Has anyone confirmed if Claritin is gluten free? I think their website is pretty vague...

Both Claritin and Reactine are gluten free here in Canada. I'm not sure about the US though. I do wish countries would get together on this stuff seeing as how we are so close to the border :rolleyes:

I don't know about the casein, but Claritan is gluten-free.

I have also confirmed that the generic Loratidine (Equate, made by Novartis) is gluten-free. I called on 3/7/2006. You can find it at Wal-mart and it is a lot cheaper than the brand name.

This is great to know--thanks for checking on it :) Claritan gets expensive--and the Zyrtek has a co-pay with our insurance of $45!!

I called my Dr. this a.m. to ask about Allegra and Singulair and he said go ahead.

Does anyone take these? ;)

Judy, Claritin (and Claritin-D) have casein. I found this out after I'd been taking it for 3 months! :o (I'm casein intolerant). It was a low enough dose to not exactly mess me up big time, but it was keeping me from feeling as well as I could. I found that most of the over the counter anti histamines have a lactose/milk-derived base. I went to People's Pharmacy and got them to make me a compound version of Claritin-D with zero extra stuff in it, just the medicine in a capsule. You will need a prescription for it though, I got one from my allergy doc.

      Curious question

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was...

      Celiac Disease and Longevity: Can Treatment and Healing Improve Long-Term Survival?

      Thanks for the prompt reply. Interesting that blood test could be caused by other things. I am sure Dr Fincher will get to the bottom of it. I know he ate nowhere near that amt of gluten before the endoscope. Always interested in any new info abt celiac. U can not trust what is said on fb- That would be a piece of bread a day. He didn't even make that...

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
