Gluten Free And Filler Free Meds

I am trying to find a list of medications that are gluten-free and filler free. I have to deal with military drs and they aren't the sharpest nails in the bag. I have to tell them what I can and cannot take. All I know is that Augmentin has a filler in it and has had drastic results when I took it. Can anyone out there steer me in the right direction?

Hi - sorry about that last post - I'm new to this. Someone told me about www.glutenfreedrugs.com I'm not sure how reliable it is but you might want to check it out.

Virtually all meds are in fact gluten free, but I know of few if any that are "filler" free. Most meds have inactive ingredients that I guess would be considered "filler."

Any chance you can go to a compounding pharmacist? They specialize in formulating drugs without specific fillers, etc, and that might be of help. Though maybe hard to come by dealing with military doctors.

Do a search for "compounding pharmacist" and you should find a web site that tells you where the one nearest you is.

Best of luck

Richard,

Do you know if hydrochlorothiazide and Micro K potassium have gluten in them? I have the list of safe drugs from www.glutenfreedrugs, and these 2 are not listed. My pharmacy could not help me. I just found out I have been taking calcium with gluten for the past 3 months!

Thanks

Sharon,

Here's another gluten-free drug list that has been helpful to me.

homepage.mac.com/sholland/celiac/GFmedlist.pdf

Do you happen to know the manufacture? I just called a drug company on the last med. I got filled. I had to search a while online but I was able to get a phone number for customer service.

Hope you find out soon :)

Hi,

I am a pharmacy tech and your pharmacist is wrong when they say that they can't help you. I have people call and ask me about meds when they have certain allergies (gluten and others) all the pharmacy needs to do is call the manufacturer and ask them. I have done it many times for customers. If they won't do that for you then they can at least give you the phone number to the manufacturer. I'm sorry that they wouldn't help you with that. If you would like me to get the numbers to the manufacturer for you let me know. (it will be tomorrow though because I am off of work for tonight.) :)

Oh yeah and if you do want me to get the numbers for you please give me the names of the manufacturers that your pharmacy used. They should at least be able to tell you that. :)

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      My question I have proposed to the FDA through their website is why Prescription and OTC drug manufacturers are not required to list what binding ingredients were used to bine the drug? They list this on Capsules which are made of cellulose but not on pills? As it stands I or my pharmacist must contact the manufacturer to find out and my list is long from...

I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
