I hope they do all they can to remove gluten ingredients from the OTC and script drugs we use. Hopefully they won't decide that wheat starch is gluten free and we don't have to worry about it. I have to wonder how many adverse reactions to drugs are not to the drugs themselves but to those durn binders.

Of course, with this FDA, it could now start off yet another 7 year commentary period of contemplation....
