The pharmacist I spoke to says it's not. My doc says she spoke to a pharmacist who says it is, and an old post from 2005 says it's not.

Anyone know for sure?

Just in case anyone searches this in the future, it is a generic drug, so you need to contact the specific mfr. for exact info.

As of 9/24/07, Watson Pharma, who makes Kaiser's Nort., says they are not a gluten-free Pharma Co, which mean they do not certify the gluten-free status of their drugs. The most likely source for gluten is, however, starch. The starch in this drug comes from Maize (corn). They cannot, however, speak for any other ingredients in their drugs. They do not know the sources of all ingredients in their drugs.

You can take your chances if you wish, but I chose not to. Though I know the chances are low of getting glutened, I would have been taking this for a pain drug for abdominal pain, and the last thing I need right now is MORE abdominal pain :D

If this is the right drug I am thinking of, its ok. I take it regularly. Its not a pain medication. It is a anti depressant. The brand name is Pamalor. The day I found out I had celiacs I was on the phone with all my manufacuteres and none of my meds contained gluten, granted I havent checked in a while, but I take this drug in its highest dose and I get no reaction at all

Again, I am not sure if we are speaking of the same drug. I am sorry if we are not.

      Finding out I’m coeliac whilst pregnant

      By Beverage · Posted

      Sounds like you are in the UK. With blood numbers that high, I thought docs in UK would give an official diagnosis without the biopsy. You should ask about that, so you can get support faster.  I'd try to find and print out anything that supports that in your country, get another appointment and take all of it with you. Even in the US now, some docs are doing this, my 19 year old step granddaughter got an official diagnosis here in US with just blood results a few months ago.

      Seeking Gluten-Free Advice for My Trip to South Korea!

      By Beverage · Posted

      Is soy sauce in Korea also made from wheat like it usually is in US? I'd be concerned that even if asking about gluten, they would not be aware of or think of some like that.

      Not Sure What to Think

      By trents · Posted

      That's a good idea. It can at least establish the potential for developing celiac disease and can help people decided between a celiac diagnosis and NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). And it doesn't require a gluten challenge and can be had without a doctor's prescription.

      Anyone had endoscopy with a cold/cough???

      By awright24 · Posted

      I have my endoscopy on Thursday, has anyone had the procedure done with a cough? I don't have a continuous cough, but every now and then throughout the day I have sort of coughing episodes. They are a lot better than they were but I called endoscopy and they said to speak to my gp and my gp got back to me and said I need to ask endoscopy if its ok if I have it done still.  Help!

      Thank you so much, everyone. For the moment my doctor just has me taking iron but hopefully we can reconnect soon. I'm going to look into genetic testing, too. Great advice all around and I appreciate it--and you can bet I'm going off the PPIs!
