I just called Mylan and they said the following.

"ALL products manufactured by Mylan are Gluten Free. There isn't Wheat, Oats, Barley, Rye, Spelt in the manufacturing process."

So to recap Loperamide (generic for Imodium) is GLUTEN FREE !!!!!!!!

On that note, I have have yet to see any confirmation that Imodium contains gluten. Where did someone find this information?

I confirmed it by calling the company when I first read this post. The answer from the immodium rep on the phone was that yes it had gluten and the other products other than the caplets had not been tested yet. I told her how much I appretiated their product containing this poison, and I am afraid I wasn't very nice. When I asked her if they realized that they were making gluten intolerant folks who relied on their product sick her response was that "We don't know of any instances of our product causing problems" Perhaps others might want to email or call the company also.

Very strange indeed. As I called them and they said that all products were gluten free. The only one that they didn't know about was the new formula liquid imodium. They didn't say it did or did not contain gluten only that it hadn't been tested yet, so he recommended going to the tablet version.

I guess I'll have to call again.

I think with the issue with the liquid calling again may be the way to go. I called in July because I wanted to take a dose before a long car ride. Body didn't need it but my mind did If the product does or did contain gluten I would imagine they would be working to remove it. The more calls with questions the more quickly they will do this. The rep did state that they are now in the process of clinically testing their products and at that point could only tell me for sure that the AD caplets were okay. I expect testing would be completed on the others perhaps by now.
