Is There An Internet Site For Checking Meds?

I need to find out if my methotrexate, naproxyn, or prednisone have any gluten, also a host of vitamins and some other meds. Is there an online site for this? I have to wait forever to get information from my pharmacist and then I"m not quite sure I trust it.

Thanks

Ann

Ann,

You can go to clanthompson.com

If you click on Download site and then click on Demo Download Page You will get a free drug list. You can also have access to a gluten free food list from this site.

Good luck.

p.s.: Your dad's smile was a true ray of sunshine. I can see how he helped to keep you strong. Besides, seeing the picture, I thought "That can't be a picture of Ann"'. :D

Thank you Cindy! I will definitely check out the site. I am trying to make sure all my ra meds are not getting me glutened when I'm trying so hard to clean out! It would be nice to print off a gluten-free food list to carry with me too.

Thank you for you comments on my Dad. He was a good man by all accounts. That would be a funny looking 'Ann' ;)

The fastest and most up-to-date is to call the manufacturers yourself. If they tell you they don't add gluten but they can't guarantee ingredient suppliers, it's gluten-free.

I don't bother to ask the pharmacist. They don't know and often don't have time to find out.

I like this website:

Open Original Shared Link

Click on the letter that your medication starts with under "Complete Pharmaceutical Monographs". When looking at medication, you should find the ingredients in the "Availability And Storage" section.

Thanks Carrie -

I looked up one of my medicines. You really have a lot to look through. When I got down to the ingredients it specifically said "Gluten Free". :) .

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.

      I was just diagnosed at 26 after accidental finding. Any simple tips for newbies? Things a non celiac would never think of? I already went through my prescriptions and identified some medications that have gluten. Is there a beginners guide? Celiac for dummies?
    • trents
      Would it be rude to ask your age?

      Wow! Thank you @trents I  really appreciate the responses. This line of diagnosis has me questioning a lot of symptoms over the course of my life. Very validating and very much a bummer at the same time.
