I called the manufacturer that makes my daughter's Vyvanse to ask them if the capsule is gluten free. She explained to me that the ingredients seem to be gluten free, but the company hasn't officially tested this capsule to be gluten free. What are everyone's thoughts on this? Thank you.

It's a cover your butt statement. They don't want to claim that the medication is gluten free because they have not tested it to prove that it is gluten free. But they did state that the ingredients are gluten free. I found the ingredients on the vyanse website and they are What are the ingredients in Vyvanse?

Active Ingredient: lisdexamfetamine dimesylate

Inactive Ingredients: microcrystalline cellulose,

croscarmellose sodium, and magnesium stearate.The

capsule shells (imprinted with NRP104) contain gelatin,

titanium dioxide, and 1 or more of the following: D&C Red

#28, D&CYellow #10, FD&C Blue #1, FD&C Green #3, and

FD&C Red #40.The capsule shells (imprinted with S489)

contain gelatin, titanium dioxide, and one or more of the

following: FD&C Red #3, FD&CYellow #6, FD&C Blue #1,

Black Iron Oxide, and Yellow Iron Oxide.

I don't see anything that contains gluten. For me, that is safe enough because I need the medication and it doesn't have any gluten ingredients, so I deem it safe for me. I haven't had any problems taking the medication either.

Food dyes? In an ADHD medication??? Looks gluten-free but my goodness that makes no sense! My brother was on the Feingold diet as a kid and food dyes would set him into a tizzy.

Yeah I don't get it either. The 70mg capsules are dark blue and bright orange. I don't know why they couldn't have ommited them.

Sheesh. Maybe it's to be sure you keep needing the pills. :P If you find the dyes troublesome you could look into having a compounding pharmacy make you some plain capsules.

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

      By trents · Posted

      Scott makes a good point about the prednisone. It has a general suppressing effect on the immune system. Don't misunderstand me. In view of your husband's several autoimmune afflictions, it would seem to be an appropriate medication therapy but it will likely invalidate endoscopy/biopsy test results for celiac disease.

      I also want to mention that using prednisone would likely also make the endoscopy results invalid. This steroid will cause gut healing and could mask the damage caused by celiac disease.

      Bitters for digestion?

      This sounds to me like histamine intolerance. Some foods have more or less histamine. processed or aged meats, fermented food like yoghurt or kimchi and bread (yeast), spinach, eggplant and mushroom are high in histamine. Other foods like tomatoes are histamine liberators, they encourage your mast cells to release histamine, which can also trigger the reactions you describe, flu like symptoms, joint pain, urinary tract irritation, rash, stomach upset, nausea, diarrhoea & fatigue. I had liver pain like you describe, as part of the intolerance is usually a sluggish liver that makes processing all the histamine difficult. There are multiple possible root causes of histamine intolerance, usually it’s a symptom of something else. In my case, leaky gut (damaged gut wall)caused by undiagnosed celiac, but for others it’s leaky gut caused by other things like dysbiosis. Some people also experience histamine intolerance due to mould exposure or low levels of DAO (the enzyme that breaks down histamine in the gut). I’d try a low histamine diet & if that doesn’t improve symptoms fully, try low oxalate too. As others have suggested, supplements like vitamin d, b, l-glutamine to support a healthy gut & a good liver support supplement too. If you’re in a histamine flare take vitamin c to bowel tolerance & your symptoms will calm down (avoid if you find you have oxalate intolerance though). Best of luck

      @GeoPeanut, milk is one of the better sources of iodine. Iodine is known to exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. Many people find that a low iodine diet helps them avoid dermatitis herpetiformis outbreaks. So, maybe the fact that you have limited your dairy intake of late is helping with that.

      Hi, I'm new here. Sorry for your troubles.herenis a thought to mull over. I recently was diagnosed with celiac disease,  and hashimoto's and dermatitis herpetiformis after getting covid 19. I eat butter, and 1/2 cup of Nancy's yogurt daily. I stopped all other dairy and  dermatitis herpetiformis is gone! I also make grass fed beef bone broth to help with myopathy that has occurred.
