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.

      Interesting, when I suffered for a few months with ectopics I noticed that carbohydrates would cause indigestion and bloating in my stomach, then that would lead to my heart skipping beats, and I could feel it in my throat, it was very unsettling.  My last serious bout of this was after eating a Muller Rice Pudding for breakfast.   I happened to be wearing a 48 hour halter at the time and cardiology picked it up, but they weren't worried about what they saw. There was some British doctor who'd made some videos on the Vagus nerve that I remember watching at the time which made sense of what I was experiencing, there did seem to be some sort of connection.

      I asked my cardiologist about stopping vitamins.  He said his tests account for all detectable vitamins from sources other than food.  I only need to stop them for a couple of days.  He has me keep records of meds and vitamins I've ingested over the past 10 days and prior and he does his calculations.

      Reply to treats I try and eat to bring up the glucose. Sometime I get up 3 times a night and eat something. I don't think food is the issue. A lot of the food they say should help doesn't.  Many mornings my level is 59 and I feel sick, sometimes for hours. It has been recommended I go to an Endocrinologist.
