Gabapentin Says gluten-free But Side Affects?

Does anyone else take this medication? It's listed as gluten free but can cause stomach upset and bloating. Wondering if I'm thinking I've been gluten when it's the meds reacting on a sore GI.

I was on that for a while, but keep in mind that it will be different from every manufacturer. If you contacted the manufacturer and the have verified it is gluten free, as opposed to having just read on the internet that it is, then you are most likely suffering from side effects. If they are more than you want to put up with, make a new appointment with your doctor. If you find out that what you are getting from that manufacturer isn't gluten free, try contacting other pharmacies in your area to see what manufacturer they fill with.

I took it for pain (unsuccessfully) for a year or two.  It caused me GI upset and I believe it is common with this med.  Those side effects dissipated after awhile.  Hopefully it works for you!

      Thank you that’s really helpful, hopeful won’t have to have a biopsy.

      That means the normal range (i.e. not celiac disease) would be a result less than 14.99.  Your result is WAY above that. Some gastroenterologists would diagnose that as celiac disease even without a confirming biopsy because it is more than ten times the top of the normal range.

      Diagnosis and further testing Celiac

      By Redanafs · Posted

      Hi everyone. Back in 2022 I had blood work drawn for iga ext gliadin. Since then I’ve developed worse stomach issues and all other health issues. My doctor just said cut out gluten. He did no further testing. Please see my test results attached. I just need some direction cause I feel so ill and the stomach pain is becoming worse. Can this test show indications for other gastrointestinal diseases?

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.
