Called Sandoz today (5/31) and they said they do not use Gluten in any of their drugs. They use corn or potato starches, none are Rye, Wheat or Barley.

I'm sorry, Faegan--I missed your post this morning (was in a hurry to get ready to go out). Sandoz told me the same thing--I take one of their generics for my blood pressure. Glad you got an answer! :)

I called sandoz today.  12.17.18.  They would not say whether gluten ingredients were used.  Just said "we cannot certify that our products are gluten free."  So I believe sandoz products are not safe for celiac like me.

Unfortunately, drug companies do not have to follow the FDA guidelines.  The pharmaceutical companies lobby hard!  I think a bill was shot down twice in Congress.  So, consider advocating for this cause. 

Your Sandoz amoxicillin online shows that it does not contain gluten ingredients.  But I took it two years ago.  Did I get glutened?  No way to prove it, but I am not using this manufacturer again.  Sandoz makes this in Romania now.

Consider supporting TEVA.  They disclose to the pharmacist who advocates for us.

We all need to be wary of our drugs whether we need to be gluten free or not:

Get involved and champion this cause!  If we can buy safely from a company like Kraft, we should be able to buy drugs safely too.

      gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine

      By Raquel2021 · Posted

      Yes stress can .make the pain worse. That being said it is taking years for my body to heal. I am not able to eat out as 98 % of restaurants do not know how to cook for celiacs.  I only eat out on special occasions. Any time I eat gluten I feel there is a tourch going through my digestive system specifically in the area you have mentioned.  Like where the deudenal is . I am very sensitive to cross contamination so any small amount of gluten makes me sick.

      Gluten free diet - are these symptoms normal?

      By trents · Posted

      @Ems10, celiac diagnosis normally involves two steps. The first one is serum antibody testing which you may have already have had done and are waiting on the results. The second step involves and endoscopy (aka, gastroscopy) with biopsy of the small bowel lining. This second step is typically ordered if one or more antibody tests were positive, is a confirmation of the serum antibody testing and is considered the gold standard diagnostic test for celiac disease. Now hear this, you should not be eating gluten free weeks or months in advance of either kind of testing. Prematurely going on a gluten free diet can and will sabotage the results of the endoscopy/biopsy should you get a referral to a GI doc who would want to do that. Eliminating gluten from the diet causes causes inflammation to subside which allows the small bowel ling to heal such that the damage they would be looking for is no longer there.

      Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      It might make sense for you to find out if they've run a celiac disease test on you, and if not, consider planning for it.

      Thanks for your reply! I’m really not too sure, the doctor just took a few tubes of blood & that’s all I know 🥹
