Hi everyone! I was recently prescribed venlafaxine HCL ER (the generic of Effexor) produced by Zydus Pharmaceuticals. I know the brand name drug is gluten free but the water is always murky when dealing with generics. Can anyone find gluten information on their website or know of a number I can call to confirm? I tried reaching out via email and have not heard back.

Thanks Scott! I already tried that here. Is the best course of action just to google each specific ingredient since gluten does not have to specifically be identified?

Here are the inactive ingredients.  None of these should contain gluten.  You would need to ask the manufacturer if there is any risk of contamination. In the unlikely event that there was contamination, the amount you might ingest from a small capsule would be very, very tiny.

SILICON DIOXIDE (UNII: ETJ7Z6XBU4)  

CETOSTEARYL ALCOHOL (UNII: 2DMT128M1S)  

GELATIN (UNII: 2G86QN327L)  

HYPROMELLOSES (UNII: 3NXW29V3WO)  

CELLULOSE, MICROCRYSTALLINE (UNII: OP1R32D61U)  

ETHYL ACRYLATE AND METHYL METHACRYLATE COPOLYMER (2:1; 750000 MW) (UNII: P2OM2Q86BI)  

SODIUM LAURYL SULFATE (UNII: 368GB5141J)  

TALC (UNII: 7SEV7J4R1U)  

TITANIUM DIOXIDE (UNII: 15FIX9V2JP)  

FERRIC OXIDE RED (UNII: 1K09F3G675)  

FERROSOFERRIC OXIDE (UNII: XM0M87F357)

Thank you all! I am a very recent celiac diagnosis and accidentally took a medication with gluten in it a few months ago so I am just weary!

Best way to check for CC might be to call the manufacturer and ask if the med is produced on a dedicated line. You can get the manufacturer's phone number from the pharmacy vendor that handles it.

Is it feasible to get the brand-name version of the drug?

We have that information. The problem is with the generic that the OP actually uses.

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      Yep,yep,yep, called it from experience. I've lived through SIBO and Candida myself. I get a different sorts of reactions to dairy, high sugar consumption, and gluten. I react to Casein, the protein in dairy. Try the AIP diet. Dr. Sarah Ballantyne designed it and is a Celiac herself. Her book, the Paleo Approach, has been most helpful.

      Gluten Allergy

      Yes, I know. Without sufficient Folate, Cobalamine, and Pyridoxine, the body can't get rid of high homocysteine levels. High homocysteine levels make one restless, interferes with sleep and resembles ADHD symptoms. High homocysteine levels occur in Celiac Disease. Chronic high histamine levels lead to high homocysteine levels. Impact of supplementation...

      You called it @knitty kitty. I went to another health care provider for another opinion, and based on some tests they did, they suggested I might also be dealing with a fungal issue (candida and/or mold). I saw that you mentioned before in this chain that some people on this forum also get Candida infections. So it seems that I am possibly dealing that...

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      I'm concerned about calcium. I don't think I'm getting enough especially since I ended up having to get off dairy when I went gluten free. However, if you have too much calcium, it can deposit in the wrong places and you can get thinks like bone spurs. I'd like find a decent supplement for that. Was thinking of looking into the algae based calcium supplements...

      bread

      Wanted to tell someone, I finally made an edible gluten free bread. It took me several hours to make and it didn't taste like what I was trying to make, but it did taste like a bread. Was looking all over for bread machine recipes and I ran across this one on the Internet: https://www.snapcalorie.com/recipes/gluten_free_oat_challah_bread_machine.html ...

I think some of the symptoms that I've been not able to understand now make a lot of sense within this context (such as why eating dairy and sugar sometimes causes me to get headaches, joint pain, chills, feel like I have the flu... if these things are making the candida infection worse by feeding the candida, and then my body responds by trying to fight it off, then I basically am fighting off an infection, which is exactly what it feels like).  The flu-like reaction that I get when I eat dairy is a distinct reaction than the one I get from getting glutened (which is also bad, but different: headache, sharp abdominal pains, gas, diarrhea). That's what made me think there was something else at play.
