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. :)

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
