I hope someone can help me out here. I have conflicting information on this medication. The book by Jax Peters Lowell "The Gluten - Free Bible states that Levoxyl is not gluten free :( but glutenfreedrugs.com states that it is gluten-free :) . Does anyone know for sure if it is or isn't?

Thanks

Jessica

The Gluten Free Bible has many errors about what is and what is not gluten free. Do not believe what that book says because it has alot of inaccurate info that can be detrimental to new people to the diet.

I take Levoxyl, the last time I checked it was gluten-free and I don't have a problem with it.

I take Levoxyl --

If you have second food allergies it might pose a problem like what had begun for me. I believe it has CORN in it. I have a hard time with corn. I went to have a compound RX and it needs to be refrigrated. And I've lost power for 3 or more weeks at a time due to the hurricanes so I went back to LEVOXYL and its become a problem again.

The way I find out what ingredients are in a drug I google "levoxyl ingredients" and many time the manufacture web site pops up with the listings, if you can call the company.

      Should I be screened for celiac disease?

      By trents · Posted

      TTG would refer to a blood antibody test. Not valid if you are already eating gluten free or mostly so. DQH would refer to a genetic test to see if you possess either or both of the two genes that have been connected most strongly to developing active celiac disease. The genetic test is more of a rule out measure than a diagnostic test as about 40% of the general population have one or both of those genes but only about 1% of the general population develops active celiac disease. If you don't have the genes but gluten causes you issues then the conclusion is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. So, the genetic testing helps with a differential diagnosis. I...

      Tell him to get me a case...just kidding! I wonder why they are not labelled gluten-free here in the USA? They don't have gluten ingredients.

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      By Pamela Kay · Posted

      Glad this helped. There are lots of alternative breads out there, so someone has likely made some sort of paleo bread with no grain. And if you bake, experiment with some of the alternative flours to see what you can come up with. If you commit to the gluten-free diet 100%, you may want to do a bit of research on some of the tricker aspects of getting gluten out of your diet, such as cross contamination in the home kitchen (pots and pans, cutting boards, toaster, airborne flour). Don't feel you have to do everything at once, or let this overwhelm you. I've always said that going gluten free is a process, not a moment. The reason I mention this is that, if you think you are gluten-free, but...

      Should I be screened for celiac disease?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The doctor was correct--if you are gluten-free the blood panel for celiac disease will not work, you would need to go on gluten challenge in order to be tested. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for...
