Meds. Are They Gluten Free?

I started doing a search for these individually but the forum yields so many results, it takes a long time to go through them. :unsure:

Maybe someone who already has the hang of this knows off the top of their head?

I don't take meds regularly but need to occasionally. I was wondering if the following were gluten-free (and dairy free, if you know.)

Tylenol

Motrin

Imodium

Pepto

Tums

I remember reading that Gas X is not gluten-free. Is there an alternative that is?

Thanks in advance! :)

Tylenol & Pepto - gluten and dairy free, I take both of these without problems

Motrin & Imodium - I'm not sure, I don't take these

Gas-x gel caps - gluten free

Tums - not gluten free (I've read some flavors are/aren't gluten-free which is confusing enough for me to consider them not safe)

Gas-x chewables - not gluten free

Great alternative to Tums and Gas-x is Pepcid AC chewables which are gluten and dairy free. The Pepcid AC website typically has great coupons. Last one I got was for $3 off.

Imodium is gluten-free.

Thanks for the replies! Again, this is such a helpful place. :)

Today will be my first trip to the grocery store with the "dairy free" label added to myself.

I know I'll need something to take in about 10 days when AF rears her ugly head. The cramps are killer.

I rarely get heartburn but I did the other day and didn't have anything besides Tums here. I ate them like candy during my pregnancies.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
