Citizen's Petition To The Food And Drug Administration (fda) To Make Drugs Gluten-free

Hi, I just wanted to make sure everyone see's this. I know it is a subject that is dear to my heart as it most likley is from many of us. We shouldn't have to wonder whether a drug is safe for us and we shouldn't have to suffer the consequences when we get one that isn't. Having to fight a gluten reaction while the body is trying to deal with whatever issues the actual ailment's effects is definately counterproductive for me. The gluten reaction can also effect the amount of the actual drug, at times making it practically useless since we don't absorb it. I feel strongly that gluten should not be allowed in our drugs, in any form.

I read through the entire petition, reply,and commentary and sent my own comments for submission, as well. I think this has a very strong chance of being passed into regulation very soon. Good for him!!! Thank you, Michael Weber!
