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. (:

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By tiffanygosci · Posted

      Hi! I had my first episode of AFib last May when I was 30 (I have had some heart stuff my whole life but nothing this extreme). I was not diagnosed with celiac until the beginning of this month in October of 2025. I was in the early stages of celiac, so I'm not sure if they were related (maybe!) All of my heart tests came back normal except for my electrolytes (potassium and magnesium) that were low when the AFib occurred. I also became pregnant with our third and last baby a couple weeks after I came back from that hospital stay. I had no heart complications after that whole thing. And I still haven't over a year later. It was definitely scary and I hope it doesn't happen again. I drink an electrolyte drink mix about every day, and I'm sure being on a gluten-free diet will help my body even more! I will pray for you in this. Taking care of our bodies is so challenging but Jesus is with us every step of the way. He cares and He sees you!

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      I followed the Autoimmune Protocol Diet which is really strict for a while, but later other foods can be added back into your diet.  Following the AIP diet strictly allows you digestive system to heal and the inflammation to calm down.  Sort of like feeding a sick baby easy to digest food instead of spicy pizza.   It's important to get the inflammation down because chronic inflammation leads to other health problems.  Histamine is released as part of the autoimmune response to gluten.  High histamine levels make you feel bad and can cause breathing problems (worsening asthma), cardiovascular problems (tachycardia), and other autoimmune diseases (Hashimoto's thyroiditis, diabetes) and even mental health problems. Following the low histamine version of the AIP diet allows the body to clear the histamine from our bodies.  Some foods are high in histamine.  Avoiding these makes it easier for our bodies to clear the histamine released after a gluten exposure.   Vitamin D helps regulate the immune system and calm it down.  Vitamin D is frequently low in Celiacs.  The B Complex vitamins and Vitamin C are needed to clear histamine.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals boosts your intestines' ability to absorb them while healing.   Keep in mind that gluten-free facsimile foods, like gluten-free bread, are not enriched with added vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts are.   They are empty calories, no nutritional value, which use up your B vitamins in order to turn the calories into fuel for the body to function.   Talk to your doctor or nutritionist about supplementing while healing.  Take a good B Complex and extra Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine (shown to promote gut health).  Most B Complex vitamins contain thiamine mononitrate which the body cannot utilize.  Meats and liver are good sources of B vitamins.   Dr. Sarah Ballantyne wrote the book, the Paleo Approach.  She's a Celiac herself.  Her book explains a lot.   I'm so glad you're feeling better and finding your balance!

      So I should not eat my gluten free bread?  I will try the vitamins.  Thank you all so very much for your ideas and understanding.  I'm feeling better today and have gathered back my composure!

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Some people prefer eating gluten before bed, then sleeping through the worst symptoms at night.  You might want to try that and see if that makes any difference.   Several slices of toast for breakfast sounds okay.  Just try to work up to the Ten grams of gluten.  Cookies might only have a half of a gram of gluten.  The weight of the whole cookie is not the same as the amount of gluten in it.  So do try to eat bread things with big bubbles, like cinnamon rolls.   Yeah, I'm familiar with the "death warmed over" feeling.  I hope you get the genetic test results quickly.  I despise how we have to make ourselves sick to get a diagnosis.  Hang in there, sweetie, the tribe is supporting you.
