Hi Everyone- I've looked high and low and can't seem to find klonopin (clonazepam- it's an anti anxiety drug) on any gluten-free drug list. Does anyone know for sure? I'm assuming it DOES have gluten in it? Thanks, Beverly

I don't know the answer to your question, but what I've done in the past is just call your pharmisist and they can call the company and find out.

It is not on my lists of gluten free meds. Just because it is not on there does not mean that it has gluten. The best thing to do is call the manufacturer. Never assume anything with gluten. It's best to check if you do not know. :D

It made me sick so I stopped taking it. Just wean yourself off it, I went cold turkey because I didn't know any better and the withdrawl was awful.

Hope it helps

Yeah, that's not a fun one to go cold turkey on. I did the same, four days of hell!

I don't know whether or not it's gluten-free but if it isn't, go slowly...

Thanks everyone- I just found out that the comapny that produces my klonopin uses corn starch. They do not use WRBO. Yippee! Because getting off this stuff is a nightmare- you have to go really slowly and even that is not fun.

Corn starch is gluten free isn’t it? I just googled that, and it is broken down from a part of the corn, then ground down into a powder.

If the corn isn’t organic for corn starch it could have been sprayed with Glyphosates!!! over 40+ plants fruits and vegetables are sprayed with Glyphosates. It’s the same chemical that’s in Roundup!!!😡

It should be gluten free and okay for celiacs. However, some celiacs develop and intolerance to corn apart from any gluten issue just as they do dairy, soy, eggs, etc. because of leaky gut.

What is WRBO?

WRBO I think means Wheat Rye Barley Oats.  The first three are the gluten containing grains and oats contain a protein (Avenin) that is suspected to cause gluten-like reactions in about 10% of celiacs.

      Bile reflux with celiac

      Hey! How is your daughter doing now? I am dealing with very similar issues! All started after going gluten free after being diagnosed with celiacs

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      Thanks for your thoughts on this. My reactions to gluten are complex and involve more than just my heart and arteries. The problems with what It does to my cardiovascular system do present me with a bit of a conundrum at times. For instance, I had cardio bypass surgery in 2002 (at age 53) and then again had angina and artery issues in 2006. At the same time...

      Help Interpreting My Lab Results? (updated)

      Migraines are a recognized symptom of celiac disease. The incidence of it is higher in the celiac community than in the general population. It is one of mine. Well, keep us posted. Do you have a follow up appointment scheduled yet? Again, let me stress that it is important to not begin the gluten free diet or even a reduced gluten diet until all testing...

      Help Interpreting My Lab Results? (updated)

      No other testing has been done at this point, though I wonder if my diagnosis will prompt that. My main symptoms have been bowel related and I’ve had severe migraines for several years now but I’ve been seeing a neurologist for that and have it under control, though I now wonder if the migraines have been a symptom of Celiac all along.

      They do use stages but only when evaluated the damage done to the villi of the small bowel after looking at the biopsy samples. I'm referring to the "Marsh" scale. As far as I know, "stages" has never been applied to blood antibody test scores. It would not be appropriate to assign stages based on antibody scores as the damage done would depend not only...

For instance, I had cardio bypass surgery in 2002 (at age 53) and then again had angina and artery issues in 2006. At the same time, I was also suffering symptoms of early onset dementia while also experiencing symptoms of psychosis. That was when I discovered I had celiac and went on a. gluten-free diet. On that diet, my psychosis disappeared, my chest pain stopped and my cognitive issues also cleared up. Subsequently I began running and...

As far as I know, "stages" has never been applied to blood antibody test scores. It would not be appropriate to assign stages based on antibody scores as the damage done would depend not only the antibody levels in the blood at the time of testing but the duration of it and the intensity of it over time since the onset. And those are all very subjective things. I understand your concern about irreparable damage done to body systems but you are fairly young and your body still has very good rejuvenation powers.
