Hi All,

I just called Wyeth (1-800-322-3129) today to ask specifically if they maintain a gluten-free products list. While they do not maintain a list, they were willing to take questions on any specific products. Here are the results of my call:

Advil - all Advil products are gluten free (tablets, caplets, gelcaps, etc.), including Advil Cold & Sinus. That was was pretty easy, and pretty important to me. I play volleyball and am having shoulder problems, and I've played my last few tournaments since my diagnosis without taking any ibuprofen for fear of getting sick b/c info online was sketchy. So that's good to know.... (btw, anyone know about Motrin?)

Robitussin - Most Robitussin products are gluten free, I specifically asked about Robitussin DM and Robitussin Chest Congestion. She said the liquid and the Robitussin Cough Gels are gluten free.

ChapStick - She was able to say that ALL ChapStick products are gluten-free. Has anyone else heard this before? I'm interested to see what someone else might hear if they call.

Centrum - I am currently taking Centrum Advanced Formula, but today was my last dose. She said that they can confirm that it is "wheat-free" but cannot confirm at this time that it does not have gluten from other sources. She said that it is being tested and they should have this information in the near future.

And that's all. Just wanted to share! Let me know if anyone has gotten conflicting information from the same source!

Thanks,

Joe

      Wheat Straw Dishes

      By SophiesMom · Posted

      I have been looking for new dishes. I was surprised to find dishes made of wheat straw. Are these safe for us? I'm very careful to avoid products that may contain gluten. I never thought I might have to check for wheat in dishes.

      IgA levels - What do they mean?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Hope07! The reference range would refer to what is considered normal in healthy people. So, 7 or less would mean there is no indication of "active" celiac disease. Apparently, you are doing very will in avoiding gluten. The "Tissue Transglutaminase IGA" is the centerpiece antibody test that clinicians run when checking for celiac disease. My only reservation would be that whenever the TTG-IGA test is run, a "total IGA" test should also be run to check for IGA deficiency. When IGA deficiency is present, other IGA tests, such as the TTG-IGA can be artificially low and result in false positives. In the absence of any symptoms indicating your celiac disease is...

      Going on a cruise next week and I’m a celiac. Bought a bottle of GliandinX. Should I just take two tablets per day as a precaution? Never tried this before!! Any help is appreciated!!

      IgA levels - What do they mean?

      By Hope07 · Posted

      Hola! Not sure if I’m asking this in the right place so apologies if not! I just had a full blood count as part of my first check up after being diagnosed with celiac disease 7 years ago!! With Covid lockdowns then living in Spain for 3 years and now back in the UK, I kept getting missed in the system but finally I’ve had a check up! Does anyone know what this means?  Tissu transglutaminase IgA lev:  0.30 U/ml Reference range:  Below 7 Thank you!
