Xantac Not gluten-free, But Dulcolax Is

I called the manufacturers of Xantac and Dulcolax. They say that none of their Xantac products are certified gluten-free. Bad news. :( They did tell me, however that the Dulcolax products (both tablet and gel-cap) are gluten free!

Just because they don't test for gluten, doesn't mean they put any gluten ingredients in the product. There is a difference.

I have taken Zantac and been fine. Usually the best statement you will get from drug manufacturers is yes there are gluten ingredients in the drug or that there are no gluten containing ingredients in the product but they don't guarantee that somewhere (suppliers) that there isn't possible cross contamination.

      Celiac or not?

      By trents · Posted

      The tTG-IGA is considered the centerpiece of celiac disease blood antibody testing. Your test results exceed 10x normal range so you could be officially declared to have celiac disease without going through an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining. As you used the term "bloods" to refer to your antibody testing, I am assuming you live in the UK and it has become common practice there since the COVID pandemic years to dispense with the endoscopy/biopsy when the tTG-IGA score reaches 10x normal. Though I would not go so far as to say it is yet a universal practice to do so. So, I would hold off on the gluten free diet until you find out if you will be required to undergo an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel. If you quit gluten now, healing of the small bowel lining will commence and it may generate a false negative biopsy by the time you get to the procedure. So, ask that question of your doctor. That is, if he feels a need to refer you to a GI doc for an endoscopy/biopsy.

      Hello Dc91 and welcome to the forum! Could you first just add the lab ranges for us for your TTG IgA Antibodies as they vary?   Cristiana

      Sorry I should have said these bloods were taken Friday morning, a week after the first initial bloods. So I hadn’t starved myself of gluten before these bloods were taken.
