Generic Medications

Hey Ya'll

I'm looking for non-prescription Generic medications (substitutes for Tylonol, Advil, Alieve, Excederin, etc.) that are gluten free.

Does anyone know of a store/pharmacy that will give a list of their generics that are gluten-free?

For instance, I know Wal-Mart's EQUATE store-brand Advil is inexpensive, but comparable to the name-brand. I have a cold and bought their EQUATE "sudafed" the other day, but I'm not sure if any of it is gluten-free.

Any suggestions? I appreciate your support! -Julie :blink::)B)

Thanks Deb. for the info.!

(At least I know that I'm safe to keep taking the medicine that I have already bought). :)

I sure appreciate it! Do you know if all medicines list all of the inactive ingredients on the box or bottle? I picked up some generic med. the other day, and I saw the active ingredients obviously displayed, but for the life of me, I couldn't spot the inactive ingredients on the box. ....maybe I just overlooked it... or maybe it was my hubby standing next to me begging to leave Wal-mart that distracted me! :rolleyes: (hee hee...he has a low Wal-mart crowd tolerance) :D

Well, have a good evening everyone! Thanks again Deb.

      Stomach hurts with movement

      By amantelchi · Posted

      I'd like to clarify: Is the pain you describe in the area just below your chest constant, or does it only appear when you start moving?

      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/
