATE COPOLYMER (2:1; 750000 MW) (UNII: P2OM2Q86BI)  

SODIUM LAURYL SULFATE (UNII: 368GB5141J)  

TALC (UNII: 7SEV7J4R1U)  

TITANIUM DIOXIDE (UNII: 15FIX9V2JP)  

FERRIC OXIDE RED (UNII: 1K09F3G675)  

FERROSOFERRIC OXIDE (UNII: XM0M87F357)

Thank you all! I am a very recent celiac diagnosis and accidentally took a medication with gluten in it a few months ago so I am just weary!

Best way to check for CC might be to call the manufacturer and ask if the med is produced on a dedicated line. You can get the manufacturer's phone number from the pharmacy vendor that handles it.

Is it feasible to get the brand-name version of the drug?

We have that information. The problem is with the generic that the OP actually uses.

      Years of testing - no real answers

      By trents · Posted

      Yeah, you may not have been consuming enough gluten to result in valid testing.

      Thank you for your reply. I was having about 2 slices of bread a day and other incidental gluten (occasional crackers and baked goods) so not reduced from my normal but not the 6 slices of bread like I’ve now seen suggested somewhere.

      Asking for Help Understanding Endoscopy/Biopsy Lab Results

      By Sking · Posted

      I just received my lab results from the endoscopy/biopsies to see if I have Celiac. My doctor's office said it could take up to two weeks for the doctor to read the results and contact me to interpret them. I am wondering if anyone can help me to understand my results? On one hand, it seems like maybe I don't have it, but have something called Brunner Glands Hyperplasia, on the other hand it says I have increased lymphocytes and villous distortion. I am very confused. How will the doctor decide if I do or don't have it? I am so confused about all of this from the start of the journey a year ago, I really appreciate people's time on here reading this and helping me understand. Thank you.   Anatomic Pathology Report Test Current Result and Flag Previous Result and Date Units Reference Interval Diagnosis synopsis: 01 Part 1-Gastric ,Upper GI Polyp(s), Excision, Stomach: PARIETAL CELL HYPERPLASIA IDENTIFIED. NEGATIVE FOR DYSPLASIA. Part 2-Duodenum ,Duodenum Biopsy: DUODENAL MUCOSA WITH NO DIAGNOSTIC ABNORMALITIES. NO EVIDENCE OF CELIAC DISEASE.

Comment: 01 Part 1- Part 2- Part 3- Villous distortion could be due to Brunner glands hyperplasia and not truly associated with celiac disease. Please see the diagnosis of Jar 2. Recommend clinical correlation. Anatomic Pathology Report (Cont.) Part 1-There is parietal cell hyperplasia with enlargement and dilatation of the lumens of some oxyntic glands. No dysplasia is seen. Part 2-Duodenal mucosa shows preserved villous architecture and normal cellularity of the lamina propria. Brunner glands are identified. No gastric metaplasia is seen. No dysplasia or malignancy is identified. There are no viral inclusions. No Giardia, other parasites or other pathogenic organisms are seen. No Helicobacter pylori organisms are identified. Part 3-Increased numbers of intraepithelial lymphocytes are noted (>6 lymphocytes/20 enterocytes at villous tips). Duodenal mucosa also shows villous distortion and slightly increased cellularity of the lamina propria. Brunner glands are hyperplastic. Gross description: 01 Part 1-The specimen is received in formalin labeled "KING, SHOSHANNA, Gastric Polyp ". Received are 2 fragments of tan, soft, tissue measuring 0.4 x 0.3 x 0.1 cm to 0.3 x 0.2 x 0.1 cm. The specimen is submitted entirely in cassette 1. Part 2-The specimen is received in formalin labeled "KING, SHOSHANNA, Duodenum Bx ". Received are multiple fragments of tan, soft, tissue measuring 0.5 x 0.2 x 0.2 cm to 0.1 x 0.1 x 0.1 cm. The specimen is submitted entirely in cassettes 1-2. Minute fragment(s) may not survive processing.
