Are These Meds Gluten-free?

I've started having diarrhea and lightly colored, narrow stools. I've taken out soy, eggs, milk, and gluten, and these meds are the only thing I've added to my diet.

I know Ambien is gluten-free, but frequently side effects of medicines can be D.

Are you taking the generic for these brands or the actual brand itself? I know Ambien is gluten-free.

The Ambien is the name brand, tramidol is the generic for Ultram.

Tramadol is manufactured by several different companies, so you really have to verify with the company if it's gluten-free or not, get the pharmacist to help you with this. I take Tramadol mfd by Purepac, they don't add any gluten to their product but they won't guarantee it gluten-free, but I don't have any trouble with that company.

Ultram is on the glutenfree list.

Ultram is on the glutenfree list.

So next time I'll be sure to ask for the name brand.

Thanks, all!

Here is what I do when I need to find out what the non chemical ingredients are, I have the pharmacist open their books and search what all the ingredients medicinal and non medicinal are in the meds. They are so used to me that now they automatically check when they get a prescription.

I take tramadol to help with my muscle and bone pain when I sleep. And so far it hasn't given me any bad reactions to speak of.

      @Scott Adams That's actually exactly what I ended up asking for— vodka tonic with Titos.  I saw on their website that Tito's is certified gluten-free (maybe many of the clear vodkas are, I don't know, I just happened to look up Tito's in advance). I should have actually specified the 'splash' though, because I think with the amount of tonic she put in there, it did still end up fairly sweet.  Anyway, I think I've almost got this drink order down!

      Be interesting to see the effects of dairy reintroduction with gluten. As well as milk protein sensitivity in and of itself the casein part particularly has been shown to mimic gluten in about 50% of celiacs. Keep us posted!

      She has been dairy free for six years, so she’d already been dairy free for two years at her last testing and was dairy free for the entire gluten challenge this year as well (that had positive results). However, now that we’re doing another biopsy in six weeks, we decided to do everything we can to try to “see” the effects, so we decided this past week to add back in dairy temporarily for breakfast (milk and cereal combo like you said).

      Hi Christiana, Many thanks for your response.  Interestingly, I too cannot eat wheat in France without feeling effects (much less than in the US, but won't indulge nonetheless).  I also understand children are screened for celiac in Italy prior to starting their education. Wise idea as it seems my grandson has the beginning symptoms (several celiacs in his dad's family), but parents continue to think he's just being difficult.  Argh.  There's a test I took that diagnosed gluten sensitivity in 2014 via Entero Labs, and am planning on having done again.  Truth be told, I'm hoping it's the bromine/additives/preservatives as I miss breads and pastas terribly when home here in the states!  Be well and here's to our guts healing ❤️

      Lol that’s so true! Hope you get clarity, it’s tough when there’s doubt. There’s so much known about celiac disease with all the scientific research that’s been done so far yet practically and clinically there’s also so much unknown, still. Out of curiosity what’s her dairy consumption like? Even compared to early years to now? Has that changed? Calcium is dependent in the mechanism of antigen presenting cells in the gut. High calcium foods with gluten grains can initiate inflammation greater.  This is why breakfast cereals and milk combo long term can be a ticking time bomb for genetically susceptible celiacs (not a scientific statement by any means but my current personal opinion based on reasoning at present). Milk and wheat are the top culprits for food sensitivity. Especially in childhood. There are also patient cases of antibodies normalising in celiac children who had milk protein intolerance/ delayed type allergy. Some asymptomatic. There were a couple of cases of suspected celiacs that turned out to have milk protein intolerance that normalised antibodies on a gluten containing diet. Then there were others that only normalised antibodies once gluten and milk was eliminated. Milk kept the antibodies positive. Celiac disease is complicated to say the least.
