Tylenol: Do You Take It Or No?

I can't find anything that's conclusive; even emailing their customer service didn't help, they just gave me the typical lawyer response. Does anyone here take it and have no issues? I gotta find something now that Advil isn't safe.

Why isn't Advil safe?  Tylenol is the one that most doctors are advising people to not use very often because of liver damage?  I think it was liver damage.  Anyway, try different generics?  Target Ibuprophen says gluten-free on the box.  Maybe the acetaminophen is labelled gluten-free too?  I think Walgreens has some things labeled gluten-free.

I don't know anything about that website.  It is a bit confusing.  I would go with what Advil actually says which is a bit of a CYA statement.

"Gluten is not added to Advil® Film-Coated products during the manufacturing process. However, we cannot guarantee that minute amounts of gluten or gluten derivatives are not contained in raw materials obtained from various suppliers for our manufacturing process since the end product is not tested for gluten. You should check with your doctor if you have any concerns about taking this product."

 

 

 

Buy Target brand - its likely cheaper.

I buy generic Walgreens brands of ibuprofin. Some have stated on the box that they're gluten free and some I've called about. I've also see the Target ones that say right on the box that they're safe.

 

And while we may not like it, the simple fact is that nearly every pharmaceutical company in existence gives a "lawyer" or CYA response. I've been told things like "we consider it gluten free because to the best of our knowledge we do not knowingly add any gluten or gluten derived products to it, but we don't test it and blah blah blah cover our ass." Excellent, I'll buy it, sounds gluten free to me. We live in a gluten filled world, that's as good as it gets.

 

And the reason I don't know anything about Advil or Tylenol is because it has never crossed my mind to pay twice as much for something that is the same product just because a popular company makes it. I still find it laughable that they're making both products and successfully selling them.

My local grocery store, HEB, has their private label acetaminophen marked gluten-free.  A lot of things they have are similar looking to walgreens house brand stuff so they might use the same manufacturer, at least on a few things.  Worth a look.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Hi Theresa,  A few of my friends have your same story. You may be right about barley, etc.  18 years ago at a football game while clapping, suddenly my 4th finger was in agony.  It looked like a vein had burst. It was blue for a couple hours, then disappeared.  Finally realized it happened every time when drinking beer.  It's occurred several times over the years when opening a jar, lifting something that was a bit heavy, holding on to tight to something.  Immediate icing stops the pain and discoloration.  Now avoiding wheat in the US, it rarely happens.  Thanks for the reminder.  Will have Entero Labs run another test. Unfortunately they've relocated to Switzerland/Greece.

      Blood results

      The EMA test is an old and less sensitive test for anti-tTG2 antibodies. It relies on a technician using a microscope to check for fluorescence of a labelled substrate (typically monkey oesophagus or human umbilicus), giving a simple positive/negative result. It is similar to running a standard anti-tTG2 test but with a high cut-off, making it more specific but less sensitive. Transient rises in tTG2 can be caused by e.g. viral infections and inflammation. Very high levels of anti-tTG2 (>x10 standard range) are almost certainly coeliac disease but moderately raised levels can have several causes apart from coeliac disease. Other food allergies can cause villi blunting but that is much rarer than coeliac disease or other non-coeliac causes. Not All That Flattens Villi Is Celiac Disease: A Review of Enteropathies

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.
