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.

Tylenol and Advil both have gluten in them we called the companies and they said they were not guaranteeed to be gluten-free

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...

they told me they had gluten in them and whenever i take any kind of advil or tylenol i throw up

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...

i thought Advil said that they were gluten-free.

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. (:

Watch the dates on the posts. This is a 7 year old thread. Not likely the original poster will seel your comment.

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long?   DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule.  This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are  produced in response to.   TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to gluten.  The tTg IgA antibodies attack our own cells because a structural component in our cell membranes resembles a part of gluten.  There's a correlation between the level of intestinal damage with the level of tTg antibodies produced.  You are not producing a high number of tTg IgA antibodies, so your level of tissue damage in your intestines is not very bad.  Be thankful.   There may be reasons why you are not producing a high quantity of tTg IgA antibodies.  Consuming ten grams or more of gluten a day for two weeks to two months before blood tests are done is required to get sufficient antibody production and damage to the intestines.  Some undiagnosed people tend to subconsciously avoid lots of gluten.  Cookies and cakes do not contain as much gluten as artisan breads and thick chewy pizza crust.  Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can affect IgA antibody production as well.   Do you carry genes for Celiac?  They frequently go along with EDS.

      I was tested for celiac at the same time, so I wasn't taking naltrexone yet. I say that, because I don't. The endoscopy showed some mild inflammation but was inconclusive as to celiac disease. They took several biopsies and that's all that was shown. I was not given a Marsh score.

      Food and environmental allergies involve IgE antibodies.  IgE antibodies provoke histamine release from mast cells.   Celiac disease is not always visible to the naked eye during endoscopy.  Much of the damage is microscopic and patchy or out of reach of the scope.  Did they take any biopsies of your small intestine for a pathologist to examine?  Were you given a Marsh score? Why do you say you "don't have intestinal damage to correlate with lifelong undiagnosed celiac disease"?   Just curious.

      I was tested for food allergies and environmental allergies about 7 months before I started taking Naltrexone, so I don't think that is the cause for me, but that's interesting!  The main thing with the celiac thing that is throwing me off is these symptoms are lifelong, but I don't have intestinal damage to correlate with lifelong undiagnosed celiac disease.

      Welcome to the forum, @Kara S! Warrior bread is a grain free bread product. Google it. There are commercial mixes available, I believe, Youtube videos and many recipes.
