Anybody have any info on Zetia or Niaspan? Gluten-free or not?

I know that Lipitor is gluten-free....my dad has high cholesterol and uses it. Since I have just slightly high cholesterol, my mom thought it would be interesting to know if it was or wasn't gluten-free--even though I don't need medication for cholesterol at this point.

But I didn't see either of the two drugs you mentioned on the list. Contact the manufacturer and they should give you an answer.

The Celiac.com resource was the first place I checked, with no luck. And the drug mfg don't have email links on their websites. Guess it's time for a phone call on Monday.

I checked on the Niaspan about a month ago and it was gluten-free.

      Thank you Scott - I can’t think of much that’s changed diet wise but I’ll definitely try to see if any of this works and probiotics are a great idea thank you!

      4 Years and very little progress

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hello there @maylynn  I'm a slow healer from the UK.  I sympathise.  Despite three endoscopies which showed nothing wrong, I frequently suffered from a very sore stomach, bloating, feeling queasy.   For some time I was taking the wrong iron supplement (Floradix instead of Floravital - the former has gluten in it, but the latter none).  But I would say even very little iron from an approved source made my stomach sore, I think it can be quite irritating. Perhaps that is an issue for you? Oats (the gluten-free pure ones) were an issue for many years (now fine).   Even though my endoscopy findings did not reflect any problems with healing, or any other issues, I self-diagnosed...

      High IGA antigliadin, everything else normal, what does this mean?

      Yes, it would make sense to go mostly gluten free, since it gives your troubles.

      Yes, I made an effort to eat extra gluten at least 3 weeks before the endoscopy. I probably ate a some amount in the weeks before that. I had diarrhea, which resolved once I cut back after the endoscopy. So I think it would make sense to go mostly gluten free?

      Yay for the normal biopsy! Thanks for the follow up. Were you eating gluten prior to the endoscopy?
