Hi, I was wondering if the information I got was correct, that Lipitor is not glutend free. My Doctor prescribed it and I felt awful when I took it 3 times. I stopped and then read in a gluten information book that it was not gluten free. Anyone else have any information on this. Thank you so much.

I am on Lescol for cholesterol have been for over 5 months and I have had no side effects from it. Lipitor and Zocor both made me sick.

Can you tell me what gluten-free book you found that information in?

In reality virtually all prescription medicines are gluten-free, although many companies now give you the CYA routine (if they tell you it's not supposed to have gluten but they won't guarantee it, you can assume it's gluten-free). I'd call Pfizer and ask them, but if I remember correctly they're not real cooperative.

Found this site. Not about gluten, but is about Lipitor. Not sure of the source, but interesting stuff and lots of links.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.
