Is Imodium Multi-Symptom Gluten Free? Help!

I am trying to figure out what I got glutened from and I'm very confused about this product. I looked online and the FAQs say all Imodium products are gluten free except for Imodium complete. I can't figure out what that product is so I alled the company and they said that's what the Multi Symptom USED to be called. He said that the multi symptom does not contain gluten ingredients but they don't test and can't guarantee. This is so frustrating so I'm looking for any personal experience. I'm desperate to figure out what got me this time.

It is vary rare that a drug company will say something is actually gluten-free.  Usually you will get the  "does not contain gluten ingredients but they don't test and can't guarantee" line.  Generally things like that are considered safe.

I am looking for the same answer.  I find in a list that is printed "Gluten Free Drugs"  Imodium Complete is listed as Gluten Free but I found Imodium Multi-Symptom Relief instead of Complete.  I have IBS also and I would like to find the  answer to this so I don't have to purchase Gas-X, as well.  This covers all the symptoms of IBS.

      I noticed eating gluten-free or CGF foods have higher sugar and sodium some. No added sugar protein bars I found better with plant fiber. I wanted to know what are you go to besides whole fruits/veggies that you find are healthy for you where you can feel eating normal without hurting yourself or health. I was looking into subscription based like Thrift to see if there is something that is healthier CGF that can make me feel normal. Thanks

      Thankyou because I met up with K B with well known bay area hospital once and she said she knows I don't like to take meds, I said thats incorrect, I have issues.Thats the one that said I was deemed " unruly " when she admitted I was celiac when I asked why am I going through this.

      Cristiana, that sounds like a great approach and I will be looking forward to the results. I am in the same boat as you. I don't experience overt symptoms with minor, cross contamination level exposures so I sometimes will indulge in those "processed on equipment that also processes wheat . . ." or items that don't specifically claim to be gluten free but do not list gluten containing grains in their ingredient list. But I always wonder if I am still experiencing sub acute inflammatory reactions. I haven't had any celiac antibody blood work done since my diagnosis almost 25 years ago so I don't really have any data to go by.

      I've been reflecting on this further. The lowest TTG I've ever managed was 4.5 (normal lab reading under 10).  Since then it has gone up to 10.   I am not happy with that.  I can only explain this by the fact that I am eating out more these days and that's where I'm being 'glutened', but such small amounts that I only occasionally react. I know some of it is also to do with eating products labelled 'may contain gluten' by mistake - which in the UK means it probably does! It stands to reason that as I am a coeliac any trace of gluten will cause a response in the gut.  My villi are healed and look healthy, but those lymphocytes are present because of the occasional trace amounts of gluten sneaking into my diet.   I am going to try not to eat out now until my next blood test in the autumn and read labels properly to avoid the may contain gluten products, and will then report back to see if it has helped!
