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 Beer - The Enzymatic Hydrolyzation Process Problem

      By Jason Dyer · Posted

      Thanks, Scott and Trents. Scott, tastes vary of course. The metallic taste may just be me. As to the filtration efficacy, I can only add that the micron level to remove a smaller protein chain must be pretty tight. What about the impact of hydrolization on the R5 test? I've been told it presents a challenge. Trents, thanks for the clarification. I did not draw this distinction, but can. I honestly didn't perceive the nuance.  Appreciate the feedback from you both.

      Medicinal mushrooms 🍄

      By Liquid lunch · Posted

      I don’t think it matters much if you trust the supplier, I get them from a Welsh company maesyffin mushrooms but I think the guy there has retired from growing now and just resells eu imports so it’s probably the same mushrooms he uses to make the tinctures as the company you posted. It’d probably be cheaper to buy dried and make your own tincture.

      Could this be Celiac disease?

      By Chissers · Posted

      Thank you for your prompt reply. Have others experienced LUQ and L sided back pain when on gluten? Could gluten be irritating the pancreas to cause the slight rise in lipase?

      Wow! I'd be interested to know where you get the tinctures. You can DM me if you wish. There's a Spanish company ... hifasdaterra ... who make high quality medicinal mushrooms in capsule form.
