Has anyone else had problems with the Sam's brand of Ibuprofen? I took it everyday for about a week and my symptoms got to the point where I was almost bedridden. Didn't make the connection soon enough I guess. I've tried calling the 800 but gave up both times after being on hold for over 30 minutes. I can't find a way to contac them via email.

Not that brand, but I switched from Advil to a Rite Aid generic brand for a couple days and I was sick. I had no idea what it was. I wasnt eating gluten I was sure of it. So maybe it was that, maybe not. I also called the 800 line with no help. To be safe I went out and bought the Advil brand for next time I need it. Cant say for sure what it was, b/c I do occassionally go throught nausea spells.

It would be best to confirm it's gluten/gluten free status with the company.

I took the Member's Mark Ibuprofen yesterday and about a 1/2 later noticed swelling in my legs and face and bloating in my stomach--I went through everything I ate and there was nothing that contained Gluten. I've been running into all kinds of gluten issues with medicine...no more member's mark ibuprofen or Target brand Vitamins.

I have confirmed that Member's Mark Ibuprofen are gluten free in three ways: the list of ingredients matches the list of gluten-free excepients from the Gluten Intolerance Group's list, I called the customer service number on the bottle (they confirmed it is gluten-free), and I found another website in which a dr claims it is gluten-free.

      nuts.com -- no longer Celiac safe?

      By lehum · Posted

      The article was shocking - and horrifying - to read. For me it’s a good argument to cook as many fresh foods as possible. I personally can’t do grain free because I lose weight too quickly and don’t feel full, but I will be sticking to companies I trust like Lundberg for rice.    I live in Germany and thankfully, labeling here is more transparent and more trustworthy than it appears to be in the U.S. these days (where I’m also originally from).  I am so sorry to hear this! May you heal quickly. ❤️

      Yes, it is unfortunate that the GFCO seems to have a policy that allows companies that it certifies to lower their guard the longer that they've had their certification. After jumping though the harder GFCO testing requirements for long enough they seem to "rubber stamp" companies and allow them to keep their certification with much less testing going forward. To me this is like having a restaurant where you train the staff one time about how do handle gluten-free foods, and do the training less and less over time, even though you might have high turnover in the industry. People in big food production and supply companies come and go, just like in restaurants, and it's important never to lower your guard.

      Diagnosed w Celiacs, but reacting to gluten-free Digiorno Pizza AND Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      There are tons of ingredients that can cause IBS-like issues in anyone, but especially in newly diagnosed celiacs, and it would probably make sense for us to do an article on that topic, but here is an article that might be helpful:

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      Thanks but that amount of gluten will def have me in chronic pain and discomfort. My hemorrhoids issues are quite severe. Part of the reason I've abandoned diagnosis.

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      By Beverage · Posted

      Are you exposed to any airborne sources of gluten? We have an older house and constantly fixing something. Cutting into old wall board or plaster can release gluten into the air. Also, the sickest i ever got was from taking care of my neighbor's chickens, they get excited and kick up everything, air filled with dust. Sure enough, their food contained gluten grain.  Any pets? If they are eating gluten, they lick themselves, you pet them .... my pets all eat grain free pet food. If I pet someone else's critters, which I am compelled to do, I immediately was hands.
