Is there something in Tylenol and Advil that you can't have? Both are gluten-free. I also take Anacin and Kroger aspirin.

We use children's Tylenol and children's Motrin for my kids. I use Tylenol and Tylenol PM for myself for pain and fevers.

God bless,

dasieydday76,

They did not say they had gluten in them, right? They just said they couldn't "guarantee" that they were gluten free. That is because some of their ingredients may come from other suppliers and they may not want to risk legal action (some people are sue crazy!) by giving you information they cannot verify 100%. This does NOT mean they have gluten in them. I use Tylenol almost daily, and I would be very sick if there was gluten in them...

God bless,

Mariann

Of course, not all types of Tylenol/Advil are gluten-free, but I take advil for pain/headache relief. Before I found out that some type of Advil was gluten-free, there was this homeopathic stuff that was fine, but I found it hard to swallow...

huh... I've never had a problem with advil - I use the liqui-gels... I'll have to call them (and the people who make Aleve) on that one.

we called a gluten free pharmancy and they said that advil coats them with flour some days and doess't other days so if you get a good batch you should be fine but if you get a bad batch then you will ger sick.

Yuck...really? Why would they coat it with flour some days, and not others? That's pretty dumb. Anyway, last night I finished an Advil bottle with a headache, so I'll be careful with my next pain reliever...

If you call stokes pharmacy the gluten free pharmacy, they will tell you that the only 100% gluten free over the counter pain reliver is glodline baby asprine but they can compound you a gluten free ibuprophine if your doctor sends them a prescription, we called them when i was getting sick from advil. the only gluten-free tylenol is Grape Suspension and i can't swallow liquid at all

This is quite an old post so here's some updated information on the matter. I also live in Canada where labelling laws seem to be different. I was having some bad reactions and decided to further investigate what I was consuming. WARNING: Advil Liqui-Gels (green colored capsules) have gluten in them. It's found in the sorbitol from what I remember the Customer Rep telling me. I also asked them to e-mail this information so I had a hard copy. I'll post this when they send it.

You should try taking generic ibuprofen because it isn't coated at all. I've never gotten sick from either... the generic form or Advil. Maybe it's coincidental that you are getting sick... also, sounds strange, but if you may actually be making yourself sick. I don't want to say that it's all in your head, because I don't know you and that would be rude, but don't think about getting sick from them next time you take it and see what happens... the generic form though. (:

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  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.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
