Hi all,

I searched, but can't find anything on the board about this. Does anyone know if Alieve (OTC pain reliever) is gluten-free? My support nurse for the MS injection I take has suggested it for helping with the side effects of the meds, and I don't know if I can take it. Don't have a bottle of it in the house, so thought I'd ask here first.

Thanks,

Jen

Can we also add to the Alieve question, the gluten-free question : which brand name aspirins are gluten-free? Someone in a prior post directed me to a site which used to be free and now they charge for this information (Clan Thompson I believe).

Thank you from both of us.

:D yesterday i found a wonderful site and it has a 23 page list of gluten free meds--its napervillegi.com you scroll down to the celiac disease, click on it and then just read through until u find the list for drugs and clanthompson.com has a page too, but i think they list them a little differently--i know i have taken aleve--anyways--go read it--ok--deb :rolleyes:

Thanks you your replies. Deb, I tried to find that site but couldn't, but in the search I DID find another one that answered my questions. Its:

Alieve is on the list as well as a bunch of other info.

Naproxyn sodium is my anti-inflammatory of choice, and generic prescription strength pills give my stomach a what-for, so I go with over the counter stuff in a high enough dosage. I called the manufacturer of Aleve and they had the standard CYA statement: we don't put gluten in, but we can't guarantee the purity of the ingredients we get from suppliers. While the response annoys me (you don't know if you're putting something damaging to people in your product?!), I've never had a problem taking it, in doses up to 6 220mg tablets a day. (Yes, yes, under a physicians care... ;-) )

Aleve is gluten-free, but it can also be irritating, at least to me. I don't know if it is dairy free, so maybe that is what bothers me about it. Anyhow, it makes my intestines feel funny. I get this hot burning feeling as it moves through my small intestine. I found one website that says Aleve can aggrevate the symtpoms of microscopic colitis. I haven't been diagnosed with MC, but I have many of the symptoms of colitis in general and wonder if the Aleve bothers me for that reason as well.

I guess what I'm trying to say is to take it with caution if you have any form of colitis.

God bless,

Mariann

      Going Low-Gluten May Harm Good Gut Bacteria, Researchers Warn

      It's like a double edged sword.......we do one thing to improve a problem and cause another problem. I'd like to think the ultimate cure might be something that would train or modify the body to prevent the damage that gluten causes.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      You might try Heallix. It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball. It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again, not in your eyes or ears.

But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time. Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
