Hey Ya'll

I'm looking for non-prescription Generic medications (substitutes for Tylonol, Advil, Alieve, Excederin, etc.) that are gluten free.

Does anyone know of a store/pharmacy that will give a list of their generics that are gluten-free?

For instance, I know Wal-Mart's EQUATE store-brand Advil is inexpensive, but comparable to the name-brand. I have a cold and bought their EQUATE "sudafed" the other day, but I'm not sure if any of it is gluten-free.

Any suggestions? I appreciate your support! -Julie :blink:

We urge all doctors to take time to listen to your patients.. don't "isolate" symptoms but look at the whole spectrum. If a patient tells you s/he feels as if s/he's falling apart and "nothing seems to be working properly", chances are s/he's right!

Thanks Deb. for the info.!

(At least I know that I'm safe to keep taking the medicine that I have already bought).

I sure appreciate it! Do you know if all medicines list all of the inactive ingredients on the box or bottle? I picked up some generic med. the other day, and I saw the active ingredients obviously displayed, but for the life of me, I couldn't spot the inactive ingredients on the box. ....maybe I just overlooked it... or maybe it was my hubby standing next to me begging to leave Wal-mart that distracted me! :rolleyes:

(hee hee...he has a low Wal-mart crowd tolerance)

Well, have a good evening everyone! Thanks again Deb.
