Gluten Free Medications

Does anyone have an accurate source for locating Gluten Free Medications. I thought the glutenfreemedicines.com was accurate until someone posted that some of Pfizer's drugs are not safe. When I do get sick I take Zithromax, which according to glutenfreemedicines.com is listed as gluten free. Pfizer's website reports that it HAS gluten.

Who can we trust here?

If Pfizer's website states that their item contains gluten, I would believe the manufacturer. They change formulations of fillers from time to time. Unfortunately gluten free lists sometimes aren't updated fast enough.

Personally, I don't ever rely on a list. I call the manufacturer and check each time I'm prescribed a medication. There are 2 that I take on a continuing basis, and I call them every few months to make sure they're still gluten-free.

Thanks. I guess I will have to do the same.

      Probably NCGS then and there is also the possibility of an H. Pylori infection.

      Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?

      By Matt13 · Posted

      Hi Scott and Knitty! Thanks for the answers! You are very kind! Let put it this way: 1.I am now confirmed seronegative celiac. My Last push gastroscopy concluded that there is no atrophy and everything is ok in that regard. 2. From diagnostics perspective so far i have done multiple intestinal TUS, Mr Enterography, Multiple wide spectrum blood tests, Normal gastroscopy, Push gastroscopy(duodenum and jejunum)., Multiple X rays,Swallow test barium....i mean the whole package... 3. from doctors perspective i am in touch with 2-3 gastroenterologist, immunology and rheumatology doctor and general physician...and with psychiatric doctor. My problem is that i am still feeling like "s$#&" EVERY DAY even now when i am on GFD and i am still losing weight with very little energy through day. When i lay down, i do not feel pain or discomfort but during the day i feel bloated, intermitten pain in abdomen(usually upper QD and around belly), discomfort throught whole abdomen and other parts of body and with very little energy. I am trying my  best to be 100 % GFD but i am on very light mediterian food diet. I am currently on gfd  13 months (with small mistakes) Currently i am on ppi 20mg in the morning, now drinking ensure plus because of muscle and weight loss. My diagnose procedure is now lasting almost 3 years and since then i have lost 13-15kg. Please but please i am currently losing my mind...is there anybody who is going through this kind of hell like me? What more can i do? Thanks in advance, Kind regards, Matt

      Food Tasting Salty

      By Mnofsinger · Posted

      I appreciate the input and that would make sense to irritation/mouth sores. I'm more asking directly to the taste of the food being too salty as opposed to being irritated by salt.
