Provigil Still Has Gluten In It

Filled a script for Provigil today and took one. But I had this nagging feeling that sometime back in the past I had found out it contained gluten. I called the company and yes- I had called in 2006 and 2 years later it STILL contains gluten in the NON-ACTIVE ingredients. It's a starch and the company does not even know which gluten it is.

How a company can get away with this when SO many people have actually allergies and it's not a necessary ingredient is beyond me. I am hopping mad right now!!!!

Yeah, my daughter is finally getting serious about removing all the gluten from her life, and that is one thing she still needs to deal with. What have you used instead?

I don't know- I just picked it up today. I've heard Adderall or some of the other ADD meds (Ritalin) might work. Will talk to my doc tomorrow.

I reacted to Provigil too, didn't notice until I went gluten-free, I take it PRN, every time I took it Chronic D <_< ...days I didn't take Provigil NO D !!

Trust the body ...the body knows.

I just this week had my doc switch me to Adderal. Much Better.

      Welcome to the forum, @linnylou73! Are you claiming this based on a reaction or based upon actual testing?

      This varies a lot from person to person. I include foods that are not certified gluten-free but are labelled "gluten-free", while super sensitive people only use certified gluten-free. Both types of products have been found to contain gluten, so there are no guarantees either way: It you are in the super sensitive group, eating a whole foods based diet where you prepare everything is the safest bet, but it's also difficult. Eating out is the the most risky, even if a restaurant has a gluten-free menu. I also include items that are naturally gluten-free, for example refried beans, tuna, pasta sauces, salsas, etc., which have a low overall risk of contamination.

      Juice shots? Anti inflammatory

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I avoid turmeric now because I'm on low dose aspirin, but used to use this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08HYBN4DJ My recipes always vary according to what I have on hand, but my base is a frozen berry mix from Trader Joe's: https://www.traderjoes.com/home/products/pdp/fruits-greens-smoothie-blend-075603 In the warmer months I include herbs from my garden like Italian parsley and basil. I add almond milk as well.
