Aleive

Hi all,

I searched, but can't find anything on the board about this. Does anyone know if Alieve (OTC pain reliever) is gluten-free? My support nurse for the MS injection I take has suggested it for helping with the side effects of the meds, and I don't know if I can take it. Don't have a bottle of it in the house, so thought I'd ask here first.

Thanks,

Jen

Can we also add to the Alieve question, the gluten-free question : which brand name aspirins are gluten-free? Someone in a prior post directed me to a site which used to be free and now they charge for this information (Clan Thompson I believe).

Thank you from both of us.

:D yesterday i found a wonderful site and it has a 23 page list of gluten free meds--its napervillegi.com you scroll down to the celiac disease, click on it and then just read through until u find the list for drugs and clanthompson.com has a page too, but i think they list them a little differently--i know i have taken aleve--anyways--go read it--ok--deb :rolleyes:

Thanks you your replies. Deb, I tried to find that site but couldn't, but in the search I DID find another one that answered my questions. Its:

Alieve is on the list as well as a bunch of other info.

Naproxyn sodium is my anti-inflammatory of choice, and generic prescription strength pills give my stomach a what-for, so I go with over the counter stuff in a high enough dosage. I called the manufacturer of Aleve and they had the standard CYA statement: we don't put gluten in, but we can't guarantee the purity of the ingredients we get from suppliers. While the response annoys me (you don't know if you're putting something damaging to people in your product?!), I've never had a problem taking it, in doses up to 6 220mg tablets a day. (Yes, yes, under a physicians care... ;-) )

Aleve is gluten-free, but it can also be irritating, at least to me. I don't know if it is dairy free, so maybe that is what bothers me about it. Anyhow, it makes my intestines feel funny. I get this hot burning feeling as it moves through my small intestine. I found one website that says Aleve can aggrevate the symtpoms of microscopic colitis. I haven't been diagnosed with MC, but I have many of the symptoms of colitis in general and wonder if the Aleve bothers me for that reason as well.

I guess what I'm trying to say is to take it with caution if you have any form of colitis.

God bless,

Mariann

      Keep in mind that you might also have a dietary sensitivity to something else. Get into the habit of reading ingredients lists.

      Did I outgrow celiac

      I would avoid gluten at all cost. Sometimes there will be no noticeable damage, but it is still causing an autoimmune response that will manifest in some way or another eventually. Throwing up from a macaroon sounds like something other than celiac disease also.

      Thanks, Scott! I appreciate you looking that up for me. Perhaps that will be good enough for someone but not for me...super sensitive dermatitis herpetiformis here. I don't take any chances that I can avoid. ~Pam

      Did I outgrow celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, Liamclarke! We have reports from time to time of people whose celiac disease seems to go into remission. Often, however, it doesn't last. There is also the question of whether or not symptoms or lack of them tell the whole story. Many of us are "silent" celiacs who have very minor or no symptoms when consuming gluten yet slow, insidious damage is still going on in the gut. The only way to tell for sure in your case would be to be retested after going back on gluten for a period of weeks or months such that sufficient time has elapsed for antibody levels in the blood to build up to detectable levels. And I would certainly advise you to do that and not take anything for granted.
