Wyeth Products

Hi All,

I just called Wyeth (1-800-322-3129) today to ask specifically if they maintain a gluten-free products list. While they do not maintain a list, they were willing to take questions on any specific products. Here are the results of my call:

Advil - all Advil products are gluten free (tablets, caplets, gelcaps, etc.), including Advil Cold & Sinus. That was was pretty easy, and pretty important to me. I play volleyball and am having shoulder problems, and I've played my last few tournaments since my diagnosis without taking any ibuprofen for fear of getting sick b/c info online was sketchy. So that's good to know.... (btw, anyone know about Motrin?)

Robitussin - Most Robitussin products are gluten free, I specifically asked about Robitussin DM and Robitussin Chest Congestion. She said the liquid and the Robitussin Cough Gels are gluten free.

ChapStick - She was able to say that ALL ChapStick products are gluten-free. Has anyone else heard this before? I'm interested to see what someone else might hear if they call.

Centrum - I am currently taking Centrum Advanced Formula, but today was my last dose. She said that they can confirm that it is "wheat-free" but cannot confirm at this time that it does not have gluten from other sources. She said that it is being tested and they should have this information in the near future.

And that's all. Just wanted to share! Let me know if anyone has gotten conflicting information from the same source!

Thanks,

Joe

      Thank you and I am aware that I should be eating a "normal" diet until tested it's kind of been trial and error for my diet or more like just ERROR! I about 1-3 bites a meal I'm to a point that 99 percent of the time I'm having trouble swallowing just about everything occasionally I find either something or a very small window of time that allows me to get very little of something! I am basically getting zero nutrition what so ever because I take one bite of the meal that I usually just slaved over just to end up tossing it when it's all said and done...did anyone else ever experience anything like this?  I am more then open to suggestions! It is taking a very extreme toll on me and my body forsure

      No! Do not start the gluten free diet until you know whether or not you will be having an endoscopy/biopsy to verify the blood antibody test results. Starting gluten free eating ahead of either form of diagnostic testing can invalidate the results. You don't want to allow the villous lining of the small bowel to experience healing ahead of testing by removing gluten.

      We offer a ton of recipes here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/ and have done some articles on fast food places, but keep in mind that eating out is a common source of gluten contamination: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q=fast food&quick=1&type=cms_records2 Many colleges now offer allergen-friendly, and sometimes gluten-free options in their student cafeterias: https://www.celiac.com/search/?&q=colleges&type=cms_records2&quick=1&search_and_or=and&sortby=relevancy PS - Look into GliadinX, which is a sponsor here, but many studies have been done on it which show that it may break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines.
