Meds. Are They Gluten Free?

I started doing a search for these individually but the forum yields so many results, it takes a long time to go through them. :unsure:

Maybe someone who already has the hang of this knows off the top of their head?

I don't take meds regularly but need to occasionally. I was wondering if the following were gluten-free (and dairy free, if you know.)

Tylenol

Motrin

Imodium

Pepto

Tums

I remember reading that Gas X is not gluten-free. Is there an alternative that is?

Thanks in advance! :)

Tylenol & Pepto - gluten and dairy free, I take both of these without problems

Motrin & Imodium - I'm not sure, I don't take these

Gas-x gel caps - gluten free

Tums - not gluten free (I've read some flavors are/aren't gluten-free which is confusing enough for me to consider them not safe)

Gas-x chewables - not gluten free

Great alternative to Tums and Gas-x is Pepcid AC chewables which are gluten and dairy free. The Pepcid AC website typically has great coupons. Last one I got was for $3 off.

Thanks for the replies! Again, this is such a helpful place. :)

Today will be my first trip to the grocery store with the "dairy free" label added to myself.

I know I'll need something to take in about 10 days when AF rears her ugly head. The cramps are killer.

I rarely get heartburn but I did the other day and didn't have anything besides Tums here. I ate them like candy during my pregnancies.

      Confused with test results

      By Dhruv · Posted

      @trents I absolutely understand the perspective of getting off completely from wheat,  but sometimes situation may occur that you won't have choice to eat other than wheat,  my son travels a lot, since they travel in team, it's not easy to go out and find him a gluten free every single time! I have seen, even in NJ I m struggling to find out gluten free stuff, in this country we don't get fresh food in stores, other day i saw gluten free bread so hard that will never feel to eat it! Once in while means once in a while, when there is no absolute option. Here all goes by book, there is no enough scientific research done yet on eating gluten with celiac,  everyone has there own narrative,  only it being said don't eat wheat, but Noone has come up with the experience. And moreover my sons diagnosis is yet to define, whether he has celiac or NCGS. last time his endoscopy came negative hence doctor did not bother to tell us. I hope this time it will be the same case. We are figuring out why his billirubin is high, may be that could be the reason his igg iga test is high, will get check on all and come to the conclusion. My son and us is absolutely fine not eating gluten, but one can't guarantee that every time they will get the gluten free food other than home. I also don't trust under the table of "gluten free products" have see people still have same iga igg count even after following the diet. This is all learnings, will keep him under observation and go through the regular testing to find out how his body reacts to what.  I may sound like a fool, but medical is scam in US, hence i would consult doctors in India. 14 years ago they have announced i had a breast cancer, which was not, since then I don't trust medical system here.

      Travel Abroad

      I've been to Italy recently for a wedding and it was excellent. I made my own gluten-free sandwiches/pannini to take on the flights.  Spain is good and you can get good gluten-free breads in the supermarkets there. The UK and Ireland are very good also. Australia would be good since Coeliac Disease is fairly common there ...1 in 70 as opposed to 1 in 100 in other countries. You have to advocate for yourself in restaurants when eating out. I've read about several Coeliacs being cross contaminated from preordered gluten-free meals on airlines. Personally, I wouldn't trust a gluten-free meal on an airline especially long haul. Try the hashtag celiactravel on tiktok and instagram. Loads of Coeliacs posting about their experiences with plenty travel tips. The Atly app has a list of gluten-free friendly restaurants worldwide.
