Gluten Free Medications

[Guest kathy_ann]

I'm very new to this forum, My mother comes here all the time. She now has cancer , and is also a celiac. She is suffering from celiac type symptoms, I have told her to contact her doctor first off. But I wanted to ask the group also, If they can tell me where to get information on if these drugs were gluten free.

Dexamethosone, metolazne, sprionolactone. I told her she needed to contact the pharmacist where she got them, And that more than likely it wasn't thedrugs causing this, they put her on a diff chemo this time, she said the doctor knows about her celiac. She's real frustrated and was crying when I just recently talked to her, I am going to call her back to see if she contacted the doctor yet.

thanks in advance for the help

Thanks so much Stacie for the wonderful web sites, their real helpful, I just talked to my step father, They both seem to think that it's the latest chemo that she's taking that is causing all the problems, as most of those drugs I mentioned she'd been taking for quite some time. I did find out that all were gluten free except for the sprionalactone, that's the generic name, and it didn't mention if it was generic, But i'm about to go see if the regular name for it is gluten free. She's really had a rough time, She was diagnosed with phase 4 breast cancer which matasticised to her lungs, liver & brain, & lymphnodes. She's been on chemo for about 6 months now, the cancer is gone in the body except one spot in the lungs, and the brain cancer has reduced 50% so I'd say that's excellent for someone who's suppose to be terminal with cancer. They gave her no hope really at all. But she's not givin up yet.

thanks again for the help

You are welcome I am happy to hear they helped. I am sorry to hear about your mom. It's good that the chemo seems to be working and that your mom has not given up hope. I am sure she is having a tough time with Chemo on top of Celiac. She is in my thoughts and prayers.

Hi Kathy,

I'm new to the forum (I don't know why I'm listed as advanced on some threads) and I have a list of medications that are all supposed to be gluten free. We still need to read all the labels carefully.
