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.

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. :)

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
