Generic Ibuprofen - Gel Caps Vs Tablets

Good Morning All-

I have had increasingly bad arthritis issues since going gluten-free. Just this week I realized that during this time I stopped taking Ibuprofen (been using for joint/misc pain for years). I started taking Ibuprofen again and my joints have begun to improve.

I had always taken generic advil tablets, but this winter I purchased Kirkland (costco) gelcaps....it seems that I am having a reaction to the gel caps, but not the tablets...checked the ingredients for the gel caps and can't find a problem.

I have stopped taking the gelcaps, but was curious if anyone else has had a reaction to the gelcap?

Can't prove it, but I suspect that my first ever celiac rash this past winter was either started or worsened by the gelcaps.

      Pepsid alternative

      The inactive ingredients list you provided includes pregelatinized starch, which can sometimes be derived from wheat, meaning it may contain gluten. It's best to call them to verify this. https://www.pepcid.com/our-products/max-strength-pepcid-ac-cool-mint

      Welcome to the forum, @Gary Libby! This might be helpful: https://www.celiac.com/forums/forum/27-gluten-free-recipes-cooking-tips/ Also, just "google" for the gluten free version of something you like and want to try. For instance, google "gluten free recipe for meatloaf" or "gluten free recipe for tuna casserole".  There are also gluten free cookbooks available. There are a bunch of them offered on Amazon. The most important thing is to get a good handle on what gluten is and where and how it is hidden in food products. Many things you already eat are naturally gluten free but many things you would never expect to find gluten in will have it. For examples of the latter, Campbell's tomato soup and most soy sauces. Many canned soups contain gluten because wheat flour is used as a thickener and a texturing agent. You must get in the habit of reading ingredient labels, especially the allergen section.

      Hi, is Pepsid safe for those with celiac? If not ( and I belive it is not gluten-free) what are other alternatives? I was not able to find anything but gluten-free tums in CVS. But I really need famotidine. Thank you
