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.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Try adding some Thiamine Hydrochloride (thiamine HCl) and see if there's any difference. Thiamine HCl uses special thiamine transporters to get inside cells. I take it myself. Tryptophan will help heal the intestines. Tryptophan is that amino acid in turkey that makes you sleepy after Thanksgiving dinner. I take mine with magnesium before bedtime...

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

      I live in the upper mid-west and was just diagnosed with marsh 3c celiac less than a month ago. As a 51 year old male, I now take a couple of different gluten free vitamins. I have not noticed any reaction to either of these items. Both were purchased from Amazon. 1. Nature Made Multivitamin For Him with No Iron 2. Gade Nutrition Organic Quercetin...

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      I am doing a gluten challenge right now and I bought vital wheat gluten so I can know exactly how much gluten I am getting. One tablespoon is 7g so 1½ tablespoons of Vital Wheat Gluten per day will get you to 10g You could add it to bean burgers as a binder or add to hot chocolate or apple sauce and stir.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6. Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline, Q10, Selenium, D and DHEA.     Choline supplemented as phosphatidylcholine decreases fasting and postmethionine-loading plasma homocysteine concentrations in healthy men +
