Gluten Free Medications Now Not Gluten Free!

My Dr. says that I am still getting small amounts of gluten in my diet so I started calling again about all of my medicines. Suddenly medicines that were once gluten free are now getting the message: They do not contain gluten ingredients, but we cannot guarantee that the raw materials used in them is gluten free! I no longer have any antacids that are truly gluten free. Have you found your medicines to be the same message lately? Anyone have suggestions on a gluten free antacid?

Have yout tried Pepto Bismal liquid? That usually works great for me on the occasions that I get glutened. Even better is figuring out what is giving you pain and avoiding it. A food log can sometimes help.

Ditto. "Can't guarantee raw materials are gluten free" does not mean "contains gluten".

I tended to think that they were applying the CYA mentality and have continued my zantac. I have an ulcer and I have to have something. I have been desperately trying to figure out what caused the ulcer to happen, but in the meantime I need something to take to keep the acid down.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @yellowstone! The most common ones seem to be dairy (casein), oats, eggs, soy and corn. "Formed" meat products (because of the "meat glue" used to hold their shape) is a problem for some. But it can be almost anything on an individual basis as your sensitivity to rice proves, since rice is uncommonly a "cross reactor" for celiacs. Some celiacs seem to not do well with any cereal grains.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.
