I found some old posts on here in regards to the medication Nortriptyline but was wondering if anyone knew for sure if the medication is gluten-free. It does have starch but said made from corn maze????  I have been on 10mg of Nortriptyline for 30+ years for headaches. I am afraid to come off of it for I sure don’t want the headaches to come back. They were awful. Any help is appreciated.

Thank you. This will be so helpful. I have recently made an appointment with a dr at Celiac Clinic at Vanderbilt in Nashville. I am anxious to go and hope they can get me on a good path to deal with DH. As part  of their team they have a nutritionist that I can’t wait to meet with and see what I am doing wrong/right on this journey.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
