Is anyone on Fluoxetine 20 mg CAPSULES by Sandoz? Are they gluten free? I called Sandoz and they said, "we do not test for gluten but our inactive ingredient suppliers tell us that they do not use wheat, barley, rye or oats in their products"? I just do not want the cross contamination...

I need it to be lactose free as well and they assured me that yes it is lactose free.

If anyone who is taking or has taken this medication can tell me if they have or have had any effects?

I have been trying to find one that will not make me sick!!!

Thank you kindly in advance for any responses.

Sorry to hear you are having problems with your Fluoxetine. I haven't taken the 20 mg capsules for awhile now because my doctor has me down to ten mg and its a tablet (my issue is hormonal perimenopause mood swings). The 20mg would make me looser in the a.m. (prozac is usually what they put IBS people whose symptoms are constipation vs diarrhea on because it tends to loosen them up) I've never had a problem with the generic's making me sick gluten wise though. What are your symptoms?

I have not tried the "capsules" yet. I was taking the tablets and I am not sure if it was the lactose or gluten but I was horribly distended with very painful gas and constipation. I know the capsules are lactose free so I am hoping that if they are gluten free as well I should be fine. I used to take the tablets manufactured by Teva and had no problems but I can no longer get them from Teva : (

If you've had no problems with Teva and haven't had any changes in your diet otherwise, then your probably right that the new prescription is giving you the problem. I wonder if there is some sort of milk protein in it since Prozac normally loosens thing up? Perhaps a sister drug to prozac such as zoloft, paxil, or lexapro would have a gfdf generic for you? Hope you find an answer soon. Maybe someone else has some experience as well.

      Gluten Free Beer - The Enzymatic Hydrolyzation Process Problem

      By Jason Dyer · Posted

      Trents, It's a good question. The experts I have spoken to have told me the distillation process does remove the offensive proteins. Again, I'm not the expert on that. I'm only reporting. I don't have any issue with distilled spirits that don't have any additives. That said, maybe there is something else at play here? Good question for the forum.

      Gluten Free Beer - The Enzymatic Hydrolyzation Process Problem

      By trents · Posted

      I'm wondering if this is the same issue some celiacs have with distilled liquors. The complete gluten molecule is too large and heavy to to travel up with the vapor but if their are gluten fragments created by the heat, they may not be and the immune systems of some celiacs still recognize it as gluten. I have no scientific proof for this, just a thought because we have so many forum contributors who still react to these "gluten removed" products.

      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?
