Hey guys, this is a little embarrasing, but I need help. I need to know if Yasmin birth control is gluten free or not. It's relativley new, and I can't find it on any lists.( I've checked glutenfreedrugs.com and several others) I've taken it for at least two years, but my diagnosis was in April and I'm still checking on all my logistics. If anyone knows, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

I would just contact the manufacturer.

I found this:

The inactive ingredients are lactose monohydrate NF, corn starch NF, modified starch NF, povidone 25000 USP, magnesium stearate NF, hydroxylpropylmethyl cellulose USP, macrogol 6000 NF, talc USP, titanium dioxide USP, ferric oxide pigment, yellow NF. The inert film coated tablets contain lactose monohydrate NF, corn starch NF, povidone 25000 USP, magnesium stearate NF, hydroxylpropylmethyl cellulose USP, talc USP, titanium dioxide USP.

They have "modified starch" which could be wheat, I would call the company to confirm the source of the starch.

Ahhh man...I sure hope Yasmin is gluten-free b/c i've had some issues w/ some other pills and Yasmin has worked great for me. I'll be so disappointed if it's got gluten in it....if someone contacts the manufactor before I do PLEASE post or e-mail me. And I'll do the same. Thanks!

I take them as well and I haven't had any problems with them. They've been the best pills I've taken so far.

Just an FYI, a friend of mine was taking Yasmin and developed an extreme sensitivity to Ibuprofen while taking it. After ending up in the emergency room for an anaphylactic reaction, she read the insert with Yasmin and it said something about not taking certain NSAIDS while using it. I'm not sure exactly why, but one Dr. told her that it was common for Yasmin users to become "allergic" to certain OTC drugs.

Just ask the prescribing Dr. for more info and call the manufacturer as well ok? :)

I would ask your pharmasist to read up on it. Most have the phone numbers, ect. of the manufacturers and---the nice ones will call them for you.

I am on Alesse 21, which is gluten free, and have not had any problems with it.

I've been on Yasmin since I've been diagnosed, for about 2 years and have never had a problem...my doctor was aware of my diagnosis when she perscribed it as well... :D

I was wondering the same thing since Im just starting on Yasmin. I actually called the manufacturer just yesterday, and they said that it is safe , gluten-free. Hope that helps.

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      Wondering if anyone knows whether Lindt chocolate balls are gluten free. The Lindt Canadian website says yes but the Lindt USA website says no. The information is a bit confusing.

      Study Estimates the Costs of Delayed Celiac Disease Diagnosis (+Video)

      Even though my brother almost died in his 40s because of coeliac disease, no one ever told family members that we should be tested. As a result, I was almost 70 years old when an orthopaedic doctor suggested that I be tested for coeliac disease. My count was greater than 250. I had loved my bread, baking, especially pies and was never sick, but did not absorb...

      CT with contrast.

      I didn’t know there were different types of CT. I’m not sure which I had. It just said CT scan with contrast.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I had the same thing happen to me at around your age, and to this day it's the most painful experience I've ever had. For me it was the right side of my head, above my ear, running from my nerves in my neck. For years before my outbreak I felt a tingling sensation shooting along the exact nerves that ended up exactly where the shingles blisters appeared. I highly recommend the two shot shingles vaccine as soon as your turn 50--I did this because I started to get the same tingling sensations in the same area, and after the vaccines I've never felt that again.  As you likely know, shingles is caused by chicken pox, which was once though of as one of those harmless childhood viruses that everyone should catch in the wild--little did they know that it can stay in your nervous system for your entire life, and cause major issues as you age.
