Help
I have found out most of my meds are ok but the Synthroid was not on the Gluten Free list. I take 100 mcg of this med and will need to find a gluten-free substitute won't I. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Everyone on here who uses Synthroid says it is gluten-free. I never checked cuz Im on Armour which is gluten-free. Others will chime in.
GLUTEN FREE 4/4/08. LEGUME/SOY FREE 5/15/08. YEAST FREE. CORN FREE. GRAIN FREE. DAIRY FREE. I am eating all meats, eggs, veggies, fruits, squash, nuts and seeds. I just keep getting better every day. :)

I've been taking generic Synthroid (levothyroxine), but I ask the pharmacist about gluten and corn every time and I've never had a problem.

I also take 100 mcg of Synthroid. I called Abbott and spoke to them. They said they "do not use any ingredients containing gluten." I suppose it's possible that the manufacturers of the products that supply Abbott might use gluten and Abbott doesn't know about it, but I think that's as good a statement as we're going to get.
Diagnosed Celiac in June 2008 by biopsy and blood tests.
DQ2.2 (HLA DQA1*0201:DQB1*0202) and DQ2.5trans (HLA DQA1*05) positive.
