I am looking it up, but my advice is that it is better to be glutenated than go through an abortion later.

starches are clearly labeled as potato and corn
" The inactive ingredients present are colloidal silicon dioxide, potato starch, gelatin, magnesium stearate, talc, corn starch, and lactose monohydrate."
If in doubt, call your pharmacist, too.

I checked the inactive ingredient list ( http://www.go2planb....PDF/PlanBPI.pdf ) and nothing looks problematic. I would go the pharmacy, ask the pharmacist (not the technician who hands you the drugs) to also look over the ingredients, but it looks like it is safe.
Good Luck!

It's better to be glutened than to have an unwanted pregnancy/child.
Tapioca intolerant
First cousin dx'd with Celiac Disease
Grandmother died of malnutrition b/c everything made her sick... sounds like celiac to me.
Gluten-free since June 2005
Dx with IBS February 2005
Blood tests both negative (or inconclusive?) for celiac (in 2002 and 2004)

The morning after pill is a chemically induced early abortion.

Actually it's not; it prevents conception from occuring.

We're straying from the original question. She asked for information related to gluten intolerance, not for us to judge her or the product in question. Let's keep to the original topic, please.

It can abort a conceived embyo before implantation. http://en.wikipedia....y_contraception

This is not the place to debate the ethics of the morning-after pill. We are not here to judge.

Sorry, I wasn't debating the ethics, only the mechanism. I know how controversial topics can go around here ... so I certainly did not mean to start a debate on the ethics.
