Sorry> I spelled it wrong. Acyclovir I think. Generic for Zovirax.

Are you implying the blisters may be caused by the drug or are you taking the drug to treat the blisters? Need more detail.

I have the blisters and would like to know if it is safe to take the generic acyclovir or will I get glutened? I am also not able to tolerate corn or rice and seem to be sensitive to salicylates as well.

The only thing you can do to determine if the generic drug is gluten free is to ask the pharmacy to contact their supplier for info about the inactive ingredients it contains.

All I know is that the name brand drug is gluten free.

Loraleena,

If a brand name is gluten-free, it dosen't mean that the generic will be, too.

The best thing to do is call the manufacturer of the drug you have and ask them. I've always had good luck with either speaking to a nurse or a pharmacist. This goes for both brand name and generic drugs.

If you don't know who made the medicine, ask the pharmacist where you filled the Rx--they can tell you that much.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
