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.

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight.  My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she suggested it.

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet.  I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now.  He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs.  It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc.  It's literally neurological inflammation.  Not to be taken lightly here.  We have sought out many other possible ways to cope during this window of time (8 months!!!!)  without success.   AN-PEP does not help and seems like studies on this are not well researched.  So, we are trying this out because research shows some promising results.  And, all participants showed no cravings afterwards, no signs of addiction.  The patch is different than the oral route such as smoking, vaping, gum, pouch, etc.

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-Free.

      Hi all  I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also].  BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering if others suffer from nausea, even if following a gluten free diet.
