Sertraline?

Hi! I've just been prescribed sertraline and can't find if there are any safe versions out there. The pharmacy gave me a generic by aurobindo with sodium starch glycolate (no source specified). And the brand name (Pfizer) also has that ingredient, no source specified.

I'm trying to contact both companies to see if I can get a straight answer, but I hate relying on their claims that starch is safely sourced, since sometimes they don't really bother to check their shipments or record things properly. And given it's the holidays I don't know how soon I'll be able to reach someone at their customer service!

Does anyone know if any safe sertraline exists? Thanks!!

This site allows you to search for the prescription name and if you click on the result you can see it's ingredients. It it only lists "starch" it could contain wheat starch:

If it is in the pill form, it looks like it is possible that it could have wheat starch due to this ingredient "sodium starch glycolate" which can be "Starch glycolates are of rice, potato, wheat or corn origin":

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      I am curious: What was your initial level at? How many daily IUs were you taking via supplements and for how long? What did your level drop to? How many daily IUs are you taking now via supplements? Regards, Known1

      Celiac Disease, Lymphocytic colitis and Bowel rupture

      Welcome to the celiac.com community @MoniqueCham! Celiac disease damages the villous lining of the small bowel but, as far as I know, doesn't affect the underlying smooth muscle tissue of the bowel.

      I am monitored for this value of Vit D. I kept going down so the Vit D had to be increased.

      Celiac Disease, Lymphocytic colitis and Bowel rupture

      By MoniqueCham · Posted

      I was diagnosed with celiac disease 40 years ago and lymphocytic colitis 20 years ago along with refractory celiac disease affecting mid jejunum to mid ileum (diagnosed using a capsule endoscopy). My antibodies to tissue transglutaminase were normal on a strict gluten free diet. Both the lymphocytic colitis and the refractory celiac disease responded well to entocort. I have a number of autoimmune conditions including systemic granuloma annulaire (a skin condition) which was treated with methotrexate. I was on a low dose of methotrexate (15 mg once a week with folic acid every day when not taking methotrexate). In 5 months my sigmoid colon ruptured. Pathology reports show that I had significant necrosis of my sigmoid bowel due to no known cause and a large hole in the bowel. My surgeons felt that the methotrexate may have caused the damage and rupture to my bowel (1 in a million chance). My question is has anyone experienced similar issues with methotrexate given that the integrity of our intestines may be compromised in celiac disease?
