Rx Ingredients

My son is taking an rx- Urso for his liver/biliary tract disorder. I think the ingredients are all gluten free, the pharmacist didn't know. The manufacturer didn't seem to want to say one way or another (didn't want to be liable I guess) He hasn't been feeling great lately, but it could be from so many reasons. He has celiac disease, short bowel syndrome, a biliary stent and a liver disorder, so it is hard to tell with him !

Here are the ingredients from the company's web site

Inactive ingredients: microcrystalline cellulose, povidone, sodium starch glycolate, magnesium stearate, ethylcellulose, dibutyl sebacate, carnauba wax, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, PEG 3350, PEG 8000, cetyl alcohol, sodium lauryl sulfate and hydrogen peroxide.

Any info would be welcome, thanks in advance

:)

I don't see any obvious problems but of course I can't guarantee anything.

Would the manufacturer not answer at all or did they say something like "We don't put gluten in it but we can't guarantee our suppliers." If it's the latter, take the medication. It's gluten-free.

I use the following website quite often and find it very helpful,

www.glutenfreedrugs.com

I'm not sure if the drug you mentioned is on there,but it is worth a try....

Have a great day!

      Confused with test results

      By Dhruv · Posted

      @trents I absolutely understand the perspective of getting off completely from wheat,  but sometimes situation may occur that you won't have choice to eat other than wheat,  my son travels a lot, since they travel in team, it's not easy to go out and find him a gluten free every single time! I have seen, even in NJ I m struggling to find out gluten free stuff, in this country we don't get fresh food in stores, other day i saw gluten free bread so hard that will never feel to eat it! Once in while means once in a while, when there is no absolute option. Here all goes by book, there is no enough scientific research done yet on eating gluten with celiac,  everyone has there own narrative,  only it being said don't eat wheat, but Noone has come up with the experience. And moreover my sons diagnosis is yet to define, whether he has celiac or NCGS. last time his endoscopy came negative hence doctor did not bother to tell us. I hope this time it will be the same case. We are figuring out why his billirubin is high, may be that could be the reason his igg iga test is high, will get check on all and come to the conclusion. My son and us is absolutely fine not eating gluten, but one can't guarantee that every time they will get the gluten free food other than home. I also don't trust under the table of "gluten free products" have see people still have same iga igg count even after following the diet. This is all learnings, will keep him under observation and go through the regular testing to find out how his body reacts to what.  I may sound like a fool, but medical is scam in US, hence i would consult doctors in India. 14 years ago they have announced i had a breast cancer, which was not, since then I don't trust medical system here.

      Travel Abroad

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I've been to Italy recently for a wedding and it was excellent. I made my own gluten-free sandwiches/pannini to take on the flights.  Spain is good and you can get good gluten-free breads in the supermarkets there. The UK and Ireland are very good also. Australia would be good since Coeliac Disease is fairly common there ...1 in 70 as opposed to 1 in 100 in other countries. You have to advocate for yourself in restaurants when eating out. I've read about several Coeliacs being cross contaminated from preordered gluten-free meals on airlines. Personally, I wouldn't trust a gluten-free meal on an airline especially long haul. Try the hashtag celiactravel on tiktok and instagram. Loads of Coeliacs posting about their experiences with plenty travel tips. The Atly app has a list of gluten-free friendly restaurants worldwide.
