Anyone know for sure if Wellbutrin is definitely gluten-free? Took half a pill today and am crawling out of my skin - have taken it before with great results, though.....

Thanks!

I have no info on gluten-free status, but be careful as it's very, very constipating. I had to stop taking it due to this.

I know in Canada it is, because I take it!

Debmidge, "constipating" I wish it was for me!!! LOL! :P I would be doing the happy dance!

When I first started on the meds, I felt like I was jumping out of my skin too. And while this one may have worked well for you before, it will take some re-adjusting to it (or you may have to switch). Remember too that if your GI tract is healing, it's absorbing things differently then before so you may have a different reaction.

Hope today's better!

It is listed on the gluten-free drug list at www.glutenfreedrugs.com.

i had that same reaction to MANY antidepressants. it helped me if i took a xanax with the antidepressant for about the first week until my body adjusted----then i didn't have that crawly sensation any more.

I also take Wellbutrin SR with no problems. I did notice, however, that you said you took 1/2 a pill. I know at least with the SR versions that you are not suppose to split the pill. I am not sure what it will do differently, but each time I get the RX, it says to swallow the pill whole - do not split, crush or chew.

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet.  I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now.  He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs.  It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc.  It's literally neurological inflammation.  Not to be taken lightly here.  We have sought out many other possible ways to cope during this window of time (8 months!!!!)  without success.   AN-PEP does not help and seems like studies on this are not well researched.  So, we are trying this out because research shows some promising results.  And, all participants showed no cravings afterwards, no signs of addiction.  The patch is different than the oral route such as smoking, vaping, gum, pouch, etc.

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-Free.

      Hi all  I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also].  BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering if others suffer from nausea, even if following a gluten free diet.

      @fatjacksonthecat I have been doing some digging about the topic of nicotine and celiac.  I came across many studies that showed that the nicotine patch helped many with long covid and chronic fatigue syndrome.  I have a son who was diagnosed with celiac and his symptoms are severe when he is glutened.  He shows a lot of neurological inflammation and suffered with fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety and insomnia. There have been studies revealing that nicotine smoke actually masking celiac symptoms.  I also read that microdosing with a nictoine patch prevents one from addiction.  We are currently trying this out and so far it has lifted the brain fog and helped with anxiety and mood.  One of the studies I have read showed that it's not so much the dose, but the length of time a person is on the patch that showed improvements.  Many showed significant improvement as early as week 3 and continued through week 12.  We are taking 3 day breaks in between to make sure we don't down regulate the nicotine receptors.   How have things been for you?  Are you still chewing nicotine gum?  Perhaps, try the patch?  And how long did it take to ease up on your symptoms when glutened?

      Hi @KathyR37 and a very warm welcome here.  I am so very sorry that you are going through all of this. I just wanted to check, have you ever been tested for any other gastrointestinal conditions? Cristiana
