Pepsid Complete

[bklyn]

I just called to check on Pepsid Complete and was told that are "testing" to see if it is gluten-free. They did not have a date as to when they would know. I thought I read on this forum that it was gluten-free. Should I take it?

Based on that responce, I personally would not take it.

I wrote to them last week. I'm taking Pepcid AC for heartburn/ulcers. Here's their response...Go Figure.

For the remainder of McNeil's products: Glutens are naturally-occurring proteins found in grains such as wheat, rye, barley and oats, but are not found in corn. The source of starch in this formulation is corn. Other inactive ingredients may be derived from a source other than corn. We are not aware of published reports associating the use of our products according to package label directions with a worsening of symptoms in patients with celiac disease. We hope this information is helpful.

The list doesn't contain Pepcid and the representative on the phone told you they were testing it. I'd avoid.
