Called Sandoz today (5/31) and they said they do not use Gluten in any of their drugs. They use corn or potato starches, none are Rye, Wheat or Barley.

I'm sorry, Faegan--I missed your post this morning (was in a hurry to get ready to go out). Sandoz told me the same thing--I take one of their generics for my blood pressure. Glad you got an answer! :)

I called sandoz today.  12.17.18.  They would not say whether gluten ingredients were used.  Just said "we cannot certify that our products are gluten free."  So I believe sandoz products are not safe for celiac like me.

Unfortunately, drug companies do not have to follow the FDA guidelines.  The pharmaceutical companies lobby hard!  I think a bill was shot down twice in Congress.  So, consider advocating for this cause. 

Your Sandoz amoxicillin online shows that it does not contain gluten ingredients.  But I took it two years ago.  Did I get glutened?  No way to prove it, but I am not using this manufacturer again.  Sandoz makes this in Romania now.

Consider supporting TEVA.  They disclose to the pharmacist who advocates for us.

We all need to be wary of our drugs whether we need to be gluten free or not:

Get involved and champion this cause!  If we can buy safely from a company like Kraft, we should be able to buy drugs safely too.

      Is it gluten?

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

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

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
