Gf Heartburn Med's

I am on Prevacid for stomach acid treatment and am trying to ween myself off. I was wondering if anyone knows if Zantac or Pepcid AC (or like product) is gluten-free & safe to take?

Any info/help is greatly appreciated.

This is this sites gluten-free list of medications. This might help you out. I saw some of the things you mentioned on here.

Hope this helps

celiac3270,

You mentioned you took Prilosec, was it the over-the-counter kind or the prescription kind for kids?

My son was just prescribed the "disolve in your mouth" tablet for kids (prescription only).

Haven't heard back from company or pharmacist yet.

Thanks!

Oops.... just reaized, he prescribed Pevicid NOT Prilosec (he rambled off a bunch of meds...)

Any info on Previcid children's prescription 30mg tablets that disolve in the mouth would be great.

I have been on 60mg a day for at least two years and was worried that when i was diagnosed i would not be able to take it, but my mom called the medicine company and the 30mg tablet is gluten-free. I did not ask about the 15mg pill, but I would assume that it would be the same thing. Good luck

I was taking Prilosec OTC (over the counter)...just a regular one--not the kids kind--and the doctor had me taking two a day, rather than the suggested one.
