Generic Medications

Hey Ya'll

I'm looking for non-prescription Generic medications (substitutes for Tylonol, Advil, Alieve, Excederin, etc.) that are gluten free.

Does anyone know of a store/pharmacy that will give a list of their generics that are gluten-free?

For instance, I know Wal-Mart's EQUATE store-brand Advil is inexpensive, but comparable to the name-brand. I have a cold and bought their EQUATE "sudafed" the other day, but I'm not sure if any of it is gluten-free.

Any suggestions? I appreciate your support! -Julie :blink::)B)

Thanks Deb. for the info.!

(At least I know that I'm safe to keep taking the medicine that I have already bought). :)

I sure appreciate it! Do you know if all medicines list all of the inactive ingredients on the box or bottle? I picked up some generic med. the other day, and I saw the active ingredients obviously displayed, but for the life of me, I couldn't spot the inactive ingredients on the box. ....maybe I just overlooked it... or maybe it was my hubby standing next to me begging to leave Wal-mart that distracted me! :rolleyes: (hee hee...he has a low Wal-mart crowd tolerance) :D

Well, have a good evening everyone! Thanks again Deb.

      For people with celiac disease and corn intolerance from it: Is salt still okay for most people?

      By Ryangf · Posted

      I haven’t had any noticeable reactions to salt so I will continue using it. I think I just freaked out when I realized this but it doesn’t cause me any discomfort- so thanks!

      Abscesses on legs

      By plumbago · Posted

      Ok, thanks. I'm so glad to hear you are in the hands of a dermatologist. I hope he/she has given you 1) a diagnosis; and 2) a plan of care with a couple of options so that you have buy-in and comfort with it. I have some ideas, but not having seen the abscesses or you in person, it doesn't really make sense for me to kind of ... speculate further. But your question was regarding gluten, and you've gotten a couple of other follow up questions and answers that are good, including the idea to keep a food diary. Let us know if we can help further or answer any other questions. I'm sorry you're going through this, it sounds very painful.

      Abscesses on legs

      By LookingForAnswers101 · Posted

      @plumbago They appear as boils. They are big, like the size of a nickel--quarter, and they hurt when I touch them. I have gone to the same derm for them over and over and she thinks my body is colonized by a bacteria, but even after using hibiclens all over my body they come back.

      Abscesses on legs

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the gluten-free community! It’s great to have you here. While gluten sensitivity or celiac disease can indeed cause skin issues, such as dermatitis herpetiformis (a blistering rash), abscesses in areas like the lower buttocks or thighs are less commonly linked directly to gluten. However, chronic abscesses could be a sign of an underlying immune or inflammatory condition, which might be worth discussing with a healthcare professional. Some people with gluten-related disorders also experience secondary issues like bacterial overgrowth or immune dysregulation, which could potentially contribute to recurrent infections. It’s always a good idea to explore all possible causes, including gluten sensitivity, with your doctor. In the meantime, keeping a food and symptom diary might help identify any patterns. Wishing you the best on your health journey!

      You say you have gluten sensitivity? Have you been officially diagnosed with celiac disease or do you refer to NCGS?
