You can 'google' search 'nitrofurantion (sp?) ingredients' and read the ingredient list. I've taken many different antibacterial, antiparasitic and antifungal drugs. I always check the ingredient list online. You could also call a good pharmacy, especially a compounding pharmacy, and ask the ingredients of any drug.

Sometimes you can get a drug compounded (prepared) without gluten or other intolerance ingredients. I recently took Iodoquinol for the dientamoeba fragilis parasite. Iodoquinol normally contains a 'lactose' ingredient. I ordered that compounded without the lactose. I still had drug side effects, but not my usual dairy reaction, while taking that drug.

Did you ever get an answer from Sandoz? I have to use this drug on a regular basis and it is from Sandoz.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
